Heidi

Hi! I’m Heidi, a native of Tucson, AZ. While growing up, our family always had pets. Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, and Hamsters. As I matured and married (36yrs.) we decided to have a family. I have 3 wonderful children, and as they grew up, I wanted them to have a love for animals. So we added pets to our family right from the beginning. I decided, as a young mother, to start a daycare for children. I loved and nurtured these children for 12yrs. Our pets were part of their lives as well.

Hannah F

Hi, I’m Hannah! I’m a 4th grade teacher who absolutely adores animals. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and getting the opportunity to work with them is greatly fulfilling, alongside my teaching job. I have been with Paws and Critters since 2017, and am I loving every year here. During my free time, I enjoy hiking, yoga, skating, and spending valuable time with my loved ones.
