Jeff Chaffin (1963-2023)
Owner
It is rare that someone knows exactly what they want to “be” when they grow up but for owner Jeff Chaffin a visit to a boarding kennel at age 10 solidified his career path. Jeff has been a life long animal lover. The list of pets is lengthy and includes Dogs, Cats, Birds, Lizards, Turtles and Fish just to name a few. Jeff knew that he wanted to one day own a business dedicated to the care of pets.
His goal was not to replicate what he had seen in the industry but rather to create a boarding kennel where animal lovers like him could bring their pets and feel confident that they are being cared for as if they are family. No detail was overlooked in the design and array of services that are offered, from the boarding choices for dogs ranging from the traditional runs to the geriatric runs where special care is given to dogs in their senior years to the luxury suites he strives to meet each individual pet’s needs.
His priority is to ensure that each pet entrusted to the staff of Calypso is given the care that he would expect for his own pets. The commitment to providing the best care for your pet continues today just as it did when Calypso was first opened for business.
