The Faces Behind Dog Camp

Meet the Pack

Claudia Valdez and Frankie

Owner-Dog Camp

Memorable Moment:
My most memorable Dog Camp moment was when I first got to walk through the property and got to see all the happy dogs playing in the yards. Fell in love with Dog Camp that day.
Superpower:
My superpower is that I’m able to remain calm in high stress situations.

Caryl Fonseca and Remi

Owner-Dog Camp

Memorable Moment:
I love seeing our Campers break free from their issues, fears, reactions, etc. It is so rewarding to see them happy and flourishing at Dog Camp when they were once exiled, sad, and misunderstood.
Superpower:
I throw a pretty interactive and fun Christmas party.

Art Fonseca and Havoc

Owner-Dog Camp

Memorable Moment:
Besides watching the magic happen at Dog Camp -all day- everyday, Art had a proud dog dad moment watching Havoc take the first run on Dog Camp’s lure course!
Superpower:
Art can herd cats, simultaneously wear multiple hats, and is Dog Camp’s waymaker!

Heather Khan with Turk and Henri

Senior Daycare Tech

Memorable Moment:
I love seeing the pups come in so excited to spend the day at Dog Camp. Sometimes they are pretty shy in the beginning and it’s lovely to see them blossom and gain confidence with their new friends.
Superpower:
I’m pretty intuitive about figuring out which play group a new pup will fit in with. I’m also really good at spraying myself straight in the face with the hose at least once a shift.

Cheri Tastch and Charli

Senior Kennel Tech

Memorable Moment:
We had a puppy camper with loose baby teeth. When the teeth fell out, we made his bed with a pillow and put the puppy teeth under the pillow so the tooth fairy could come. Sure enough, she came and she left him treats!
Superpower:
I’m kind of like Dr. Doolittle!

Marissa Duarte

Kennel Tech
Memorable Moment:
My most memorable Dog Camp moment so far was when four small dogs tried to fit on my lap all at once for cuddle time!
Superpower:
My superpower is that I feel deep empathy for animals and people.

Lori Voss and Triscuit

Kennel Tech

Memorable Moment:
Giving an anxious dog a massage and having them relax enough to sit then lie down and settle.
Superpower:
Making chocolate disappear!

Pet Stylist

My most memorable moment was coming out of retirement from my 11 years of grooming service to Dog Camp to once again work for Dog Camp as a Consultant/ Groomer. This is an amazing establishment I work for because of their values and dedication to pet care.

Colleen’s superpower is her communication skills with pet parents to ensure she understands their grooming expectations.
