Pet care experience

Pet-loving lawyer!

From a young age, my passion for dogs was undeniable—I even kept a journal documenting my dream of having one. In high school, this dream blossomed when I became a foster parent for my local animal shelter, forming deep bonds with the pets I cared for and realizing I needed a dog of my own. My parents in Maryland eventually adopted a Cavachon puppy, and I eagerly took on the responsibility of house-training and socializing our new family member. Although I now live in New York and can only visit my beloved family dog on weekends, I channel my love for dogs into pet-sitting for my neighbors. While studying at Columbia Law School, Rover became my go-to side job, and I've never looked back. Over the years, I've had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals, each with their own unique needs and personalities. I’m experienced with dogs that may not get along with other pets, as well as those with behavioral issues. One of my regular clients is an elderly dog who requires oral medication and wears diapers, and I happily adhere to these special requests, treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it's providing a comforting presence, administering medication, or ensuring they feel loved and secure, I bring a wealth of experience and a deep passion for animal care to every pet I watch. Let me share my love for animals with your furry family members while you're away!

Ana was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable about how to take care of our Goldendoodle. She even took the time to meet us ahead of time to meet our Brooklyn, and he loved her right away. She kept in touch with us throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. I will definitely use her again!

Ana was AMAZING!!!! So wonderful with my super anxious dog. Communicative, patient and kind. When I picked my dog up he was soooo happy and seemed calm. I have already booked again with them. Highly recommend.

Ana was a great dog sitter. She sent updates throughout my dog’s stay, responded promptly, and also flagged any potential concerns.

Ana was fantastic with watching our Emma and even being flexible with our somewhat last minute booking and even stepping in when something came up on her end as well. Would totally book again and I know Emma was very well taken care of!

Schedule

My partner and I combined are working from home almost every day. That being said, we have plenty of time to spend giving hugs to and playing with your pets! My weekends are also free so I love to establish bonds with my neighborhood doggies during that time.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment, but I am only steps away from a local park with a bunch of grass and doggy play areas. I will definitely be taking the pups for long walks there where they can also meet other dogs (if the client so wishes, of course!) In my apartment, your pet is allowed to roam as freely as he/she wants (including all furniture and the bed). I am also more than happy to bathe your pet and do whatever grooming needs to be done for them to feel comfortable. What’s mine is theirs!

A typical day

We are going to play with lots of toys at my apartment and go for long walks at the park right next-door. I also love to reinforce the tricks that the pets I watch know (always making sure to reward with many treats)!

Please let me know about any special needs, or unexpected dietary restrictions/allergies that your pet may have. I am happy to help as best as I can. I’ve had experience working with dogs who are not the friendliest and may suffer from anxiety and depression.
