Anna was born with a passion for all creatures and always knew that one day she would pursue a career working with animals.

 

Born and raised in the Ukraine, Anna is fluent in both Ukrainian and Russian, and one would believe that from her love of cats, she is also fluent in 'Meows'. It is not only because of her certification in Animal Care, but also because of her natural born instincts, her curiosity regarding animal mannerisms, her compassion for all creatures, and her quick, firm and gentle handling of all animals big and small, that we here at Booboo's have deemed Anna to be our Cat Whisperer.

Born and raised in Toronto  Maryann, she has a natural connection with the city and its furry residents.

 

Being an amazing stepmom to three boys and a pet parent to Mordecai, makes her a natural fit at Boo Boos as  receptionist and appointment maker. 

​

If you call or visit BooBoos she will be there to welcome you to the family.

Candace decided to combine her love of art and animals to become a dog groomer in 2019. She sometimes jokingly tells people that she was raised by wolves because she grew up alongside five very large dogs. 

 

As a graduate of Sheridan College's illustration program, she is also driven to design and improve the world around her. Dog grooming is the perfect outlet for her bubbly, goofy energy, and also allows her to exercise her creativity and passion for pets. She believes that dog grooming is multifaceted and should always take into account not only the appearance of the client, but its physical health and mental wellbeing, too. For this reason, BooBoo's was the perfect match for her, with its team of experienced groomers and the low stress, one-on-one environment. 

 

Candace strives to deliver high quality work while providing individualized care that suits each dog's health and aesthetic needs. Highly curious, she loves to learn and is excited to share her knowledge with everyone.

Working with animals has always been a passion of Sophia’s. Her calm demeanor, patience, attention to details and creativity allows her to ensure every dog has a relaxing and enjoyable time while also delivering a perfectly tailored haircut.

 

Sophia has extensive knowledge in animal care and bahaviour and is always eager to learn more. You will often find her speaking to BooBoo’s clientele with helpful advice, tips and guidance.

 

She has been very happy to have joined the wonderful team here at BooBoo’s since January 2022.
