About: Hi everyone! My name is Michelle :) I’ve been taking care of pets (cats, dogs, fish) since I was a teenager! I’ve looked after pets and homes for friends and neighbors and ensured a safe and happy experience for everyone involved while the family was away! I’ve always had pet siblings growing up, and am the proud mama to a 6-year old hound/ pit mix named Chewy! I’m a special education teacher who is about to be on summer break, so I would love to support you and your fur babies! I am about to be on summer break, so I have very flexible availability. Reach out to me and we can chat about your needs! I offer in home care for dogs and cats, and can provide whatever they require! I love to walk, play, and snuggle. I am dependable, responsible, and secure.
“Jessie is sooo patient with my energetic Pittie. They really love each other which makes me feel more comfortable. She is flexible and available, often at the last minute. Highly recommend.”
About: If you’re looking for someone to just drop a bowl of kibble and scroll on their phone, I’m probably not your person. But if you want someone who will treat your pet like a misunderstood genius or a retired diplomat, we’re going to get along great! I work for the MTA as a train operator in the city, but on my days off I love taking my corgi Zuko on long walks and playing in our yard. I've had dogs and cats since I was young, and have a special affinity for all animals. If you want your fur baby treated like the king or queen they know they are while you're away, look no further! I am currently off Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays so I will have the full 24 hours of those days to walk, play, entertain, and care for your pets. I have a large unfenced yard on a very quiet street off the main road. I also have a extremely friendly and energetic corgi named Zuko who will assuredly be your pets new best friend. There will be tons of playing, running, fetch and more to ensure your pet has the best experience staying at their home away from home.
“Melissa is extremely good with all animals and I would highly recommend her! Years ago when one of my german shepherds had a behavior issue we asked Melissa to work with us and the trainer to help correct the problem. Melissa understood what the trainer was doing and helped us to learn how to work with our dog. She has also fed, walked, and administered meds to our dogs while we were on vacation. Melissa is very reliable, knowledgeable about animals and extremely good with them. I trust her with all my animals care!”


About: Ive had multiple pets as long as ive been alive both cats and dogs! In high school I volunteered with a small dog adoption center in New Hampshire called Mary's dogs, where I worked with older dogs and puppy's in need of homes. I also took and animal science class in my Junior year and was dog CPR certified. I know basic animal first aid as well. Overall I absolutely adore animals of any kind and am willing to work with any pets! This is currently my only job, so I am available almost any time to spend time with and take care of your fuzzy family members. My preferred bookings is after 10am but I absolutely can make exceptions! I currently live with 2 dogs, a Labrador retriever and a Golden retriever, as well as 2 cats. I feed them all twice daily as well as keep multiple sources of water available around the house. I will be flexible and feed your animals with whatever schedule you give me!

“Richie stayed with our Yorkie Nicky and Chihuahua Pea while we were away. He is very professional, followed the dogs schedule to a T, kept us updated and our dogs were calm and comfortable when we returned. We will definitely be booking him again!”

“Leilani had a great time with Kevin. They went for nice long walks and she was very comfortable with him. Kevin was very communicative about their time together and even sent pics of my furbaby. Would highly recommend!”

“Finding someone trustworthy to check in on our senior dog, Siena, was important to us, and Lisa has exceeded our expectations. She’s always reliable, keeps us in the loop, and you can tell she genuinely cares about what she does. Siena enjoys her visits and is comfortable with Lisa, which gives us such peace of mind. We feel so fortunate to have found Lisa!”

About: I’ve grown up with large-breed dogs, especially Labs, and have cared for two or more cats at a time. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for over five years to walk, feed, and bathe their pets—including large dogs and bigger cat breeds. I’m comfortable handling active dogs, giving them plenty of exercise, and providing calm, loving care for all animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own. My schedule is part-time and flexible, and I’m happy to work with most schedules. This allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company while you’re away. I create a safe, loving environment in my own home and will be sure to do the same in yours. I follow your pet’s routines, ensure they’re comfortable, and keep them supervised during walks or playtime. Whether it’s making sure they get enough exercise, providing calm companionship, or keeping their space clean and cozy, I always put their well-being first.
“Walfredo has been tremendous! He is reliable, responsive and our dog loves him. Walfredo keeps us informed of everything and is communicative ahead of time if there are any changes. I highly recommend Walfredo to anyone looking for dog walking and pet sitting services.”

“It was a blessing we found Stephanie to walk our dog, Duke. She is sweet and kind and best of all reliable. Our pup is on the shy side, but Stephanie is the right person to walk him.”

About: I've been surrounded by pets my whole life. Growing up, I cared for many cats and dogs. I don’t have any animals at the moment. However, I did care for my cat, Susan, and Siberian Husky, Luke, for 15+ years before they both crossed the rainbow bridge in 2019. I know the tender, loving care that’s required to take in an animal and I’m sensitive to the fact that these kittens & pups are your babies! Each dog/cat/pet has a different personality and set of needs based on their breed or lifestyle and I’m prepared to take on any challenge. I’ve had prior experience home/dog/cat sitting and my schedule is pretty flexible. My phone is on hand at all times and I’m more than willing to send you pics throughout our time together! Currently, I have a flexible schedule and am looking to care for cats and pups to fill my days with more furry friends. 🐱 🐶 When I had pets at home, I would care for them by taking them on walks and playing their favorite games. I installed an electric fence for my dog so he could run around and enjoy the outdoors when I couldn’t walk him.
About: What sets me apart is deep, hands-on rescue experience. I’m a board member at an animal rescue and a Humane World for Animals Trailblazer Award recipient. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, special-needs animals, cats of all ages, and other small animals. I’m comfortable administering medications, maintaining feeding and litter routines, providing exercise and enrichment, and helping anxious pets feel calm, safe, and secure in new environments. I’m a recent University of Miami graduate with a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, and extended care, and I plan my daily routine around pets’ feeding, exercise, and comfort needs. I’ll be returning to school in the fall, but I’ll continue to maintain consistent availability and clear communication so pet parents always know what to expect. I follow each pet’s routine closely and prioritize safety, calm environments, and clear communication. I monitor behavior and health, respect household rules, and provide regular updates so pet parents feel confident and informed.

About: I have cared for rabbits, cats, and dogs over the course of my life. I grew up with a rescued kitten who lived a healthy, active life for 15 years before he developed feline diabetes. For two years, we gave him daily injections to maintain his health as best we could. When I began life outside of my childhood home, I adopted a lion head rabbit that lived long enough to become my children’s first pet. While I was living in Queens, New York, I spent a year dog walking and pet sitting around Astoria and Long Island City. My responsibilities included individual and group dog walks, in-home care for elderly and special needs dogs and cats, cat care, litter box/wee wee pad changing, and feeding. I am currently a stay at home mom and freelance writer, so my schedule is very flexible between the hours of 8am and 3pm while my children are at school. As a cat mom, I understand how important safety is when it comes to animal care. From the moment I walk into the house, keeping your pet safe is my priority. During my time with your pet, I will do my due diligence to make sure your pet is safe and happy from harnessing and leashing, through the walk, and finally my departure. I know the importance of staying alert on walks, constantly taking in the environment for any potential dangers from other animals, people, and vehicles.
