Paula Barbour
Hi, I’m Paula. I arrived in Aiken in April 2024. My husband and I, along with our dog Molly and cat Cody, decided it was time for a better quality of life and found our forever home in Aiken. My husband closed his commercial printing business and is now semi retired and works at Lowe’s supermarket. I co-own a large private car service on Cape Cod and now work part-time running the daily scheduling from Aiken. From the moment we saw Aiken on our search for a new home, Aiken felt like a comfy old sweater. It just fit. I am also a registered volunteer at the SPCA Albrecht Center for animal welfare. I’m looking forward to helping you in the care of your fur babies.

My name is Amber Padgett and I live in Aiken!! For the past few years I have been working in Adult Healthcare Services along with Pet Care Services. Working with animals is something I highly value, as it is a passion of mine and a rewarding job. I have great experience working with all kinds of animals, but especially with dogs, horses, and cats! I enjoy kayaking, rock climbing, and hitting the gym. I have a three legged dog, she loves to go on hikes with me, nothing slows her down. I also own a tabby cat who is full of attitude but very loving. In my background working with and also caring for animals and clients, it has given me a deep understanding of how to give quality service and care. My favorite quote is “The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man” – Charles Darwin.
