Pet care experience

Worked with many animals

I’ve been responsible for my own dogs since I was ten years old. I’d walk them, clean up after them, and feed them. I also have a pet turtle and have had tarantulas and a leopard gecko as well, so I’m not scared of bugs or reptiles. In the summer of 2024 I also helped bottle feed five orphaned kittens and helped raise them up to 8 weeks old. From September of 2024 to the end of July if 2025 I worked as a Cat Caretaker at Rescued Treasure’s Cat Cafe in Las Vegas under the organization PALNV. There I got comfortable cleaning after cats, giving them medications, and feeding them as well. I’d often run the front desk and inform people about our organization and cats in general. I also have volunteered 346 hours at PALNV doing the same tasks as when I worked there. I’ve gotten 107 hours volunteering with Horses4Heroes as well, working with livestock. This included mucking stalls, feeding the animals, and showing kids how to lead miniature horses.

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable giving medications to animals and comfortable walking most dogs. I love both cats and dogs, and would be happy to sit for both. At my house we have timed feedings as well as free feeding at other times, so I can do either.

Shelby is my daughter, so no bias here. Throughout her entire life we have had pets in the house. 3 to 4 dogs at a time; Beagles, Chiweenies, Terriers, even a Carolina Dog. We have had Guinea Pigs, Aquatic Turtles, Leopard Geckos, and Tarantulas. While visiting her grandmother, she discovered a litter of 5 baby kittens only a day or two old, abandoned by a stray cat. She nursed and raised those kittens, feeding them with a syringe every two hours and keeping them clean and healthy for weeks. All 5 survived and were eventually rehomed. She has volunteered multiple summers and was employed by PALS NV, and has volunteered at a Horses for Heroes ranch where she cared for horses, cows, goats, and more. With every pet we have ever owned, kept, fostered, still have!!!! and every type of animal she has worked with, she is the one who researches how to keep them healthy and happy and then does the work to make sure they stay that way. She is hard working, responsible, sensitive, and caring. I would recommend her working with any animal, sick or healthy, large or small.

Schedule

I love animals and plan on applying to veterinary school after I graduate from the University of Nevada, Reno. I am a full time student in my second year, so pet sitting and walking will have to be around my school hours. But I’m free Fridays after two and on weekends. I am in the dorms though, so I don’t have a place to keep animals at.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Shelby can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I’d prefer if someone gives me info on the animal’s behavior. If they are aggressive with people or other animals I would need to know. Any medical problems would be nice to be aware of too for emergencies.
