🐾 Meet Natalie, Our Manager!🐾
If you've visited Sam's K-9 Kennels, you've probably met Natalie! She's the friendly face you'll often see in the office, answering questions, scheduling reservations, and making sure every owner and pup feels right at home.
Natalie's love for animals began long before Sam's K-9 Kennels. When she was just one year old, a stray dog named Max found his way to her family. She had the privilege of loving and caring for Max for the next 15 years, and she credits him as the reason she fell in love with dogs. That special bond sparked a lifelong passion for caring for animals.
Today, Natalie has two dogs, Ace and Oakley, along with four cats that keep life entertaining. Before joining Sam's K-9 Kennels, she spent more than five years pet sitting, where she discovered just how much she loved caring for other people's pets. Now, she gets to do what she loves every day while also having more balance in her personal life.
For Natalie, the best part of the job isn't just spending time with dogs—it's the relationships she gets to build. She loves getting to know every owner and every pup that walks through the doors. Seeing familiar faces, watching nervous dogs become comfortable, and getting to love on so many incredible dogs makes every challenging day worth it.
If there's one type of dog you'll always find by Natalie's side, it's the cuddler. She has a soft spot for pups that simply want to be close, soak up attention, and give all the love they can.
Natalie is incredibly thankful for the support this community has shown Sam's K-9 Kennels. More than anything, she's grateful for the relationships that have been built along the way. The trust you've placed in us, your kind words, and your recommendations have allowed our small business to grow and thrive. She would also like to give a special thank you to Joe for bringing her into this opportunity and allowing her to be part of something she truly loves.
We're so thankful to have Natalie as part of the Sam's K-9 Kennels family, and we know your pups are too!
