Hi, my name is Mecenzie McElaney! I am a Florida native, my family dates back to before the Civil War. I have joined the Pet Paradise team with a wealth of management, customer service, and hospitality experience. I love spending a day off outdoors weather is hunting, fishing, boating or kayaking. It's a bonus if any of my furbabies can tag along. I have two dogs, Naomi (American pit bull terrier) and Ziggy (Catahoula blue heeler mix) and five cats, Gracie, Simon, Nova, Maddy and Shadow. During my free time I also enjoy barrel racing or trail riding with my horse, Happy. I'm ecstatic to have joined the team and able to excel in pet care and further my career. The pack already practices team work and feel I belong here. I look forward my future at Pet Paradise. I'm big on teamwork and I like to have a good time will getting the job done effectively and efficiently. 

My name is Archie, I have been working at pet paradise for a year. I graduated from high school with my veterinary assistant’s degree. I was a vet tech for a year and then found out about the wonderful world of doggie daycare. I was in the doggie daycare industry for 3 years before i fell in love with pet paradise. I became a dog trainer because I love all dogs and believe they are all good baby’s who deserve a warm and comfortable home life with their families. I find it extremely rewarding to see the dogs transform into the pets that their parents need from them.

Hi! I'm Abbie! I have my own 2 dogs, Elvis, a labrador retriever, and Zorro, a 14 lbs mix, and 2 reptiles. My life did a full 180° after setting up a communication system with my dogs and we lived together while filling each other’s needs. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than watching owners and their dogs take on life as a team.
