Meet The Team
General Manager
Jana
I have been with Bay Paws - Clearwater since day one, going on four years.
Pets have been my passion since I was a little kid and it has only been growing over the years. I have volunteered with pets since I was a teenager in Latvia, England and Florida. I have worked with dogs and small pets. Herding dogs and bunnies are my absolute favorites.
My favorite memory at Bay Paws is when we were boarding a snail - all pets need care and love, and we are here to provide it.
Assistant General Manager
Madison
Hello everyone! My name is Madison and I am the Assistant General Manager of the pawsome Clearwater Bay Paws Pet Resort pack! I joined the team in July of 2023 and I have over seven years of professional pet care experience as well as countless volunteering hours and participating in TNR programs across Florida! My love for animals is reflected in my personal life where I am the caretaker of 3 playful kitties- a gluttonous buff tabby named Paizley, a fashionable black shorthaired kitty named Blossom, and last but not least a calico kitten with a lot of attitude, Bugatti. My passion for taking care of pets stems from one of my earliest memories: a room full of stuffed Webkinz toys, a white costume veterinarian coat, and watching Air Bud movies on repeat. One of my favorite memories at Bay Paws was the summer pool parties. I remember pups like Duke, Roscoe, Neko, and Roo zooming around the pool, bubbles flying everywhere, everyone was enjoying the sunshine and of course Tux laying in the cool breeze! I am thankful every day to have the opportunity to bring equal parts experience and enthusiasm to your furry friends stay!
Groomer
Jaime
Hi my name is Jaime and I’m the Groomer for Bay Paws Pet Resort in Clearwater. I’ve grown up in the business of grooming, starting as far back as when I was 15 years old. I would visit Debi’s Puppy Love in Bay Pines Plaza and learn grooming from Debi. She was my mentor in life as I know it still today doing what I love: Grooming dogs and cats too! I’ve been at Bay Paws for 9 months now and have loved every minute of my time here! For the past 30 years, I have been grooming dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. Schnauzer clips are my favorite and I always put my heart into every grooming service I perform. I will continue to groom as long as I can and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
