Ashley is one of our shift leads. She has a four year old Chihuahua/terrier mix rescue named Chance. He is her baby and her whole world. In her free time, Ashley likes spending time in nature, but especially near water. Beach days, boat days and canoeing are some of her favorite ways to pass the time. She loves hunting for beach glass or just relaxing, catching up on true crime. Ashley also loves the aquarium and has had a membership there since moving to Duluth about 12 years ago. She is also a huge Vikings fan! There isn't much Ashley doesn’t love about working with animals. She loves getting to know their individual personalities, forming bonds with them, and creating a place they are excited to come to. She really loves that they can make just about any bad day better.

If Ashley could be any animal she would be a black cat. She loves everything witchy and spooky. Ashley goes back and forth between wanting to be around people and retreating to her comfy apartment away from people all together. She loves water, but not swimming, and her two favorite things are eating and sleeping. Who can blame her for that?

Meet Sam! She is one of our kennel attendants. Sam has three pets of her own: A calico cat named Eva, a toy yorkie named Benji and a bearded dragon named Draco! She is quite the crafter and likes to sew and woodwork. You can also find Sam playing video games, going for hikes and gardening when the weather permits. Recently, Sam completed all 26.2 miles of the Los Angeles Marathon, but she doesn’t have a favorite band so I wonder what she listened to on the run. She says she listens to ALL music: Independent, rap, classic rock, ska, jazz and disco. What a playlist! Sam has also always loved animals and has worked with both domestic and exotic animals. She has found that they aren’t much different than people, each having their own unique personality, and loves getting to know all the dogs that come into the kennel. One really cool fact about Same is that she graduated from a zoological magnet school. She used to work at the LA zoo and train rats!

If Sam could be any animal she would be an Albatross, the world's largest sea bird! They also have the largest wingspan out of any bird, but Sam just wants to be able to fly!

As a reminder, we require all dogs in our care to be up to date on Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella, and have a negative fecal result within the past year. Cats must have feline Rabies and Distemper vaccines.

Thank you for helping us maintain a healthy environment for our furry friends!

This is Kameron, she is our General Manager! With three adorable rescues at home- Kiba, Mushu and Neeko, She is a true pet lover at heart. From binge-watching Stranger Things to diving into video games and books, she is all about the cozy life, which is exactly how she wants animals who stay with us to be. Kameron is passionate about pet comfort and treats every animal here as if they were one of her own, ensuring they are as comfy as they can be with cozy bedding and lots of treats and cuddles. As a nervous pet owner herself, Kameron loves reassuring anxious owners who turn to us to care for their beloved animals. Foodie adventures and home improvement projects are her jam, while being the eldest of 6 keeps life exciting! The age gap between her and her siblings ranges between 8 and 23 years.

If she could be any animal she would be one of her own pets because of how spoiled and loved they are. Is it too much to ask to be treated like royalty?

This is Felecia, she is one of our shift leads. At home, Felica has two animals, a dog named Jethro and a cat named KitKat! When she’s not working, you can find her under the hood of her cars, spending time on the track or capturing moments through her camera lens. Volunteering at her church, spending time with loved ones and in nature are where she finds her peace. Felicia found a love for competing in dance and caring for horses starting at the age of four. These passions have helped shape her into the individual she is today and have stuck with her through life. Her love for animals has brought her to us and we couldn’t be happier with all the hard work and care she puts into her work here. What she loves most about working with animals are the cute and amusing stories that come from each of their unique personalities. She loves learning about each animal’s individual quirks!

If she could be any animal, Felicia would be a Kangaroo, embodying their nurturing spirit and fierce protectiveness over loved ones.

Meet Maren, she is one of our Office Managers! She loves her dog Houdini and all the dogs that come to White Pine Pet Care. Outside of work, Maren likes to play violin in the community orchestra; Music is one of her biggest passions outside of dogs! Some of her favorite musicians include: The Beatles, Laufey, Edvard Grieg, Ella Fitzgerald, and Juanes. You can also find her kayaking, visiting graveyards and reading Tarot cards in her free time. Maren has also been devoting time towards learning Spanish and Finnish on Duolingo, so next time you see her say “Hello” to her in one of those languages!

If Maren could be any animal she would be a Capybara because they are friends with most other animals. They have a calm disposition and can be on either land or in water. Capybaras are also giant rodents, which is a thumbs up in Maren’s books!

Bath prices are based off size of dog, ranging from $15-$55. Nail trims are $15.
