About Us

Our People Pack

Meet 3 department team leaders that provide all the creature comforts!

Victoria - Daycare & Evaluations Leader

I am the owner & actively involved in the daycare operations. I love my job and I love getting to spend my days with all of our beloved guests :)

I have attended school in the Business field as well as in the Veterinary Medicine field, and have expansive knowledge on animal training techniques and nutrition. I founded Students Toward Animal Rights (S.T.A.R.) in 2004 and am also the founder of Mitzi's Mission, a giant breed dog and horse rescue.

I’m eternally grateful for all of our wonderful staff, clients, family, & friends that support us and continue to share their trust in us.

Thank you for supporting a girl and her dog’s dream!

Bill - Tours & Customer Service Leader

I joined the GPPCS team full-time in 2017 when I left my corporate job in insurance. It was the best decision I ever made because I love getting to work with my wife & spend my days with my extended dog family.

I usually run reception in the mornings, and also do tours & meet & greets with new guests.

I love coffee, it gets me through our action-packed days. I created a gourmet brand called Royal Great Dane Coffee & you'll often find me brewing up some morning java as I welcome you and your dog to Golden Paws each day :)

Brooke - Reception Leader

I handle front desk operations here, which includes scheduling and accounts.

I have been welcomed by friendly and compassionate people who love their canine companions. Of course I can't forget to mention the best part, seeing all the awesome dogs every day!

Having many critters of my own, & graduating with a bachelors degree for animal behavior & experience with anthrozoology, I know the importance your pet holds to you. I hope to bring the best care to you & your pet during my time here.

Some fun facts about me:
💙 I love all critters (even the scaly, feathered and furry ones!)
💛 I dabble in photography.
💙 The outdoors is my happy place.

How We Got Started

I rescued my first dog, Mitzi --a Great Dane/Labrador-- in 2006 while I was going to Veterinary school. Mitzi was diagnosed with oral melanoma, and was turned down by Cornell University twice when I sought advice and treatment for her, as patients with this form of cancer are typically unresponsive and prognosis is documented as extremely poor.

In 2010, I was able to start Golden Paws Pet Care Services. Our company was founded on the idea of helping those in need. Starting GPPCS allowed me to work, and care for Mitzi at the end-stages of her life, all at the same time. I made it my company's mission to help other pet-parents who needed quality & loving care for their four-legged friends. Because of this mission, we donate a percentage of our profits to local rescues and pet families dealing with cancer, all in Mitzi’s memory.

All of my dogs and cats are rescued animals, because Mitzi was my first rescue that I’ll forever be grateful to have known and loved. Because of her, the inspiration to create a legacy of love and light has blessed me beyond measure.
