TAKE A LOOK BELOW
ELLA
Ella has proudly owned Ajax Pet Care since it opened over 35 years ago! She takes an enormous amount of pride in the facility and staff. Each staff member is handpicked for their patience, love and compassion of animals.
Her two legged family consists of her three children and her EXTREMELY patient husband who is often surprised at the end of the day when he comes home to a new pet that is
“just staying the weekend”. Once owning five rescue dogs at one time (yikes), her family is now down to their two rescues Pearl and Charlotte and their newest rescue “Carry On”.
Having said that there is always a freeloader hanging around until they are placed in their forever home. So while most tend to leave their work behind at the office, occasionally she takes hers home, much to the delight of her family.
Ella has been “semi retired” since 2022 BUT will never really retire from APC. Her passion and love for the dogs, staff, and clients remain as strong as when she first opened the Pet Care Centre 35 years ago. You can always find Ella “helping” the younger staff at work, but more often, she’s tending the gardens, decorating, or doing paperwork.
CORINNE
Corinne is our dynamic receptionist who also doubles as kennel staff. Corinne is one of a kind to work with and will always be ontop of everything going on around her. She can multitask like you have never seen (great trait to have here) and always does so with a smile on her face. Corinne has the most contagious giggle you have ever heard in your life! She is very diligent making sure the dogs are well cared for and has an extremely compassionate nature. She has worked with us since 2005 and is extremely dedicated to the dogs and her job. When not at work you can find Corinne hanging out with her favourite guys “The Cow” aka “Cowboy” and Chance both rescues from APC. She thinks the sun rises and sets on her dogs so who are we to tell her different.
LYNSAY
Hello! My name is Lynsay and I am a supervisor at APC and have worked with your furbabies for 5 years. Pictured above I am with my daughters Tessa (left) and Toe (right), who you will often see playing with their friends at work! Outside of work you can find me spoiling my girls, going on hikes, trips to the beach and camping.
Daveena
Daveena has been working at Ajax Pet Care since 2003. She started as a high school coop student and has literally grown up with us. Daveena is our manager and is very passionate about her work with the dogs. At home she kept busy with her 5 (yes 5) dogs Nassau, Nitro, Nova, Liberty and newest addition Renegade. Speaking of new additions Daveena and her husband William along with their 2 beautiful little girls Peyton and Mackenzie will be welcoming a new two legged addition in November/2024.
Veronica
Hello! My name is Veronica and I have been working at APC since August 2021 (how time flies)! As a crazy dog lover, I immediately fell in love with working at APC and I am so appreciative to meet so many puppy pals! I adopted my first dog (Rex) through APC and have never looked back! Rex is my right hand man at work and loves to play and go on hikes!
Outside of work I have finished my Communications Degree and excited to have my schooling further assist my passion for animals! My favourite part of work is seeing all of the different dog personalities and of course play time!
Nayleah
Nayleah has worked at APC for almost a year. She has recently graduated high school and in September will move onto Guelph University to further her studies in animal sciences, with hopes of becoming a veterinarian! In her free time you’ll find her with her dog Chewie! We love Nayleah’ passion for the dogs and how she gives them loads of loving care!
Hannah
Hannah has worked at Ajax Pet Care for almost a year and has recently graduated high school. Her future plans are to complete the Animal Care course at Durham College to become a veterinarian assistant! At home you can find her with her two sweet bunnies Denver and Oakleigh, along with her two boys, Maverick a King Shepherd & Myles, a Labrador retriever. Other hobbies include being out in nature, and working on her small business. Hannah says “Working at APC and seeing all my furry friends brings me so much joy, and I love that I get to provide the best care for them and love them like my own.” We love Hannah’s passion for her job!
Hanan
Hello! My name is Hanan and I am currently studying global politics, but animals, especially dogs, have always taken up a large and special place in my heart. I’ve been working at APC for a little under a year and have loved every second of it! I lost my very best friend, Caesar a year ago (pictured above in our matching pjs), but having the opportunity to care for and share my heart with all the pups that come in has made working at APC the most fulfilling job.
Courtney
Hi my name is Courtney and I just started at APC in May of 2024!1 currently have 5 cats of my own at home so I LOVE coming to work and getting to spend time with dogs everyday!
Animals have always been a passion of mine since I was young. I started out in University and finished with two degrees in Forensic Psychology and Criminology but felt I had not found the path that was best for me. Last year I went back to College and took Animal Care, which led me to this amazing job! When you love your job as much as I do, it doesn’t feel like work and that’s how I feel everyday at APC. I love being at APC and I’m so grateful to be able to enjoy my job and to make connections with people and dogs.
Mikaila
Hello! My name is Mikaila and I have recently rejoined the team at APC after previously working with your pups for 3 years! Coming to work always puts a smile on my face to see all the happy dogs having fun. While I decide on my future career path I wanted to come back to the place I love! While I’m not at work I spend my time with my crazy dogs, Piper, Penny and Daisy (left to right) going on adventures with them whenever I can.
Taylor
Taylor has been a part of our team on and off since 2014. What began as a summer job soon became a lifelong passion for working with dogs. Although she has taken breaks to explore other dog-related careers and to start her own family, she always finds herself returning to Ajax Pet Care, which she says feels like home. On her days off, Taylor enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter and her two dogs, Luna and Estella.
