Jakub

(Owner)

Hello, my name is Jakub. I took ownership of Paws To Play in the beginning of 2022. I am an Army Veteran, a father of 2, and a parent to a 6 year old Chow Chow named Bunia. Throughout my childhood, as well as my adult life, I always had a dog in addition to many other animals. I enjoy taking care of animals and spending time with them. I wore many hats in my life, but being a doggy daycare owner is by far most enjoyable. I have spent plenty of time learning about dog behavior and proper care and I enjoy putting my knowledge to practice.

Ashley

(Daycare Associate)

Hi! My name is Ashley. I am a twenty-three year old college student at Central Coast College. I am in my first year of vet assisting and my goal is to become a vet-technician. The reason I am working towards this goal(career) is the love and respect I have for animals. I love all sorts of critters, big to small. I personally have two dogs, a Pitbull/Labrador/Retriever and a Chihuahua. I’ve been taking care of them since the age of 10. They are both great companions. I love working at Paws to play because I get to work with dogs by watching their social behavior and improving their training and obedience commands.

Elena

(Manager)

Hello, my name is Elena. Dogs are my favorite people ;) I have been around dogs for my entire life. Growing up I had a cocker spaniel, collie, german shepard, 3 dachshunds, jack russel terrier and a chihuahua mix. I have completed a behavior/ obedience course for dogs and I have competed in dog shows with my dachshunds. In the past I was a manager and a groomer in a dog hotel. I am looking forward to taking care of and getting to know your furry children.
