Meet Haley & Regina

It's time we introduced you to a couple of our two-legged members. Meet Haley and Regina, two ladies with true passions for the animals they spend their days with. Read on to learn about Haley's Thanksgiving Day mishap and just who Tobey the Tyrant is.
Name: Haley Sarff
When did you first start with Bark Avenue: October 2010
Why did you pursue this line of work: I was looking for a flexible part time job that involved working with animals. I have a full time job and attend school part time so my options were limited. Bark Avenue works perfectly!
Favorite breed: Black labs!
Favorite fictional animal: Nemo. He is awesome and so cute!
Favorite dog/cat sitting memory (thus far): Getting covered from head to toe in Pinky's fur on Thanksgiving Day in my dress clothes with no lint roller.
Name of your first pet: George, a black and white domestic shorthair
Current pets: My wonderful black lab, Mikey and my three kitties, Stella, Leala, and Bear
If you were a pup, what breed would you be: I would be a Labrador Retriever because I love to be outside, love to swim, I am very loyal to members of my "pack," and I have a goofy personality.
Favorite thing to do when you're not dog/cat sitting: Running, camping, hiking and listening to music
Guilty pleasure: Ice cream
Name: Regina Taillefer
When did you start with Bark Avenue: April 2009
Why did you pursue this line of work: I love animals and the thought of being paid to play with them was a done deal.
Favorite breed: Great Danes. I have a soft spot for big dogs.
Favorite fictional animal: Wishbone. The PBS show was a hit with me.
Favorite dog/cat sitting memory (thus far): I can't think of one memory that was my favorite. I love them all.
Name of your first pet: My first pet was a hamster named David after my crush in kindergarten.
Current pets: I currently have Charlie the Communist, a five year old Black Lab/German Shepard mix, Tiki Torture, a seven year old
Chihuahua, Tobey the Tyrant, a six year old tuxedo kitty cat, and Rockey Balboa, a 28 year old Cockatiel.
If you were a pup, what breed would you be: I believe I would be a Mini Australian Shepherd. I fostered a Mini Australian Shepherd before. She was the most amazing dog I have ever met. She was so adorable, sweet, kind, loving, intelligent, and got into ALL KINDS of trouble. (She is the one in the middle of the picture.)
Favorite thing to do when you're not dog/cat sitting: I love to take my own to the river or the doggy park.
Guilty pleasure: Talking to my dogs as if they will answer me back with words
