Doggy Day Care Fort Hancock

About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with plenty of experience caring for family pets and neighbors' dogs, often stepping in as a trusted pet sitter when they’re away. Over the years, I’ve learned how to handle different breeds and temperaments with patience and care, always making sure each dog feels comfortable and safe in my home. I also have a well-trained dog of my own, who’s friendly and well-behaved, however, when I watch other dogs, they’ll have the house to themselves on occasion, (as he frequently spends time visiting his grandma!), giving them space to relax without the stress of interacting with a new animal. My goal is always to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m currently working freelance and have the flexibility to watch your pet as needed during the week and weekend. With advanced notice, I am able to provide boarding/overnight services. My home offers a clean, open floor plan with plenty of space for your dog to relax and explore comfortably. There’s an enclosed outdoor patio for fresh air and sun, along with two large dog beds topped with clean sheets to help your pup feel right at home. I also provide natural treats as a little extra touch to keep them happy and satisfied. When your pet is staying with me, they’ll be my top priority. I’m committed to giving them my full attention, care, and affection during their visit.

“Sean and Dakota went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was happy and comfortable. They are always quick to respond and very kind and caring. It was very comforting to know my puppy was in such great hands while I was away. Highly recommend!”

“Lina provided exceptional care for my baby, Viper. From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in good hands. She not only tended to his basic needs but also showered him with love and attention. It was evident that she genuinely cared for his well-being and treated him as if he were her own. Throughout his stay, Lina kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Viper was happy and content. Additionally, her knowledge and expertise in handling dogs reassured me that Viper was receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Lina to anyone in need of a responsible and caring pet sitter.”

About: Hi there! Although I only recently activated this App , doggy care is not new to me; i have been around dogs my entire life and grew up with herding breeds. I raised my former Border Collie Zoey (see Gallery) who has since crossed the 🌈 bridge, from puppyhood to adulthood, teaching her fun commands like “take a bow” and “play dead.” My goal is to provide pets of all ages with a fun, safe, sanitized, and secure environment free from hazards - and in doing so, to provide my clients with peace of mind. *************** *************** Today, I own a 5m/o longhaired male Dachshund named Moose (he loves other dogs and has received his core vaccines; note that he is unneutered) so I have firsthand experience with the unique care long-bodied breeds require, including safe handling and back protection. I’ve cared for dogs of many sizes and temperaments, including Corgis, Labrador Retrievers, Labradoodles, and Pomeranians. *************** *************** The house is mere minutes away from the Belford Ferry, making it convenient for NYC commuters. For clients interested in doggy daycare and/or boarding services, dogs will have access to a fenced-in backyard for supervised potty and outdoor playtime, as well as an indoor gated doggy playpen on the main/living floor of the house (see Gallery), filled with plenty of enrichment activities and toys. They may also access the hardwood-floor living area just outside of the pen. Proof of core vaccines is required and your dog must be on a flea/tick preventative to keep all of our furry friends safe. Clients who wish to may also bring a crate and/or any special comforting items. Baby gates will be placed on steps as an additional safeguard. Walks can be added to these services as well. Currently i am only taking one client at a time. During the day, my Dachshund Moose will be in the playpen (I monitor for play breaks and can keep dogs separate if necessary) and at night he sleeps with us so your doggy will have the pen to himself for some beauty sleep. The playpen is also equipped with a baby monitor. *************** *************** Summary of What’s Included in Daycare & Boarding Services: - Standard/Name-Brand Kibble (clients are welcome to bring their own food) mixed with water & dog-friendly bone broth. - Chews & treats (I have an assortment of quality chews like turkey tendons, fish skins, bully sticks, etc.) - Supervised outdoor potty& playtime in fenced yard - Indoor enrichment time (frozen lick mats & puzzles) - Access to a variety of toys/ beds to sleep on in secured indoor pen - Daily picture updates sent to you for peace of mind 😊 *************** *************** Before every booking, we’ll discuss your pet’s routine, personality, exercise needs, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions so I can provide personalized, attentive care. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also American Red Cross certified in Dog First Aid 🐾🐾🐾 I have a flexible schedule and will work with you to coordinate pickup/drop-off times that work. We will discuss scheduling at the initial consult. We can go over any quirks /routines that you do to make your pup feel comfy, favorite toys, etc., to ensure your fur baby feels safe and loved while in my care🐾

“Another happy stay at Ka's! Lots of puppies to play with, several of them being regulars. It's better than going to the dog park sometimes (minus the free running).”

“Mary & Aaron and their lovely children are the needle in the haystack! I feel so thankful and grateful that I found them. Cassius is a rescue dog with severe separation anxiety, many behavioral traits and health issues, needs a special diet, is scared of unknown environments, streets, etc....but he is totally happy each time that is going to their house ! They opened the doors of their house and they also open their hearts to Cassius as if he was their own dog... and I really mean it ! Their adorable daughter Allison will wait in the morning for Cassius, when she is off school, full of energy to play, give him treats and do puzzles together, Cassius adores her. This is an extraordinary compassionate and loving family that will take care of your dogs as if they were their own. For the first time since I rescued Cassius, I can plan on traveling, study, go to work and move around worry-free about Cassius being take care. Cassius will continue going on regular basis to their house every week, it was a match made in heaven, Cassius loves them and they love him!”
