Katie Assistant Manager

Hello, my name is Katie Pattinson! I have been an employee of Camp Bow Wow for 4 years. I was very grateful to become Assistant Manager in October 2020; I love working the front desk, greeting clients with a friendly smile, and letting them know we love their fur babies as much as they do! I love being a small part in the pups’ stay here at Camp. My other job is with the Fort Mill School District, I have a husband of 26 years, 4 children, 2 grandbabies and 2 dogs.

Zach Assistant Manager

Though I have only been with the company for a short time, the people and the dogs that I have met are absolutely amazing. I have always grown up around dogs and currently have a one year old dachshund named Pancake, who attends Camp regularly. I love working with and getting to know the pups as well as watch their individual personalities shine when they come to Camp!

Alyssa Groomer

"I have always had a love for animals, specifically dogs. I grew up around dogs and began working with them at the age of 15. After graduating from High School, I decided to pursue a career in dog grooming and began dog grooming school. While continuing to learn, my love for dogs has grown more than I could have imagined. The idea of working with them for a living is truly amazing and I always strive to take care of every dog as if they are my own."
