I‘m Sophie, and I’ve been part of the Central Bark New Berlin team for almost four years! Starting as a dog handler in 2021, I’ve recently advanced to the role of Assistant Manager. During my time here, I also earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. At Central Bark, I’m fortunate to combine my passion for animals with my interest in client relations. What I love most about working here is the constant opportunity to learn—whether it’s discovering the unique personalities of the pups, enhancing my client service skills, or finding better ways to care for the dogs. I’ve been a dog lover my whole life and have three of my own at home. In my free time, I’m spending time with them or with family and friends!

Hey! This is Cassie! I love working with animals. I have been grooming dogs for 7 years and cats for 5 years. I love grooming because it gives me the chance to be creative while hanging out with a pet. It usually doesn’t seem like work! I love working on a wide variety of clients including poodles, wired-haired terriers and goofy pugs. I have a level of patience to learn why a dog might not like something and help them work through it.
