“Great communication and very understanding and kind towards my aggressive cat. Went above and beyond even though my cat did not make it easy on her!”

“1st time meeting Brendan. I was worried my dogs would be nervous with but they immediately loved him. I’m so glad they were comfortable with him, he was on the floor playing and petting them. I’m so grateful my pups will be in good hands when I’m away.”

“Marissa is very good. She takes care of our dog very well!”

“Thanks for taking good care of the dogs!”

“Kara is absolutely amazing! She's, like, the coolest and most caring person when it comes to pets. She’s always loves long walks in nature with her pets and just walks for fun. I'd totally trust Kara with my pets anytime because she's just amazing with animals.”

“Carmen was great with the pups! So thankful that she’s willing to take on a difficult case like my senior guy and spend time with him. She stayed the whole time and kept them company and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you!”

“Denise was great! Took care of my puppy as if she was her own! So friendly. Definitely wore my dog out, slept for 2 1/2 hours after she left. Thank you again!”

“Rebecca was a lifesaver!!! She was able to drop in to feed and take out our dogs on a last minute request. She was very communicative and took great care of our pups.”

“Laurie is an amazing sitter. Our pup and cats adored her. And, I we felt completely at ease while away with her regular communication and all of the pictures! It actually felt like so we were able to peer in on everyone and see what they were up to. Will definitely work w Laurie in the future!”

“I was so happy with Alexandra! I knew my cat, Johnny, was in good hands and I will definitely book with her again in the future.”

“George is a responsible and well mannered man who loves animals. He can be relied on to treat your dog well. He has a kind way about him that animals love.”

“Don recently cared for my two dogs while we were out of state on vacation and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the level of responsibility and love he provided for our dogs. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter or dog walker. Don has a genuine enthusiasm for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. He took the time to learn about my dogs' individual personalities, preferences, and any special requirements they may have had. This attention to detail immediately put me at ease and gave me confidence that my pets were in excellent hands. I cannot recommend Don's pet caregiving services enough. I will absolutely be reaching out to him for all my future pet care needs.”

“Kristin was amazing!! She kept in touch with us everyday, when a little emergency came about with our little Sonny she was on it and kept in touch and really worked with us to get it taken care of. My dog loved her and really made us real at ease with living him in her care. I will with out a doubt be using Kristin again.”

“I first met Nicole at Napa's local dog park, we both had Aussies and our dogs instantly became friends. Off and on, we would bump into each other at the park, and our dogs renewed their friendships. I expressed that once and awhile my arthritis would flare up enough to prohibit me from walking my two dogs. She volunteered to walk them for me, and her friendliness and caring coupled with how excited my dogs become when seeing her just reinforces my opinion of the kind and caring person Nicole is.”

“Good and communicative. My cats were doing well under Caitlin’s care.”

About: HI! I’m Melisa, and I love animals of all kinds. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, birds, cows, rabbits, chickens… you name it. Between growing up with animals in the home since I was a child, volunteering for many (MANY) years at a few animal shelters during grade school and college, and the pet sitting I've done since moving to New York (in 2009), I have a lot of experience with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and ages. To echo the above, I am comfortable with any size/breed of dog, and have worked with senior animals as well. It would be my pleasure to help you with your dogs and cats, whether that is for a daytime walk, a drop-in, or overnight. I love playtime and snuggle time equally, and can provide whatever you and your pet require. Thank you for reading, and I hope to meet you and your pup! I work from home in Bedford Hills, NY. I go into the office every now and then, so am around most of the time! My extra curriculars happen around my dog walking and pet sitting schedule, so my schedule is flexible. I would like to be aware of your home's safety measures (please don't let me accidentally set off an alarm!) if they are present. Also, during the cold weather, I'd love to know if your dog needs a jacket or booties when going on a long walk.

“The best!”

“We have a Maltese named Luna. Luna is a spoil and very affectionate dog that wants to be with company all the time. When we all travel for family vacation, we only trust Yumiko to take care of Luna because with Yumiko Luna gets the love and care she needs to feel good while her family is not around, and we can leave confident knowing that Luna is getting a great care. When Luna sees Yumiko and her family, she gets really excited.”

“Nicole is a wonderful caretaker for your pup! She is very playful and is always thinking of new creative ways to keep pups entertained. I've watched her take on training her high energy pup with success! I highly recommend Nicole to take care of your pets!”

“She has taken care of my dear husky before, and she has been more than excellente. My pet loves her and always gets excited when seeing her, he loves to be with her and I notice how my baby has advanced a lot when socializing, thanks to her. I would trust her my pet without doubting.”
