MEET THE TEAM!
Staci Molzahn
Staci is a native Seattleite, having grown up in the Broadview/Carkeek neighborhood. She spent her youth on her grandparents Carkeek area farm helping care for the livestock, which likely led to her love and commitment to animals. Her father started one of the earliest dog bath and daycare centers in the Pacific Northwest over 20 years ago and she has been planning on her own ever since then.
John Schmidt
John grew up in Friday Harbor and has been a local business owner in Seattle for nearly 30 years, where he lives with her three awesome kids. He has always had a passion for hospitality and successfully operated several restaurants and catering businesses with Staci and Brendon for over two decades. Combining this passion with his love of animals and especially dogs is a natural fit for
him and for Pups-A-Daisy.
Brendon Cook
Brendon has been working with John and Staci for over 15 years and is the backbone to our operations! He has a background working with pets and pet retail and is eager to get back to those roots with Pups-A-Daisy. You'll see Brendon everywhere from wrangling our pups to re-painting the building and weeding the flower pots...there isn't anything he doesn't do and he always has a positive attitude with all of it!
Elizabeth Jones
Liz has been with us since we opened! She quickly settled right in and became a favorite of all our pups. You will find Liz in all areas of our facility from organizing enrichment activities, to staging photo shoots and even lounging with pups during nap time.
tom hughes
Tom is our in-house "DOG WHISPERER"! He is our enrichment and behavior specialist - meaning he is the one making sure we send your pups home better than they came to us.
Dave Williams
Dave is our lead groomer/large breed expert and has been a friend of Staci & John's for over 20 years. We are beyond grateful that he joined our team. His love of dogs is one of his many enduring qualities that is apparent in all his grooms.
kenzie will
Kenzie is our designated DOODLE groomer! She brings a level of patience and love that is necessary for all of Seattle's diverse varieties of doodles...but she doesn't stop there and has a skillset for all breeds beyond as well.
Lynn Neal
When Lynn isn't busy with her 1 year old twins, she is doting on her pup, Chuck along with her kitty, Sassy. Lynn has been with our team for 6 years and is a wizard with our accounting and IT setup. But her talents don't stop behind the scenes - she originally studied biology veterinary medicine before switching gears to the business end of it. She has worked in veterinary clinics and PAWS and brings a wealth of
knowledge to our team.
