Katie

Daycare

Hi, I’m Katie—and working with dogs is truly where my heart is. Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I relocated to Colorado in 2018 and quickly found myself immersed in the vibrant pet care community here.
My journey with animals began long before this role, through years of volunteering at humane societies and rescue organizations.
At Under the Sun, I split my time between working with the dogs and helping out at the front desk. With hands-on experience in dog behavior, group play, and daily care routines, I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pup that walks through our doors. I find so much joy in forming meaningful connections with each dog in my care.
To me, this isn’t just a job—it’s a passion. I feel incredibly lucky to be doing what I love and to be part of the Under the Sun team!

Hiya! I’m Lori and I am originally from Tampa, Florida but moved to the Springs in 2011. I have spent most of my life around dogs and have worked in Veterinary medicine, with many major medical rescues, and even did a pre-Covid gig with Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I have my own small business in addition to my time with UTS. In my spare time, I am out walking with my husband John and our dogs Paisley and Bee, cooking, trying new breweries, traveling the world, and finding any and all sporting events and concerts. I’m so glad to meet and play with all the dogs at UTS and the people who love them!

Cameron

Daycare

Hi! My name is Cameron, and I was born with a true passion for dogs. As a third-generation dog enthusiast, loving and working with dogs has always been a natural part of my life.

At home, I share life with our Old English Sheepdogs, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, a Border Collie, and a PBGV. I’m actively involved in AKC dog sports, including conformation, agility, and obedience, and I love the teamwork and connection that training and competing builds. When I’m not at school or at work, you’ll usually find me hiking and spending time outdoors with my dogs.

Thank you for trusting me with your dogs at Under the Sun. I promise to care for and love them as if they were my own.

Chelsea

Daycare

Hi, my name is Chelsea! With many years of experience in the veterinary field, my passion for dogs has been the heart of my career. Working closely in animal healthcare gave me a deep understanding of canine health, behavior, and the importance of compassionate, attentive care. I’ve had the privilege of supporting dogs through every stage of life, always treating them as if they were my own.

Now, bringing that knowledge and dedication into doggy daycare, I focus on creating a safe, enriching, and loving environment where dogs can thrive. My background in veterinary care allows me to ensure not only their happiness, but also their health and well-being. Caring for dogs isn’t just my profession — it’s truly my purpose.
