Jennifer MacDonald / Founder

At the encouragement of her father before his death and following her own diagnosis of breast cancer, Jennifer opened AJs. She focused on what would be her dream come true. A loving and fun environment for all types of dogs.

Now, four years later, the dream is going strong with the help of a fabulous women- led hard-working team.

Erin Cochrane, Kennel Attendant

Erin is mom to an adorable kitten named Scratches Patinkin. Snuggling and playing fetch is their favourite thing to do.
Erin's passion for animals sparked at an early age and grew very quickly, especially her love of dogs! For Erin, happiness is sitting out in the yard and snuggling and playing with the AJ's pups. She also has multiple years of experience working with animals previous to joining the AJ's team.

Jenny Fequet, Kennel Attendant

My name is Jenny Fequet. I work here at AJ's County Boarding and Daycare. There's nothing better than driving into work and seeing all the happy faces and wagging tails waiting for you to give them a butt scratch, belly rub, or to throw a ball.

I've always had a profound love of animals from a very young age. I grew up with not just dogs and cats as family pets. We had 2 pigs named Fonzy and Pinky, a pigeon named Sam, and a hamster named Thunder. With 3 children of my own I wanted them to experience the joy and unconditional love from animals like I did. So, since we live on farm land we decided to get some chickens, roosters, and ducks. We also have our 2 beautiful parrotfish, our majestic black rabbit Bailey and our handsome furboys Hunter (beagle) and Odie (pitbull). Whether it's camping, car rides or working in the garden Hunter and Odie are right there with us. Like many pet owners we don't see them as "just pets", we see them as our family. OOXX 💞

I love animals, reading and snuggling with my puppy :)
