Kobi is great! My dog has been transitioning to a new space and he has had a lot of anxiety. Kobi entered my apartment and sat down and waited for Henry to become comfortable! I really appreciated that and will continue to use her just for that small gesture. Thanks Kobi!

I booked Frankie to walk my Pitbull today and had a great experience. What really stood out to me right away was that, unlike other dog walkers, he didn’t ask to meet my dog beforehand or question his behavior. That gave me the impression that he’s confident in his skills and comfortable handling larger dogs of any temperament. My dog is very strong and Frankie handled him with no issues at all. He was on time, extremely friendly, and very communicative throughout the walk. I also appreciated the pictures he sent, which gave me peace of mind. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!

About: Hello! My name is Melissa. I am a lover of all animals and am hoping to add your furry family member to the list of pets that I’ve had the honor of meeting. I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life and took this one step further by adopting my own kitty, Leo, after moving out of my parents house. He is basically my child and my philosophy with pet sitting is to provide the same care to your pet as I would for him. I have further experience with dogs as during college, I spent three years as a club member for a club that raised service dogs in training. My role in this club was being a sitter, meaning I would watch the pups (ranging from 10 weeks to 2 years old) while their raisers were away. I would spend this time practicing commands with them, walking them or taking them on playdates with other pups in the programs, or snuggle with them at my apartment. These times were some of my best memories of college. I also still help my parents when I go home to visit with my childhood dog, Charlotte. She is 15 years old, partially blind and deaf, and requires multiple oral medications daily as well as numerous potty breaks. I have additional oral/eye/ear medication experience as well as general medical knowledge through my day job as a pediatric nurse. Another cool fact is that during college, I briefly volunteered at a wild life refugee and got experience with horses, raccoons, deer, and other cool animals. Like I said- I’m a lover of all animals. I am hoping to offer my services as a way to be around more animals while respecting my cats’ wishes to not have another in the house. If you think I may be a good fit for taking care of your furry family member, please feel free to reach out. I would love to provide any additional details needed :) I will be working full time as a nurse but given that I only work 3 days a week I will have a lot of availability. The days I work do change each week but I will know in advance what days I will be working. I will do my best to earn an animal’s trust in a way that makes them comfortable, so that they feel safe in their own environment and trust me while I’m around. Whether that means an animal warms up to me right away or needs awhile along with some space before I come close to them, I can adapt to either scenario. I would also like to know about any general hiding places the animal may have when they get anxious so that if I am having trouble finding them, I know where to look. This would all be stuff I would like to communicate about with the owner ahead of time so I feel confident while sitting for their pet.

About: I'm a extremely nuturing individual and have had the immense pleasure of caring for pets kittens to seniors/puppies to seniors for over 25 years. I'm very hands on and i very meticulously make sure they are both comforted as well as comfortable. You will find no one more skilled in being your pets caregiver. I'm currently not working! So I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups/kittens! I'm available for boarding weekdays all day. And weekends after 3. I can take your pups to a dog park and play as I do not have a fenced yard. Also I have a play room for kitty.

Alison was incredibly patient with my new rescue dog, Olive, who tends to need a bit of time to warm up to people. She took some time to give Olive some treats and get to know her prior to taking her out for the walk which was so appreciated! I am excited to have her take Olive on more walks.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats and everything in between. I take notice of allergies, dietary restrictions and everything else needed to keep your fury ones safe. I work as a content creator so I don’t have an office that I have to go to. If I commit to sitting for your pets, I will be with them the whole time. I care for pets in your home. I make sure that they have fun and also stick to the diet that you approved. If you only allow two treats a day, they only get two treats a day.

About: The cool aunt your dog deserves. I will hang out with your dog and make sure they stay active and happy. I am energetic for the dogs who need plenty of exercise but who knows how to cuddle or be lay back with the calmest dogs. All my friends and family dogs are basically my nieces and nephews from how much I spoil them and spend time around them (plenty of cuddle buddies are around me when I come over). Even though I enjoy being the cool aunt or Godmom, I will discipline them if they are doing something they know they are not supposed to do (this is not like when the teacher leaves and the substitute teacher is there for the day). If I'm lucky my terrible puns and jokes might put your dog to sleep after hearing them (not guaranteed to work on all dogs). Just working for Madison Square Garden as an usher during the day (7 hours at the longest). So before and after we are good to go. While I am at your place, I treat the place like mine. I will keep an eye on the mail and packages, make sure the pet does not eat my food (no matter how sad they try to look) and will be as close as possible to the pets schedule.
