I am a Mother of 2 Girls, 3 Dogs, 2 Cats and a Duck.  I have always loved animals and loved caring for them. I always aspire to be the best I can be at what I do. I have worked as an Assistant Manager for many years in retail but always had a passion for working with animals. Pet Paradise has given me the opportunity to be part of this wonderful family for a year now. I feel super blessed to be working and doing what I love the most. When not working at Pet Paradise I enjoy going camping with my family. We love hiking and biking with Onyx and Mila on our days off.

I have been with Pet Paradise since Spring of 2023 and absolutely love interacting with every pup that walks through our doors. Working here has helped me realize my dream of having a career in dog training and given me the opportunity to achieve my goals. I love filling my life with incredible people and dogs and enjoy every second when I'm able to train the dogs in our facility. I find it rewarding to see how excited the parents are when they pick up and watching the dogs leave with a totally different mentality and behavior than when they arrived.

Felicia has been grooming since 2009. Her favorite breeds to groom are bichon, Australian shepherds, and cocker spaniels. She has 6 dogs, a cat, and a long hair guinea pig. In her free time, she enjoys refurbishing furniture, working on cars, and competing in sports with 3 of her dogs. She has had a love for animals since she was a little kid, and she has always loved various forms of art. She thinks grooming is an art form, and is so grateful to be able to put her love of animals and art into such a rewarding career!
