Please let me know if your pet struggles with separation anxiety and if they require any medication. I am able to administer medication orally, but not able to do injections.

A typical day

I love playing with my pets and I'll make sure to do the same with yours! I believe it is so important for them to receive that type of stimulation, especially for cats since they don't get to go on walks. I have a perch on every window and get plenty of sunlight for you pets to sunbathe in!

Pet care experience

After not being allowed to have pets growing up, as soon as I graduated college, I decided to foster my special needs cat, Hudson. One week later, I decided I was keeping him! (even though I was going on an extended international trip in 3 months!) Spoiler alert: I ended up coming home from my trip with a 1 month old kitten, my dear Leóna from Nicaragua (she was the first kitten I'd ever seen in my life!). ~ That got me started in the cat and animal rescue world where I went on to foster (thankfully no more foster failures after my first 2!), TNR, transport, and petsit cats and kittens of all ages. That semi-impulsive decision to get Hudson at 22 changed my entire life and led me to become a total softie and animal lover - I even gave up eating meat and stopped killing bugs (except fleas - sorry fleas!). ~ I am so thankful to those who watch my cat while I'm away so I can still pursue my love of travel and I want to be that for someone else and provide affordable rates to make pet ownership a little easier! ~ Fun story: On a trip to Costa Rica, I met a girl in my hostel who invited me to work for a month at her doggy daycare after learning that I'm a petsitter. I ended up staying on an island in Ohio in 2025 for 5 months running her doggy daycare myself, while she traveled, where I was the island's one stop shop for all their petcare needs - including goats! My favorite part was my daily 2 hour morning hikes with my core 4 (the reason I ended up staying an extra four months!) ~ - My home is located about 15 minutes away from both JFK and LGA! - Although I have never had a dog, I absolutely love them and they are more than welcome in my home! I gained so much experience and knowledge over the years through Rover and my time running a doggy daycare! - My cat is up to date on vaccinations - I clean the litter box 2-3 times a day - I have experience administering oral medication I will send you many pictures and love your pet as my own! Know they are in good hands!

Mehnaz was the absolute best. We had to be out of town and with only a couple days notice, Mehnaz was available and took excellent care of Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi was very nervous to be away from the family and Mehnaz was able to calm her down and relate to her very fast. We were also late picking her up due to the long distance we were driving and unforeseen traffic conditions, Mehnaz was very accommodating and understanding. We really appreciate how well Mehnaz took care of Chi Chi.

Mehnaz is super amazing. She took really good care of my dog, making sure that she walked and also well rested. Meanwhile she sent me tons of a videos and photos to keep me updated. I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a loving and patient dog sitter.
