Being born and raised here in Vacaville, it’s quite a blessing to be able to work in the town in which I live. I’ve always been a dog person, so having the opportunity to work with them every day, just can’t get any better. I feel that working with the public, we are, in a sense, also providing a much-needed service.

Pawsh is very family-oriented, and I’m very excited to have been a part of it for almost 3 years. When I’m not working I’m home taking care of my three kids and dog Buddy.

Hello, my name is William Speakman, I’ve been the environmental specialist at Pawsh Place for almost 5 years. I was born in South Korea and raised overseas before moving to the United States with my family.

I got into the pet care industry looking for a fresh start after my previous employment and was referred to Pawsh since they were looking for additional personnel. I enjoy being here because we all have the same goal, and that’s saving animals in our community.

I want to make life easier for everyone here at Pawsh. Time management is essential in our daily work schedule. It’s a fast-paced work environment that requires proper pacing and organization in order to function every day. That includes keeping our work environment safe and disinfected for our staff and community pets.

We have 3 dogs in my family, the oldest is our border collie, Hana. She’s 15 years old and is still as lively as ever when it comes to food. I have two Shi Tzu’s named Nala and Maya. They’re really spoiled and get everyone’s attention.

My hobbies include collecting old coins for historical purposes, as well as watching a lot of YouTube videos where I can expand my knowledge of stock market investing.

Hello, my name is Darian Haddon. I was born and raised right here in Vacaville and have been a Pawsh Place boutique and grooming receptionist for almost 3 years.

I’ve always loved animals and wanted to be part of a practice that cared for pets, so I started at Pawsh with my only experience being pet sitting. I’ve already learned so much in the few years I have been at Pawsh, and my goal here is to just continue to learn and grow in the pet care industry.

I have two pets of my own, Luca is a Heeler mix and Brother is an Aussie mix. When I was little, though, I used to collect stick bugs as pets.
