Professional Dog Grooming and Doggy Daycare Caretakers

The River Paws Way

Amanda Masarik - Owner

Amanda is the owner and founder of River Paws. She and her fiance Ben live in DeForest with their two kiddos Evie, Kai, dog Journey, and 2 rescue cats, George, and Monkey. Amanda attended UW Madison where she studied communication and Animal Science with an emphasis on behavior. While in school she worked at the UW Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. She was a technician in the Pharmacy for the past 9 years. She enjoys working with many animals but especially loves horses, pigs, cows, monkeys, and of course DOGS! Amanda is fascinated by the communication between us humans and our pets and is continually researching the best way to really understand our dogs.

Kayla Spahn - Daycare Lead

Kayla loves animals and has always worked with them. Kayla has two German Shepherds Porter and Briar. Porter is a year and a half and got her into the sport of IGP. Briar is her new puppy and was bred to be a working dog specifically to excel in IGP. Before doing dog sports, Kayla had a horse that she would compete in hunter/jumps with. Kayla is also in school studying to be a Vet Tech.

Suzie DiMarco - Groomer

Hello! I am Suzie, and I have been a groomer for almost 11 years now. I graduated with a degree in fashion design but was completely derailed by my desire to work
with animals. Art and animals have always been my passions, and this is a great way to combine the two. I have worked as a groomer in several states throughout
the country and that has given me a unique and varied experience in which to learn and grow. I try my hardest to never stop learning new ways to keep your
babies looking their best.

Sarah Van De Loo - Groomer

Hello, my name is Sarah. I’ve always had a love for animals and knew from a young age that I wanted to work with them. I have been in the grooming industry for 10 years and absolutely love it! I have 3 amazing fur babies of my own and can’t wait to meet all of your four-legged family members.

Erin Horton - Grooming Manager

Hi there! I’m Erin. I have loved dogs my whole life. I worked at a dog boarding facility for almost 5 years before taking a break to go to beauty school.  After a while away I realized how much I missed being around dogs all day and I am so glad to be back working with them again! I can’t wait to meet all of you and your furry friends!

Alana Clare - Photographer / Social Media Management

Hey, I’m Alana; & here’s a little bit about me-
I’ve had an admiration for animals all of my life and my creative photography passions have carried with me through the years as well, but especially the past three.

If I look familiar to you- back in 2017 I worked here as a caretaker in which I absolutely adored the position. But, eventually college had to become my main focus and in 2019 I graduated as a CVT from MATC. After working in the vet tech career for two years I had finally decided I was ready for a change. I wanted to work in an environment where both I and the pets would be thrilled to see one another on a regular basis.
To build a loving bond with them on a much more intimate level. Fast forward to 2022 -> Amanda and I reached out to one another and discussed the opportunity to do social media photography work and pet portraits! Of course, from there I thought, what better way to mesh the two things I love and adore the most than to come back to River Paws ?! I am so very thrilled to be back here! I eventually hope to own a pup of my own in the near future in addition to my two kitties, Taz and Deja. But in the meantime, I will continue to love the daycare pups as my own! I look forward to meeting all of you wonderful pet parents and your fur pals. :)
