Meet Our Team
|
Owners Brandon and Kayleigh are both from Upstate New York and have been apart of the Cape Coral Community since 2015. They are no strangers to hard work, and with determination opened a total of 7,200 sq. ft. of fun for your dogs! Offering services in dog boarding, dog daycare, and Grooming.
Kayleigh was a Veterinary Technician for 9 years, and a Professional Pet sitter for 8 years. In Kayleigh’s years of working as a Technician, it trained her to offer unlimited care within her Pet Sitting business. Her dream job would be to open her own pet resort. This would include a fun, safe environment for dogs to come play, interact, but also cater to all personalities and needs that she has seen come through a veterinary setting that require a little more patience and TLC. Brandon comes from a business background where he assisted in managing and operating his long running family business for 30 years, Thunder Island; an entertainment facility consisting of a water park, amusement rides, indoor banquets and events. Brandon grew up learning to design, build, open and operate, various levels of the business from his father and mother, and would later become an integral part of that business. Being the 4th generation of entrepreneurs, it was only natural for Brandon to venture into unfamiliar territory. This well experienced partnership would evolve to create a business that they both could enjoy doing. The man who would carry on family tradition, and a woman with a dream and pet industry experience. |

Meet Fennady!

Meet Sheldon!
Position: Boss Dog
Hi I am Sheldon! My parents built me the best pet resort in town. I love all my friends that come to Tiki Tails and cant wait to play every single day. I sometimes have to howl to quiet my friends when they're being to loud, you'll see me doing so in all the videos on our Facebook stories. Someone has to do the bossy work sometimes, but back to play per usual after. I like in my free time to nap hard, and steal my parents bed to do so. I love to bother my cat siblings when I am not napping and watch over the water in my backyard. Treat time are my favorite too!
