Imani Dial-James is a face many of you are familiar with - new to the team in 2020, she had taken over a large part of the front desk duties but with the launch of the new dayschool program, her duties have shifted to working directly with your pups. You may be seeing less of her in the lobby but rest assured she’s still hard at work!
Imani is an animal lover through and through, beginning early in childhood with pet fish named Sneezy and Coughy. Her beloved childhood cat, Cloudy, would endlessly tolerate Imani’s antics including dressing him up in doll clothes. Cloudy taught her about the responsibility of caring for a pet and Imani quickly realized even the “icky” parts like cleaning the litter box could be enjoyable.
Imani began her career at PetCo in 2015 learning the basics of bathing & grooming and eventually added dog walking & sitting to her resume. In 2020 she joined the No Barks family and has been eager to continue her dog education ever since!
When she’s not busy caring for your furry family members, Imani enjoys dancing, playing games, reading and crochet. Her life revolves around her own crew of four legged family members including Princess Shuri Tiana Chaos, her standard poodle who loves everyone and everything (fun fact, Shuri was one of our first PupK puppies! You may remember seeing her make some appearances on our FB page), DJ Jazzy Jeff, a sassy, food loving lop-type rabbit, Stormageddon Dark Lord of All AKA Squirelmageddon, a black cat with the personality of a mischievous kitten, and Tristen, her tabby cat who loves to snack on the rabbit’s hay. Imani has some of the best pet names!
