Hi there! I’m Tedy, your friendly neighborhood animal lover (think Spider Man, but with more fur and fewer skyscrapers) 🐕 🗓️ Availability 📍 Service Area: I split my time between Forest Hills (Queens) and South Hempstead / Oceanside / Rockville Centre (Long Island) and prioritize bookings in these areas, but I’m always happy to discuss nearby locations. 📌 July & August Update: I’m currently accepting bookings and have open availability through the remainder of July and August. Please note: I’ll be out of town July 26 through August 1 and will resume walks, drop-in visits, and pet care beginning August 2. As I transition into a hospital role as a Patient Care Technician, my schedule will eventually change. Until then, I’m excited to continue offering pet care and am accepting new and returning clients. Once my hospital schedule is finalized, I’ll update my Rover calendar accordingly. ⸻ ⭐ At-a-Glance Care: • 10+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats & exotic pets • Pet CPR & First Aid trained • Experienced administering oral, topical & injectable medications • B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Animal Behavior • Experienced with anxious, senior & special-needs pets ⸻ About Me: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic animals through my community, shelters, veterinary settings, and private pet care. I earned my B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Animal Behavior from Canisius University, where I studied how animals think, learn, and communicate. That background helps me tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, emotional needs, and daily routine. I’m trained in Pet CPR and First Aid and have experience safely administering oral, topical, and injectable medications. Whether your pet needs a specialized diet, medication schedule, post-walk cleanup, or simply extra patience and reassurance, I strive to provide thoughtful, dependable care every visit. I’m also the proud parent of an 11-year-old Maltipoo who has taught me firsthand how important trust, consistency, and gentle care are. I treat every animal as if they were my own and work hard to create an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and emotional well-being will always be my highest priority. ⸻ 🐾 Services: • Dog Walking • Drop-In Visits • Feeding & Medication Administration • House Sitting (seasonal availability) 🚫 Currently not boarding pets in my home. ⸻ 🩺 Health & Safety: Please let me know in advance if your pet has any medical conditions, allergies, mobility concerns, or parasite-related issues. This allows me to prepare appropriately and help keep every pet—including my own—safe and healthy. I’m always happy to accommodate special medical or behavioral needs whenever possible. ⸻ 💛 A Little Extra: I’m also known for helping lost and injured animals—from birds and raccoons to kittens and puppies. If you or someone you know ever finds a stray or injured animal, don’t hesitate to reach out. I work closely with local shelters and wildlife rehabilitation organizations whenever possible to help animals get the care they need. If I’m ever unavailable, I’m also happy to recommend trusted pet caregivers whom I know personally. ⸻ ✨ First-time Rover user? Use my code TEDYH49678 for a discount on your first booking! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets—whether they’re furry, feathered, or scaly—and hopefully become one of their favorite humans! 🐾🐶🐱🐰🐍🐠🦎
