Welcome to

Dr. Connolly grew up in Canada and graduated from the University of Montreal in 2001. She promotes medicine for the mind, body and soul, “treat the patient and not the disease.” Dr. Connolly published her first book in 2011 titled “Animal Teachings” and just released her sequel book in 2021.

Molly joined the Pet Paradise family in August 2018. She was raised around all kinds of animals - from cats and dogs, to horses and fish. She is currently the mother of two rambunctious kitties, Poe and Finn (catch the Star Wars reference). Molly also loves working with humans, as she has been in the hospitality industry for almost 10 years! Her most recent position was as an Assistant Manager of Florida's largest candy factory, where she cultivated an amazing environment for hundreds of children every day. She hopes to bring that same outstanding service to Pet Paradise for your animal children!

Erica and her pup, Molly, have been a part of the Pet Paradise team for a year and a half now. Erica likes to spend her free time with her kids and of course with all her fur babies. Molly loves coming to work with her and spending time with all her best fur friends.

Rachel joined the Pet Paradise family in September of 2020. She started in our resort position, then moved up to a Supervisor, and is now an Assistant Manager! Rachel has 3 of her own fur babies, 2 black & white kitties named Olive & Basil and a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Raven. She is excited to continue loving and taking care of all your pups in Paradise!

My entire life I have had a love for dogs. After spending the last 8 years at Pet Paradise, my dream job of training dogs has come true. I have received Certifications in Pet Trainer, Foundation Dog® and I’m currently enrolled in and pursuing my Masters Certification. It’s truly rewarding being able to train a dog and their owner so they can communicate effectively and live their best lives together.

My goal is to help provide a more harmonious balance in you and your dog's daily life, whether it's being inside the house or doing outside activities. Having dogs growing up without training, I realized how important it is to set boundaries, have a great recall and have knowledge of overall daily routine for dogs. I have a great passion for training and love for dogs and take pride in the work that I do.

Pamela has been grooming professionally for well over 10 years. Her career with Pet Paradise first started in 2009 and if you ask her, she will tell you it's the best choice she has ever made! She takes pride in her work and has a strong passion for animals and grooming them, which has led her to receiving 2022 Groomer of the Year honors! To Pamela, the grooming process is much like an art form. Each and every haircut is an opportunity to sculpt a dogs appearance into the cutest dog he or she can be! Grooming is important to Pamela not only for each dogs health and hygiene, but she believes it gives every dog a chance to step out into the world putting their best paw forward!

Krissy loves all animals and was raised with all sorts her whole life, working at Pet Paradise is a dream come true for her as she gets to do what she loves. She is so excited to get to know all the fur babies and customers at the Jacksonville University location.
