Hi! My husband and I are are excited to host another dog in our home or I would be happy to visit your home and look after your cat (see below for cat sitting experience). We have a 6 year old dog who we’ve raised from 8 weeks old. The experience of being a dog owner in NYC has provided all the knowledge we need to care for your dog. We know how important it is to provide a lot of exercise (if required), good care for feeding, playing, and treats as well as lots of cuddles! - Every morning, afternoon, and night we take our dog to the park to play fetch and run around for up to an hour. - Mid day potty breaks and fun walks are also a great way to breakup the work from home schedule. - Our dog requires a little extra attention for feeding with meal mixers, etc so we can accommodate dogs that need some special work to eat. We both grew up in smaller towns and have had dogs our whole lives. There are many different pup parenting styles out there and we are happy to accommodate for the needs of each individual dog/owner. Additionally, we have experience in training puppies to be independent, walk on a leash, common commands, and potty training. We are happy to help train your new pup! Cats (for drop in or sitting): I grew up with cats and had two from the kitten stage. Currently, many of my friends have cats that I have helped care while they travel so I am versed in caring for them! I’ve had experience with administering pills, and give extra attention for feeding or play time! I know some cats can be temperamental which doesn’t scare me. I’m happy to give them space or attention during my stay with them. I can travel to your cat but +12min one way (+24min round trip) will be extra- thanks for understanding!
