Sophie Slokov (Pet Care Assistant) has always loved animals and been fascinated by their inner lives. She has worked in many different fields, but being with animals has always been her biggest passion. Sophie is certified in Dogsafe Canine First Aid and has earned 2 trick dog titles and a canine good neighbour title with her own dogs. When Sophie isn't keeping busy with your special companions at the ranch, she can be found enjoying the outdoors and training her Tazmanian devil that wears a a border collie costume.

Jacob Bristow spent most of his career in hospitality and management within the industry, however his love for animals has always been present.  His first ever job as a kid was walking dogs in his neighbourhood since he wasn’t able to have a pet growing up. After getting dogs of his own he realized not just how much he enjoyed being around them but also training them and joined the Greater Victoria dog training club, where he participated in a variety of different dog training classes. After getting to know Dogworx as a place for his current dog Dax, he made the switch to join our team. Jacob loves being with the animals and is in his element with the pack!

Lesley Wilson has always had a passion for animals and nature. While living in Panama and later in California where she enjoyed a lengthy break from the workforce, Lesley seized the opportunity to switch career paths from her usual administrative & accounting roles. She learned her true passion laid with veterinary surgery while on a two-month internship with Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. Lesley earned her Associate Degree in Veterinary Medicine, became a RVT & specialized in anesthesia and surgical assistance. Always wishing she could be working outside, Lesley’s little piece of daily heaven with Dogworx is the group walk where she is often found taking endless amounts of pictures of all the guests!
