Meet Our Staff
Sue with her dachshund, Neena

Sue currently lives with 3 dachshunds and one mischievous Australian Shepherd. In her spare time she loves to relax and spend time with her dogs and her beloved chickens. These are 12 hens and a rooster named Doug. Sue’s true pride and joy is her son Dave who is a college student in San Francisco.
Katherine with her boxer, Roxy
Katherine came by her love of dogs honestly. Being the niece of Sue Hagan, Katherine grew up around dogs, spending her childhood at dog shows & training classes. She spent many hours among the puppies that Sue bred. While in high school Katherine worked in several boarding kennels bathing dogs and learning the ropes of kennel life. She officially came to work at Dublin Creek in 2001 where she excelled. She left in 2004 to pursue her career as a project engineer. She soon realized her true calling was working with animals and their people. In March, 2010 she became Sue’s business partner, thus fulfilling her dream.
Katherine has been married to her husband Billy for 4 years and they are the proud parents of a beautiful little boy, Hunter. They have two wonderful pets that they adopted and love dearly. A 3 year old boxer, Roxy and a 13 year old cat named Lucy.
Janelle with her dogs Pepper & Molly
Janelle has worked for Dublin Creek for over 2 years now but came to us with several years of kennel experience. She is the proud owner of two dogs, Pepper an Australian Cattle Dog mix and Molly a Pomeranian. Pepper was her first dog and he came with lots of behavioral issues. It took a lot of dedication and hard work but Pepper is now a loyal and loving pet. Molly was adopted from one of our customers and has been a wonderful
addition to Janelle and Peppers home. Janelle has a tremendous love of dogs and reads every book and article about dogs she can get her hands on. She is also a certified Pet Care Technician. Janelle’s goal is to one day own a kennel of her own; we believe she can do it.

We would like to give a special thanks to our general contractor John Cummings, owner of JC Builders. Our beautiful remodel is all that we'd hoped it would be thanks to him.
