Meet The Pack

Growing up I always knew I would end up working in the animal industry. I originally thought I would be a veterinarian or maybe a dog groomer but quickly realized that training dogs was a huge passion of mine.

I have now been in the animal industry for 7 years. Starting as a dog bather, then as a daycare attendant in Ventura, CA. It is in Ventura where I found my passion for training dogs. I eventually made my way to the Inland Empire and found my home at Best Buddies Pet Care. The owners and now friends, Kimie and Nicole, provided a safe space for me to flourish as a Trainer and as a Daycare Manager. With their guidance I have become not only confident in my training ability but fully confident in myself as a whole!

After working at Best Buddies Pet Care for a few years I was approached by Kimie and Nicole with the huge opportunity to take over the daycare operation which I have now renamed Pack Pawsitive LLC!

I am beyond excited to continue to provide you all with the best pet care in town, as the proud owner of Pack Pawsitive LLC! I would like to give a huge thank you to each and everyone one of you pet parents as this dream would have never been possible without you.

My name is Allison, I go by Allie most of the time. I am 22 years old and currently live in Rancho Cucamonga. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to work with animals. I have always had a deep connection with them and am very passionate about saving each and every one in need in whatever way I can. Besides hanging out with my pups, one of my hobbies is singing. I used to travel around the county singing with my sister at different events but as we got older, it is now a fun thing to do on the side. I have two doggies and three kitties, I adore all of them. In the next five years, I hope to still be working with animals in some way and want to work my way up to becoming a professional dog trainer. My favorite part of my job is being surrounded with unconditional love by all the dogs as soon as I come in the building, right up until I have to leave. My favorite breed of dog is the classic golden retriever because I have one of my own and he is the best companion I could have ever asked for.

What made you want to work with animals?

What motivated me to want to work with animals was the fact that growing up I used to resent people for the way they mistreated animals or for judging a dog based off its breed and it made me want to make a difference in a dogs life in any way I can.

What is one of your favorite hobbies?

One of my favorite hobbies is doing my Makeup, I like to challenge myself and try to do makeup looks that people wouldn’t normally do.

Do you have any pets of your own?

I do have a dog of my own, He is a Golden Retriever named Sunny, I wanted his name to end the same way my name ends. 

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

In the next 5 years I hope to be a certified dog trainer so that I can help the dogs in shelters get adopted out.

What is your favorite part about working at Pack Pawsitive?

My favorite part of the job is being able to see the  growth of the pups at work, whether it’s with their training or just seeing how quirky or how much personality they have.

What is your favorite breed?

My favorite breed of dog is a Golden Retriever, I grew up around so many retrievers and they are always just the sweetest, loving dogs, and they have so much personality.
