Eat. Play. Love

Hi there! My name is Zelma, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Woodside, Queens. I'm manager at Hudson Animal Hospital, I’ve been there for almost 4yrs. I have 5yrs of experience with cat/dog sitting. I’m trained to administer medications, including intramuscular (IM) and subcutaneous (SQ) injections, as well as oral administration, if necessary. I can also provide photos and videos to keep you updated on your pet’s progress. Just know your pet will be in good hands!

Zelma is amazing she went above and beyond to make sure my pups stay with her was as convenient as possible for both me and my pup! She’s incredibly sweet, communicates well, and is all around a 5 star dog sitter! You can be confident that your pup is in good hands with Zelma!

Zelma did such a great job taking care of my senior pup! She communicated so well, was super flexible, kind, and understanding about the extra care a senior pup needs. I was confident Skip was in good hands during his stay from the photos and check ins Zelma gave that ensured Skip was comfy and happy:) I absolutely recommend Zelma to any dog parent!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 3 bedroom apartment, I have a big living room space with a fenced backyard as well! I live with my cat who doesn’t really do much, she sleeps all day and my family and i look after her. My family understands what to do and what not to do when I have pets boarding at our place. When I’m at work, your pet would hangout with my parents or either my brothers so they’re never alone while I’m gone

Pets

I would give them my full attention, we'd play and I can take them to the nearest dog park which is around like a 10minute walk from my place!
