Pet care experience

Animals are the absolute best!!!!

I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My personal pet journey started with hamsters and the kittens in my grandmother’s horse barn. As I grew older, my experiences grew to exotics such as ferrets and birds. Then in my young adulthood I became a receptionist for an animal hospital and an animal E.R. There I became a vet tech as well. I later became a tech for large animals. I also volunteered for a private zoo handling the large reptiles, lions and tigers, and the petting zoo. Oh my! After 15 years I could no longer work regular jobs. I became disabled due to the migraines I get. Along the way, I had my own reptile rescue, took care of diabetic cats and people, and rescued different dogs, cats, reptiles, rats, and birds that needed loved. Currently, I don’t have any dogs of my own. I lost her in August 2025. I do however live with my mom who has 2 small dogs in which I take care of every day. I have to feed them their raw diet twice daily. One of them is diabetic and requires insulin at feeding times which is on a regular schedule. The pets I do have at the moment include a sassy cat, a grumpy bearded dragon, my son’s hamster and rabbit, and a fish. Our Sun Conure passed away a couple of years ago. She was 27 years old. And when I say my son’s, I pretty much take care of them considering he’s 7. I’m willing to help with other animals as well as dogs and cats since I have experience with pretty much all animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure all doors are locked and clean up after your pet. I wash their dishes after feeding. I make sure they are happy and safe according to your guidelines. I treat them as if they were my own. I send pics usually to let you know how they’re doing. As far as walking and possible interactions, I avoid other people and animals, just to keep everyone safe. I don’t want another animal or person to harm your pet.

Mellony took great care of our puppies when we were gone! It was easier being away knowing she was there each day to visit with them.

Mellony helps me take care of my two precious Yorkies while I am at work or when I have to travel. She follows their eating schedule as well as administers medications to my older yorkie for her diabetes. I am very grateful for the love and support she gives them. I never have to worry when she takes care of them.

Schedule

I’m usually a stay at home mom so my hours are flexible. I’m mostly free from 8:30a.m. Until about 3p.m. Monday through Thursday. Friday I’m available only until 1:30p.m. Saturdays and Sundays could be possible depending on my mom’s schedule. I’m a single mom and she’s my only babysitter. If you don’t mind him tagging along - if your pets are kid friendly - then I’m absolutely available. He is very good with animals. But, I would prefer to be able to focus solely on your fur baby. I also currently work with Snipes Farm going to schools and teaching farm to table cooking. I also am part of taking care of their chickens, ducks, goats, and rabbits. I usually work with them 1 day a week or so. I know my schedule ahead of time so I can work around it accordingly.

Let me know if your pet doesn’t like going certain places. Are they skittish around new people? Do you prefer me to take them to a dog park? Do they have a habit of eating things they shouldn’t? Do they have favorite treats, toys, blanket? Also, I will not share photos of your pet on my profile without your permission to do so.
