Kay Dameron has been working with animals from a young age and has dedicated her career to helping dogs and their people build strong, trusting relationships. In 2014, she began fostering for Austin Pets Alive and English Springer Rescue, where she quickly saw the powerful difference that thoughtful, science-based training can make—especially for dogs navigating change, stress, or new environments.

Kay is passionate about helping families better understand their dogs and believes that clear communication is the foundation of lasting behavior change. Her approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and focuses on building confidence, practical skills, and healthy relationships for both dogs and their guardians.

Adriena brings nearly nine years of animal care experience to Noble Pet Center. Her passion for working with animals began during her senior year of high school when she had the opportunity to work at an animal hospital as a kennel technician. That experience sparked her interest in animal care and eventually led her into dog training. Adriena has also worked as a pet sitter and has spent the past five years training dogs. She is currently working toward earning her CCPDT certification to further expand her training expertise.

Growing up, Adriena also gained experience caring for livestock—including pigs, steer, and chickens—which helped build a strong foundation in animal handling. Her favorite part of working in boarding and daycare is seeing dogs become comfortable with staff and watching their personalities shine during one-on-one playtime or group play.

Outside of work, Adriena enjoys swimming, watching movies, and spending time with her two dogs: Milo, a four-year-old Yorkie with a big personality who loves watching out the window, and Benji, a two-year-old rescue who starts off shy but quickly warms up and loves cuddles. Adriena approaches every pet with patience, allowing them to come to her at their own pace, and treats every dog as if they were her own.
