Owner & Founder

McKenna has had a deep love and passion for animals for as long as she can remember. Her background includes working at an animal hospital, doggy daycare, completing a year of veterinary technician school, and graduating from her high school’s Culinary Arts program. She also generously volunteers her time with local shelters and rescues. She is also a board member for an event committee in her town.

In her free time, McKenna enjoys traveling, hiking with her dogs, reading a good book, and spending time with friends and family.

McKenna pours her heart into every aspect of Roxie’s Barkery, and you can feel confident knowing she only sells what she’d happily give to her own pets. She can’t wait to meet you and your furry family!

Pupmanager , Head of Quality Control, CBO (chief barking officer)

Roxie is the inspiration behind Roxie’s Barkery and the reason it all began! A spirited beagle mix, Roxie was adopted by McKenna from Dog Star Rescue in 2020. Since then, she’s proudly served as head taste tester, product tester, and official store greeter-roles she takes very seriously.

Every biscuit and baked good must receive Roxie’s “Barking Good!” approval before it ever hits the shelves. Her bark of approval ensures that everything we offer meets her high standards-and yours.

When she’s not working, Roxie enjoys hikes, walks, car rides, neighborhood patrols from the living room window, and of course, plenty of well deserved naps and snuggles.

Head Biscuit Baker
Retail Associate

John, McKenna’s stepdad, brings years of experience from the food service industry to Roxie’s Barkery. Formerly the Food Service Director at a local collage, John is now retired and has taken on a key role in supporting McKenna as the business continues to grow.

As our head biscuit baker, John plays an essential part in bringing our “Barking Good Biscuits” to life. You’ll see him at the Barkery daily, helping out at events, or sometimes out and about delivering to our many wholesale partners.

Assistant Baker

Ann, McKenna’s mom, has been a skilled baker for many years-and McKenna is incredibly grateful to have her expertise as part of the Roxie’s Barkery team.

When she’s not at her full-time bakery job, Ann loves lending a hand during the busy holiday seasons. You’ll often find her at the Barkery helping McKenna frost cookies, bake speciality items, and prepare for pop-up events.

Her talent, support, and love of baking play a big role in making Roxie’s Barkery extra special!

Part time Retail Associate

Marinna, McKenna’s sister, plays an important role in our family-run business. Like many of our store shifts, her time at the Barkery reflects the heart and support of our close-knit team of family and friends.

Marinna will sometimes step in as a retail associate when we’re fully booked with events and pop-up markets.

She shares her home with two cats, Luna and Atlas, and while she doesn’t have dogs of her own, she’s grown up around them and is always happy to help you find the perfect goodies for both your pups and kitties! Marinna also brings years of customer service experience and is a proud graduate of her high school’s Culinary Arts Program.

Taste Tester/ Product Tester

Leo is a sweet puggle mix! Leo really specializes in savoring the flavor when taste testing our biscuits! He really takes his time to taste all the flavors before he gives his “Barking Good!” approval!

When Leo has a day off from taste testing he loves to snuggle up on his recliner, look out the living room windows, chew on some yummy chews, and de-fluff a toy or two.

Taste Tester/ Product tester

Tinsley is a crazy fox red labrador! We can’t say that Tinsley is to great at savoring the flavor like Leo because she really inhales our biscuits, but hey that’s not a bad thing right!?

When Tinsley has a day off from taste testing she loves to run around outside, go dock diving, go on hikes, do some enrichment, and hang out with her cousin Louie!

Taste Tester

Louie is a very energetic boarder collie mix! Louie absolutely loves being apart of the taste testing team! His favorite is our Frosty Pup-Cups!

When Louie has a day off from taste testing he loves to take walks with his dad (John), play ball, snowshoe during the winter months, run around in his yard, play with toys, and ends every day sitting at the freezer at approximately 6pm waiting for his Frosty Pup-Cup!
