Meet the Staff
Jim is co-owner of Puppy Camp. Jim is married and has 3 children. He has worked in the music industry for years. He wanted to be a vet but didn’t want to spend 12 years in school, so this is the next best thing. (Plus no need for chemistry class).
My parents never let me have a dog.
Susan (photographed) is co-owner of Puppy Camp, and also one of our overnight hosts. She is responsible for its start. She has over 30 years of experience as a veterinary assistant, and still works at Pleasant Ridge Pet Hospital on weekends. Jon is her husband, who works here part-time (but we don’t pay him). They have two grown children and have been married for 42 years! Their Son is a Veterinarian married to a veterinarian in PA.
Susan: It’s not easy being an alpha dog at 5’2″.
Jon: The dogs won’t believe me…I’m a cat person!
Stacy started at Puppy Camp in March of 2014. For the past seven years, she has been a kennel manager and supervisor in Chicago, Atlanta & Cincinnati. She is also a trainer, and volunteers at shelters.
I’m have a strong passion for the well being of all animals!
Shannon started at Puppy Camp in November 2017 and loved it. She is currently a sophomore at UC studying International Business. She took last summer off to work in an orphanage in Mexico.
I love to travel and explore new places, meet new people and of course play with dogs.
Matthew started at Puppy Camp in October 2018. He has worked at other dog day cares. He likes to work, so he always has two jobs. Matt has had lots of dogs his whole life.
Dogs are a family thing.
I’m just a big animal person, dogs, cats, any animal!
Bailey joined the team in July 2020. She is a senior at Harrison High School. Bailey plans on becoming a nurse while in the Army National Guard.
I volunteer at shelters so I can play and walk dogs when I’m not at Camp.
Dogs are more then just pets, they’re family. Family with really bad breath!
Alexis joined the Puppy Camp team in January 2020. Her dream is to become a welder and to own a farm someday.
I adore dogs, but I have a soft spot for all animals, even bugs.
Kelly joined Puppy Camp in August 2018. She graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in science and plans on getting her Master’s shortly. She has 2 sassy dogs of her own and plans on getting way more.
Dogs are what makes the world a better place.
