Today is a Nonie's Record!

​Nonie’s Pet Care, LLC
Our Biggest Milestone Yet
July 20, 2023
 
On July 20, 2023, we broke a record, we reached an impressive milestone of 1,002 visits for the month of July, and there are still days to go. Words cannot express the overwhelming sense of pride I feel in this moment. I am immensely grateful for my incredible team made up of degreed Vet techs and experienced pet handlers of all kinds. As the owner, there is no greater satisfaction than reaping the rewards of our hard work, meticulousness, and dedication to providing the best possible care for our clients and their beloved pets. The countless photos we provide, showcasing the happiness and playfulness of our furry clients, fill our hearts with joy.
 
It's hard to believe that I started as a sole proprietor in Old Metairie back in 2011, and now we have grown to a team of 14, serving not only Metairie but also New Orleans, Kenner, Elmwood, Jefferson, Harahan, and River Ridge. The journey hasn't been without its challenges. Dealing with computer glitches, staff shortages, adverse weather conditions, personnel issues, and ensuring the well-being of everyone during impending hurricanes has tested our resilience. I have personally sacrificed vacations and even a haircut for two years (yes, a haircut!). I've had to replace the engine in my vehicle after reaching a dog in the midst of a flood. Many sleepless nights have been spent caring for sick or post-surgical pets in need of our assistance. I have provided support and guidance to clients faced with difficult decisions and have even taken on the responsibility of managing the end-of-life process for them when they felt overwhelmed.
 
I can honestly say that I have the best team one could ask for. Together, we have worked through low grade hurricanes, worked tirelessly in the aftermath of disastrous weather events, and stood by our incredible first responders and medical professionals who stayed behind, caring for their pets without electricity or water. We have endured injuries, always putting the needs of the pets first. We have proudly nurtured fearful dogs and cats, shown love to aggressive dogs, and rescued and treated sick feral cats. The variety of species we care for, now, has expanded immensely. Proudly, I have established a Special Needs Unit, with a small team providing round-the-clock care for pets recovering from surgery or illness, offering wound care and assisting with complicated medication administration for clients who may be anxious about handling it themselves. Our Special Needs Unit collaborates closely with local veterinarians, ensuring seamless home care for their patients.
 
Our Mission is to provide every Nonie’s Family with every possible service to help their lives become a little easier and happier. My team and I share in both the hard work and the immense joy that comes from making a pet healthier, happier, and less fearful. We pour our hearts into everything we do, whether it's cleaning up after them in their yards, changing wound dressings, or bringing them home from the groomer. When we step through their front doors and are greeted with excitement, love, and the knowledge that we are there solely for them, we can rest easy knowing we have fulfilled our purpose. Our hearts continue to grow with each passing day, fueled by the unwavering dedication to our work and the boundless love we receive from our furry companions.  Although we are exhausted, at the end of the day our lives have been blessed by the work that we do. We may smile as we lay our heads on our pillows at night and sometimes, sometimes, a happy tear finds its way onto our pillowcases as we reflect on the pets that we loved that day.
