Pet care experience
Hi there: **message me directly before booking** Animal lover and recent law school grad looking for some new furry friends to break up the malaise of job applications and unemployment!! I’ve lived with dogs since birth as well as up and through college and grad school, where I also walked dogs professionally. After Peanut, our Chocolate Lab, passed away two years ago, my partner and I have been visiting the shelter to walk dogs for free in our spare time. Growing up my parents often took in strays around my neighborhood to care for if we couldn’t find them a safe home somewhere else. Many of them required special care like meds, drops, particular diets, or just a little bit of extra love and attention. I have a big backyard in Brooklyn as well as a a spacious apartment and a sweet and fluffy dog-loving cat named Sloane!
Reviews
AJ boarded my two cats, one who had been recently hospitalized, for nearly two weeks. He (and Jess!) were so flexible and understanding with our schedule and our cats’ care instructions, and made us feel so much more at ease leaving them while we were out of town. They went out of their way to make sure our cats’ dietary and litter box needs were met, and were very knowledgeable about caring for animals and creating positive spaces for them. Can’t recommend enough!
AJ arrived early, and took my pup out for a lovely long walk, and then stayed at my home with her. I returned to a tired but happy dog. He followed my instructions and is reliable and trustworthy in ones home. Highly recommended.
I am very glad to have the opportunity to speak on AJ's behalf here, because he saved my dog's life. Early one morning in 2016 I was watching a large dog for a friend when she bit my pet chihuaha in the face causing a rupture to her eyelid and forcing her eyeball to hang out of its socket. The only thing I could think to do was drive her to AJ's house. AJ was asleep, but as soon as he saw Lily's eye he sprung to action. He wrapped her up and carried her in his arms while he drove me to the nearest animal hospital that could treat her injury. As soon as we arrived at the hospital AJ got back in his car and went to my house where he took the Big dog for a walk and then brought her to his home to watch her for my friend and me. Not only did Lily's eye recover, but AJ became the de-facto sitter for my pets as well as the sitter for the big dog's owners from that point on too!
There is no better person to trust with the care of your precious pups! AJ started walking my dogs after I had hip surgery over a decade ago. He refused to accept payment from me when I was recovering, but once I did get back on my feet, he did such a great job at making my pups happy that I decided to hire him to walk them full time. AJ is very professional and organized, which was great because the dogs quickly learned his schedule and would scratch at the door until he would arrive! Above all else, It is clear that AJ is really skilled at connecting with animals. Anytime you run into him on the street you can pretty much guarantee to see AJ with a smile and a big happy dog bounding alongside him!
