Owner & Manager
Arielle Stokes
Arielle has always known she wanted to work with animals. She began her experience at just 8 years old by volunteering to walk dogs being boarded at the vet her family took their animals. After gaining her bachelor’s degree in biology from Southeast Missouri State University, she worked hard to become a well trusted name in the pet boarding industry for over seven years. She is so excited to finally be able to bring her dream of owning her own facility to life, and looks forward to being able to service both you and your furry family for years to come.
Sammi – Asst. Kennel Manager
Having always had a deep love for animals Sammi chose to start pet sitting when she was able to get her driver’s license. Her affection for caring for animals grew as she began to care for more pups. When she was given a chance to join the Complete Canine Family she jumped in paws first! She recently adopted her own fur baby, Jax, who has become a cherished part of her life. Jax often accompanies her to the kennel. He has helped many of our guests ease into their stay, play, and enjoy their stay! He loves to meet new friends, he and his mom are excited to shower your fur baby with love when they visit!
Sam – Groomer
After starting her career in grooming as a bather, her love for the industry continued to grow and she knew she wanted to further her training to become a full service groomer. She works with many different breeds of dog every day and always makes sure the clients’ fur babies are as comfortable and as happy as possible while they are on her table. At the end of a long day, she loves to come home to her husband, baby girl, and her own Boston Terrier fur baby.
Zoe – Groomer
Having been an animal lover her entire life, Zoe has always known that she would work with them in some way. While her husband, a United States Marine, was stationed in San Diego she began her grooming career. She started off as a bather but decided to take the leap in pursuing grooming more in depth within her first year in the industry. During their four years in sunny California she worked under many talented groomers and honed in her skills. She so excitedly wrote on her Instagram*, “I’m so thrilled to continue my grooming career at this beautiful facility… I can’t wait to see all my favorite Missouri people & their pups at my new job”! At home she has “quite the zoo” with three dogs and two foster-fail kitties. She strives to love on each pup as if they were one of her own and enjoys giving each of them an experience and cut that is unique and loved by their owners.
