Welcome to
Pet Paradise Charlotte Airport

Eddy was born in Puerto Rico and moved to Jacksonville at 5-years-old, where he has lived ever since.

He started at Pet Paradise in June 2017 as a Resort Associate, then advanced to Supervisor, Assistant Manager and now Resort Manager. Pet Paradise has made him realize his passion for animals and other countless valuable skills and lessons. He believes paradise is a feeling, not just a place. When parents drop off their pets, he takes it upon himself to bring that same feeling to every pet - no matter the size or breed.

He is currently in school pursuing a Bachelors in Business Administration with a focus in International Business and a minor in Digital Marketing and Analytics. He also has his own dog, Olivia, who was rescued when she was just 4-months-old from the shelter while she was recovering from surgery for a broken fibula. Since being adopted, she has fully recovered and loves being able to come with her dad to work every day and swim in the bone-shaped pool.

Cassie Thomson started her journey at Pet Paradise in 2016. She has been in the customer service industry for about 9 years, but it wasn't until she started working with Pet Paradise that she found her real passion for animals. Her favorite thing about the job is forming a personal bond with each of the dogs and the clients. When she's not at work, she enjoys adventuring and relaxing with her friends and her dog, Harley.

Kayleigh joined the Pet Paradise family in 2014, working as a resort associate before working her way up to Assistant Manager. Kayleigh has over 10+ years in customer service and has a passion for animals which led her to where she is today! She loves the bonds she creates with all of the guests and clients. In her free time, she spends her days cuddling with her pups, Capone and Nova or exploring new places.

Siobhan started her Pet Paradise career in 2021 as a resort associate. After hard work, passion, and dedication she has worked her way up to becoming a back of house Assistant Manager. Siobhan has two rescue pups; Kingsley and Copper. Kingsley, who is featured in the photo above is from our partnering rescue, Lucky Labs. He is a middle-aged husky mix. Copper is a 1 year old beagle mix. Siobhan has always had a passion for animals and feels so lucky to be able to make a career out of it. She can’t wait to see where her journey in pet care takes her.

When not working: she enjoys family time, old movies, thrifting and all things vintage, with lots of cuddles from her crew in-between.

I’ve been with pet paradise for 7 years. In 2020 I received my certifications for Dog Obedience and Behavior, Animal Diet and Nutrition and Pet Massage. I’ve put those skills to use outside of the resort until we finally launched the program! I was very eager and excited to further my education in the dog training world. Speaking “dog” has been a given gift since I was a little lady, I would do my own research and stack all the dog books I could find in the library. I’ve also learned from my own family pets growing up where lines are drawn. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than getting that “wow, you can understand me?” look from a troubled dog that’s experienced so much overwhelming stimulation in such a short time span and it all just come together because they know they can trust me and they’re safe. Ram Dass once said “we’re all just walking each-other home”. Once that bond and trust has been established -WIN- now let’s see what we can do together my friend, let’s walk each-other to success.

Hello! My name is Jenifer, and I have been with Pet Paradise since June 2022. I love training because it is so rewarding to watch a dog learn new commands and I get to see the progress from the first day until their go home day. I have the opportunity to make a difference in the parents' and dogs' lives. I'm apart of helping them understand and to be able to communicate better with each other and build a long-lasting bond. Seeing and hearing the parents' exciting reactions when they see their dog(s) making progress each session makes me happy and I am helping save dogs from going to shelters for not having proper training.
