meet the Manager

Julie Lane

Julie Lane has made pets her life, working with them for 25 years. Having worked as a veterinary technician in a 24 hour critical care vet center, and has also managed veterinary hospitals and boarding kennels. Born and raised in Gilbert AZ, she has relocated back to Phoenix to be near her family and to manage our new Pet Paradise. Julie has two furry sons of her own, a yellow lab named Chester and a black lab named Colin. She also has one feathered girl, an amazon parrot named Blondie. Julie feels strongly that all pets should be cared for as she would expect her own to be cared for. Having an open door policy, she loves to hear from our guests parents about any subject they wish to discuss.  

meet the Assistant Manager

Amanda Staton

Amanda is an Arizona native and has always had a passion for pets. She started bringing strays home at a young age and knew she would someday work with animals. She started her own Dog Walking "business" at 14, and started working at a boarding facility as soon as she could.
 
After spending a year in Belgium with her husband Michael, she came home to find a new Pet Paradise opening up right down the street. She helped open the Phoenix location in October 2012, starting off as Kennel Staff and Customer Service Rep, and quickly worked her way up to the Resorts Assistant Manager in the beginning of 2013. When she is not working at Pet Paradise she is working for her and her husband's production company; where they are currently in the process of making a feature length documentary.
 
Amanda currently lives in North Phoenix with her husband, her Boxer Ali, and her Long haired Tabby named Kitty Galore. She expects many more to join the household soon!
