🐾 I’m currently providing pet care for a King Charles Cavalier who has mobility issues and dietary restrictions, but he is such a big mush! I am also caring for a special needs 4 month old kitten who needs to be syringe-fed, given both topical & oral medication on schedule, along with helping her with using a litter box. In addition to assisting with care of a (palm-sized) rescue kitten who is less than one month old needing to be bottle fed every few hours, given antibiotic medication for her eyes and frequent cleaning with wet wipes, due to being too young to know how to use a litter box. I have found it to be extremely rewarding and willing to look after a few more furbabies within my local area.

Information Lisa M. would like to know about your pet

➡️ Please let me know prior to my visit the following, if applicable about your pet: ✅ Feeding routine ✅ Does your pet have allergies? ✅ Preferences (ex. favorite toys, foods) ✅ Dislikes (ex. loud noises) ✅ Are they harness trained? ✅ Mobility issues (ex. some senior pets are not able to use the stairs and may need assistance, or they may not be able to jump on/off a couch) ✅ Dislikes towards other pets, such as dogs, or cats, etc. ✅ Have separation anxiety (sometimes pets exhibit separation anxiety when pet parents are away) ✅ If your pet will be crated, or needs to be confined to one room during a drop-in visit before I arrive to your home. ✅ For housesitting in your home: I do not currently offer overnight stays. ✅ For pet boarding in my home: I can currently look after one small dog at a time, that is approximately 15lbs. or smaller. Must be a cat-friendly dog. Boarding timeframe can be for up to 5-7 days, or less. ______________________________________ ♦️ For safety reasons, prior to my visit, all pets MUST be up to date (UTD) with vaccinations, especially rabies. No exceptions! ✳️ Also, it would be beneficial to know if your pet is currently on flea & heartworm medication, since I will be walking them outdoors, and also because I myself have a pet at home. ⏰ Reminder: For each booked walk or drop-in visit, Rover requires the sitter to input the start time and completion time, which is in 30 minute increments. I provide the best care & service possible for each booking, and as a courtesy, usually go beyond the allotted time criteria given by Rover. ♦️ Please be informed in advance, that there are certain breeds of dogs I do not offer pet services to. Pets that are aggressive, need professional training, have biting/nipping and/or resource guarding behavioral issues.

A typical day

✳️ I can play fetch/tug or teaser toys with your pet, do basic training with your pet using treats that are approved and/or provided by the owner. ✳️ I have a calm approach and always use positive reinforcement. You will find after a few weeks, your pet will be better at walking, more centered and disciplined. ✳️ Walks are usually near the vicinity of the owner’s home and/or at a nearby dog-friendly park. ✳️ House Sitting Services: I currently offer ONLY DAYTIME HOUSE SITTING services, starting from 9am, earlier for NHP and surrounding area. I do not offer overnight sitting services. If you need to book me for a few hours in the evenings from 7pm till 9pm, I will gladly work with you. ✳️ Please be informed, although I am experienced with both dogs and cats, I do not currently provide training with correcting behavioral issues, or pets that may need specialized training.

Care For The Happiest Pets 🐾 💖

Pet care experience

💠 Hello! I offer pet care for when you’re not able to be there. I am available for drop-in visits, pet sitting, pet daycare, and also pet walking (even for cats!). 🚙 I currently provide pet care services for most of the Nassau County area and some parts of Nassau-Queens border. I am also able to travel to Manhattan with added transportation coverage. I am local: Repeat services booked with me receive special accommodations & rates. 🌃 Messages that are sent after hours on Rover may be responded to on the following day. 🔹 I’m experienced with small breeds, or toy breeds, specifically Pomeranians, been around them all my life, including newborns and senior dogs who were raised starting as puppies. 🔹 Experienced with docile cat breeds, in particular Persian, Himalayan, Ragdoll, Maine Coon and other related cat breeds. 🔹 Have experience with Goldfish, Bettas and birds such as Budgies, so knowledgeable about care. 🐾 I’m intuitive and pay attention to picking up the different ways a dog or cat expresses nonverbal communication, they constantly give us cues. About Me: I own a color-point Persian cat who is 7 years old that I enjoy spoiling. I can speak Italian, enjoy gardening, art, sewing, yoga, tennis & pilates. I’m a fan of the original Twilight movie directed by Catherine Hardwicke.

Lisa was amazing! She took excellent care of our 2 cats and elderly dog. She took Bella out twice a day during some of the coldest days imaginable. All the while keeping Bella”s needs her priority. She was communicative and really put our minds at ease . She will be sitting again for us in the near future… we’re very lucky to have found her !
