While I am not a dog owner myself, my girlfriend and I have provided dog-sitting services to friends for many years. We always viewed it as a win-win for us: we get to help our friends while pretending to have our own dog for a few days! We both love doggos, so rest assured that your pet will be in a loving home. You should essentially expect your pup to join our family unit, i.e. #JoinThePack. Part of my motivation for joining Rover is to spend more time with a variety of breeds, so that we can make a more informed decision when we finally take the plunge and get a furry friend to join our family. I am home (nearly) full-time, which means your dog will have a lot of contact with me during the day. I typically spend several hours on the computer (both at my desk and on the couch), and I always try to get my pups to join me. We have a large yard, and I'm outside often (even in colder months); therefore, your dog will be as well. I also take the Pack on several #PackWalks each day, often to the dog parks in Washington Square Park so they can sniff some butts and run around with their friends. Between regular walks and our outdoor space, Pack members benefit from an outsized amount of exercise and outdoor time. In the evenings, Miss Fonzie and I can usually be found on our couch, preferably with a few fuzz bucket doggos at our sides. While I love to play with my dog friends, I am a no-nonsense type of Pack leader, and expect your pet to be well-behaved. Of late, I have been learning a lot about dogs, their psychology and behaviors, and your dog will benefit from a healthy, disciplined Pack environment. I run a tight, but loving ship, so know that your pup will receive a combination of love and discipline (mostly love). You can follow the Pack on Instagram @FonziesPack to get a sense for what #PackLife will be like for your pup. The Pack only follows the Alpha, so the Pack will not follow you back. My primary bugaboos: -- Dogs that don't get along with other pups or demonstrate aggressive behaviors -- Dogs that express themselves with sound, i.e. barking / whining when left alone or during play time (out of respect for my neighbors) Please note the following when making a booking request: -- To ensure accurate pricing and communication efficiency, please include your drop-off + pickup times at #PackHQ in the request -- If interested in pick-up or drop-off service, please include logistics (address, gear, timing, etc.) in order to receive an accurate custom quote -- The Rover platform often errs on the side of underpricing a typical stay. I have given serious and careful consideration to the well-being of your dog and the logistics and timing of your pup's stay with me. All prices are custom and are not negotiable. Thank you for your understanding.
Reviews
Great attention to detail and great communication throughout stay!
Took amazing care of my girls! Very very happy!
Al was a consummate professional! He gave the girls fantastic walks, was in constant communication with photos and texts, and took the best care of my fur babies! Most importantly, Charlotte and Madeline came home happy, clean, and worn out! /) I will be using Al for all of my future needs. 10 stars!
Al is the best. He is kind and knowledgeable. I always feel comfortable when I leave my dog with him

Information Alfonso R. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any separation anxiety, behavioral issues, quirks or phobias? Is your dog aggressive with other pups? Does your dog have any issues with other dogs, children, skateboards, etc.?
A typical day
We will spend a good deal of time walking to and from Washington Sqaure Park, with its two dog runs for both small and large dogs. We'll also hang out in the backyard, which is full of fun places to sniff around, explore, and even do some good old-fashion wilding.
