Katie Rose

Retail Manager

I’m a very happy and warm-hearted girl who has loved animals all my life! I always dreamed as a little girl to have a pup-family of my own. After marrying my wonderful husband, we adopted our Pomeranian, Nellie. Our sweet Nellie is our world and we can’t imagine our life without her. My husband and I moved to Vacaville a little over two years ago and fell in love with the town.

After visiting Pawsh with my joyful little Pomeranian, I knew this was the place for me! Nellie & I had an incredible experience as a first time client & patient. We instantly felt so cared for and valued. I’m new to the pet care world and am very excited to be working with the amazing doctors and friendly staff. Everyone at Pawsh is so welcoming! When you bring your pet in, you’ll both feel like family here!

Hello. My name is Cheyenne, and I am a boutique receptionist. I grew up in Vacaville and have been surrounded by animals of all types my whole life. I came to Pawsh looking for a place that I could constantly be around dogs. I have one dog named Daisy, we love to just watch movies and go on random late night drives through the back roads. I always want to be around animals, and now I can be at home and at work. I’m Proud to be a part of pawsh where i can get closer to my goal of petting all the dogs!!!

Arikka Shephard

Receptionist

Hi, I’m Arikka, and I work in the Boutique at Pawsh Place. I grew up moving around in a military family but settled down for most of my childhood in Germany. Throughout my life, I have had many different pets but have always had a special place in my heart for my chameleon, who really taught me how each animal has a unique personality and bond with their owner. When I am not at Pawsh, I enjoy knitting, horseback riding, and reading!

I’m currently attending school to pursue a degree in Biology and Animal Behavior with dreams of attending McGill University in Canada for my Doctorate in Animal Behavior. I hope to open my own animal sanctuary for endangered animals one day because I want to make a difference in animal’s lives and the community.

I love working for Pawsh because each staff member shares the common goal of giving customers everything that they want and need. Everyone collaborates to give our clients the best pet care and strives to get as close to perfection as possible. I am proud to be a part of this team and can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby!

Melissa Garcia

Receptionist

Hi there! My name is Melissa & I am a boutique receptionist here at Pawsh Place! I have always had a love for animals starting at a very young age. I fell in love with Pawsh Place about 2 years ago when I brought my dogs in for their vaccinations. I was immediately welcomed and treated like family here. I knew that as soon as I was old enough, I had to apply to join this amazing team! Now, just a few years later, here I am getting to meet some of the cutest pawsh pets ever! If you love pets, be sure to visit our vet hospital, grooming and play care departments! Visit us for their checkups, some treats, pet socialization or just a good time! I hope to meet you and your fur babies soon! 

Alexis Ocampo

Receptionist

Hey there I’m Alexis! I’m from the Bay Area but moved to Suisun City when I was 7 and been there ever since. I’ve always been a huge animal lover ever since I was a baby. I remember falling in love with all animals and trying to save every little animal I found outside no matter what it was. In my free time I like to find random hiking spots and take my Australian Shepherd Mischa with me. I hope one day I can open up my own animal rescue for cats and dogs! I love working at Pawsh and meeting everyone’s fur babies!

Staci

Receptionist

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 be a part of it. When I’m not working I’m home taking care of my three kids and dog Buddy.

William Speakman

Environmental Specialist

I’m from a military family where I was raised overseas before coming here to California. I enjoy reading, watching shows and walking my dogs. My favorite animal is the tiger. I worked at a car dealership and have done volunteer work for charity.

I enjoy working with animals because they are just like people. They come in all different shapes and sizes and each have a unique way of communicating. There are plenty of programs to support people in need, unfortunately, I feel there aren’t enough resources and people who want to help animals. I like working at Pawsh so I can help provide animal care for our community.

My favorite moment is welcoming a new family pet home for the first time and letting them steal my heart. I have been living with pets ever since I was little. The experience allowed me to develop close friendships as well as creating long lasting memories that I will always cherish.
