Emi Perez
I've always had a special love for dogs for so many reasons. Their unconditional love and desire to just bring joy is overwhelmingly powerful. I've worked with dogs for many years and feel so blessed to be part of a company that values and cares for dogs in a way that I haven't seen anywhere else.
Sheyla Lopez
When Sheyla was 17, she got her first dog named Stella. Stella came into Sheyla's life at the perfect time and taught her the true meaning of unconditional love and patience. Sheyla continues to carry out Stella's legacy each and every day by providing love, patience and treats to our Hound Honey's fur babies.
Aintzane Carvajal
I have spent my entire life with animals and pets of different kinds: fish,turtles , cats and dogs. I have always been intrigued by them all , but my love of dogs is beyond anything I can communicate with words . My Mom was very influential in teaching me how to care for my pets and how to read their body language and different quirks. She explained that it was very important to be patient and to pay attention to the details in their movements , sounds and mannerisms . That has always helped me tremendously and I see the value through my work at Hound Honey and it is my honor and joy to be a part of your pet's journey.
Iliana Munoz
I've been in love with dogs since I was seven years old and received my first pup, a beautiful Apple Head Chihuahua named Kanino. He changed my life and started me on a journey that will always include having dogs in my life. Over the years I have worked with dogs doing everything from walking to training , trying to teach them ,but the bottom line is they were actually teaching me. I learned patience and responsibility from them and most importantly I learned what unconditional love really is . It is my privilege to work with these amazing creatures who make me smile every day.
Michelle Casilari
I’ve been a dog sister and now a dog mother - and hope to always be one. My experience has been ongoing - from the most simple of tasks to basic grooming. Taking care of pets of all kinds is a responsibility I take extremely seriously and can promise you that your dog will be in the best possible hands!
Rocky Olivo
Animals have literally been a part of my life since birth - I grew up in Wisconsin on a farm, and always been surrounded by animals of all kinds. In New York, I have two loving cats but am also obsessed with dogs and can't wait for the day I can adopt my own.
Carlton Rolle
Animals have been an interest of Carlton's for as long as he can remember. From exploring and interacting with wildlife to owning domesticated pets, they have always held a special place in Carlton's heart. Their love, understanding, perspective, and comfort is irreplaceable to Carlton and he hopes to continue to bring these qualities to the Hound Honey team.
Abigaye Wynter
Abigaye has been fortunate enough to witness the profound bond between her own dog & her mom's furry companion. Abigaye believes when you treat a dog with love, kindness and gentleness, they undoubtedly reciprocate. She's excited to share her nurturing nature with all pets, ensuring they receive the same love and protection they generously provide us.
Colin Blair
One of Colin's earliest memories is playing with his family's German Shepherd, Dogan, in a field behind their Connecticut home. He has been madly in love with dogs ever since. Mostly growing up in Los Angeles, Colin had a variety of animals through his upbringing - from dogs, cats, rabbits, to even a tortoise. Now living in New York, Colin has a wonderful tuxedo cat, Frankie, and still loves caring for all types of animals.
Sonali Shah
Sonali has been an avid lover of dogs ever since she can remember. She is now the proud dog mom to a toy poodle named Oakley (who is in this picture with her!) She loves caring for all pets and is excited to love every one of them just like her own.

Yaere has always had pets growing up and her love for them continues to grow into her adulthood.

Raquel Henderson
Raquel graduated from Saint Peter's University as a D1 athlete. While Fitness is still important to her (she has had much experience working for holistic doctors and in the medical field as a nurse), she also has a huge passion for animals and adopted many of her own - including birds, rabbits, dogs, cats, fish and even a guinea pig. She hopes to use her experience in medical care & pet care to provide exceptional service to the Hound Honey team.
Victoria Melo
Victoria was blessed to be born into a family of dog lovers. Her earliest recollections include furry family members and because of this, she has had a strong love for dogs throughout her life. She currently has two maltese shih tzu siblings that live with her mother, and a maltese poodle, Trina who is pictured above. Victoria takes pride in the care she provides dogs, and will without a doubt treat your fur baby like her very own.
Lavasia Brunett
The epitome of “big things come in small packages”, my love for animals has been overflowing since I could walk. I have been in the veterinary field for about 7 years and plan to continue until the wheels fall off! I have one small fur family member named McKenzie who is my right hand partner. She has helped me work with everything from mice to livestock. It is a forever goal of mine to spread as much love and care to our extended family members as I do my own.
Raymond Trujillo
My love for long walks is probably as big as your furry best friend’s! I would be more than happy to take care of all of your best pal’s needs, from a stroll in the park to an important veterinary visit. Hound Honey Canine Crew Members, like myself, will make sure every service is handled with the utmost care.
Valerie Chalen
Since I was young I’ve been obsessed with fur babies!! Growing up with them by my side, I have learned they are not just fur babies, they are family. It’s truly a blessing to receive their unconditional love and loyalty. Knowing that no matter how different each dog’s personality is they can always turn a bad day into a good one.
Lola Glaudini
Lola is thrilled to be a part of the Honey Hound family. Spending her time with animals is her dream. The soul recharge this work fulfills is greater than imagined possible. A life-long entertainer both behind and in front of the camera, Lola would rather be washing, walking, singing to, and cuddling dogs than doing anything else on earth.

Raelyn Edwards - Animal Behavioralist
I've known since I was 6 that working with animals is something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Over the years I've cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, lizards, and even a stray NYC pigeon! (that we named Patrick Russel) my unforgettable experiences with them led me to complete a bachelor’s degree in animal behavior psychology at Hunter College.
