Pet Sitter in Ames, Iowa

Summary: My name is Hadley and I have a Bachelor's in biochemistry aiming for a Master's in Zoology/Herpetology. I have been taking care of a variety of animals since I was 6 years old. I personally own and have cared for dogs, ferrets, corn snakes, crested geckos, lizards (anole, bearded dragon, and mountain horned dragon), frogs, and fish. Description of Skills: I have experience administering oral medication to dogs and reptiles, as well as ear and eye medication to dogs. I can train dogs as well, have partaken in courses for over two years for such. Can work your dog in obedience, conditioning, drive, and agility (have agility equipment at my house). I also have worked at various shelters that tend to or specialize in dogs and cats or rabbits and rodents. I most recently worked at a pet store and provided personal care to dogs, small birds, parrots, rodents (including obscure ones like chinchillas and degus), many species of reptiles and amphibians (including those with more difficult care such as iguanas, monitors, tegus, and chameleons or lesser chameleons), several arachnids and scorpions, and both fresh and saltwater fish and corals. In regards to pet sitting specifically, I have cared for dogs of all sizes in both my home and the owner's home. I have cared for multiple ball pythons and crested geckos, as well as the occasional turtle, frog, or terrestrial gecko. I breed my own feeder insects also (mealworms and dubia roaches) so always have a fresh, gut loaded supply. Let's Connect: Email or text me through this website and I'll reply within the day.
