Imari’s love for animals started during her childhood where she dreamt of becoming a Veterinarian. Throughout her high school years she volunteered at Oakland’s SPCA which furthered her love for animals and led her to enroll in a vet tech program. In 2013, she worked as a Kennel supervisor at a day care and boarding facility for a little over a year before leaving to starting her vet tech program. After 4 internships and 1 externship at pet hospitals, in 2016, she graduated and officially became an animal nurse. While in vet tech school, she started dog walking and pet sitting and valued this intimate, happy time she was spending with animals. This inspired her to go to business school at California State University, East Bay where she received a Bachelors degree in Business Marketing and started her first business, Elite Pet Society. Proudly black woman-owned and operated.

The Elite Pet Society Difference

With over 6 years of experience in dog walking and pet sitting, you can rest assured knowing that your pet is in good hands. You wouldn’t trust your child with just anyone, the same goes for your pet. Imari prides herself on being responsible, communicative, and punctual. She also prides herself in the relationships and bonds she has with her clients and pets in her care. She has a sixth sense for anticipating your pet’s needs and has learned to correct unwanted behaviors in animals. If your pet needs to take insulin shots, medication, or requires any special attention, Imari has the knowledge and dedication to care for your little one. Her background in vet tech coupled with her love for animals makes her the best equipped person to care for your pet.
