Less Stress Means A Healthier Pet

It was Maria's simple love of animals that brought her into this profession. Maria worked at a Toronto Emergency Veterinary Hospital for many years as a receptionist/floor manager until herself, her husband and their daughter decided to move up north. At which time she started working at a clinic in Penetang where she was introduced to Becky. The two of them have remained close friends and when Covid-19 hit, she began to volunteer/ work for Trooper Pet. Maria has found a home in Trooper Pet, as she believes that this mobile service is much needed in our homes and community for pets to get routine care without the stress of a clinic...plus she gets to schedule the best of the best pets and their parents in the Simcoe County area! You can find her with her husband and daughter taking their dog, Oakley on adventures or cuddling with their cat, Ruby at home.

Brooklynn has always had a very strong passion for animals of all kinds! Growing up she owned all types of pets from a pot bellied pig down to a hedgehog! She worked at a vet clinic in Barrie for a few years before deciding to join the team here at Trooper Pet. She has a strong love and drive to help our particularly nervous pet friends, which is what initially attracted her to Trooper Pet. As the fur parent of a nervous beagle mix herself, she understands what it’s like to be anxious going to the vet clinic for something as simple as even a nail trim! She is excited to help all of our pet parents and their fur babies look and feel their best. On her down time, you can usually find her snuggling with her Rottweiler, Ben or sun tanning with her bearded dragon, Peach!

Growing up Melanie was a huge animal lover, she has always had dogs and cats. It actually took her a while to figure out where she wanted to go with her career but she knew she wanted to be within the animal field. She went to Georgian College in Orillia for Veterinary Assisting and she explains it as being the ``greatest decision I've ever made! The experience I got has helped me tremendously grow as a person and in my career.`` While she loves working with animals, she really enjoys dealing with pet parents and educating them on things they may not know about or may be curious about. When she saw the job posting for Trooper Pet she knew it was the job for her - an opportunity to be able to see animals in their happy places and to see all the lovely pet parents with whom she can tell care tremendously about their fur babies. Welcome to the team Trooper Pet Melanie!
