​🐾 About Me & My Experience Welcome to your dog's home away from home! I have over 30 years of hands-on experience living with, training, and caring for dogs. From raising energetic puppies to providing specialized care and administering medications for seniors, I’ve handled all breeds, temperaments, and life stages with patience and love. ​🏡 The Home Environment Because I work from home full-time, your pup will enjoy constant supervision and companionship—they will never be left alone for long stretches! I own a single-family home in Staten Island with a large, and fully fenced-in backyard ​👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Meet the Family My household includes my two children (ages 9 and 12), who have grown up around dogs and know exactly how to be gentle and respectful of our furry guests. We also have a 6-year-old female German Shepherd named Nia. She is spayed, incredibly friendly, and absolutely loves having new playmates over! ​🐶 What Your Dog Can Expect: ​Constant Care: I am home all week, so your dog's routine will be strictly followed. ​Exercise: Multiple walks a day and unlimited backyard playtime. ​Safety: A completely secure, gated yard and a clean, smoke-free home. ​Medical Needs: Fully comfortable administering oral or injected medications. ​I treat every guest dog like a member of my own family. Let’s set up a Meet & Greet so you and your pup can check out the yard and meet the family!

Anthony was great. He was focused on my dog’s health and well being, sending a perfect number of updates over my dogs extended stay (>9 days). Our dogs played together a lot so I know my dog was not bored. I would definitely book with Anthony again!

Schedule

Since I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life. Your dog will rarely be left alone, giving me the ability to provide an incredibly flexible schedule. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, multiple walks a day, or just someone to hang out with while they nap, I have the time and presence to give them the exact attention they need.

Safety, trust & environment

I have over 30 years of hands-on dog experience, including administering oral and injected medications. We live in a 3-floor single-family home where your dog will have full access, plus a large, fully fenced-in backyard for safe, secure playtime. My household includes my two dog-savvy kids (ages 9 & 12) and our resident 6-year-old German Shepherd, Nia. She is fixed, incredibly friendly, and loves playing with guests!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning walk and breakfast. Because I am home all day, your dog will enjoy free access to the fenced backyard for sunbathing and playing with my dog, Nia. I can provide walks as often as your dog's normal routine requires. Between walks and yard time, we'll hang out in the house, play with toys, and wind down with plenty of evening cuddles with the family.

Anthony can host up to 2 pets per night
Just let me know your dog's typical daily routine so I can replicate it as closely as possible! Because I have a resident dog and children, it's also important for me to know how your pup generally interacts with kids and other pets, plus any allergies or special needs they might have.
