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.
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.
Lily – Groomer
Lilly is a Troy native and has loved animals all her life. The current owner of 4 dogs, a hamster, and countless chickens and ducks, Lilly has always surrounded herself with as many animals as possible. As a mom of a little boy, she hopes to impart some of that love into her son and raise him to be compassionate animal lover as well. She loves spending her off time with her son, going to concerts, and coaching in local the TBall league.
After coming to work for Complete Canine as an assistant manager and kennel tech, she has jumped headfirst into the world of grooming. Learning more each day, she strives to hone her grooming skills by practicing on her own dogs (a poodle, two Shih Tzus, and a golden retriever) as well as watching our other skilled groomers and growing under their tutelage. We cannot wait to see her keep advancing in the grooming field!
Jessica – Groomer
Jessica White is my name. I’m originally from Florissant. I have 3 children, Everlin, Caiside and Alexander-my entire world. I have a chihuahua named Zeke, a cat named Pumpkin, and another cat that decided to wander over and adopt us (lol) and we call her Tallulah.
I have been involved with animals since I was 19 years old. First, as a kennel attendant, then went to a Veterinary Technician Institute in St. Louis to learn more information. After about 5 years working in an animal hospital, I found I’m much more passionate when it comes to bathing and grooming dogs.
I bounced around a few different salons over the years, trying to find the right one with the right fit. After moving to Troy for family reasons, I finally found Complete Canine as a great fit for me, and am very grateful to have a job here.
