Twyla, Daycare Supervisor
Twyla was born and raised on the Peggys Cove Road and currently shares her home with a wonderful dog of her own, Buddy. She has always wanted to work with dogs her entire life and being a part of the Jollytails team has made that dream a reality. She is excited to have the opportunity to do something she absolutely LOVES for many years to come!
jenah, daycare attendant
Jenah was born in Great Village and has been raised there and in Debert for the first many years of her life. She's always lived with many different types of animals like chickens, ducks, bunnies, iguanas, etc. She has had many dogs and has always loved animals.
While exploring career paths she always had a huge interest in animal care. As a child, she would always tell her Mom she was going to be a dog breeder! She enjoyed learning new things about animals and worked around pets for years often trying to help educate people about them.
Once Jenah found Jollytails she was thrilled to be able to join their team as this was a dream job for her.
angie, groomer
Angela spent all of her life fanatical about dogs, and other pets, growing up alongside many animals. In 2005 Angela moved to Calgary, Alberta and worked in animal retail. In 2009, she began working as a bather/brusher, and she liked it so much she decided to become a dog groomer. Shortly after graduating from grooming school in 2010 under certified master groomer Jeanette Embree, Angela was hired by her teacher to work at “A Royal Touch” (Calgary, AB). In 2011, Angela began work at “Hair of the Dog” (Calgary, AB), under master groomer Michelle Skinner. Angela credits her knowledge and skills to both of her former mentors, and is looking forward to acquiring new experience at Jollytails in Atlantic Canada. While Angela enjoys working with all breeds of dog, some of her favourites to groom include: Pomeranians, Shelties, Poodles and Yorkies. Angela is a proud owner of several amazing dogs: Her two lovely Pomeranians, Vixie and Cricket, Indigo, her Australian cattle dog, and Elvira, her Standard Poodle.
