Emma grew up in beautiful Rhode Island where she attended art school at RISD. She moved to the PNW six years ago to be closer to the great western outdoors. She always had a deep love of animals and as a young child would often tell people she wanted to become a veterinarian when she grew up. For the past several years Emma has worked as a dog walker, dog sitter, and at a boarding and daycare facility which temporarily placated her deep need for a dog until she adopted her own baby boy. Their favorite activities are sleeping, hiking with her weekly unofficial ladies hiking club, watching Parks and Recreation, cooking by a camp fire, coveting other peoples’ old Ford Broncos, and going to Thousand Acres dog park. She will be enrolling in the Veterinary Technician program at PCC in the near future.

Jenn is originally from southeastern Connecticut, but has been in the Pacific Northwest for 22 years. Ever since she can remember, she has always had a pet companion to care for and dote on. In 2008 her life changed forever when she adopted a mangey dump dog from Mexico named Pepsi. This new companion took care of her too! It only made sense that after almost 15 years in the pet food industry (with a focus on canine nutrition), that she looked into working in the veterinary medicine field. And here is where she was introduced to the field of canine massage. Jenn enrolled at the Northwest School of Animal Massage and is now a Certified Small Animal Massage Practitioner and is currently working on her Rehabilitation Massage Certification. In her limited spare time, she can be found trapping feral cats for the Feral Cat Coalition, massaging shelter dogs, going to movies and live music shows, and most importantly spending time with her partner, Mat, and their beautiful shelter mutts' Pepsi and Rocket and their 21 year old kitty, Jorge.

Hi, my name is Britney and I have lived in Portland and surrounding areas my whole life. Growing up I was always helping with my dads auto restoration business but being around animals has always been my happy place. Since I can remember I have been around animals, right now I have a bunch of chickens, 4 goats, and 4 dogs running around. I've recently started a veterinary school program to become a certified veterinary technician and I am excited to keep growing. When I am not doing homework in my free time you can find me exploring the outdoors, trying new food places or reading a book.
