Pet care experience

Vet tech who loves animals

I’ve taken care of animals all my life! Ever since I was just 8 years old I had a passion to take care of all the beautiful fur babies in this world. I lived in Cuba the first few years of my life and me and my very supportive grandpa would rescue stray dogs and take care of them. I made him make a dog house right outside and would feed and bathe them. For 4 years I worked at a puppy store as a vet tech/store manger and always wanted a pet of my own but didn’t have the time to have one. Thanks to pet sitting i’m able to have the best of both worlds! Recently I decided to try new things and i’m currently working at a vet clinic as a vet assistant on my way to becoming a certified vet tech. I have lots of free time and will provide your baby with love and lots of attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very specious apartment with lots of room as well as a big outside area to walk your pet. I spend a lot of time at the park and will make sure to always leash your pet while i’m outside. I do not go to dogs park to keep your pet safe at all times as I don’t know how your dog or another dog will react so that’s not something you will ever have to worry about! If your pet is not friendly or reactive I don’t mind as long as i’m provided with the best way to handle your pet. Sometimes I will take care of more than one dog so please let me know beforehand if you’re not comfortable with that or if your pet is not friendly.

Meliza was wonderful! She was very helpful to come to our home for the meet-and-greet, seeing that this was our first time using her. She worked with us for an early drop-off of our fur-babies, to accommodate our travel plans, and was very communicative during our trip. Sending lots of pictures and updates. We will be using her again and highly recommend her as a caregiver.

Meliza was responsive, dependable, friendly, and patient with my dog for his stay. She was great at communicating and provided updates and pictures. The environment was very clean and comfortable, and my dog felt right at home! Would definitely recommend! :)

Meliza did a great job with our pets. She took care of them for a week while we were on a cruise. Despite our inability to communicate very much, she did a wonderful job. She followed directions well. When we got back the pet areas were clean and tidy and our pets were happy and healthy. I'll definitely book her again.

I’m working part time and have a lot of free time to play with your furry babies. I love going on a morning walk everyday right after meditating, I believe it helps me so much to get my day going. I also also enjoy evening walks and I love having a wonderful doggie to make those walks 10x better☺️

It’ll be great to know the behavior of the pet so i can make everything pleasant for them. As well as their eating and potty break routine. I can handle medication and any special care. Please make sure to bring your pets necessities like the bowls for food and water, their leash, and bed if possible.
