April Cox
April is originally from Pittsburgh, PA, and has loved animals her whole life. April believes that as the owner of Rocky’s Retreat, the best way that she can serve our clients- both furry and human, is to be hands on. April is our Senior Hydrotherapist and loves swimming with the dogs- whether it’s teaching them how to swim, working on recovery or general fitness, or just a good old-fashioned game of fetch.
Eva Chacon
Joining us all the way from Venezuela, Eva is one of our Certified Canine Hydrotherapists. She saw firsthand the benefits of hydrotherapy with her beloved dog-daughter, Luna, and has dedicated her own life to dogs’ health and well-being. She loves seeing dogs improve in the water and considers it a great personal blessing. Hablamos Espanol: Si tu perro necesita aquaterapia, pero te preocupa porque Ingles no es tu primer idioma, Eva habla Espanol y puede ayudarte.
Max DeMarco
Max is one of our kennel techs and helps us around the building with minor maintenance and repair. He’s also training to be a hydrotherapist. Growing up in a small town in the snowy mountains of New Hampshire, he loved to hike, camp, and swim with all of his fur friends that he grew up with. After falling in love with Central Florida, Max and his wife decided to move here in 2017 and make it their home. After over a decade in the service industry, he decided to change careers and pursue his passion with pups. Max is thrilled that he decided to chase his dreams and couldn’t be happier with his decision.

Growing up she has always had a passion for caring for animals and puts that passion into the work she does here at Rocky’s Retreat. Syl’Quala is so happy to be a part of the team here.
