Hi! We are Alyssa and Michael :) We are both huge animal lovers and treat every pet like they’re our own. We’ve been caring for animals for years, especially dogs and cats, but alyssa also has experience with fish, rabbits, and birds. Alyssa used to work for a professional dog-walking company, Thumping Tails, where she worked with 80+ families, handling everything from walks and feedings to cleaning up, playtime, and just giving pets the attention they need while their owners are away. Even after leaving, a lot of those families have stayed in touch and still trust me with their pets, which means a lot to me. Alyssa has also done freelance work for time in between some time now and has worked with over 250+ families. I’m happy to provide references if needed! We are both very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and have worked with different breeds (small to large, you name it), from puppies to seniors, varying energy levels, and even pets with disabilities or special needs. We both also have experience giving medications when needed. We are both cat owners ourselves, so we totally get that every cat has their own personality. We’ve worked with friendly cats, shy ones, and the “I’ll come to you when I’m ready” types. I’m very patient and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. We both offer walks (quick, short, or long), drop-ins, playtime, and can even help with pet socialization if that’s something you’re looking for. Also happy to just stop by to give your pet some love and attention! Right now we are not offering boarding, but we both have experience with house sitting through both freelance work and my previous company. We are both very easygoing, reliable, and really pay attention to the little details on whatever instructions you leave, l follow them closely to keep your pet happy and comfortable. Feel free to reach out anytime! We hope to meet you and your pets soon! ** We want to preface since there have been many requests to modify payments: any bookings booked through holidays will be charged at full holiday price. We apologize for any inconvenience, but during the holidays we typically get upwards of 20-30 requests and due to the volume, the price of gas, and the cost of our own personal time being away from each other and our own pet, we must charge at our holiday rate. Rover also deducts 20% from all of our bookings on top of that, so please respect our time and do not request a change to the cost, we already charge well below market value in the Westchester area. Any bookings cancelled in the middle of a booking will also be charged at full price as we typically have to turn down other clients in order to accommodate previous bookings made.** We look forward to meeting you and your pets! :) — Alyssa + Michael🐾
