STAINTHWAITE STAFF

We thought you might like to know a little about us!!

Jude

Hi! I’m Jude and I’m the manager here at Stainthwaite, I’ve worked here for more than six years now and only regret it when it’s pouring with rain and minus two!! Only kidding!! I have more than 30 years’ worth of experience with dogs of all breeds and I believe passionately about their care both physically and mentally, if you can’t find me I’m usually in a kennel making sure the resident is happy and having cuddles!

Natalie

G’day! I’m Natalie and I’m from Australia. I was born and bred in the middle of the outback on a sheep and cattle station. (A little different than here!). I have worked with all types of animals all my life, including dogs, cats, horses and many sorts of livestock. I am now a fully qualified training certified dog trainer and hope to pursue this career/dream at Stainthwaite Boarding Kennels. I have been here for nearly three years now, I’ve definitely become part of the furniture! Listen out for my strange/mixed accent on our Facebook and Instagram page! I hope to see your doggies soon! 😊

Kath

Hi there I’m Kath, I have owned Stainthwaite Boarding Kennels for over 16 years now and have taken a back seat lately and I’m loving my retirement. I have a great team who have taken over from me and that I trust to see the kennels go from strength to strength, don’t worry though, you’ll still see me around and I’ll be sure to give you a cheery wave.

Courteney

I’m back!!! Couldn’t keep away!!! I remember many of our existing customers and I’m loving meeting all the new ones (and their pups obviously) It’s great to be back in the thick of things working with dogs of all shapes and sizes, whatever the weather throws at me I’m out walking and making sure our guests are happy and tired out!

Olivia

We are so pleased to have some young blood with us! Olivia has fitted in really well, she has a background of both dogs and horses and shines when she’s working with the dogs, she has a gorgeous Border Collie called Finn who stays with us when holidays come around. Olivia shows great presence of mind, she’s kind and fair, she takes everything in her stride! I’m sure you’ll be seeing her around the kennels if you haven’t already

Megan

Well! Megan’s background has nothing to do with dogs at all, although she was one of our customers! Megan has two dogs, Rubble and Bumble, who are brilliant dogs and bring great fun and amusement to the kennels. Sooo, a little about Megan…she’s an actress and an author!! You can find her in the second series of Game of Thrones and she’s already got two published fact/fiction books and is currently writing her third! Megan brings a totally different dimension to the team and is fast becoming an integral part of the kennels.

Hattie

Hattie is lovely, she’s kind, considerate and a fabulous work mate. She has two dogs now (started with one and then a little rescue whippet wiggled her way into her heart) Rue and Bambi. Hattie is passionate about the kennels, she’s quick and eager to learn and she practices using her ‘big voice’ daily! She extends all her best attributes to the dogs too and she has the patience of a saint. Hattie has moved into front of house too now and I’m sure some of you know her already.
