Destiny Elliott was born and raised in Fayetteville, NC. Growing up, she had a huge love for animals so once she moved to the Garner area in 2016, working for Carolina Ranch immediately became her biggest goal. She initially hired on with interest in eventually transferring to treatment to utilize her veterinary assisting certificate. While working in the kennel, she quickly discovered doggy daycare, and instantly knew she had found her perfect career path. Destiny loves that the Dogwarts daycare program enables her to form lasting relationships with each of her students and she adores being able to watch their personalities shine. She truly loves each of the daycare students as if they were her own. In her first year and a half, Destiny quickly worked her way from daycare attendant, to shift lead, to assistant supervisor for Zach Williams, and then to Daycare Supervisor (where she has been for the last 6 years). When she accepted the position as Daycare Supervisor, Destiny made it her mission to continue to grow and develop the program into one that is not only safe, but fun for both the dogs and their parents.

Outside of work, Destiny loves spending time with her family and friends. She has multiple “fur” babies of her own: a dog named Ellie, a cat named Witchie-Boo, and ball-python named Ghost.
