Jen
Maisie
Maisie is a huge animal lover and currently has three dogs and one cat. Her love of animals prompted her to change careers from education to pet sitting and dog walking — she volunteered at a local animal shelter for three years and worked there for one before coming to Zen Pet Care. She also just completed her dog training certification from CATCH Canine Trainers Academy. When she is not with animals she enjoys watching her sons fence and play hockey.
Elaina
Elaina is a business major who grew up in New Hartford. She had two cats and a dog when she was young, and over time she’s added a golden retriever and five cats. She is passionate about animals, which drew her to Zen Pet Care. She’s now based in Collinsville and is excited to take care of dogs and cats in Canton and the surrounding towns!
Jessica
Jessica is a lifelong passionate animal lover. She grew up with cats, dogs, hamsters, bunnies and other animals, and she loves being outdoors and hiking, especially with a furry companion. After she and her husband welcomed their first child in 2017 she became a stay-at-home mom, but now that he’s in school she’s excited to venture back into the workforce doing something she loves. For the past decade she has fostered animals for numerous shelters and rescues, and she has become deeply involved with two local rescues in Granby and Simsbury, gaining valuable knowledge and skills. Her house is full of animals, including three cats, a big goofy dog and 20 chickens!
