Kellie
Hi, I’m
Kellie, the Cherrybrook Garwood
store manager. I have been with
Cherrybrook since this store location opened in 2010. I have spent my entire life around animals
and have worked with dogs in various ways.
I spent many years both working and volunteering at a local animal
shelter and with various rescue groups.
My love for dogs brought me to the Seeing Eye in NJ where I worked for 5
years at the breeding station. In 2008,
I embarked on a once in a lifetime journey around the United States with my
doggie soul mate, a German shepherd named Hudson. We traveled to over 40 states, Mexico, and Canada, camping and seeing what
this great country had to offer.
After
returning home I worked as a veterinary technician for a canine reproduction specialist
here in NJ for 1 year before moving out to Denver
with Hudson, my
doggie soul mate, to open our very own doggie daycare and boarding facility,
Barkly Manor. During this time I
continued my education in dog training and became a Certified Pet Dog Trainer
(CPDT-KA) and a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator as well. I truly enjoyed my years as a trainer working
with families and their new puppies/rescues.
Having a pet is such a rewarding experience and I love sharing that passion
with others!
After a few
years in Colorado
I got engaged and decided to move back home to NJ to start my new family. My husband and I have since had 2 adorable
children and a German shepherd named Vader. Working at Cherrybrook allows me to continue
my career in the pet industry. I enjoy
offering advice to customers based on my extensive background in all things
dog! Stop by and say Hi next time you
are in the store!
Anthony
Hi, I’m
Anthony and I have been an integral member of the Cherrybrook Garwood team and have a range of experience working with pets and pet parents.
Before joining the team at Cherrybrook I spent a few years at another
well known NJ pet store, honed my customer service skills at an upscale home
décor retailer, and prior to that enjoyed my time working in canine health management
assisting in medical procedures of and caring for guide dogs for the visually
impaired. My two dogs love that I work
here at Cherrybrook. I love working at Cherrybrook too and I especially enjoy greeting and serving our customers everyday.
Camille
Hi, I'm Camille
and I joined the Cherrybrook Garwood
team 4 years ago after being one of Garwood's
best customers. As a professional
groomer I am very happy to share my grooming expertise with all of our
customers. On most Mondays I offer walk
in advice and nail trimming from 10:30am-1:30pm for just $10. All the proceeds go to the Tibetan Terrier
Club of America Rescue. I love Tibetan
Terriers and have owned, breed, and showed them for years. I've joined many happy families with their new
furry additions. If you have any
grooming or rescue related questions then I'm your gal, so stop in or call on
Monday and ask for me.
Laura
Hi, I’m
Laura and I'm pleased to be the newest addition to the Cherrybrook Garwood family. I've always owned dogs and have been very
passionate about them. I was a member of
The Board of Directors at Rawhide Rescue for 6 years and an active member for
15. For 8 years I've rescued numerous dogs from the south and placed
several hundred into their "fur-ever" homes. Taking care of
pregnant dogs and whelping their puppies has always been an exciting and
special experience for me. I own one beautiful
12 year old female Husky mix named Angelina.
Besides
being an avid member in rescue, I've also worked in retail for 25 years. Even with all of my experience, I still am
growing and learning new things each day thanks to the entire team at Cherrybrook.
I enjoy greeting customers and offering
my help and insight. With such an
extensive past in working with dogs in general I'm always available to answer
any questions that a customer might have. But if you have any questions about
acclimating your rescue to your home and family, or want to know what toys or
treats are best for your dog I will be particularly happy to help.
