Melanie is interested in developing a background in grooming after graduating in 2027 in order to assist in grooming my clients' pets!
I focus on developing connections with the families I work with, as well as their pets. That being said, I keep families in the loop with their pet care and offer guidance for their care. I understand that it is nerve-wracking to leave your animals and house alone with a stranger, and so I love making families feel confident and secure when they are away.
Personal
Background
n
Art: Melanie is a student artist at Montclair State University, receiving a BA in visual arts, a minor in psychology, and a concentration in education. I constantly like to explore new things and am open to switching my career to explore the art world to the fullest. I intend to sell my own work and become a tattoo artist once I graduate, on top of continuing to expand my pet care business.
Current Pets: While I grew up with many pets, currently we only have three! I have my own Angora Rabbit named Kirie. Kirie is expanding my knowledge of grooming as her wool gets wild and continuously grows until it is cut!
My sister also has two cats, Mabel and Elphie. While these girls are not mine, I love them as if they are my own.
These cuties will be plastered all over my social media as I spend most of my time with them when not servicing your animals
