The Staff:
One of the requirements of becoming a staff member at Camelot is a passion for animals. All new employees, experienced or not, are trained using Camelot’s customized training program which includes: Pet Handling, Pet CPR & First Aid, Animal Behavior, and Animal Psychology. The training program provides the vital skills required to deliver personalized attention and care for all Camelot guests.
Jennifer and Lindsey, our Owners both live on-site at the resort.
Jennifer purchased Camelot in 1999. After years of travel and a lifetime of adventure, the decision to settle down and build roots was a no-brainer for Jennifer. With a background in hospitality and hotel management, the idea of owning a pet resort was a creative venture that would allow her to utilize her skills. Her past military service driving her passion for quality provides her customers with the most professional care available. Her dream of owning a Bed & Breakfast lead to Camelot being run more like a Bed & Biscuit rather than a kennel. Her warm heart compliments the needs of her furry four-legged guests perfectly. Jennifer is excited to step into retirement and her next adventures. She can still be found making holiday treats and tending to her garden.
Lindsey was 5 years old when Jennifer bought the Camelot. She grew up playing with the dogs after school, birthing puppies, working with our trainers, and her own dogs. She worked most of her teenage summers here behind the scenes. Growing up at Camelot has given her a unique perspective on the resort and its guests. Her love for the animals lead her to the University of Florida for her bachelor’s degree. In 2019, she decided to come back and manage the resort full time. She was able to bring a fresh perspective on the difficulties of finding reliable pet care for her own animals, while she was away. She is proud of our expansion projects and excited about the future of Camelot. She wears many hats including our COO and Dog Trainer, Pet CPR and First Aid Instructor, Midwoof and Yoga instructor. She has 6 dogs of her own at home and 2 cats.
Our favorite part of the day is when a returning client walks in the door with a look of relief to have arrived. Even better, is the happy tail wagging greeting we get from the returning pets who we know by name.
Camelot relies on a full staff to provide the loving, 24-hour, stress-free environment our clients deserve. This is achieved by the team effort our staff provides behind the scenes every day. Our consistent staff and emphasis on communication is a integral part to Camelot’s success.
