Angela: Pet Care Specialist

Angela has been living in Tallahassee for a little over ten years now, moving here from Eastern NC.  She started off as a client back in 2021 for senior Aussie Stryker who had extreme anxiety being boarded anywhere. Angela loved the idea of coming to where pets are most comfortable, their own home, and loved the care that Stryker received while she was away, that she decided to become part of the Tallahassee Lassie team. Angela wants to give others’ pets the same love and care that she wishes hers to be given. She now has two new rescue Aussies: Luna and Kylo.

Jen has both volunteered and worked in animal rescue and adoption. A cat-mom for decades, she has also experienced the trust and love of a rambunctious border collie, who grew her heart about a thousand sizes, as dogs will. Jen and her husband welcomed two cats into the family after their beloved dog passed. As a client, Jen has been ultra-impressed not only by the care her animals receive, but by the friendly notes and photos from our team. She recalls in particular a photo of her Siamese relishing being brushed by the caregiver. A former dancer and yoga teacher, Jen enjoys gardening and playing the piano, and doing nightly crosswords with her husband.

Belinda is a registered nurse and a licensed funeral director by profession.

Jon: Pet Care Specialist / Schedule Watcher

Jon and Belinda spearheaded our active retiree program, giving retirees a chance to exercise, be engaged in the community, and have the joy that animal, unconditional love brings. 

Jon has years of experience with pets; we often refer to him as the “Dog Whisperer”.  Dogs who are shy and not so “people friendly” seem to love him!
