Misty ExleyResort Manager
Growing up in the South with a large extended family, Misty claimed every pet as her own. Pushing them around in doll strollers and even renaming them when she felt their personalities didn't match their actual name. Because the pets loved the attention, the family just usually went along with it. That hasn't changed. Gifted a dog stroller a couple years ago, she can often be seen in her neighborhood pushing her chihuahua, Oliver, around in it while walking her senior Great Dane or her blind Dane Mix rescue pup.
After starting her work career in the service industry at 14, she eventually moved into office administrative roles. After a layoff in 2012, she took the opportunity to move back into the service industry in a corporate hospitality setting. For the last 10 years, she quickly advanced from server to Upper Management roles in restaurants, catering, and resort hotels. Feeling a need after the pandemic to find a role more personally fulfilling and beneficial to others, she was happy to find a role perfect for her here at Pet Paradise that still has strong roots into her hospitality background. She enjoys telling people she pets dogs for a living. Joining such an amazing team has made this such an easy transition and she couldn't be more excited to come to work every day and meet all the pets and their families.
