Paige Wheeler

I am a recent graduate of the University of Staffordshire with over 8 years of experience working in hospitality across multiple roles. I am an energetic, capable team member who can quickly and efficiently adapt to new environments, allowing me to work brilliantly on my own or right alongside a team. I am highly organised, quick to please, very used to fast-paced environments, and proud of my great customer service.

More than anything, I am incredibly passionate about dogs. I love taking my own dog on the best adventures and traveling everywhere I can with her. I am eager to bring my proactive work ethic, experience with many behaviours, and genuine love for animals to your team to ensure every dog has the absolute best day!
