Sydney has loved animals for as long as she can remember. Growing up surrounded by pets of all kinds, she’s always been fascinated by their unique personalities and the joy they bring to our lives. Her lifelong passion for animals has led her to a career where she gets to spend every day caring for and connecting with them. Sydney believes every pet deserves kindness, patience, and a little extra love. She enjoys helping people find the best for their furry (and not-so-furry) family members and is always happy to share her knowledge and experience.

Outside of work, Sydney loves spending time with her goofy dog, Cooper. The two can often be found going for drives, exploring trails, or taking a swim on warm days.

Born in Vancouver and raised in Halifax!  Sarah is crazy about animals and when she was a kid she would always tell people she would work with them someday.

Jordan grew up in Lunenburg, NS and moved to the Dartmouth for school. While obtaining her Bachelor’s of Science she decided to work with dogs because of her continuing love and passion for them.

When not at work she’s spending time with her dog Empire probably at the beach, hiking or hanging out reading. Empire is a foster fail…. or win! Empire is more then happy to call every person his best friend as long as your willing to give belly rubs. You can always find Empire ether zooming around over a stick, seaweed or snow or fast asleep. If you see him don’t forget that belly rub!

Dariya was born in Kazakhstan, a country that’s over 14 hours away from Canada by plane. She’s been in Canada for about five years now, with two of those spent in college. Her love of dogs and her dream of working with them is what brought her to Jollytails—and maybe missing her beloved border collie, Boston, who stayed back in Kazakhstan, had something to do with it too!

When Dariya’s not at Jollytails, she loves hanging out with friends, playing board games, and just having a great time. She’s always up for an adventure—whether it’s hiking, heading to the beach, or enjoying some solo time outdoors!

Give a Jollytails welcome to Alexandra! Anytime Alexandra was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up she said, “a zookeeper or a vet!”, but that didn’t go to plan. She took a Bachelors of Science at MSVU, then a Bachelors of Education at Acadia University.

Animals have always played a big part of her upbringing - from hamsters, to bunnies, to rats or cats. She’s spent over two decades living in Eastern Passage & during her time in Wolfville, she started pet sitting which furthered her love for dogs. When she’s not working she enjoys; crafting, baking, modelling/photography, as well as spending time with her 4 cats, and hamster, Bean.
