Pet Sitting Howard Beach

About: I grew up with a medium sized dog and have watched my neighbor’s dog when they were on vacation since I was young. I especially enjoy shy dogs and big personalities. I’m currently working part-time, and have the most availability in the mornings and evenings and over weekends. I try to keep my schedule up to date. I provide regular check ins with photos of your pet and details on how they are doing. I follow detailed and specific instructions very well.

About: I have over 10 years of experience in veterinary medicine, including specialty practice, so I’m comfortable recognizing changes in a pet’s behavior or health and can provide an extra level of attention that gives pet parents peace of mind. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, including administering oral medications, following detailed care instructions, and accommodating pets with medical conditions or special needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, so I take the time to build trust, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around making sure pets receive consistent care, exercise, meals, and attention. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or evening cuddles, I prioritize keeping each pet on their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Because I work in veterinary medicine, I’m organized, dependable, and used to following detailed care instructions. I make time every day to provide individualized care and regular updates to pet parents, so they can feel confident their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while they’re away. My priority is creating a safe, calm, and stress-free environment while keeping pets on their normal routine. In a client’s home, I carefully follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household rules so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I always make sure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure before walks and keep a close eye on each pet during outdoor time. I believe communication is just as important as great care, so I provide regular photo updates and check-ins to keep pet parents informed and give them peace of mind. With my veterinary background, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in a pet’s behavior or health and know when something requires immediate attention. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, caring for them as if they were my own.

About: I have taken care of pets from friends and family since I was 10 years old. Overtime, I have developed an ability to make dogs and cats feel at home and welcomed through proper time and attention, the key for anyone and any animal to feel loved. Changing wet pads, showering and bathing pets, running and playing with dogs, and cuddling with animals are second nature to me and I have years of experience doing each. Currently, I am working full time 9am-5pm during the weekdays. Outside of those hours, having the pet come with me on outdoor activities when weather allows and staying inside to lounge around are common. I usually see it as an excuse to keep active during my sedentary office lifestyle. Time in = trust out. Building trust and making your pet feel safe and sound is one of my main priorities. In order for that bond to exist, consistent attention and care is needed. From proper feeding, regular walking, and rigorous playing, pets in my care will return back to you in good spirits.

“Eleni was WONDERFUL with my 2 cats!!! I will definitely be hiring her again!!! Mochi has diabetes and requires an insulin injection every 12 hours in addition to another medication twice a week and Eleni was happy to learn and able to give Mochi his meds which can be a bit daunting and sometimes difficult depending on his mood. but Eleni was attentive and really took the time to learn and care for him properly! my other cat Kumo is a scaredy baby and rarely shows his face around people but Eleni was patient and really put effort into getting him comfortable with her. Eleni updated me with great details about how they’re doing and food. the weather was changing every day from being very cold and then very hot and Eleni proactively adjusted the thermostat accordingly when needed! she would turn on cat TV every couple days AND put treats in their treat games daily so they would stay occupied during the day. Mochi had an accident and Eleni didn't hesitate to clean it up and take out the trash. she really took care of everything!”

“Shanna did an amazing job caring for my cats while I was away on a much-needed vacation. From our initial meeting, my cats took to her right away, which was such a relief! She was very responsive and shared thoughtful, detailed updates in each Rover card. I genuinely looked forward to reading them after every visit. It was clear she cared for Skylar & Jackson as if they were her own. I was able to feel at ease during my trip because I knew they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

“Nichole is amazing! She was great at communicating when we were setting everything up and our cat warmed up to her very quickly; they were already cuddling by the second day! We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Nichole was taking care of our boy!”

“So happy we have Mary- she’s super reliable and came exactly when she said she would. Overall, couldn’t be happier with her care for our cat and am very thankful to have peace of mind when we are out of town.”

“Rhea was absolutely awesome with my boy Maverick. She was happy to do a meet n greet before the drop in and asked thoughtful questions so that she knew what to do. I got so many good pictures of Mav and great feedback from her during her drop in visits. Rhea did such a super job.”

Olivia C.

“Highly recommend Leah! We planned a pretty last minute day trip and Leah went out of her way to do a meet and greet with our dog Remy to make sure it was a good fit before we even booked her. She asked thoughtful questions and was very detailed in communications. It was clear she is great with animals from the moment we met. She put us at ease, being first time Rover users, and owners of a pretty anxious dog. Remy took to her right away which was very reassuring and a reinforcement of her experience and connection with animals. While we were away, Leah sent us photo and video updates of Remy and summarized the visits thoroughly in the Rover cards. Not only was she professional, but she also has a nice sense of humor (many of the photos and videos with comments made us LOL). We would definitely hire Leah again”
