Chelsea
Kennel Manager & Groomer
Hello! My name is Chelsea Jenkins, and I am a dedicated dog groomer with a passion for both my work and my family. At 33 years old, I am a proud mother of three wonderful children who keep me on my toes and inspire me every day. Balancing my professional career with my family life has taught me the importance of time management and the value of nurturing relationships.
As a dog groomer, I have spent time honing my skills in pet care, and I take great pride in providing great grooming services to my furry friends. I believe that grooming goes beyond just aesthetics; it is a vital aspect of a dog’s overall well-being. My approach revolves around ensuring that every dog feels comfortable, loved and cared for during their grooming experience. I strive to create a welcoming environment for both pets and their owners, which has helped me build lasting relationships within my community.
When I am not tending to my four-legged clients, you can find me enjoying the great outdoors. I have a deep appreciation for nature and often spend my weekends fishing or hanging with my family. These activities not only allow me to unwind but also provide a wonderful opportunity for bonding with my kids and making lasting memories. I firmly believe that spending time in nature is essential for our well-being, and I try to instill this value in my children as well.
Additionally, I cherish the moments I share with my friends and family. Whether it’s a casual gathering at home or a fun day out exploring new places, these interactions enrich my life and help me maintain a healthy work-life balance. I recognize that nurturing personal relationships is just as important as committing to my professional growth.
In summary, I am a passionate dog groomer dedicated to providing exceptional care for pets, a loving mother focused on creating joyful experiences for my children, and an enthusiastic outdoor adventurer who values the beauty of nature and the warmth of friendships. I look forward to the future, where I can continue to grow both personally and professionally while making a positive impact in the lives of pets and their families.

Hello! I’m Elizabeth.
I’ve had a strong love for all animals since I was little. Caring for my own family dogs and always offering a helping hand with others animals where I could.
I’ve been working in the dog industry since 2021 when I received my Veterinary assistant certificate. Nowadays you’ll find me at my local Sheriffs office dispatching law enforcement and taking 911 calls as well as playing with your precious babies on my days off.
I have three dogs of my own Hudson, Benson and Stetson who no doubt keep me on my toes day in and day out. When i’m not running around snapping pictures and playing with your precious babies you can find me taking my pups dock diving, playing at the lake or running around at the park.

Hello! My name is Maxx Leishman.
I’m currently enrolled at Thomson High School and working part-time at this amazing facility! Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Whether it’s playing, keeping them safe, or just cuddling up with a fun furry friend.
I’ve been training dogs since I was 8 years old, working with my father who is a dealer for DogWatch Hidden Fences. That experience really deepened my love for dogs, and I truly enjoy caring for every pet that comes through here!

Madison
Van Driver & Kennel Tech
Hi! My name is Madison Avinger.
I have been around animals, especially dogs and horses, my entire life. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and from a young age I knew I wanted to build a career centered around them.
Growing up, I gained experience caring for a variety of animals, but dogs have always held a special place in my heart. Over the years, I have worked with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, which has helped me develop a strong understanding of their individual needs and behaviors. I believe every dog deserves patience, compassion, and personalized care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy.
In addition to my experience with dogs, I spent many years around horses and enjoyed barrel racing and trail riding. Those experiences taught me responsibility, confidence, and the importance of building trust with animals.
When I’m not working with animals, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Especially my little shadow, Ella Mae, my miniature Dachshund. She reminds me every day why I love what I do and why providing exceptional care for pets is so important to me.
I am dedicated to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while treating every pet as if they were my own. Being able to spend my days working with animals is incredibly rewarding, and I’m proud to be part of Kloud K9!

Deanna
Kennel Tech
Hi! I’m Deanna!
I am a Kennel Technician with a lifelong passion for animals and their well-being. Currently, I am pursuing a college education with the goal of becoming a veterinarian.
I also proudly serve in the Army National Guard, where I have developed strong values of discipline, responsibility, and commitment. When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time outdoors, making memories with my family, reading and spending time with my pets.
My love for animals is reflected in the bond I share with my two dogs, Apollo and Banjo. I love spending my free time playing with them, relaxing with them, and, of course, spoiling them whenever I can. They have helped shape my understanding of the care, patience, and compassion that every dog deserves.
My goal is to ensure every owner knows their pets are cared for. I strive to ensure these pets are kept in a comfortable, safe and clean environment. I enjoy interacting with the dogs and observing the fun they all have playing in the yards.
My passion for animals, learning, and service motivates me every day, and I am committed to making a positive environment for these pets and their owners at Kloud K9.

Hi, my name is Emma Davis!
I have loved and been around animals since I was little.
While I do not have any dogs, I have a cat named Aztec and a horse named Rey I have been riding horses for about 6 years, and I have owned a horse for 4 of those years. I have done both dressage and some hunter, and am hoping to do more as I advance.

Lindsey
Virtual Assistant
Hi! My name is Lindsey.
​
You may not see me around. And to put it simply...I live in Illinois! I am the lady behind some of the videos, graphics and fun posts you see from time and time.
​
In my day-to-day, I work full-time as a Police Officer, part-time at a local dog kennel (how I got connected with Kloud K9!) and freelancer in social media management. I'm also a certified dog and cat lady, mother to a rowdy toddler and wife to a car guy.
​
My background is mostly in horses, and spent over 4 years training and starting reining and ranch horses. Over the last year, have gotten into dogs and am absolutely hooked! I have 4 dogs of my own; two dachshunds, a German Shepherd/Husky/Great Pyrenees shelter mutt, and a purebred working line German Shepherd, Thorin (pictured). I do protection sports with Thorin and am obsessed! I also am dabbling in speed sports with my shelter dog and find he absolutely loves it!
​
In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, spending time outside with my dogs and family, and going to my protection sports club.
​
I hope you all enjoy Kloud K9's content and the experience at the kennel. I really enjoy watching your dogs get the best care and have so much fun; the joy is evident...even through photos!
