Vet Tech Who Loves Animals

I’m a veterinary assistant with over 15 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, and caring for pets has always been something I genuinely love. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, routines, and needs so they can feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I believe pets deserve patient, loving, hands-on care and to be treated with kindness and respect. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, senior, or needs a little extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel cared for, relaxed, and loved. I also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for both your pet and your home. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always treat your space with care and respect. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in compassionate, capable hands. Anything you need, I’m always happy to help.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet with patience, attention, and respect for their individual needs and routines. In a client’s home, I try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible by following their normal feeding, walking, play, and medication schedules. I spend quality time with each pet so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. In my home, pets are given a calm, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and rest. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, especially with my experience as a veterinary assistant. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel connected and reassured while their pet is in my care.

10/10 recommend Markelle! ? She’s so sweet & reassuring, & she took amazing care of Milo. Milo is a really anxious pup who’s still working on his training, but she had so much patience with him & gave him so much attention. She also sent me pictures & updates of him daily, which always made me feel better about being way! Thank you again Markelle!! ?

Izzie had a blast! I received pictures of their daily adventures and chill times. Markelle took incredible care of Izzie's high energy needs and she was super easy to coordinate with. Great communication and care. My little pup came home happy content and tired. Many Thanks Markelle!

Markelle was really sweet and I trust that Rigby was in good hands on her multi-day stay. I would definitely use Markelle again.

Markelle is fantastic, I left Aussie with her for 9 days and Aussie loves Markelle! She’s great with Aussie and takes her for lots of exercise.

Markelle did a great job hosting Murphy over the weekend! I loved how she sent many updates and pictures so I didn’t have to worry how Murphy was doing while I was gone. Thank you:)

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I go on daily walks with the animals in my care and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to do check-ins as often as needed and can make accommodations based on your pet’s routine, energy level, or any special care they may need. I always aim to keep pets comfortable, happy, and as close to their normal routine as possible.

I like to know about your pet’s personality, routine, energy level, and any special needs ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. It’s helpful to know things like feeding schedules, medications, favorite activities, fears or triggers, how they do around other animals or people, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe. I want to make sure your pet’s routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away.
