As the newly appointed Assistant General Manager I wanted to introduce myself to my new Bay Paws family! My name is Aleah. I come from the dog daycare industry with a background in both managerial roles and veterinary technology. I have honed my skills in overseeing day-to-day operations, ensuring exceptional client experiences, and maintaining the highest standards of pet wellness and care at Bay Paws Ybor. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my own furry companions. You could say I have my hands full with my own two dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses! I am beyond excited to meet you and your fur babies next time you stop in!
