Animal lover for life!

Pet care experience

My love for animals developed at a very young age. At 2 years old, I would go to my grandmother's house and she always would feed the stray cats that surrounded her home, along with her 3 cats she owned. Seeing her love and affection for animals made me want to do the same. My experience over the years with animals is extensive and tends to reflect my passion for them. I started volunteering for the ASPCA assisting veterinarians during surgeries and keeping a sanitary environment for them. Later, I began working at the Philadelphia Zoo and was there for 2 years. My responsibilities included providing customers with pony, camel, and horse rides and making sure the animals all were fed and groomed. I have also worked at Bryn Mawr Veterinary Hospital as a kennel attendant observing the dogs' behavior and cleaning their runs. I then worked at Philly Pet Hotel and Villas. I was responsible for walking dogs (of various breeds) and making sure each and every one them had a clean run to stay in. In my spare time, I enjoy doing Rover and have developed long-term relationships with my clients and their "babies" through regular contact since 2016. So one could definitely say I'm used to being around animals all day, and I LOVE it. I do offer nail trims as of now. So if you’d like your pets’ nails trimmed I could do it at an additional charge of 12 dollars!

I was thoroughly impressed with Imani's professionalism. She was patient, friendly, and accommodating. She was incredibly professional in all interactions, from the initial meet-and-greet to the duration of the stay. I could tell based on Chester's demeanor after the trip, he was treated well. However, I would like to suggest an area for improvement regarding the frequency of photo updates/ communication. While she did send occasional photos, I would have liked more frequent photos/updates and she wasn't available during the scheduled pick-up time, which wasn't communicated until the day of pickup. Overall, Imani did a great job and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to watch your furry friend!

Imani responded promptly to our request and has lots of experience taking care of dogs! Our pup loved her from the start and we felt comfortable getting updates and photos that things were going well. Thank you!
