The Owners
Allow us to introduce ourselves as the owners of Dog's Life Country Kennel.
Hello, I am Rob. I came from Kentucky over 20 years ago. I graduated from RCTC. In my free time, I love to work on cars and coach Crossfit. I have always dreamed of owning a business with my family.
I'm Anastasia, and I've always dreamed of working with animals. I was adopted from Russia, raised in Anoka, and graduated from Viterbo. I enjoy doing social media and making this place feel like home for your pets.
I'm Ethan, the oldest brother. These days, I enjoy helping my dad rebuild cars, riding my bike, and playing football. I am very task-oriented, so you will see me doing chores around the kennel, which include cleaning up poop, cleaning kennels, and doing yard work.
Hi, I am Eli. I am the youngest brother. I love to eat candy, ride my bike with my brother, and give the dogs all the treats. Please let me know if they can’t have treats. I love to walk dogs, but at my age, the small ones are my favorite.
