About: Dogs have always had a special place in my heart. I grew up in a home full of animals, including a loyal family dog who was truly part of the family. Since then, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels from playful puppies to calm older companions. I believe dogs are often more loyal, honest, and emotionally tuned in than people that’s why I love being around them. I’m active, patient, and reliable, and I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away I recently moved to New York, so my schedule is very flexible right now. I’m spending time settling in, exploring the city, and making my new home feel cozy - and having a pup by my side would only make that experience better! I usually have a lot of free time during the week and can easily adjust my day around your dog’s needs, whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship. On weekends, I often take short trips outside the city to spend time in nature - and when I stay in town, I’m happy to spend that time caring for your furry friend. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment in my 1 bedroom apartment in UES, where animals feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs - whether they’re playful and active or prefer quiet time and cuddles.I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, mental stimulation, and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I live in a secure, high rise apartment with plenty of natural light and space for pets to lounge, explore, and feel at home. I never leave pets unattended for long and treat them with the same care and respect I would give my own
