About: Hi! I’m Mike! I live in Long Beach. I work in the city 3 days a week, but I can choose which days I go in. So, I can be flexible! A little about my background: I was a volunteer dog walker at the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh, NY for about 3 years. I would routinely walk strong dogs with a lot of energy and was involved in training them to walk better on leash. During the pandemic, while working from home full time, I became my neighbors dog walker for their Husky and 2 Chihuahuas because why not!! I walked them at least twice a day every day for almost 2 years. I don’t have a ton of experience taking care of cats, but I have friends and family that have cats. I’d be more than willing to help take care of your cats as well! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work in the city 3 days per week, but I can choose which days those will be. So, I can be flexible. If for whatever reason, you need to cancel, just let me know at least 1-2 days before. Thank you! I provide dog sitting, dog walking, dog boarding, cat sitting, and cat boarding services. Whatever you need and however much you need, I am willing to give! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet!

“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Theresa immediately put us at ease upon meeting her. She was an excellent communicator and made us feel comfortable leaving our baby in her care. She was responsive, professional, and positive in all communication. She left us clear and detailed reports so we didn't have to worry. Our easy going but reserved cat warmed up to her much faster than most! We highly recommend Theresa and very much hope to have her sit for our cat again!”

“Hannah was such a great pal to our cat Jeffrey while we were away! She is very communicative and responsible, and we’ll definitely be contacting her for pet sitting next time we go 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.”
“Stacey was incredibly patient, helpful and respectful! She took the time to get to know our dog before doing a drop in visit for over an hour and taking her for a walk. Took many pictures and did more than I could ask.”

“Ana was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond in taking care of my cat while I was away on vacation. I would absolutely recommend her to others and plan to request her again next time I travel!”
About: I have two dogs where I live right now and I’ve grown up with a dog most of my life. Just love being with dogs because of mine at home. I make it work and my schedule reflects my availability. Any requests or things that the owners might need I tend to try and work with them Like I said I have two dogs where I’m currently living (a husky and a mutt) I just love being around all types of dogs.
“Alex was amazing! He was a total professional from the start. We had no issues with Communication, he was always prompt with his responses. He went above and beyond with his care of our dog Lily! He was able to help our skittish pup get out of her shell. He sent updates daily while we were away which helped our separation anxiety. I would 100% recommend Alex!”
“Angela has been an Angel for us. I literally do not know what I would have done without her. Our booking was too short notice for a meet and greet (like it’s 9pm and we need someone for the next several days starting tomorrow). She answered our distress call and made it work with two recently adopted regressing special needs puppies. She’s very communicative, and took lots of photos during her visits. She is prompt and punctual and just really amazing with our puppies. They are normally terrified of everything and everyone but Angela is super patient and sweet and the dogs trusted her like immediately. Her visits changed our potty training trajectory, they were regressing and all of a sudden afraid of outside, but Angela came through and somehow turned it all around. So thankful to have found her.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of Zu! He needed a friend while I was away and she definitely provided! She also provided all the necessary care and maintenance that comes with a FIV cat. Will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Becky looked after my cat Klover on Christmas and was nothing but kind, sweet and attentive. Typical cat behavior, Klover doesn’t usually greet people but was out and about when Becky was there. I definitely recommend her as a sitter!”
“Minyon us SUPER accommodating. Even with my hectic schedule and several emergencies at once, she understood and gave me grace through every step of the process. When my pups met her, they instantly fell in love with her. She sent videos and pictures every visit and made sure to take them on nice long walks... which my pups love. I would ABSOLUTELY book with Minyon again!”

Lisa is an incredibly kind and caring dog sitter. My dog Latte gets so excited every time he sees her, which says everything about how loved and comfortable he feels in her care. She’s attentive, patient, and truly treats him like her own. She’s also very reliable with giving medications and always makes sure his needs are fully taken care of. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone so thoughtful, trustworthy, and compassionate. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets.
Jamie was amazing! I just recently adopted my pup and was nervous about leaving him for a long period of time. Jamie helped ease my mind as a new dog mom and took such good care of Roger. She’s super responsive and makes sure to send updates! Would definitely use her again!

Nicole was excellent—punctual and clearly took care to follow all of the instructions. She came for a dog check in, feeding, and dog walk and documented the entire thing with texts and photos in real time, which is really assuring whenever someone is in your home when you are not. My puppy seemed to love her—she did all of her business—and everything was left in the same condition as before. Would definitely recommend and will use in the future.
Alex was amazing! He was a total professional from the start. We had no issues with Communication, he was always prompt with his responses. He went above and beyond with his care of our dog Lily!
