Our Team

  • Kenneth

    OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR

    I hold the role of Operations Supervisor, and at 23 years of age, my deep passion for animals, particularly dogs, serves as a guiding force in my life. These remarkable creatures are a constant reminder that amid life’s challenges, there exist beings on this earth capable of offering selfless and unconditional love.

    Simultaneously, I am a dedicated business student enrolled at the University of Manitoba. I aspire to harmonize my ardour for animals with my education in business. I firmly believe that dogs epitomize genuine and boundless affection, and my time spent with them transcends the notion of work, transforming into a realm of relaxation and joy.

  • Sofia

    FRONT DESK ATTENDANT

    I recently joined the Pet’s Paradise family. I have previous experience as a front desk attendant and a receptionist at a health clinic in Colombia.

    I have been really into animals for as long as I can remember. My whole life has been filled with excellent pets. But one guy holds a super special spot in my heart – Coronel, our family dog. He has been my best buddy for the last six years, always there to lend a paw and bring some joy into my life.

  • Madison

    FRONT DESK ATTENDANT

    As a passionate student with a heart full of compassion for our furry friends, I am dedicated to becoming a veterinarian and positively impacting the lives of all animals.

    At home, I have 3 of my own furry friends and a small growing zoo with five reptiles and amphibians. I am kept busy with three dogs and a mini zoo, but it does not feel like a chore when you love what you do.

My professional credentials include certification in PPGAM (Professional Pet Groomers and Animal Masters) and pet first aid, reflecting my steadfast dedication to the welfare and safety of the animals under my care.

    My love for grooming goes way beyond a job; it is a genuine passion. I find happiness in spoiling and making our furry friends even more beautiful. Being around these adorable companions is like living in constant joy for me.

    I have more than five years of experience in the pet industry, from daycare to pet groomer.

    I am proficient in grooming dogs and cats and familiar with several animal behaviours and physiology since my major is animal science.

    I had my first puppy when I was three years old. I have one corgi and one adopted cat with meright now! I enjoyed my job a lot and am thankful I could spend all day with these cutest friends!

  • Jing

    GROOMER

    I have been grooming dogs professionally since 2018. My favourite breed to groom is the “oodles” of every variety, such as Goldendoodles, Labradoodles and Sheepadoodles! I am comfortable grooming all breeds of every size, but I love styling whoever is well-behaved.

    I would describe myself as a calm groomer with lots of patience and knowledge. I cannot wait to meet you and give your dog a fresh new haircut!

    I am a Mexican guy serving as a Daycare Attendant. I bring a wealth of experience spanning one year, specifically in the care of dogs. My passion for animals drives me to continually expand my knowledge, as evidenced by acquiring multiple training certificates in this field.

    My profound affection for animals has been integral to my life since my upbringing in the picturesque countryside, where I have enjoyed the privilege of cherished animal companions.

  • Adrian

    DAYCARE ATTENDANT

    I grew up with a Dalmatian and two cats, so I have a very significant love for animals, which is why I enjoy my work at Pet's Paradise. Since childhood, I have been surrounded by pets and deeply connected with all creatures.

    Their beauty, intelligence and uniqueness constantly inspire me. My passion is to share my love of animals with others, educate them about the importance of their conservation and encourage everyone to care for and protect our natural environment.

    The company of animals profoundly enriches my life, and my dedication to ensuring their well-being is an integral part of who I am.

  • Juan Carlos

    DAYCARE ATTENDANT

    For as long as I can remember, my love for animals has been a fundamental part of my life. Every day, I am inspired by the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom. My passion for protecting and caring for them has led me to be a passionate advocate for animal rights.

    Caring for and training pets has strengthened my patience and communication skills. Whenever an animal trusts us, feels safe, and experiences joy, we know we do the most meaningful and rewarding work.

The Pet’s Paradise team can't wait to embark on this incredible journey with you and your cherished pets!
