About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was around 6 years old. Helping with the puppy stage up through their senior years. I've fostered a few rescue pitbulls as well, helping them learn the skills and behaviors to find them their forever homes. I believe in patience and positive reinforcement and will gladly follow any of your guidelines for caring for your pup! I currently have a 6 year old rescue who is the sweetest boy and my best friend! I’m a graduate student so I’m a bit tight on time. Please, feel free to reach out and I’m always happy to try my best to accommodate. I have evenings and weekends free, I’m available until noon on Wednesday & Friday mornings, and I’m available after 1pm Monday and Tuesday. I currently live in a dog friendly apartment that has plenty of space. There are walking trails near me that we can go on. I have a friendly dog to keep your pup company. I also have a crate and am happy to crate either your dog or mine depending on the circumstances. I allow dogs on the furniture at my house and have a balcony that's dog safe and equipped with dog beds for dog watching or sunning.

“Abigail was awesome! She did a great job with my little dude. He has his quirks but she clearly worked some magic because he was calm and happy at pick up! Great communication, and flexibility!

“Rose was a delight to work with and scout had the best time.”
About: I was born and raised with dogs, and animals continue to be a huge part of my life. I have an associates degree in veterinary technology, and am a licensed veterinary technician. I have fostered senior and special needs dogs, volunteered with shelters and rescues, and spent years working in a busy shelter/clinic in NYC. I also have a great love and respect for birds, having fostered many pigeons and doves through my former job at a wildlife center. I have extensive experience with feeding, caring for and medicating several species of animals, but my original and enduring love of dogs and cats is at the heart of what keeps me working in this field. I believe that each animal is an individual who is deserving of love, respect and consideration, and improving the lives of all creatures is my mission! I"m currently working part time and from home, so I have plenty of flexibility and availability to arrange time to care for your furry or feathered friend. I currently have one pet of my own - a dove. He lives part time in his cage and part time free-range, so any dogs I take in for boarding would have to do a meet and greet to make sure everyone will be able to peacefully coexist!
“Allison was amazing! Quick to respond, sent me tons of pictures, took stella on multiple walks including the beach, would definitely book again!”
“Andrew was very professional, had a screening call (that I appreciated), was super flexible and accommodating with my meeting schedule being ambiguous and ultimately was pushed beyond the time I had communicated. He was friendly, attentive, sent photos and took Lady on an adventure. Loved working with him and am so glad I trusted him with my girl while I was in town. Very pleased!! THANK YOU!”

If I ever come back as a dog, I absolutely want Sheryl as my owner! Ed.”
