Zackary J. Pet Care Provider in Villas, NJ 08251

A current biology student who has been fascinated and delighted by animals my whole life, I promise to treat every animal under my care with close attention and copious affection. Animals' needs go beyond this simple basics of food, water, and hygiene. Providing love, entertainment, and enrichment for pets is equally important, and something I not only have experience doing, but have a real passion for.

The pets I've owned over the years include many cats, mice, gerbils, rats, a crab, a snake, and a turtle, but I have plenty of experience handling every type of animal listed on my profile. I've worked in and volunteered for animal shelters for many years, and spent a 3 month internship at a veterinary hospital and kennel in the summer of 2014. Most recently I have had the pleasure of caring for a large variety of tarantulas, some cockroaches, millipedes, butterflies, and praying mantises at my job as a maintenance worker at Cape May Point State Park. There's no animal, big, small, furry, or scaly, that I don't adore.

As I am currently working from home on a research paper, (about the embryonic development of the turtle shell! fascinating stuff), my hours are incredibly flexible. As long as I have a few days of notice I can easily adjust my schedule to fit any client's needs.
