Chelsea began her journey working with wildlife back in 2015, starting as a volunteer at a local rehabilitation center, working her way up to assistant manager.
She also has a broad background working with exotic species from reptiles to birds, in private facilities to large zoos. As well as experience doing field work and data collection for government conservation efforts, ranging from surveying bat populations to endangered iguanas in tropical islands. In 2020 she pivoted jobs to work with a broader range of calls for both removal and rescue situations. Having worked with venomous snakes for several years, she also began focusing on avoidance training for dogs. In this, she found a wonderful calling, keeping both our beloved dogs and our cherished wildlife safe in our ever-overlapping worlds.
In her free time, she runs her other business and spends the rest of it enjoying nature & herping.
About Us
Quinn majored in Conservation Biology and Applied Vertebrate Ecology at Humboldt State. The next 5 years were spent moving around the country working on various wildlife research studies; from small mammal research on Alaskan islands, to pheasant survivability in the native prairies of Minnesota. Quinn found wildlife rehabilitation work in Tucson in 2010 and has been working with desert wildlife ever since. The past 7 years have been spent as the lead wildlife operator for a local wildlife control company but outgrew his place there. The shift to private sector hasn’t impacted his love of research and biology, and he is a firm believer that a strong background knowledge of an animals biology and habits is invaluable to nuisance wildlife control.
Life outdoors is preferred for Quinn, and his free time is often spent hiking, herping, paddleboarding or exploring the desert with his best friend and partner Chelsea.
