Kevonna

Manager

Kevonna

Kevonna has been working with animals in some capacity since the age of 16. Each encounter she has had over the years has touched her on a personal level and left an indelible mark on her soul. Her connection with one dog in particular – a Pitbull-Great Dane mix named Samson who suffered from seizures – made such a profound impact on Kevonna, that she knew making animals feel safe, loved and wanted would be her life’s mission. As one of Valley Pet Hotel’s assistant managers, she is fulfilling that life goal each and every day.

Kevonna’s journey initially began in Herriman, Utah, where she worked as a dog sitter for her friends, family, and neighbors. From there, she worked her way up to a kennel technician role at The Dog Zone, where she was promoted to supervisor in less than six months. When she moved back to California, Kevonna found an opening at Valley Pet Hotel and jumped at the chance to put her ambition, dedication, and attention to detail to work. Professionally, she enjoys doing baths and brushes. 

Outside of work, Kevonna has an emotional support Pitbull named Nali, who is currently living with Kevonna’s boyfriend back in Utah until he is able to make the move to CA. Nali is quite boujee and definitely knows how to get her way when she wants a treat or to go for a walk. She loves to sunbathe and play in the snow. Kevonna is eagerly awaiting their reunion so she can once again bring Nali along with her everywhere she goes.

In her spare time, Kevonna can often be found on the golf course – a hobby she picked up from her dad. She also loves cooking, especially in big batches that she can share with friends and neighbors. She’s always up to try a new recipe or bake some delicious treats for others to try. 

Stephanie

Kennel Assistant

Stephanie

When Stephanie was a kid, she could usually be found glued to the television, watching in awe as Steve Irwin (a.k.a. The Crocodile Hunter) handled all kinds of critters and wild animals. This influence, coupled with her love for her loyal canine companion, Zucky, inspired Steph to pursue a career working with animals. As a kennel attendant here at Valley Pet Hotel, Steph loves making fur babies feel safe and loved while their owners are on vacation.

At work, Steph enjoys the variety of seeing new animals every day. She also appreciates the opportunity she gets to bond with our longer-term guests. At the end of the day, Steph goes home to her multitude of pets, including a rescue dog named Saddie; a very smart pup named Eevee; two cats (Tigger and Keelala) who have both been taught to sit on command; and 3 tetras, 1 pleco, and 15 snails, all of whom share a 20-gallon aquarium.

In her spare time, Steph’s many hobbies include going to the gym, exploring nature, playing videogames, watching television (mostly anime and documentaries), and spending time with her pets and loved ones.

Alondra

Kennel Assistant

Alondra

Ever since she was a little girl, Alondra has found interacting with animals infinitely easier than interacting with other humans. It’s this special connection that inspired her to go into a career where she could work with and care for animals on a regular basis. In addition to the work she does as a kennel assistant, over the past two years, Alondra has also rescued two lost bunnies, two stray cats, and three birds. 

One of Alondra’s most memorable animal care experiences involved a pair of orphaned chicks. The tiny birds were so helpless, they required 24-hour care, while also ensuring that their habitat remained clean and they had plenty of food and water. Her dedication paid off, as both have developed into happy, healthy and well-adjusted chickens. Alondra strives to provide this same level of care and attention to our kennel guests.

At home, Alondra has several pets of her own, including her pride and joy – a cat named Cleo, as well as another small but feisty cat named Millie, and two dogs, Molly and Luna, who are practically joined at the hip. Aside from interacting with animals, Alondra’s other favorite pastime is drawing. 

Daniel

Kennel Assistant

Daniel

When things would get tough for Daniel growing up, he always seemed to find solace in the company of an animal. It wasn’t until he became an adult, however, that he decided to turn his love of animals into a career. Now, he feels honored to be devoting his life to helping his four-legged friends in need. 

As one of the kennel attendants here at Valley Pet Hotel, Daniel enjoys overcoming challenges in his day to day work. And, of course, there’s all the boarding guests he gets to care for and interact with! How many people get to list snuggles and cuddles as part of their job description?!

Daniel’s own fur-babies include a terrier mix named Luna, and four cats (Shadow, Pumpkin, Bird, and Ash), all of whom are rescues. Each of the kitties originally came from a litter of neighborhood strays. When he first took them in, they were malnourished and infested with fleas. Meanwhile, Luna had been badly abused and left to fend for herself outside. Daniel has nursed them all back to complete health.

Over the years, Daniel’s hobbies and personal interests have evolved quite a bit, but the most recent involves fostering kittens. He’s also big on streaming TV shows. A few favorites include Grey’s Anatomy, iZombie, and Dynasty. 

Kamiah

Kennel Assistant

Kamiah

When I was about 8 or 9 I knew that I wanted to have a career with animals, I’ve always been interested in learning more and learning about dogs and cats anatomy. At first I thought it would be cool to be a marine biologist but then I discovered that I am scared of what’s in the ocean. So I took my career into being a vet tech.

After high school I went to platt college and got my associates degree in veterinary technology and I am glad I’ve gotten to get the experience in the surgery room, doing dentals, vaccinating cats and dogs and answering lots of clients’ questions. I love when clients thank me for taking care of their pets and giving them the best care that I can.

I also have fur babies of my own that I love to take to the dog park in my free time and I’m my fur babies to the pool. I also enjoy going to the zoo and the aquarium and just learning as much information as I can.

Marissa

Assistant Manager

My love for animals started before I could even walk. Growing up with my 4 legged best friends Cheyenne, Sophie, and Lilly by my side was a huge part of what sparked my love for animals. Working with them has always been a no-brainer for me. I’ve made it my life’s mission to make a difference in the lives of all the beautiful creatures this world has to offer.

Throughout my life, I’ve had the privilege of working with and volunteering at many dog rescues/sanctuaries, animals hospitals and shelters. There is nothing more rewarding or fulfilling to me than being able to make a difference and help however I can. I feel like i am nothing without animals, they are my life and my reason to live so for that i will forever be grateful.
