Meet the team...

If you’ve shopped at Ed’s Pet World anytime in the last 20 years, chances are you already know Julie! She’s been a familiar, friendly face around here for two decades and truly loves helping customers and caring for the animals. Born and raised in Mitchell, SD, Julie found her passion for the pet care industry while spending six years working at a pet store in Naples, Florida—experience she brought back home and has shared with our customers ever since. A lifelong cat lover, she proudly says she’s “never been without” one 🐱.

When she’s not at the store, Julie enjoys swimming, relaxing by the pool, and spending time as an active member of the Moose Lodge. We’re grateful for her years of dedication and know many of you are too—next time you’re in, be sure to say hi (again)! 💙🐾

Sam has been a valued member of the Ed’s Pet World team since June of 2016. This is her first and only job, and she truly enjoys every part of it. Sam especially loves working hands-on with a wide variety of animals and appreciates that no two days at the store are ever the same.

Outside of work, Sam enjoys singing, playing darts, hiking, and solving puzzles. She brings that same energy, care, and curiosity into her work each day.

Sam looks forward to continuing her journey at Ed’s Pet World and being part of the positive, welcoming environment she enjoys every day.
