Pet care experience

Where your pet wants to be !

I grew up loving dogs, as well as all animals. Ive worked hard at learning all the best tips and techniques in dog training, and devoted much of my free time to understanding all pups unique Personalities and tending to their needs. I started dog walking at 15 for friends and family and after word of mouth spread about my services, went on to pet-sit professionally. I’ve been doing that full-time for several years. I guess you could say that early childhood experience really resonated with me, as I’ve gone on to make pet-care a huge part of my life! Throughout the years I have gained so much experience caring for all types of dog sizes, breeds and temperaments. I have the training to back up my passion for pets and im more than capable at handling any pet challenge that comes my way! I take my business seriously and im professional and organized with any task given. My clients tend to book with me repeatedly because I listen carefully to their instructions and execute them completely. Dogs gravitate to my warm personality and can sense my genuine concern for their well-being. In my experience, dogs don’t take long at all to open up to me, but if your pup is a bit shy, I will take my time to earn their trust. I might even bring a treat or two to help them out! Rodrigo my partner has several years of experience as well both professional and personal. He’s Does handle most of the transporting and out of home care. He is also a lot more knowledgeable with behavioral & basic training if that’s something you’d need as well. The two of us together make an unstoppable team! We work hard and provide exceptional service. Your pups happiness and safety is our #1 priority. Send me a message—dog walking and pet-sitting is my career so my schedule is open, flexible and ready to shape to your needs! We try to work with everyone’s budget so feel free to message us for a custom rate! We work out of both our homes one is in Jackson Heights queens and one is in Bayonne NJ. We have two separate accounts on rover one for each location but I like to mention it here as well as we sometimes will need to take your pup for a ride to attend a walk or drop in.

Rodrigo was excellent with my pet Apollo. Apollo looked forward to going on his walks with him. I will definitely use them again as they were so attentive and communicative with each walk.

My sweet puppy clearly had a great time hanging out with Ashley & Rodrigo 🙏🥰 They truly care about his wellbeing and the wellbeing of animals in general. The most important thing to me is that our puppy feels safe and comfortable and I would 100% rebook and recommend them for your fur babies.

Ashley and Rodrigo are amazing! They took great care of Bruno. As an owner of a giant breed do it is hard finding someone who takes care of our Saint Bernard. Ashley and Rodrigo both listen to all of our concerns of Bruno, and made sure that he was happy during his stay with them. They kept us posted, sending us pictures and videos. I will highly recommend them to anyone. Bruno came back happy with his stay. :)

Normally when I leave my babies with a sitter and ask for photo updates every pic looks like a proof of life photo for hostage negotiations because my dogs make their discomfort very visible. This is the first time that I can say with confidence that my babies looked completely comfortable with their host family and the other dogs being boarded that weekend. Will definitely be booking Ashley and Rodrigo in the future. Thank you for allowing me to feel at ease while on vacation.

Schedule

I’m a full time sitter/ walker I never leave any pups alone so we don’t use crates unless requested by the owner. Either Rodrigo or I will always be home with your pup. Our daily lives revolve around all the pups we care for, so we’re very flexible and try to always accommodate you.

Safety, trust & environment

We’re able to accommodate both social pups and pups that are better off Alone. We have multiple floors and entrances which allow us to separate pups when needed. We always have fur friends for your pup to play so them being bored or lonely will never be an issue. We have a fully fenced yard your pup will get to enjoy regularly as well.

A typical day

Dogs love to spend time in my (owned) home because it is generous in size and has a big, fenced-in backyard perfect for free roaming time. Clients love my home because it is located in a safe, dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of sidewalks for walking and exploring. I take the pups to the local dog park regularly (if you’re okay with that ) and have tons of toys and treats to share. Your pup will have so much fun with me, I promise they will barely notice you’re gone!
