Cara Armour

Cara's life-long love of pets turned into a dream career in 2003 with her husband. They had met that same year at a dog park. Together they created Active Paws Inc., a professional pet care business based in the greater Boston, MA area. In 2009, she was awarded Pet Sitter of the Year, the industry’s highest honor awarded by Pet Sitters International. In that same year the company was awarded the Angie’s List Super Service Award, in 2011 the Tails Reader’s choice award, and in 2013, the Angie’s List Super Service Award again. Active Paws Inc. expanded into a grooming and holistic pet supply store, in addition to pet sitting.

Since 2003, she has been trained by the American Red Cross as well as several veterinarians in Pet First Aid and CPR. In 2011 she was ready to teach her own classes, so she completed an instructor training course and became a certified pet First Aid and CPR instructor. In 2016, when she discovered ProPetHero and how ProTrainings was bringing ER-veterinarian–instructed training to everyone, she knew she had to be a part of "that awesome" and joined the ProTrainings family, creators of ProPetHero.
