Maddie - Owner, General Manager

Hi! My name is Maddie. 

I grew up in New Prague, MN. I moved to Mankato to attend college and started working part-time at The Paw, which then turned into full-time and I worked there for just shy of 6 years. I took an interest in the Veterinary side of animal care in 2020, when I started going to school for my Vet Tech degree. I started working as a Vet Tech at the Waseca Vet Clinic the summer of 2021. I had always dreamed of running my own facility some day, so when the opportunity presented itself, we jumped right in!! 

My fiancé, Tristan, and I live on 5 acres outside of town with a small hobby farm. We have four dogs: Jasper, Benson, Harper (golden retrievers) & Athena (heeler mix), 10 cats (3 indoor, 7 outdoor), 6 goats, 6 ducks & 52 chickens. 

Hello! My name is Amanda.

I grew up and graduated High School right here in Waseca, MN. Since my childhood, I knew I wanted a career working with animals. When the opportunity to spend my days with your pups came up, I jumped at the chance to be a part of something I am passionate about. Like Mark Twain said, “find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” 

My husband, Corie, and I currently live in Waseca with our two children, Carson and Brynlee. We have two dogs: Nitro (husky) and Tonks (pitbull mix), two cats: Yuki and Tanji, and a ball python!
