Meet Annie !

4/12/2023

Annie is one of our amazing kennel attendants who also enjoys helping out at the front desk over the past year. Although she doesn’t own any pets, Annie spends a lot of time dog sitting her “niece” Ivy – a sweet little Terrier mix. Annie does plan on adopting an older dog in the future, however. Her favorite thing about working here is seeing our Tail Gaters come in as younger pups and watching them grow-up and “graduate” to different playgroups to meet new forever friends. She also likes to work the front desk and get to know all our clients. One story of working here she’ll always remember is seeing all the birthday pups coming in looking so dapper in their birthday bandanas, hats, and sweaters. As she says, “who doesn’t love a dog in a sweater?” Little Spanky came in on his birthday wearing a bandana and party hat, Annie thought it was the most adorable thing! When Annie isn’t working her booty off at Tail Gate, she enjoys designing and working on her art, selling her ‘string-art’ at craft shows and on her Etsy page, watching old TV shows/movies, doing jigsaw puzzles, painting, and spending time with her family and friends. Annie is an awesome person, and we are so glad she’s part of our Tail Gate family!

Meet Our Staff

1/23/2023

Sam is one of our lead kennel attendants that has been working at Tail Gate for 4 years. She has two dogs, Aria and Apollo, as well as two cats, Raven and Pepper. If her pets could say anything about her, they’d say that she is the best treat lady and daily walker…AKA their FAVORITE person ever! Her favorite thing about working at TG is working with all the dogs and their unique personalities along with her coworkers. One of the greatest stories she loves to tell is how all our clients get her and her twin sister, Jess, confused. Sam was hired a week after Jess was and all her coworkers thought she was Jess and that she was playing a prank on them. It was so funny! When Sam isn’t working, she enjoys reading, exploring forest preserves with her fiancée, and do 1000-piece puzzles. Sam is such a blast, and we are so glad she’s part of our Tail Gate family!
