Welcome to
Pet Paradise Palm Beach

Tessa Thomas was born and raised in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. She has maintained a lifelong interest in animals. Tessa has explored many aspects of that interest, including participating in the zoo program at Busch Gardens and traveling to Nicaragua on a research trip to study Howler monkeys. She attended college in Boston before returning to the sunny south and completing an associate degree in business at Santa Fe State College in Gainesville, FL. While living in Gainesville, Tessa began working at Pet Paradise Gainesville where she found the career she truly loves. Tessa has worked hard to advance within the company, and has previous experience as resort supervisor. Tessa is thrilled to be back in the Palm Beaches, and she loves seeing her four- legged clients every day. She is passionate about both dogs and cats and makes sure they feel comfortable and content, and she treats each animal like her own beloved pets. Tessa has three pets: Buckley, her rescue dog who is now 80lbs and growing, Layla, a chocolate lab mix, and Lucy, a five-year-old orange tabby cat who has been with her since Boston.

Brett is a Florida native, born and raised in Broward County. He grew up in an animal loving home and was raised around dogs his whole life. From a young age, Brett's love for all animals grew when he worked in a local reptile store. He then pursued a career in vehicle repairs which never really made him feel completely content. He started at Pet Paradise as a resort associate, then soon discovered that this was going to be his fur-ever career that was absolutely purrfect for an animal lover like himself. Brett currently has 2 cats, Di'nero and Roxy, and a dog, Fendi. He never knew he was a cat lover until his wife brought home two rescue cats from Arkansas and he quickly fell in love with Di'nero's cross eyes and Roxy's cuddly people-loving demeanor. On Christmas 2017, Brett and his wife decided their lives were incomplete without a pup to love. That is when Fendi was not only added to his family, but also Pet Paradise's family, coming to paradise for day camp since she was a puppy. Fendi is a hound mix with a face that would make anyone's heart melt. Brett's favorite part of the day in paradise is getting to see all of his furry friends, from the cat rooms to the play yards.
