Katie (w/ Tia)

General Manager

Katie has been with Central Bark™ since 2003 and we have enjoyed every moment. Her sense of humor and hard work make her one unforgettable gal! We were thrilled to have Katie join our management team and hoped to get her hooked – of course we did just that. Within months Katie was managing the Central Bark North Side location. Katie’s BA in Mass Communications and Journalism from UW - Milwaukee, management experience and her love for all things furry make her the perfect fit. She is pictured here with her 6 year old Yorkie, Tia, whom she adopted from the Yorkshire Terrier Rescue in Wisconsin with the help of Judi Idling, a customer at the Downtown location. Katie is certified in Pet First Aid and has attended seminars by dog gurus Sue Sternberg and Jean Donaldson. Katie is very proud of the Central Bark North Side and Downtown locations so stop in for a personally guided tour of this facility, but don’t be offended if her dog Tia is a bit aloof, after all she is a Yorkie!!

Nicole (w/ Jule)

Assitant Manager

Nicole can vividly remember as a little girl having laughing fits while her family's rottweilers slimed her face with kisses. Who would have thought that the happiness she experienced during those younger years would grow into a life passion. Her natural love for dogs lead Nicole to Central Bark Doggy Daycare in October of 2006 where she was a part-time dog handler. She began managing the Northside location in 2008 and since then has been challenged to further her knowledge by attending the seminars of Brenda Aloff, the Humane Society's Pet First Aid course as well as managing seminars. Nicole utilizes the education she received at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to implement new marketing procedures and organizational standards. She loves having the opportunity to express her artistic side by photographing the dogs at play and creating picture collages showing parents just how much fun their pups have at daycare. Nicole has a love for dogs that shines through from her soul. We look forward to seeing her grow as a manger and having her with Central Bark for many years to come.
