Gabby grew up in a household with a large pack, and truly believes a house is not a home without a dog! She moved out at the age of 18 and today her new pack consists of her husband Alex, their Pitbull Australian Shepherd mix Chunky Monkey, Dawson (a Pitbull boxer mix), and Tofu (a deaf pittie mix). Chunky was born straight into Gabby’s arms and they have been inseparable since. Dawson was a surrender that she met through Pet Paradise. Tofu was abandoned in a cage outside and she became a foster fail. Gabby started as a Play-Time Coordinator in August 2019 and went into the supervisor role at Bartram, quickly advanced into becoming an Assistant Manager at WGV, and was the resort manager at the Saint Augustine and WGV location, and now is back at her home location Bartram! She is excited to be back at Bartram and ready to make sure all the pups and parents feel like their dogs are truly at Paradise!

Jennifer became a part of the Pet Paradise family in 2021, starting her journey as a Playtime Coordinator. Her passion for canine behavior quickly led her to help launch the company's dog training program, and she proudly became one of the first certified trainers through Top Tier K9. Since then, Jennifer has grown into a leadership role within management, and we couldn't be prouder of her accomplishments. With a strong background in veterinary medicine, Jennifer brings both knowledge and heart to everything she does. She's a dedicated mom to two amazing kids, a spirited Doberman named Nitro, and a bearded dragon! Jennifer's mission is to ensure every pup not only receives top-notch care at Pet Paradise, but also leaves feeling like the best version of themselves.

Kacy has been a valued member of the Pet Paradise family since 2023. She began her journey as a receptionist, quickly working her way up to supervisor and now proudly serves as Assistant Manager at our Bartram location. Growing up on a farm, Kacy developed a deep love for all animals from dogs to horses and that passion shines through in everything she does. She shares her home with two beloved dogs: June, her childhood companion, and her rescued German Shepherd. Next time you're at Bartram, be sure to say hi to Kacy! She's always happy to meet fellow animal lovers!

Amanda joined the Pet Paradise family in May 2025, bringing her lifelong love of animals and dedication to pet care. Growing up, she was inspired by wildlife legends like Jack Hanna and Steve Irwin, often watching Zoo Life and The Crocodile Hunter on repeat. Today, she shares her heart (and her couch!) with her beloved Pomsky, Pumpkin. As Assistant Resort Manager, Amanda is passionate about creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for every guest—two-legged and four-legged alike. She can’t wait to welcome you and your pup to Paradise!

Hey guys! My name is Ryan and I am a certified K9 behavioral specialist here at Pet Paradise Bartram. My love for dogs brought me to Pet Paradise over 4 years ago. I have had the pleasure of working in may resorts around Jacksonville and many positions with in the resort. My favorite by far is K9 training, I have been through one-on-one training mentored under a master K9 trainer with Top Tier K9. My favorite thing about training is helping the dogs become their best selves and grow to their full potential. The most rewarding part of this position is watching the paw-rents and their pups grow closer and stronger throughout the program.
