🐾 And just like that, another month is in the books! 🐾

August has been filled with wagging tails, happy purrs, medication schedules, playtime, cuddles, walks, and so many wonderful pets who welcomed me into their homes. ❤️

I’m incredibly grateful for every client who trusts me with their pets and their homes while they’re away. Being able to care for your animals is something I never take for granted!

Thank you to everyone who booked with me, referred me to a friend, left a review, or continues to support my small business. It truly means more than you know. 🐶🐱

Here’s to a new month filled with more happy pets, new friendships, and plenty of tail wags!

Thank you for allowing AniMel’s A.R.C. Pet Services to be part of your pets’ lives. 🐾

❤️ Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Today is all about celebrating the dogs who make our lives happier, messier, louder, and SO much better. 🐶

Whether they’ve been by your side for years, found you through rescue, are a foster, or are still waiting for their forever home.. every dog deserves to feel loved, safe, and cherished. 🥹🐾

Here’s to the goofy smiles, wagging tails, zoomies, muddy paws, endless cuddles, and unconditional love they give us every single day. ❤️

💙 Meet Maverick: One of the Sweetest Boys I’ve Had the Pleasure of Caring For! 🐾

Ever since I started caring for Maverick, he has completely stolen a piece of my heart. 🥹 While he isn’t one of my personal cats, you would never know it by how much I love and adore this sweet boy!

Maverick has heart disease, which means keeping a close eye on him and documenting every part of his care is incredibly important. His food intake, water intake, treats, medications, and overall behavior are all things I pay very close attention to. 📝 Sometimes even the smallest change can be an important warning sign, and catching those changes early could make all the difference in preventing a serious situation or knowing when he may need veterinary or emergency care.

And through it all… Maverick is an absolute angel. 💙

He is one of the sweetest, gentlest boys I’ve ever met and makes caring for him such a joy. He willingly takes his medications and even his inhaler so easily.. like it’s no big deal! 😂He truly makes my job so much easier.

And of course, I can’t forget his brothers, Apache and Binx! 🐱🐱🐱 I absolutely adore all three of these boys and cherish every moment I get to spend with them.

This is one of the reasons I love what I do so much. Pet sitting isn’t just about feeding animals and cleaning litter boxes. It’s about knowing their routines, understanding their individual needs, watching for subtle changes, giving medications, providing comfort, and treating every animal like they are your own. ❤️

Maverick, Apache, and Binx are three very special boys, and I’m so grateful that their family trusts me to care for them. 🥰

📸🐾 SELFIE TIME! 🐾📸

Let’s be honest… some of the best selfies aren’t with humans.. they’re with our furry clients! ❤️

Whether I’m lucky enough to sneak into the picture with them 🥰 or I’m patiently trying to capture THE perfect pose of the animals themselves, getting that perfect pet selfie is definitely an art! 📷🐶🐱🐰

Sometimes they’re ready for their close-up…
Sometimes they look away at the exact moment I snap the picture… 😂
And sometimes we get that PERFECT shot that makes all the attempts worth it! 🥹🐾

One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to capture these little personalities while their families are away. Every pet has their own unique way of posing, and I love documenting it all! ❤️

So tell me… which do you prefer? 👇

🐱✨ CAT FACTS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW! ✨🐱

We all know cats sleep a lot and love knocking things off tables… but our feline friends are WAY more fascinating than that! 😻 Here are some facts that might actually surprise you:

🦷 Cats have a “spare” set of teeth waiting to grow in! Kittens have baby teeth that are replaced by their adult teeth, just like humans. If you’ve ever found a tiny kitten tooth, you found a little piece of their growing-up process! 🥹

👃 Cats have a special scent-detecting organ in the roof of their mouth. It’s called the Jacobson’s organ, and you may see a cat open its mouth slightly and make a funny face when using it to analyze interesting smells. That expression even has a name: the flehmen response!

🐾 Cats have whisker-like sensory hairs on the backs of their front legs! These are called carpal vibrissae and can help cats detect nearby objects and movement. They’re easy to overlook because they aren’t nearly as noticeable as the whiskers on their face!

👅 A cat’s tongue is covered in tiny, backward-facing structures called papillae. They’re made of keratin and feel like little hooks. That’s why a cat’s tongue feels so rough—and why they’re so good at grooming themselves! 😳

💓 A cat’s heart can beat incredibly fast—sometimes around 140–220 beats per minute. That tiny little body is working HARD! ❤️

🧠 Cats have a remarkable ability to learn routines. They can anticipate things like meals, playtime, and when their person usually comes home. So yes… your cat probably knows exactly when dinner is supposed to happen. 😂

🐈 Cats can have individual paw preferences! Some cats show a preference for using their left or right paw, especially when reaching for or manipulating objects. Basically, cats can have a dominant paw just like we can have a dominant hand! 🐾

😻 And here’s one of my favorites: Cats can recognize their owner’s voice, but they don’t always feel the need to respond. 😂 So when you call your cat and they look directly at you before walking away… they may have heard you perfectly well.

Cats really are such fascinating little creatures. The more you learn about them, the more you realize there’s SO much going on behind those adorable faces! 🐱❤️

🐾 LET’S PLAY CATCH-UP! 📸

I’ve been VERY behind on posting, so it’s time to introduce you to some of the amazing animal friends I’ve gotten to care for over the last couple of months! 🐶🐱🐾

I’ll be posting pictures and turning it into a little “guess who?” game! 👀

Think you know their name? Their personality? Maybe even who their owner is? 😂

Drop your guesses in the comments and let’s see who recognizes these faces!

And if you spot your own fur baby, make sure you say hi! ❤️🐾

First picture coming up… who do you think it is? 👀

PSA / Scheduling Update

Just a little heads-up for all of my pet parents — I will be away on Sunday, September 13th for the majority of the day!

I do have a few morning visits that I’ll complete before I head to Atlanta to go to a Braves game. Baseball is honestly one of the very few things I will actually travel away for. I’m not much of a traveler because it brings me way too much anxiety and stress, and I genuinely prefer staying close by so I can be available for the animals I care for. Baseball and football are pretty much the exceptions. 😂

I will be available the days before and after, but there will be no availability after my morning visits on September 13th. I just wanted to give everyone plenty of notice so you can make any arrangements or backup arrangements you may need ahead of time.

Also, here are a few pictures of some of the amazing animals I’ve had the pleasure of caring for lately! I’m very behind on posting pictures, so I figured I’d take this opportunity to share some of my furry friends while also giving everyone this scheduling update.

Thank you all for being so understanding and for trusting me with your pets. I appreciate every single one of you! 🐾 🐱

💰 A QUICK NOTE ABOUT MY PRICING

For those wondering why I don’t have a set price list posted on my page, that’s intentional! 😊

Because I travel throughout Chattanooga and the surrounding areas, my pricing is based primarily on location and the details of the visit, rather than simply charging per pet. I also don’t charge separately for every single animal you have, up to a reasonable number, of course! 🐶🐱🐰🐾

I prefer to have a conversation with each owner so I can understand exactly what you need and give you an accurate price based on your location and care requirements.

I also understand that times are tough for a lot of families right now. ❤️ If you reach out and the price is a concern, please don’t be afraid to communicate that with me. I always try my best to work with owners when I can while still making sure my business remains sustainable.

My goal is to keep my regular pricing as fair and affordable as possible while continuing to provide the quality, dependable care that your pets deserve. 🥰

🐾 Let’s have some fun! 😂

If your pet could talk for just ONE minute, what’s the FIRST thing they’d say? 👇

Mine would definitely be…

🐶 Levina: “Can we PLEASE go see my friends? It’s been FOREVER!” 😭🐾

Meanwhile… she literally sees most of her dog friends 5 days a week and still acts like it’s been a year since their last reunion. The level of drama is unmatched. 😂🤣

Your turn! What would your pet say? Bonus points if you share a picture of your little drama queen or king! 📸❤️🐾
