About

Catherine Crews

Hi, I’m Catherine Crews and I graduated from the University of Arkansas with BA in History and in Art with a minor in Biology. I have lived in Chicago for over 10 years and I bring a passion for animals along with the knowledge of running a small business. In my former life, I worked over 12 years in the metal industry. The last 10 years were with a company under 15 employees; building the work ethic and patience required in working with dogs – Oh, and people.

Growing up, I was that kid who brought every animal home to save. I had dogs, fish, cats, birds, snakes and a white mouse I unsuccessfully tried to hide from my mother. In college, while on a trip to Eureka Springs, Arkansas, I fell head over heels for a little fluff-ball that was the runt of a litter. I adopted my dog, Barney, from the local humane society that day. It was possibly the most transient point of my life, but we somehow survived my college years (thanks to a lot of dog-sitting from my parents). Barney came with me to St. Louis and then to Chicago where he lived to be almost 16 years old! He would have loved to come to Canine Crews but I lost him in February 2009!

I have over 6 years of shelter and rescue experience and I now dedicate time and some of our space to ALIVE Rescue. I am Pet First Aid/CPR certified through the American Red Cross and a member of the PCSA (Pet Care Services Association). I have the best employees and I am here every day. Call or email to set up a tour – I promise you will love the space and the staff!

Staff

Canine Crews has the best employees with all types of experience.

Katie

Hello! My name is Katie. I love dogs, all animals in fact and my household can definitely attest to that. With two dogs, a cat and a rabbit; I love to do my best to make the little guys happy. It’s something I’m passionate about it. Now that I’m at Canine Crews I can extend that passion to your favorite little guys! In my spare time I love to draw, paint and participate in all things artistic. My husband and I have lived in Humboldt Park going on five years now and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else, especially now with Canine Crews right around the corner. I can’t wait to see you and the happy smile on your pup’s face while running around the Bark Park!

Anthony

Hi! My name is Anthony Ramos but all my friends call me T.J. I grew up with animals and dogs have always been my favorite – they must know it because they are drawn to my calm style. I never miss an opportunity to roll around with the dogs and I get to do it all day at Canine Crews! Now my days consist of leading your wonderful dogs during the day, playing video games, and participating in semi-professional baseball. Who knows, maybe you’ll see me at the park one day? Bark Park or the ballpark!

Jessica

Hi, I’m Jessica. I have loved and lived with dogs most of my life; so much so, that I hope to become a certified dog trainer. I am enrolled at Animal Behavior College and I use all my skills to ensure a safe and fun playgroup here at Canine Crews. I have worked in doggie daycare before but the space at Canine Crews is HUGE – the dogs just love it! A Chicago native, I majored in psychology.
