Vicktoria Schultz

Hi, I’m Vicktoria! I have been a member of the Red Dog Pack since September of 2022. I was born and raised right here in Aiken, SC. I completed all of my general college requirements last fall at USCA and will be starting in the Dental Hygiene Program at Aiken Tech in the Fall of 2023. I live with my Mom, Dad, sister and dogs, Moose & Ciara. When not working at Red Dog Pet Services, I am usually out walking Moose, helping neighbors & spreading positive energy. I also love to hang out with my younger sister and friends, help my grandma with her tax business and have fun with my Mom, Dad, and grandparents.

I love working for Red Dog Pet Services and have fallen in love with the fur babies that I care for.

Krysta Buchholz

Hi, I’m Krysta. My husband and I moved to Aiken in 2016. We have a 6 year old little boy, a cool rescue cat, and a 70 lb lap dog named Pickles!
 
I worked in healthcare for over 10 years but after the pandemic, I decided it was time for a change. It was then that I started working with dogs at the Aiken County Animal Shelter and quickly found my passion for animals grew. During my time at the shelter, I met my pup Pickles! Pickles is a very energetic American Pit bull Terrier!
 
Although I enjoyed my time working at the shelter, I decided a more flexible schedule would be best for my family (and Pickles), so Pickles & I started a small business called The Beaded Pickle! I make and sell unique beaded dog collars and bandanas and Pickles models! Pickles has her own Instagram and also models for several other companies.
 
I’m so excited to be part of the Red Dog Pack and can’t wait to meet your fur-babies!

Casey O'Rourke

My name is Casey. I am originally from New Jersey. I have been an animal lover my entire life. When I was 5 years old, I was supposed to be in goal on the soccer field and when the other team got a break away, and I was missing from the goal, it was no surprise to anyone I was two fields over petting a spectator’s dog. In 2012, when my parents and Aunt retired to South Carolina, I felt I was ready for a change as well so I packed my things and moved south. My Aunt and I would volunteer to walk dogs at the Aiken Animal Shelter and for several years I worked as a receptionist at ServPro in Aiken but decided office work was not really for me. In 2017, I enrolled in a dog grooming school in Blythewood SC which had an extensive and intensive program. After completing the program, I was hired as one of their groomers. I have been employed there ever since. I have met so many amazing fur babies and families while I’ve been grooming. The grooming salon gets many inquiries about boarding, so I’ve had additional opportunities to do at home pet sitting. I am looking forward to joining the Red Dog Pack and adding dog walking to my list of pet services!
 

Paula Barbour

Hi, I’m Paula. I arrived in Aiken in April, 2024. My husband and I along with our dog Molly and cat Cody decided it was time for a better quality of life and found our forever home in Aiken. My husband closed his commercial printing business and is now semi retired and works at Lowe’s supermarket. I co own a large private car service on Cape Cod and now work part time running the daily scheduling from Aiken. From the moment we saw Aiken on our search for a new home, Aiken felt like a comfy old sweater. It just fit. I am also a registered volunteer at the SPCA Albrecht Center for animal welfare. I’m looking forward to helping assist you in the care of your fur babies.
