FAMILY

Owners

► Read Bio

Gretchen and her husband Jason purchased Lucky Paws on January 7, 2014, after cashing out her 401K. It was a big change for Gretchen as she left the Western PA Humane Society after almost 12 years to take the leap into entrepreneurship.

It has been a labor of love ever since. Gretchen is at Lucky Paws in some capacity almost every day. The staff and dogs are her pride and joy, but the Gardens at Lucky Paws are very near and dear to her heart. Jason has a job in the computer/tech industry but is thankfully very handy at fixing things that need repaired, as well as shoveling snow and mowing grass. Be sure to say hi if you see him helping keep the facilities in shape!

Honorary Hotel & Salon “Greeter”

Meet Kip, our unofficial Hotel & Salon greeter! Kip is a frequent visitor, and some of our clients know to look through the window for him to pop up and say hello. Next time you stop by, be sure to give Kip a wave if you see him!

KIRSTEN

Office Manager

When Kirsten decided on a complete (!) career change, Lucky Paws was where she wanted to be. Kirsten enjoys working with such different and unique people and their pets.

“One of the best things about my job is that if I’m having an off day, I can simply walk into the hotel and get all the hugs & kisses I need to feel better,” she says.

Kirsten is an avid reader and if she’s not spending time with her family or friends, she’s usually snuggled up reading a good book.

Kaitlyn has been at Lucky Paws since 2016. “I am lucky enough to have worked in the hotel and daycare so I’ve gotten to meet almost all of the dogs and cats in our care,” she says.

Her favorite part is spending time with the dogs and getting to see the grow from puppies, to adults, to seniors.

Kaitlyn is now working in the office 3 days a week & spends the rest of her days with her little baby, Ellie who was born in June 2022. Kaitlyn has 2 dogs of her own – Jax & Molly.

Jordyn started working part-time in November 2017, and is now our Hotel Manager. Jordyn shares a house with 3 dogs, 2 cats & a bearded dragon.
