Our Admin Team
Casey
Manager
Born and raised in Texas, Casey found her love for animals started off at an early age. As a little girl, she brought home many strays whom she fed and then rehomed. After high school, Casey moved to Pflugerville where she worked two jobs, one as a kennel tech and the other as a manager of a humane society. Years later she was blessed with a daughter Rayleigh, who also shares the same love for animals as her mother. Casey came to The Dog Spot in July of 2019 and is now our general manager. When she is not giving her all to her job, she enjoys spending time with her daughter Rayleigh, dog Saus, cat Chloe and bearded dragon Brando “The bearded Mando”.
