Before stepping into my role as the owner of Luckydog in 2018, I was a client for five years, entrusting the care of my French Bulldog, Mr. Bubbles, to the team I would eventually lead. This unique vantage point as a pet parent has endowed me with invaluable insights into the client experience, enabling me to elevate our services from a place of deep understanding and empathy. My journey from client to owner is rooted in a genuine passion for animal care, shaped by seven years of dedicated study and work in veterinary medicine, complemented by a decade of achievement in the corporate sphere. This blend of personal experience and professional expertise informs our commitment at Luckydog to providing customized care that meets the distinct needs of each dog. Our dedication to excellence is reflected in our certified positive reinforcement trainers, transparent operations, and the strong relationships we build with the local veterinary community, ensuring a safe, enriching experience for all dogs in our care. My story underscores a commitment not just to maintaining high standards, but to continually enhancing the Luckydog difference, a journey that has been recognized with the Reader's Choice "Best of" award for Lane County Oregon for the last five years.

As a pet-grooming expert with over a decade of experience, I take immense pleasure in building connections with pets. From adorable quirky puppies to confident sweet dogs, it's been a delight to see my clients' fur-babies grow under my care.

My fur-family consists of an energetic Heeler mix named Bruno and a grumpy old cat named Zolinda, both with strong personalities that make them slightly neurotic, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Aside from spending quality time with my furry friends, I'm an avid hiking enthusiast who fell in love with Eugene's natural beauty and vibrant community.

Having lived in Oregon for over seven years, I've embraced every minute of it and cherish the sense of community I've experienced here. Being part of the Lucky Dog team is a source of great pride and gratitude for me. I share the team's unwavering dedication to providing animals with safe, healthy, and compassionate care.
