Our Team

Susan

Susan

Susan has been in the animal industry for over 20 years and brings a diverse background to Petopia. She has been fortunate to work in all different fields of animal care. From vet clinics and boarding facilities all the way to zoos and aquariums, she even owned her own successful pet sitting business for 11 years! Wanting to move to a warmer climate, she fell in love with Kansas City and moved down here from Connecticut. She has 2 dogs, Zeus’s Kausin’ Khaos a.k.a. “Khaos,” and Boot Scootin’ Boogey a.k.a. “Bootsie,” and three kitties, Simba, Nala, and Nubblestillskin a.k.a. “Nubins.”

Heather

Sara

Sara was born in Kansas City, but raised in West Virginia and Indiana. Sara’s family always had lots of pets and animals at home and that is where she developed her love for animals. She had always hoped to work with animals in some way, and found that professional grooming allowed her to be around animals and develop relationships with them and their owners. Sara loves what she does and believes grooming is an essential part of a pet’s well being. She loves the satisfaction of seeing pampered pooches flaunt their new ‘do for their parents!

Danessa

Danessa

Denessa was born in sunny California but moved to Missouri at a young age. Her appreciation for animals stemmed from growing up with chickens and sheep. Denessa originally had plans to become a veterinarian, but she caught the grooming bug! She loves her job and looks forward to grooming the fur babies at The Belmont. Denessa spends her time outside grooming with her sweet daughter, Serenity.

FAQ

Yes. We require that puppies be at least 16 weeks old before coming to the facility. They must have had their rabies and be on their third round of puppy boosters. Cats must be 6 months old and also have their 3 month shots. Other animals may have specific requirments not listed.

We provide the bedding, bowls and entertainment. The only thing the owner is responsible for bringing is the food. We ask that the food be put in individual bags portioned for each meal so there is no confusion with the amount given. Toys and personal belongings are allowed. We are not responsible for any items that are lost or damaged throughout the stay.

Yes. On the weekends we are closed for daycare Drop Offs and Pick Ups, but the boarding dogs still get playtime.

Yes! Species will vary by facility. Call us to inquire about your pet.

Even though we close at 7:00pm, our daycare section of the resort closes at 6:00pm. From 6:00pm - 7:00pm the staff is strictly here to clean the facility and to take care of the pets who are boarding that night. We take them outside to play, feed them dinner, and straighten up their suites for the night time.

No. We believe that each dog is an individual and should be given a fair chance by going through a temperament test. With that being said, we are aware that some dogs may have a style of play that is not always suitable for the daycare environment. Many daycares ban all bully breeds, regardless of individual temperament. We do not feel a ban is necessary but we do take precautions. To be accepted into daycare, bully breeds must show good self-control, not be rude or space invasive to people, and have good knowledge of the following commands; sit, leave it, and come in addition to the regular requirements. Bully breeds tend to become quickly over-stimulated and escalate situations. For this reason, they will be allowed to play for short periods of time followed by rest periods that allow their arousal level to decrease.

We do not. We are open on weekends only for boarding check ins and check outs. The dogs that are boarding get group playtime for the weekends, but the Daycare is closed.

We try to stay on top of any possible illness and take necessary precautions. However, just like with kids at school or daycare, viruses may be passed between pets. If your pet comes down with anything contagious, he/she must stay home until your vet says it’s okay to return.
