About: **My FT job is a revolving schedule meaning I do not always work the same exact shift daily and may not have the same exact days off weekly.** NYC AREA ONLY! I must be able to reach your address via transit. Due to transit times, I may not be able to take a last-minute request. **Dogs I have 17 years of experience, cats I grew up with and rabbits I have 7 years with** I had the pleasure of owning a big beautiful rottweiler greater swiss mountain dog boy for many years until I lost him to cancer. I also grew up with cats! Check out my kitty profile to see my best friend, an orange tabby boy. He made it all the way to high school putting up with me before it was his time to go. Losing him was as hard as losing my college best friend, my rottie mix. . Outside of that, I professionally raised, trained, and showed rabbits for a decade and had a professional show horse while I was in college. With the passing of my big rottie boy, I couldnt bring myself to have a new dog and my schedule is too busy to own another these days so instead I offer my services to help other busy pet owners. I have worked with pit bulls, huskies, stubborn shepherds, all kinds of dogs from volunteering at shelters to taking care of friends dogs while they were out of town to just helping neighbors get in potty breaks and walks for elderly pet owners who cant always go for long walks. . I am in my later 30s and have experience in the hospitality industry, corporate security industry, airline industry, and medical field (ex FF/Medic). Your pet is like one of your kids- their safety and security matters as much as someone who understands animal body language. Your dog and I can work on basic things like leash manners while on our walk (its all included if they need it). . **Schedule notes cont: I am only given a short amount of schedules in advance so I have no way to book beyond my current assigned FT job schedule. Regretfully, I am not able to pre-book pet clients then tell the FT job I cant work those days. They will not honor that request as the contract with them strictly says they are the first priority- meaning I HAVE to wait until they release any upcoming weekly schedules. This is beyond my control and I applogize for the inconvience it causes. I do state that I only do pet services in my FREE TIME which means whenever Im not commuting to work or have to be at work. Please take this into consideration when booking! I am ONLY available to take dogs out for walks in my FREE TIME. Must book at least 24 hours in advance. I will update my availability based on my primary job schedule, any time I am out of town, or unavailable due to personal life appointments. NOTE: My day job is a revolving schedule. I am not always available the same time daily or weekly. You MUST discuss this with me as I only recieve so many company schedules in advance. IM AWARE THIS IS NOT CONVIENIENT, but my hands are tied. This is how the company operates. I do NOT offer in my home sitting (my landlord does not allow pets in this facility/only service animals). I am a will check on your pet house call and on the go dog walker only. If your dog does not have a harness, I will NOT be walking your dof for their OWN safety. Dogs can easily slip out of leashes. It also helps them with leash manners and allows me better control of them if I needed to move them quickly from a situation. I prefer to walk dogs away from busy roads/busy intersections and will take advantage of any nature trails nearby. Dog parks can be stressful on dogs, so unless your dog has playmates that it regularly sees at a specific dog park, I will not take your dog to an unfamiliar area and let them run free with other dogs where they could become involved in a fight. Generally, I walk them around their local neighborhood or on a nature trail. NO car rides (I dont even have a car). Your dog always stays close to home and in a familiar environment. Treats will be used for positive reinforcement but due to dogs having food allergies, I DO NOT provide treats. All owners must provide their OWN pet-specific "safe treats" and note ANY restrictions such as "Only one or two whole treats" or for bigger dogs, "5 cookies max" (these are just generic examples, its up to you to know your pets diet and leave instructions for what your pet needs). CATS- same deal, although cats typically wont take treats from strangers so don't be offended or surprised if you find kitty crunchies left untouched. Kitty churus/"tubes"- if your cat cannot have the whole tube, please leave a ziplock baggie that I can put the remainder of the tube in. I will only squeeze out the directed amount and then place the tube in the baggie and leave it in your fridge so it doesnt spoil from the coastal heat/humidity and so bugs cant get in it.

“Mileena is an absolute lifesaver! I was in a massive pinch when my regular sitter was out of town, and finding Mileena was a total blessing. From the initial meet and greet, she was incredibly calm, friendly, and thorough. She even sat with me during feeding time to ensure she got the routine right. Right before my trip, one of my cats developed severe bronchitis. I had to delay my trip, and Mileena was incredibly accommodating with the schedule change. My cat also required a challenging inhaler medication, but she handled it like a pro, sending me consistent updates and video confirmations that gave me peace of mind. To top it all off, a family emergency delayed my return home by several hours. Mileena stayed extra time without hesitation to make sure my cat got his evening medication. I came home to a perfectly clean house, used towels already in the washing machine, and Cat TV playing for the babies. She is a gem, and I cannot recommend her enough!”

“I had a very urgent last minute housing need for my cat for about a month. Merve was willing to house her immediately and temporarily which saved me a lot of mental and emotional stress. I did not ask for photos or videos. Merve shared a few photos and videos here and there throughout the month. It appears my cat was taken care of very weak. She was fed timely, and always provided clean water. Merve also played with my cat regularly going as far as purchasing a toy for her to play with. It seems my cat was very comfortable with her, often going to sleep with her. Merve was easy to work with, accommodating and very comfortable with cats. She was somehow able to successfully bathe my cat which I was amused and very impressed she did it. I would like to work with her again and would absolutely trust her with my cat.”

“Highly recommend Janelle!! She is wonderful with cats. My cat immediately warmed up to her. Janelle takes time to relieve their stress, play, etc. She was super attentive to my cat’s medical needs, which included administering an inhaler for asthma, probiotics, and an oral medicine. By the end of her stay, my cat trusted Janelle so much that she let her give her medicine without any struggle. And she’s excellent at communicating - she asks the right questions and sent me multiple pictures and videos every day! It really put me at ease while I was traveling.”

“Valeria was amazing staying with my 2 cats when i was away for a weekend! She took great care of them and sent picture updates everyday. She was also so easy to work with and flexible to my schedule - I almost had to cancel and she was able to work it out with me when I found out I didn't have to cancel! Will definitely have her come watch my boys again ☺️”
