OUR STAFF

Dog Ranch Bed & Biscuit started as a family run company.  When Stephanie first started the business and needed help, her parents came to the rescue.  Her mother answered the phones and helped with client relations and her father set up and helped with the accounting.  Stephanie has always treated this as a family business and every employee is considered part of the “family”.

Stephanie - Owner

Stephanie has lived in Laguna Beach since the age of 5. Animals have always been part of her life but it wasn’t until after graduating from Chapman University with a degree in Accounting and working in the accounting field that she decided to dedicate her life to dogs. Stephanie felt so guilty about leaving her first dog at home while she went to work that she made the decision to leave her job and start a new career in pet sitting.


After having a pet sitting business for 8 years she decided that the dogs would be better served having their own private outdoor dog park at which to play, and so Dog Ranch Bed & Biscuit was born in January 2001. Not only was Dog Ranch the first dog facility in the United States to install synthetic turf in the play yards it was also the first to feature a live camera so that clients could

see their dogs playing in real time. 

 

She is also very active in the community and strongly supports surrounding animal welfare groups, contributes to local charities, fundraisers events and educates the public on natural remedies and holistic diets. Her passion for her work has made Dog Ranch Bed & Biscuit the successful and thriving business it is today.

Vicky - Manager

Vicky joined the Dog Ranch family in 2008. She was promoted to manager in 2016. In addition to being skilled groomer and training new employees in the intricacies of working with dogs, she handles the office side of running the business.  She enjoys the art of grooming dogs.  It makes her happy to give them that perfect haircut and make them look their best.

She is a single mother who enjoys dancing and outdoor activities like hiking and biking with her son, boyfriend and his daughter.  Her dog, Chikilla, is a rescued pup and she enjoys playing with all the dogs here. 

Her best friend is Rufus and size doesn’t matter to her because she is only a little larger than his head!!  Vicky also rescued a cat, Sophia, from the streets in her neighborhood.

Jose

Jose joined the Dog Ranch family in 2016.  He has always had a passion for dogs and his family currently has four dogs.   He enjoys everything about working here which is evident by his never ending smile and the whistling that can be heard as he works.  His passion and joy for the dogs ensures that any dog in his care is getting wonderful care and attention.
