meet our founder
Hi, I’m Connor — the founder of Paws and Claws Pet Services Florida!
Since I was a child, animals have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up with cats and dogs, I was the one who wanted to care for every pet I could find — and before long, I became “the neighborhood pet sitter,” looking after everyone’s furry friends whenever they went away.
During my years in Girl Scouts, my love for animals only grew stronger. I had the chance to experience all kinds of animal adventures — from helping care for horses in a barn and learning about farm animals to meeting therapy dogs at local festivals and assisting with community pet events. Those moments taught me not only how to care for animals but also how much joy and comfort they bring into our lives.
My professional journey in pet care began in 2021, when I joined Keys and Collars, a pet sitting company based in Ormond Beach. Through that experience, I gained hands-on knowledge, learned the importance of reliability and trust, and truly mastered what it means to be responsible for someone else’s beloved pets.
After Keys and Collars closed, I decided to take everything I’d learned and turn my passion into something of my own. In 2024, Paws and Claws Pet Services Florida was officially founded — built on compassion, trust, and a lifelong love for animals.
Since then, I’ve built an incredible team of dedicated professionals who share that same passion and understanding of what quality pet care truly means. Together, we’re honored to care for your pets as if they were our own. Thank you for trusting us with your pets.
