The Paws Team

Louise McCullough & Peter King are father and daughter and have been around dogs their whole lives. The family has always had dogs, and when they moved to the US in 1991, one of the first things the family did was get a dog.

After finding local day care and boarding facilities to be unsatisfactory for Louise’s dog, Maebh, Louise & Peter decided to design and build the ultimate pet boarding experience. They knew it had to be a facility that dog owners felt comfortable leaving their dog for a day, a few nights or even weeks. Louise and Peter wanted to make sure their client’s felt that their dogs would be safe, secure, happy, and well taken care of. It also had to be a facility that could cater to the different needs of dogs. After extensive research, Louise and Peter worked closely with designers and contractors to ensure that Paws Chateau™ was built with the primary focus on the needs of the dogs. No two dogs are alike, and Paws provides a facility that takes that into consideration, catering to the needs of each dog.

LOUISE McCULLOUGH

Louise is a Certified Dog Trainer through the nationally recognized Animal Behavior College (ABCDT). She has been training dogs for many years and volunteers with local rescues training and rehabilitating dogs to find their forever homes. She brings 20 years of Corporate Business Experience from the IT Industry to Paws Chateau. Approximately six years ago she needed to board her dog, Maebh, as she traveled a lot for work. After visiting all the available facilities, she didn’t feel comfortable leaving Maebh at any of them. She started researching the dog boarding industry. She went to educational seminars, conferences, seminars and trainings and decided to build a state of the art facility with all the features and amenities that she would want for Maebh.

PETER KING

Peter has been an Entrepreneur most of his life. He started and built successful businesses in Ireland. Since coming to the US he has successfully worked in sales, customer service and management. He loves the challenge of a startup business and enjoys the ups and downs that come along with it. When Louise told him about the idea she had for a Hotel and Resort for dogs he knew immediately that he wanted to be a part of it. The experience he has in building businesses from the ground up plus the added bonus of working with dogs was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up.

Maebh
My name is Maebh and I was the Director of Activities at Paws Chateau. I am the reason Louise opened Paws Chateau. I crossed the Rainbow Bridge in September 2021 but I loved meeting all the new dogs as they came into Paws Chateau. Click here to see all about my life and how much I loved being a part of the Paws Chateau team.
Caoimhe
Hi, my name is Caoimhe and I have been the Events Coordinator at Paws Chateau since October 2016 & most recently assisting guests as a K9 Concierge. I am also Louise’s sister. I have a Master’s Degree in Special Education and have worked in the field of Autism and other Developmental Delays as a Behaviorist for over 10 years. When I became a mom 6 years ago I was lucky enough to be able to be a stay at home mom. We have a Mini Goldendoodle called Cuddles and we had a Beagle for 10+ years prior to Cuddles that crossed the Rainbow Bridge unexpectedly. I am enjoying working at Paws Chateau, hanging with all the dogs and meeting them when they arrive.
Heather
Hello, my name is Heather Georges and I have been a Day Camp counselor since May 2017. I am currently working on general ED at Golden West College and am hoping to transfer to a university to one day work with animals professionally. I have been around dogs all of my life and I feel like I share a deep connection with animals. I am currently the proud parent of two dogs named Calvin (Poodle/Terrier mix) and Hobbes (Poodle/Shih Tzu mix) who are like brothers to one and other and seem to be joined at the hip. I joined Paws Chateau to get experience working with dogs while I narrow down what career I want to proceed with animals. I’m already canine and feline first aid and CPR certified and planning to get a certification in dog training. I hope when I move out on my own I will be working with animals whether its with dogs or at a zoo while I’m fostering dogs and cats at my home.
Cassidy
Hi my name is Cassidy. I have been a Day Camp Counselor at Paws Chateau since October 2018 and a Level 1 Shift Lead. I love food, my awesome cat Stitch and his awesome sidekick Xena a.k.a my three year old German Shepard. I love skating in my free time and hanging out with friends. I have always been around dogs since I could remember and have felt a special bond with every single one I have encountered. I also feel lucky to have worked with horses as well, connecting with such incredible animals allowed me to get rid of my fears and respect all animals gaining the confidence I need. With time I hope to return back to school and get certified in auto mechanics. Aside from animals I have a HUGE passion for cars and hope to one day own my own Auto shop. Who says a girl can’t fix cars?
Jennifer
My name is Jennifer and I’ve been a K9 concierge at Paws Chateau since October 2019. I got hired a day before my birthday and I don’t think I’ve received a greater blessing from the Universe than that. I get to work at the job of my dreams where I get to learn, play, and interact with dogs and their humans. There is not one dog that is the same; they are all uniquely special in their own way. I wake up excited to learn something new every day from Louise, Peter, and my coworkers. Their passion inspires me to want to do more and be the best version of myself to help others. As a kid, I’ve always been obsessed with dogs thanks to my dad. I have fostered many strays growing up. I’ve also had many different companions including mice, hamsters, fish, a hedgehog named Pheebs, and my best friend Chocolate Chip who is no longer here with us. He is the reason why I dedicate my life to helping animals. I connect with him and every dog and animal that I meet. Loving him have taught me to extend my compassion to all animals. I am also an animal rights activist for animals and using my voice to amplify theirs. I believe that all life and all beings are sacred and deserve to live a life happy and free from suffering. All animals are worthy and have the desire to live and to be love, just like us. I love using my energy to volunteer at Kindred Spirit Farm, doing yoga, cooking vegan meals, stargazing at Joshua Tree, and attending pig vigils weekly to give water to the pigs before they enter slaughterhouses. I hope to one day open up my own dog shelter or a farm sanctuary that rescues animals, and also teach yoga to low income communities. My goal is to help people connect with each other and help heal people, animals, and our beautiful Mother Earth.
The Paws Team Cece
Hi, my name is Cece, and I have been working at Paws Chateau since June 2021. I have been working in animal care for about 6 years now. I find it super fulfilling and fun working with animals. Currently I have 4 dogs, Daisy a pit bull, Kahlua a pit bull/German shepherd mix, and Hero and Princess my two chihuahua mixes. Each of my dogs except Daisy were supposed to be fosters only but became foster fails, but I am not complaining at all I love them so much. I also have two cats that are part of my family. I’ve always been drawn to animals since I was a kid, my mom helped me start volunteering with animals when I was 13. I hope one day to open my own nonprofit rescue so I can be able to give back to animals in need. I really enjoy working at Paws. I have worked at lots of daycares, and this has been my favorite one so far. I have built so many friendships within the company and I have made so many bonds with the dogs and their parents. Dogs are so innocent and loving no matter what the circumstances and I am so thankful to be able to work at such an amazing place like Paws Chateau.

The Paws Team Leighanna

Hi, my name is Leighanna and i have been working at Paws since July 2021. I am currently a high school student at Ocean View High School that has a love for animals. I am hoping to go straight to a 4-year university out of high school and proceed the love I have for dance and animals. I have grown up around animals and have been fortunate to experience the adventures that 4 border collies in one house can bring. I love being able to grow a connection with all the dogs that come in, whether is for boarding or day camp. I truly enjoy the unconditional joy that a dog can bring.

The Paws Team Lisa[/one-third-first]

My name is Lisa and I have owned dogs all my life. I work in special education wage gave me the opportunity to work with therapy dogs as well as service dogs which opened my eyes to the healing power of dogs. I have always enjoyed learning and training and being around dogs for as long as I can remember. So, when I got the opportunity to work at Paws I could not wait and was so excited. I am the owner of a service dog as well and can’t explain the healing power and the help that she brings me. There is so much I can say about working with dogs and the benefits but simply put dogs just make everything better. And I feel blessed to be able to be around them as well as on them.
The Paws Team Dara
Hello! My name is Dara Evans and I started working for Paws Chateau January 2022. I have two dogs at home, Sadie, and Eleanor. I have always loved dogs and Paws has given me the chance to gain experience with all sorts. My favorite thing about dogs is how excitable and friendly they are! Nothing like coming into work and being greeted by happy, furry faces. I just earned my bachelor’s in political science/History and I am hoping to pursue a law degree in environmental justice.
The Paws Team Bradley
My name is Brad, and I am a Camp Counselor. I recently moved to California from Oklahoma, so I spend a lot of my time enjoying the beautiful weather and geography of this region. My own dog (Rosco/Bubby J/ Rosco Bubby J) passed in February 2022. He was my constant companion and we had been through a lot together. His passing was very difficult for me. Soon after, I got the opportunity to work at Paws Chateau and it has been a blessing that has made the passing of Rosco much easier. I have a newfound respect and love for dogs that only working at a wonderful place like Paws Chateau can give you. It is a privilege to do my best to provide a safe environment for your dogs, while allowing them the space to have fun and get their exercise!
