Ms. Aileen Lee Sor Geok or more commonly known as Aunty Aileen is the founder of My Pets Haven. Aunty Aileen was previously a pub owner before she discovered her passion for animals. She first started working in a pet shop and she wasn’t really happy with the way her bosses treat the animals.   

Her ex-bosses denied Aunty Aileen's requests to walk the dogs that were kept in cages too small for them to even stretch their legs. Being the rebel she is, she took the dogs out for a walk whenever the boss wasn’t around. That was Aunty Aileen's "DAY 1" of realizing her passion.
