  • Boarding
    Payton Lyle
    Kennel Lead/Veterinary Assistant

    I’ve called Carrollton, GA home for most of my life. I graduated from the University of West Georgia with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a two-year certification in Wildlife Ecology. My background spans a variety of biological fields—from microbiology lab work to conducting prescribed burns as part of fire ecology studies.

    Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, I cared for everything from dogs and cats to birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and even arachnids. Today, I share my home with my miniature dachshund, Tadpole, who is truly the center of my world.

    When I’m not working, you can usually find me outdoors enjoying one of my favorite hobbies—fishing.
