Animal-loving duo!
Pet care experience
We are high school sweethearts living in Brooklyn with our 15-year-old beagle mix Mae, attention hog of cat, Charlie, and leopard gecko Tulio. Amanda (she/her) has 5+ years of experience volunteering with dogs and cats (and exotic animals at a jungle sanctuary, but that's a story for another day!). She has fostered two litters of kittens and is TNR-certified and also has a soft spot for rodents and reptiles. She can give basic medical care, including oral medication and eye medication. Kellen (he/him) is a marathon runner with lots of energy who loves to spend time outside. He loves all animals and is a perfect match for dogs--including big breeds!--that want long walks around the borough and some snuggles after. Our pets might get jealous that we're spending time with yours, but they'll get over it.
Reviews
Cannot recommend highly enough! I was very anxious about leaving my shy velcro-kitties but Amanda and Kellen were absolutely amazing - Very communicative and patient (I was an anxious mess) and followed up on any instructions requested. I'll definitely be in-touch with them for future trips and I'm so, so grateful for everything - thank you so much, guys!!
Kellen was great with our dogs as always!
Amanda and Kellen were amazing with daily updates and pictures. The apartment was very clean and respected. Peaches was so happy and lively when I got home. I would definitely rehire them and hope they are available the next time I need a sitter
Amanda is terrific. So great with our dogs from the first moment, and unfazed by puppy craziness!

Safety, trust & environment
We are able to watch dogs, cats, and any smaller pets in your home and can host those smaller pets in ours. Rodents, reptiles, etc, would have a room to themselves.

Anything you think we would need to know! We can discuss more at a meet and greet or over the phone--whatever your preference happens to be!
A typical day
This is totally up to your pet's preference and needs! We're happy to take a spin around the neighborhood before hanging out at Maria Hernandez Park, but if your little one is more of a couch potato we can snuggle up with some treats and toys instead.
