about us
Corrie Lynn founded Pet Pastries in 2008 when an ill ferret needed her attention in monitoring all of his nutritional requirements. They gave Joey 6 months to live. She cooked and baked for him macrobiotically using whole organic foods and she transitioned every synthetic cleanser into natural ones - It gave him 2.5 more years. Soon she was doing the same for shelters, friends, family and even the local coffee shop dog. And now she is doing it for people with pets like you!
Corrie Lynn
Corrie studied Holistic Care for Companion Animals and worked under a traditional allopathic veterinarian. Having grown up on a farm in Ohio, she always enjoys having animals around her. She grows to love the fur-kids she works with as if they were her own. They are family members and she will exceed expectations by providing exceptional care tailored just for them. She lives with her partner Jordan and their four ferrets in Squirrel Hill. In her free time Corrie enjoys jumping out of planes with Skydive Pennsylvania.
After almost a decade of providing macrobiotic dog food and pet services, Pet Pastries have had some additions to the pet services team. All four team members provide all of the various pet services. Corrie personally makes all the dog food and treats for all clients.
SAMANTHA LYNN
As Corrie’s sister, Sam has watched Corrie blossom in her development as a Holistic Pet Expert. A retired social worker, Sam is by nature, an aficionado of being able to handle all types of situations under pressure. After years in the social work field, Sam needed a change in order to pursue her passions. She loves to be active, be outdoors, and is now able to combine that with her love of animals. Sam has a big heart for rescuing pets and giving those pets a better life. She has experience in Wilderness survival, caring for disabled pets, and even participated in “Dock Dog’s” for a short time with her late fur baby, Jain. She is a transplant to Pittsburgh and has felt right at home since her move here almost 15 years ago.
Michelle Cook
Michelle grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. From a young age, she has always had two loves: animals and hockey. Growing up, Michelle always had family pets (both dogs and cats). She also had a way of always finding wild animals in need and spent a lot of her childhood volunteering to rehabilitate injured birds, rabbits, squirrels, etc. This has stayed with her into adulthood, and during her 17 years as an elementary school teacher, Michelle’s students would always run to her with questions about animals! After transitioning out of teaching, Michelle started her dog training career as well as dog walking and sitting. She also has two fur babies of her own, Skylar and Honey. In her free time, she plays hockey for the Team USA Women’s Ball Hockey Team, spends sunny days on the river boating, hiking with her pups, or spending time with family and friends!
Kelly Hughes
Kelly is originally from upstate New York and spent her teenage years and early twenties in the DC–MD–VA area. With a lifelong passion for animals—especially dogs—she brings over 15 years of professional experience in pet care.
Immediately after high school, Kelly entered the field as a pet sitter while also working at a local pet store. After relocating to Pennsylvania at 23, she joined a dog daycare in the Canonsburg area. When she became pregnant, Kelly decided to turn her passion into a long-term career, stepping into an Assistant Manager role at a dog daycare in Monroeville. After three years in that position, she transferred to another location in the East End, where she was promoted to General Manager and served for an additional three years.
Kelly shares her home with her two children and three rescue beagles, and she also fosters dogs through Nittany Beagle Rescue—so there’s usually a foster pup along for the ride. Outside of work, she enjoys photography, cooking, and spending time in nature. Now, as a mom of two, Kelly is excited to join the Pet Pastries team, where she can continue doing what she loves while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
