Pack Leaders
Brianna
Packleader
Hi, I’m Brianna, a Pack Leader at High Rovers! I’m an energetic, enthusiastic animal lover who has always had a huge soft spot for dogs. Honestly, I love animals more than I like most humans!
My background is a little bit of a mix. I spent years working in kitchen management, where I learned the importance of leadership, teamwork, organization, and creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Alongside that, I’ve been a professional dog groomer for the past 10 years, which has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and quirks. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve owned large breed dogs for as long as I can remember.
These days, my own pack consists of Ravioli, Tortellini, and Beefaroni. Yes, I clearly have a thing for food names! They keep me on my toes and remind me every day just how special the bond between people and their dogs can be.
Outside of High Rovers, I’m a mom to my beautiful one year old son, and I’m currently expecting a baby girl in February. When I’m not at work, you’ll usually find me soaking up every minute with my son, my dogs, my sisters, and my dad. Family means everything to me, and I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by the people and animals I love.
I’m someone who loves hard, gives my all to the things I care about, and brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm wherever I go. I’m passionate about making sure every dog in our care feels safe, loved, understood, and, of course, has an absolute blast.
I’m so excited to be part of the High Rovers team and to help build a place where dogs can truly feel like they’re part of the pack. I can’t wait to meet you and your pups! 🐾
Carissa
My name is Carissa, and I’m one of the Co-Pack Leaders here at High Rovers!
I’ve always loved working with dogs, which I think comes from growing up with at least one dog in our home at all times. I also have 3 years of experience working in the veterinary medicine field and am Animal First Aid and CPR certified. I’m passionate about making sure every dog in our care feels safe, loved, and has the best time possible while they’re here with us.
My favorite breed would have to be all of them because, well… DOGS! 🐾
When I’m not at High Rovers, you can usually find me spending time with my husband, daughter, and our two dogs—or behind the camera working on my photography business. I’m so excited to be part of the High Rovers family and can’t wait to get to know all of our furry friends and their families!
Co Packleader
Hi everyone! I’m Abby, one of the Co-Pack Leaders here at High Rovers! 🐶💙
I’ve always had a huge love for dogs, and I’ve been lucky enough to spend several years working with them in daycare, boarding, and other dog-care settings. I’m certified in Pet First Aid, Canine Body Language, and Group Management, and I love continuing to learn more about dogs and what makes each pup unique.
My favorite breed has to be Labrador Retrievers! 🖤 I’ve always had such a soft spot for Labs because of their goofy personalities, love for life, and how much they just want to be involved in everything. Of course, my own black Lab, Lily, might have something to do with that! 😂🐾
When I’m not at High Rovers, you’ll probably find me spending time with my fiancé, Blaine, and our own pups, Lily, my black Lab, and Stanley, my little athletic pug! 🖤🐾 They’re a huge part of my life and definitely keep me busy. We love getting outside, going on adventures, taking the pups for walks, and spending time together as a family.
What I love most about working with dogs is getting to know their individual personalities and watching them become comfortable, confident, and excited to come through our doors. Every dog has their own little quirks, and I love being able to build that trust with them!
I’m so excited to be part of the High Rovers family and can’t wait to meet all of your pups! 💙🐾

Pack Handlers
Andrea
Hi! I’m Andrea! I am one of the pack handlers at high rovers and I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life!
Growing up I was in the kind of household where we had at least one family dog at all times. If you’re checking out high rovers, you’ll probably see me playing tag with your furry friends in the big yard. Playing tag, throwing the ball, all the things! I’m very energetic and I try to be every dogs best friend.
To add onto that, I couldn’t possibly choose one type of dog that could be my favorite! I’ve never met 2 dogs that are the same, I’ve always had big dogs my whole life so I do gravitate towards the larger breeds. I have a big heart for dogs and try to build a connection with every dog I meet, I’ve also yet to have met a dog that doesn’t like me! I’m a firm believer in dogs feeling people’s energy and they know good people! I’m so excited to meet you and your fur baby and I can’t wait to grow our pack at high rovers together!
Packhandler
Emily
Hi, I'm Emily one of the Pack members! I have been working with animals since 2016. I could not imagine my life working without my four legged friends. I have a veterinary background and am certified in Recover training. My goal is to become a dog trainer to help dogs gain confidence and be the best they can be.
It is hard to pick a favorite dog breed. I love anything from a Chinese Crested to a Cane Corso. I currently own a Labrador Retriever Maxi and a Shepard mix Fern, which are my whole world! As well as 3 cuddly cats!
Outside of work you can find me hiking or taking my dogs for a walk. I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things.
My passion for animals has been there since I was a kid, helping out on my Grandfathers farm. I want to be a voice for the misunderstood. If I could work in every bit of the animal field I would!
I am looking forward to meeting and playing with your dogs at High Rovers!

Kiana
Packhandler
Hi everyone! My name is Kiana, and I’m a Pack handler here at High Rovers! I’m currently in college studying Animal Behavior, so working with dogs is something I’m especially passionate about. My favorite dog breed is German Shepherds, and when I’m not at High Rovers or busy with school, you can usually find me enjoying my other passion, horseback riding! I’m a low-level equestrian and love spending my downtime around horses. I’m so excited to get to know all the pups and their families!
