Jen Miller
Director of Training
Brooklin Sullivan
Groom Tech & Dog Handler
Jen started working with dogs over 10 years ago. After 20 years of managing real estate and raising her daughter, she was ready to fulfill her real passion.
She started working as a dog handler at a large boarding facility. Her duties included handling 20-50 dogs in the play area and conducting one-on-one play for dogs that were not a good fit for the large group play. Other responsibilities included bathing and keeping dogs hydrated and fed.
Jen also helped the vet techs with giving medication and assisting the veterinarian when needed. She was quickly promoted to Assistant General Manager and managed a staff of 10-15 employees. She is certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. Jen also volunteered with German Shepards of Orange County and Irvine Animal Shelter for many years.
Jen has currently been working as a trainer at WOOF! for nearly two years. She was recently promoted to Director of Training and is excited to re-structure and enhance the training experience of the WOOF! Training Academy. Jen enjoys identifying problem behaviors, teaching owners methods to train their dog, developing a plan of action for the dog and owner, and creating a welcoming and bonding environment.
When not working, Jen enjoys hiking, biking with her husband and painting.
Brooklin Sullivan will always be a country girl at heart, growing up in the heart of Uintah Basin, also known as Vernal, Utah. There's not much going on there other than green pastures and animals. So it's no surprise that Brooklin found her love for animals at an early age. Growing up on a farm has played a very defining role in her occupational choice and likely will in her future ventures. In fact, her first job at the age of 15 was pet sitting for her local neighbors.
Once moving to St.George, she got her first real job at a Pet Spa, immediately devoting her time and love for animals to the job. Her efforts didn't go unnoticed, she was promoted as lead supervisor in less than 6 months. Along the way she learned many great skills: diffusing a fight between dogs, general wound care, and providing a safe and calming atmosphere for dogs.
When she got the opportunity to work for WOOF! Wellness Center, she was absolutely elated! Not only has she found a wonderful place that she feels at home, but she is excited to advance her grooming skills and her career here.
When Brooklin isn’t working with animals you can find her attending her local gym, drawing and painting, and spending time with her family and her spoiled animals
Kasidee Carter
Groom Tech & Dog Handler
Growing up around animals I always found that they would be a large part of my life, so I decided to create a career around them. As I moved to St. George to start school at Utah Tech as an undergrad vet student, my goal was to find a place that I could work towards my career and be passionate about the mission behind the company.
WOOF! fulfilled that role and I could not be happier with the work and team here. I have enjoyed learning more about dogs in general and anything new that the team has let me sit it on. I have found that there is so much information and learning to be done at WOOF! and I’m excited to be a part of the team.
When I’m not working here at WOOF! or in school, I’m either at the gym, doing something in the outdoors, probably in a hammock or fishing, or back in California on a horse.
