Blue's Haven

Pet care experience

Welcome Everyone, My name is Angel. I originally started hosting pups to help ease the pain of losing Blue. I lost Blue, my 15 year old Siberian Husky to Wobblers disease 7 years ago. I watched Blue transition from a 3 month old ball of energy into my old man. I started re-directing my sadness by hosting. That is when I came up with Blue's Haven, a second home for dogs to feel safe and secure in as Blue did. As I was going through the healing process I suffered another devastating loss. My Beloved Spaz in Late Feb 2014. Spaz was my 11 year old apple- head Siamese cat. Spaz was my helpless romantic. The bond I shared with both my boys was unbelievable. These emotional roller coasters has left me with much heartache while suffering from empty nest syndrome. Upon these tragic times, I am not yet ready to fully commit to another paw friend. However, I still have plenty of love, care and space to share. This is how Blue's Haven comes into effect. In our household remains 1 awesome cat by the name of Chill. He minds his business most of the time. Chill terribly misses his brothers Spaz and Blue. Going from a household of 3 pets to now 1 has been pretty hard on him. He welcomes canine company so Blue's long distance cousins are welcome. I am an active, married, young professional in my early 40's who works from home. I currently work in a variety of fields. I have over 24 years experience caring for dogs. I have a large knowledge of all dogs, but specialize in handling large breeds. My former pups and I have completed Dog Obedience Courses Level 1 & 2 with the ASPCA over the years. I still maintain those tools as a reference as I host different guest. I have great availability to take on your Doggy Vacay. I generally stick to one on one stays in which your pup would be the only canine in my care. On occasion, I may host more than one pup at once. I only host multiples when I am personally familiar with their temperaments and have cleared it okay with all owners beforehand. I am also able to accommodate multiple, same house hold siblings: ) Manhattan LOCATION: We are excited to welcome our services back to the NYC. Our home is located in a wonderful neighborhood. We have a large, sunny, apartment located along Riverside drive. We are located by several parks & walking trails. We look forward to hosting pups in the area as well as surrounding boroughs over for a retreat. I personalize each experience to minimally interrupt your pups routines. I am pretty flexible. Just inform me of your specific needs. Highly active to couch potatoes- big or small. I love to explore new sites and scents. We will keep BUSY unless your pup requires different needs. We are constantly on the road and love to invite our allowing guest to come along with us. Your pup will be a central part of our family. Help me keep the legacy of Blue's Haven alive. Don't just book a stay, book an experience : ) In my home: Chill: awesome sidekick feline that welcomes canine company Small children are present in the home. They are respectful of my clients and provide them their space. They have been around over 75 different pup clients with no issues : )

Angel is our absolute go to sitter for our pup Rhubarb. We have trusted her to help take care of her since she was just 3 months old. She always sends pictures and always has all her toys packed up and food/water bowls cleaned when we come to pick her up. We love that Rhubarb gets more experience with kids with Angel too! Rhubarb has a lot of separation anxiety but she is always excited to see Angel. We love her!

Angel was great. She treated Mae like her own pup, kept her with the family and made sure she got exercise! I’ll definitely use her again!

Angel was so kind and generous! She welcomed my puppy at the last minute, tolerated my time adjustments, and even stayed up *very* late for my pickup - all with gentle words and a warm smile. She sent sweet photos of Vesper sitting with the kids and relaxing by the fireplace, and ‘tho she loves to play my pup had a private spa experience as there were no other dogs that day. (Angel took her out to her own puppy run for exercise.) I highly recommend this sweet hostess and her lovely home! I’m a fan! Thank you, Angel!

Angel was amazing. I felt comfortable leaving my golden retriever with her. So much space to run around with the dog run. She is very detailed and wants to know as much about your dog as possible to make the stay comfortable. My dog looked so happy with the picture updates playing, running, and got to go on a long walk. I definitely recommend Angel and I plan to go back to her in the future with my dog. So nice and happy with everything.

Information Angel A. would like to know about your pet

I have a short list of general questions I go over with all clients during our meet and greet or phone chat. I love to know about their individual temperament, favorite past times, routines, and also how you and your pup united. I try to make sure their routines are minimally interrupted. I like to provide a experience rather than a stay when I host your pup. * At this time I do not take board in my home senior pups nor pups with aggression issues.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will take your pup on a tour of the historic neighborhood. There are plenty of parks, trails and dog runs near by. I am always looking for a new adventure and your pup will surely be included in that adventure. I love to travel everywhere by foot or a drive to discover new places and scenery. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever comfortable : ) Time I'll spend with your dog I will be available 24 hrs. I love to play, and stay active with them. If i travel, they travel with me. I strive on making the experience very personal.
