JoEllen350Working with pets was always the dream job for lifelong pet owner Jo Ellen Haniford. Her pets were dogs and cats, one of which had several special needs. She knew that this experience was not enough to make that dream a reality. So after working in many different fields, all involving world-class customer service, sales and marketing, Jo Ellen felt it was time to put her plan into action. Her plan included professional pet care training and management for a nationally recognized pet hotel group. She was pet safety trained and certified for pet care after completing a comprehensive program. During this time she managed a staff of 30 pet caretakers, and would at times look after as many as 150 pets at a time. It was a demanding and challenging job, but so very rewarding. Pet people are the best, and they demand the best for their pet families. After several years and thousands of hours of experience, it was time for Jo Ellen to create her niche. Paw Prints Pet Care officially became a reality in 2013. It is our desire to provide personalized pet care services to meet the needs of your beloved pets.
