Around the building is the town in Mineola and Garden City so great for walking dogs and super dog friendly area!

“Michaela is truly a fantastic walker and sitter. She is professional, reliable and always goes above and beyond to make sure my pup has all his needs met. She shows up on time and ready to go and my pup is always so excited to see her that he wiggles his butt and spins around dancing when he sees her coming. He clearly loves his walks and time spent with Michaela. She is also really great for working with nervous/reactive dogs and knows how to make sure they feel safe and calm on walks. I highly recommend Michaela for any of your pup’s needs!”

Megan M.
“I’ve trusted Megan McCaffrey to care for my two dogs—a lively white shepherd and a sensitive, selective pitbull mix—and she’s been nothing short of amazing. Both girls have very different needs, and Megan handles them with grace, patience, and genuine affection. She keeps my shepherd active and engaged while offering calm, reassuring care to my pit mix, who’s often anxious around new people and just in general. Megan’s ability to read their moods and respond with the right energy is something I deeply value. My dogs adore her, and I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care. She is also fantastic with her own two high maintenance cats! Megan is reliable, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She treats my pets like family and brings a sense of calm and joy to every visit. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and capable pet sitter”

“I've known Emily for years, and there’s truly no one more reliable or trustworthy to care for anyone’s animals. With a background in animal science and years of hands-on experience in a professional setting, she’s incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. Animals are naturally drawn to her positive energy—it’s like they instantly feel safe. I’d trust her with my pets any day, without hesitation.”
Julia C.
“We are so thankful to have found Julia as a dog walker for our Meg. Julia is reliable, always shows up on time and likes to take long walks with our dog. And Meg loves her! Jumps for joy every time Julia appears. I would recommend Julia 100%!”
