Heather Carelli – Owner/Alpha: Inspired by her dog Rodney, Heather opened Woof! Play Care in August of 2005. She left a successful marketing career to open, what she hoped would be, the perfect dog home away from home.
In preparation for the opening of her business, Heather studied dog behavior, dog training and animal first aid. Her extensive study included educational certificates from the American Boarding Kennel Association and The American Red Cross. She also completed Ian Dunbar’s Canine training courses I & II and an internship with the late Dr. Charlie Steiner DVM.
Heather’s vision was a place where dogs would always be able to act like dogs. She believes that socialization, plenty exercise and consistency are key to raising a happy, healthy dog.
Angie Muzzone – General Manager: Angie Nuara has been with Woof! Play Care since 2004. Angie’s key responsibility is to interact with dog parents and make sure that they, and their dogs, are happy with the service they get at Woof! Angie, a proud mother of three dogs herself, understands the challenges of being a good dog parent. She works hard to help people improve the relationship with their dogs. While Angie is great with any dog, she has a place in her heart for the little guys. Chihuahuas, Yorkies , shih tzus or little mutts, Angie is like a foster mother to all of them.
Jodi Doyon – Daycare Queen: Jodi has been with Woof! since 2006. Jodi had worked in other dog care facilities before, but was drawn to Woof! Play Care because of the cageless , dog friendly environment. Jodi loves all dogs but especially enjoys spending time with “ the big guys”. From Manti ,our 190 pound great Dane, to Romeo a 75 pound lab mix to Cosmo the giant Standard Poodle, Jodi can handle them all and knows the importance of
teaching them good manners. Jodi loves spending time in the outside play yard throwing the tennis balls, spraying everybody with the hose, and carrying Rufus the white boxer around on her back. Jodi is truly a dog lover.
Jennifer Vanderwarker – Expert Groomer: Jennifer has been with Woof! Play Care since 2006. Jennifer has been a successful dog groomer for over 12 years. Early in her career, Jennifer received her education in veterinary assisting. She worked for a popular South Florida veterinarian as his “right hand” person for seven years. After deciding to make a change from her career as veterinary technician, Jennifer decided to open her own business and moved into dog grooming full time. Family commitments moved her to Brevard County where she continues to make dogs beautiful.
Pat Stoner – Expert Dog Groomer: Pat has been with Woof! Play Care since 2006. Along with her husband Ted, a professional dog trainer, Pat owned and operated a popular Brevard County dog care facility for nearly 20 years.
Though Pat had many responsibilities, her passion was grooming. After selling her successful business and simplifying her life, Pat decided to come to work for Woof! Now Pat can spend her time doing what she loves to do without the responsibly of business ownership…smart!
Eric and Gary have been the “class clowns” of Woof! Play Care for over three years – though they take their
responsibility of getting dogs clean very seriously. They spend their mornings goofing off with the early arrivals and then they roll up their sleeves and get to work with the shampoo and conditioner. These guys are serious about clean!
Kim has been with Woof! Since 2005. Kim loves everyone and everything. She comes in like a mother hen and coddles over all the dogs. She sometimes has a hard time with discipline, but she makes up for it with love
