Hi! My name is Melanie, and I have professional experience working in the veterinary field as both a veterinary assistant and receptionist. Through my work in animal hospitals and shelters, I’ve gained hands-on experience assisting with patient care, handling pets of all temperaments, and supporting veterinary teams.

I’m comfortable monitoring pets’ health and behavior, administering medications, and caring for senior pets, special-needs animals, and pets recovering from surgery. My veterinary background allows me to recognize early signs of illness or discomfort so pets can receive prompt attention if needed.

I’m passionate about animal welfare and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s drop-in visits, pet sitting, or helping with medical care, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾
