Rachel Haskill
Facility Manager - HR

I became an employee here at Wags and Wiggles back in November of 2013. I have always had a passion for animals and had worked with them in the past, so naturally, I was very excited to be a part of the team! I currently own a 3-year-old Pitbull named Penny Lane and a 3-year-old Shepherd Mix named Lennon that I love and adore. While I have a love for any breed, I hold a special place in my heart for all bully breeds.

I started as a daycare attendant and, from there moved into the kitchen. Shortly after that, I began working in the front office and became one of the facility managers. After being part of the management team, I was given the opportunity to learn more about human resources and business management. I now ensure the well-being of all members of the Wags & Wiggles team. I also facilitate any employee onboarding and scheduling for our RSM location. I am very fortunate to work with such a wonderful group of people, and dogs of course, and to have a job that I love!

Delaney James
Marketing & Management Team

I’ve been part of the Wags & Wiggles family since 2016! I started as seasonal help and officially joined the permanent team in 2019. My love for dogs began long before that. I grew up with three Golden Retrievers and a German Shepherd, so it’s safe to say dogs have always been a huge part of my life.

Working at Wags has deepened my love for dogs even more. I’ve learned so much about canine behavior, care, and communication, and it’s been amazing to grow alongside these incredible animals. Around daycare, I’m affectionately known as the “Golden Retriever Girl” as the breed will always have a special place in my heart!

I began my Wags journey on the Bigs daycare floor, and over the years, I’ve had a hand in just about everything, from daycare to the kitchen to the office, and now, marketing!

At home, I have three amazing pups of my own: Gemma (German Shepherd), Gordon (English Cream Retriever), and Guava (Doberman mix). They all love coming to Wags (and keeping their mom on her toes)!

I started at Wags and Wiggles in 2014 right out of high school and it was a great decision for me! I started on the daycare floor, then moved to the kitchen, then the office. For the first few years, I rotated between the three and enjoyed the task changes. The last few years I have mainly been in the office as part of the management team and have greatly enjoyed that.
I have always loved all animals, especially dogs, and love that I’m able to come to work and be around them all day. I have an amazing German Shepherd/Pit Mix named Marlee that gets to come to work with me! I also have a beautiful Greenwing Macaw named Meru that I enjoy training and free-flying. Wags and Wiggles has been a huge part of my life and I’m glad to say that I am part of the team!

I joined Wags and Wiggles in February of 2021. I always loved all animals, so when I found this job I was super excited that I'd be surrounded by dogs every day! I started on the daycare floor, then I slowly started to work in the kitchen and then the office. Shortly after, I got promoted to become one of the managers in September 2021.

I love working at Wags and Wiggles because of the awesome dogs and the people. I love being around the dogs and building strong connections with them, and I'm even more excited to keep making new ones!

Manager

I began working at Wags and Wiggles in August 2021 as a daycare attendant and office staff. Over time, I expanded my skills by learning various roles, including working in the kitchen, and eventually joined the Management Team.
My passion for animals, particularly dogs, drives me every day. I love interacting with dogs of all breeds and personalities, and I’m grateful to work alongside coworkers who share this same passion. While I don’t have a dog of my own yet, I find joy in helping care for all the wonderful dogs that come to us.

Marti Cohen
Manager

I became an employee here at Wags and Wiggles in late June/early July of 2022. I love working with animals, and it brings me so much joy with every opportunity I have to interact with them. In the past, I worked at a horse stable just helping out while some members of my family competed. I currently have a 5-year-old English Bulldog named Bella, and she is such a character! She is an absolute goofball and loves every dog and person she meets. I love all animals, but any breed with a smushed face has my heart.

I started on the play floor as a daycare attendant and in the office. I soon moved my way to the kitchen and helped with baths and add-ons. As the months progressed, I was promoted to be a Store Manager. I love meeting all of the new dogs and making new connections with the new ones that come in, too!
