Dr. Kalb was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida. He grew up on a small farm in Mandarin with horses, dogs, cats and chickens. His interest in veterinary medicine started at a young age working with his mother, an equine veterinarian. He attended Florida State university with an original focus in business and completed his veterinary prerequisites in two years. He then began veterinary school in 2016 at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and spent his clinical year at the University of Florida School of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Kalb recently graduated in December 2019 2nd in his class.

In his free time, you will either find Dr. Kalb playing golf, relaxing on the beach, or playing with his cats. He aspires to pursue further education, specializing in small animal internal medicine or small animal surgery.

Michelle DiMaggio has always had a passion for animals. She joined Pet Paradise Gainesville in March 2012 while earning a degree in Animal Science at UF. In 2017 she relocated to Jacksonville to our larger location on University Blvd. When not at work, you can find Michelle visiting or volunteering at the Jacksonville Zoo, or exploring and kayaking nature parks with her fiancé. She also enjoys spending her time with her five furbabies – Theodore, Ellis, Cheesy, Brae Lynn, and Colson.

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!

Sarah grew up in a house full of critters - dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, tarantulas, lizards, hamsters, turtles, and the list goes on. Sarah currently belongs to two pups, Jasper (Terrier mix), and Azula (Australian Shepherd mix). She is working on her degree in Early Childhood Education in hopes to be a kindergarten teacher one day. When Sarah is not at work or school, she enjoys the great outdoors, camping, hiking and gardening.

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. 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!
