I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid and have always LOVED big dogs. I've fostered puppies and senior dogs in my home, and also have a dog. I understand special diet considerations, medication needs, and other special care that our fur babies need to thrive. Big or small, cat or dog, pets deserve attention, care, and consistency. I aim to provide that for every pet I care for. I treat the pets I care for like THEY are my paying clients - I'm always gentle, patient & never shout. This is my full time job. I love caring for animals and will provide frequent walks, games of fetch, and lots of snuggles (if your pet is into that!). Pets have the freedom to roam around, lounge on furniture, play, and access their food and water. I have one very friendly lab-mix named Yoda who loves to make new friends of both the animal and human variety. I understand the need for consistency in animal care, so I will play close attention to any special instructions you give to care for your fur baby. I also offer dog training and behavior consultation through my business Furry Companions NYC (LLC).
