Jing Ye
GROOMER
My name is Jing and I have been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. At home my 2 cats run the household; Lanny who is a Calico, and Todd is an Orange Tabby! When I’m not at work you can find me outside enjoying the sun while barbecuing in the yard or out fishing with friends!
My favorite breed to groom is the “oodles” of every variety such as Goldendoodles, Labradoodles and Sheepadoodles! I am comfortable grooming all breeds of every size but I love styling whoever is well-behaved. I would describe myself as a calm groomer with lots of patience and knowledge. I can’t wait to meet you and give your dog a fresh new hair cut!
Devyn Basso
DAYCARE ATTENDANT
Hello! I'm Devyn, and I've been working in the professional dog industry since early 2022. I'm delighted to introduce my two furry companions to the club! Purpose (a Pembroke Welsh Corgi) and Mercy (a Husky Shepherd mix) You can follow them on Instagram @purposeandmercy, and you will see that Mercy comes to work with me regularly to play with the daycare dogs!
When I'm not showering your pups with cuddles and affection, you can usually find me enjoying quality time with my adorable fur girls, hanging out with friends, or studying towards my career geriatric social work. My favourite part of the job is taking the most adorable photos of you dogs and posting them on our social media’s for all the pet parents to enjoy! I have also done professional training in handing dogs in group settings and reading body language, your dogs are in not only loving hands when their with me, but also in experienced hands! I'm thrilled to be a part of BRC and even more excited to spend my days playing and caring for your beloved pets!
Priscilla Bittern
DAYCARE ATTENDANT
Hi there my name is Priscilla and I joined The Belly Rub Club team in May 2023. Although I don’t have professional experience in the dog industry, this is by far the best job I have ever had!
I am owned by my Yorkie/Pomeranian named Jazzy, She’s 8 years young! She loves being outside so we to go for walks and play fetch all day long! In my free time I like to listen to music, read, paint, be outdoors and hangout with my friends and family. I can’t wait to spoil your dog with all the cuddles (and maybe a few treats too)
Mary MacPherson
DAYCARE ATTENDANT
​My name is Mary and I started working with Brian in 2020 when he was operating BRC out of his house. My home is run by the family dog named Penny, she's 13 years young and is a mix of German Shepard with Husky and Norwegian Elkhound (yes lots of hair)
When I'm not playing with the pups, you can find me studying for school which I am working towards a field in Social Work, or practicing rhythmic gymnastics which I coach as well. Can't wait to meet all your pups give them all a good belly rub!

Nikkole Howarth
DAYCARE ATTENDANT
My name is Nikkole (or Nikki) and I am owned by my dog Whistle who is an Australian Shepherd (you can check her out on Instagram @whistle.theredtri) and my family dog Rico, the Pomeranian!
I joined the Belly Rub Club team in early June of 2023 but I have worked in some of Winnipegs largest dog daycares and grooming salons since 2017. With my experience and professional training in the industry, I would say my strength is reading dogs body language and making sure your dogs are having a comfortable visit with balanced playing. My favourite part of the job is watching the pups have a fun filled day (or stay) away from home, it always brings a smile to my face! You’ll mostly find me in daycare with your pups but I may run into you at the front desk, or even trimming your pups nails!
