Dr. Parker is from upstate NY where she earned her BS and DVM degrees at Cornell University. After graduation she worked at a large 24 hour practice outside of Chicago before moving to FL to be closer to her family. Outside of work she enjoys time with her dogs (Lynah, an older Lab mix, and Jarrah, a younger Border Collie) and family, playing tennis, and traveling.

Originally from Kansas City, Missouri, Tabitha relocated to the Sarasota, FL area to begin her career in Hospitality. Her passion to work with animals led her to our Lakewood Ranch Resort. After receiving her B.A. in Business Administration she tried many industries including banking, sales, investments, and hospitality.  She knew something was missing and made the jump to the pet care industry. Her goals are to grow with Pet Paradise and provide a unique experience to pets in her community. She enjoys spending time with her 3 rescue dogs Harley, Mia, Zero, and her husband Steven. She hopes to bring a fun and positive experience to all our guests at Pet Paradise!
