Experienced animal pro with AZA exp
Pet care experience
My name's Melanie. I've been working with animals since 2002, first leading educational programs at the South Florida Science Museum, as a senior camp counselor, as a camp counselor/education instructor at Lowry Park Zoo from 2008 to 2014, and I've been leading overnight education programs for scouts and school groups at the Florida Aquarium since 2015. I have 8 years of experience working with animals in AZA accredited facilities. I'm also Certified Interpretive Guide. At the zoo, I underwent a Level 3 Screening and Background Check. (We all did). I'm a member of the Florida Association of Zoological Educators. I even helped launch a non-profit about native animals to the Tampa Bay area. I own a small business called the Triassic Media Group located in downtown Tampa. I'm married professional with a great credit score and solid reputation. I'm looking to make extra money to pay off a loan I took out to replace my roof. I love working with animals and they love hanging out with me, so I thought this was a great opportunity to do so. Additionally, I've rehabbed two rescues, one with burns and behavioral issues and another small dog with crushed leg bones that required surgical plates. I've undergone a tremendous amount of animal handling-training through my professional career with animals.
Reviews
Cash and Brooks are happy and tired. Thank you for taking good care of them and keeping in touch through the night.
Melanie was excellent! She won my dog's trust and took great care of her. She kept me informed and provided pictures everyday. I was definitely pleased with her service and would book her again!
