About: I’ve had pets my entire life and the past two years I’ve started caring for others in addition to both of my boys. I have experience fostering; caring for dogs with special needs and of all different sizes and breeds. I work close to home and a very flexible schedule giving me plenty of time to care for your pet! Daycare drop off and pick up hours are between 4am-8pm. Any time after 8pm would need to be booked as boarding and pick up for following morning unless we arrange a short time frame. I have a fenced yard and a friendly Yorkie and goldendoodle who both love to play to keep your Fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Elena watched my 15 week old puppy, Saylor, while I was home for a family emergency on Staten Island. She visited Saylor for several walks throughout two days. Elena was extremely trustworthy, always on time (if not early) and entirely engaged with Saylor for the full visit! I highly recommend Elena for any pet help you may need!”

About: Having grown up in a household full of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, and hedgehogs I possess a lifelong "animal intuition" and a deep comfort level with various species. What truly sets me apart is my hands on experience managing a multi-pet home with my own three cats, which has made me an expert in feline behavior and resource management. Whether it is providing the patient, attentive monitoring required for senior pets or the delicate handling needed for small exotic animals, I am highly adaptable to each pet's unique needs and personality. My schedule is very flexible during the latter half of the week. From Monday to Wednesday, I work as a therapist in Brooklyn. On Thursdays and Fridays, I only have two cases in Staten Island totaling about two hours, which leaves me with plenty of availability from Thursday through Sunday. Caring for animals is a deeply healing experience for me. While I am a huge dog lover, my own home is currently a cat-only household because we rescued three cats from a shelter, one of whom is extremely sensitive to dogs. To ensure her comfort, we decided not to own a dog ourselves, so pet sitting gives me a wonderful opportunity to fulfill my passion for working with dogs. My personal experience with a high-needs, sensitive rescue cat has made me exceptionally patient and skilled in handling pets with various temperaments and specific needs. My approach to pet care focuses on proactive health, hygiene, and emotional well-being. In my own home and when sitting for clients, I prioritize hydration by mixing water and specialized supplements like cranberry powder into wet food to support urinary health, and I ensure a clean environment by scooping litter and washing bowls daily. Most importantly, I understand that pets—especially cats—communicate through subtle, "high-frequency, low-impact" social cues; I provide gentle affection and verbal greetings without overstimulating them, ensuring they feel respected and safe. I treat every animal as a sentient companion, balancing structured routines with the quiet, intuitive interaction they need to thrive.

“We booked Michelle for a drop in after a meet and greet while we were present to get our anxious dog familiar with her. She was wonderful with our pups and now our newest addition. She follows the instructions given and after one meet and greet she knew exactly what to do with our dogs. Our anxious pup was jumping on her for attention and love and was amazing around her! Thank you for being patient and letting our dogs get familiar with you before our long trip this summer Michelle! 🩷🩵🩷”

“This is our third time using Malak, and she’s been incredible every time. When our cat broke the fountain, she quickly resolved the issue, going above and beyond. I always feel safe leaving our cats in her care. Highly recommend!”

“Tara deserves 10 stars for going above and beyond for my 5 cats - keeping everything super clean, bringing in mail when it was supposed to be on hold, and keeping the cats comfy at home. She allowed me to have a worry-free getaway.”

About: I have a strong passion for providing attentive and loving care to pets of all kinds. Having grown up around and cared for many animals, I am skilled in offering everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding, grooming, and administering medications when needed. I understand the importance of building trust and ensuring that each pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy in my care. Whether it's providing companionship, exercise, or simply a watchful eye while you're away, I am dedicated to giving your pet the best care possible and ensuring they feel loved and secure at all times. What sets me apart from other sitters is my specialized experience in caring for anxious, sick, and young animals, particularly kittens as young as two weeks old. My background in rescuing and nurturing vulnerable pets has given me a unique skill set in handling animals with specific medical needs or behavioral challenges. I am adept at creating a calm, reassuring environment that helps pets feel safe and secure. Whether it's offering a comforting presence to a nervous pet or supporting a sick animal through their recovery, I provide dedicated, individualized care that ensures your pet’s needs are met with compassion and attention. Disclaimer: I currently have 2 cats, so your pet would have to be gentle towards cats. I work remote from home, so I am home all day. I go out on some weekends for a few hours at a time, but never more than 4 hours. I have a large house and my room is detached from the rest of it, so they would have their own space if need be. I enjoy my daily walks and would love to bring a buddy along! I prioritize safety, trust, and a comforting environment when caring for pets in both my home and my client’s home. In my home, I ensure a pet-friendly space that is secure, clean, and free of hazards, with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. I track their food intake and always keep outtake in mind to catch any problems, if need be. I provide plenty of attention, love, and supervision to make sure pets feel safe and comfortable. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, offering consistent care and maintaining a familiar environment. I always ensure your pet’s safety by keeping their space secure, whether it's limiting access to certain areas or keeping harmful items out of reach. Open communication with pet parents is key, so I regularly update you on how your pet is doing, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Trust and respect are the foundation of my approach, ensuring that your pet feels as loved and cared for as they would at home.

“Tuba was very responsive, clean and respectful!”

About: I have loved caring for animals my entire life! I have years of experience after rescuing my baby Ryder at 3 months old. He just turned 7! :D Animals make the world a better place, especially our pets. Each pet and owner are unique, and deserving of love, compassion, comfort, and dependability. I am dedicated to providing the best possible personalized care for not only your fur baby, but you as well through detailed and consistent communication. I work full-time locally, M-F 9-5, and work from home on Wednesdays. I am fully available after 5pm during the week and anytime over the weekend! I have plenty of time to give your pups and you my undivided attention, care, and love! I am also a very active person, so whether your pet loves running around and playing outside or just chilling in the house, I can make sure they are having the best time! I live within close distance to Clove Lake and Silver Lake Parks which provide great opportunities for long, exciting/relaxing walks, playtime, exploration, and socialization with other dogs. In your home, I would love to take note of any instructions or preferences in order to make sure your pup is as comfortable and happy as can be.

“Kelise did a wonderful job while we were away. She walked and fed my dog (7 year old pitbull) and fed my 17 year old cat. They were both in excellent shape when we got home. I paid for her to stay extra time to pet the animals, and I could tell from her emails and photos that she really loved them.”
