Care for your dog like it's my own!
Pet care experience
I am a young professional living in the West Village with my fiancé Tim. I have always loved dogs and grew up with a dalmatian (Perdita) and a chihuahua (Meeko). Tim is also a dog lover and grew up with a husky / shepherd mix (Max). Since we are not able to own a pet in our building, we are constantly seeking ways to keep dogs a big part of our life! For the past three years I have volunteered at Animal Haven Shelter in Soho, and I have experience fostering and sitting for dogs / puppies of all different breeds and sizes--and with many different temperaments and medical needs. I would love to take care of your dog when you need a hand! More about me and my availability: I am responsible, reliable, and caring. I work full-time in midtown so your dog will need to be able to spend a work day home alone. However Tim is often available to help out on weekdays if a lunch break walk is needed, and weeknights and weekends are wide open as indicated by my calendar. Your dog will get the care and support of two experienced, responsible dog lovers for the price of one! My experience administering medication: I have a lot of experience caring for a toy poodle with a heart condition, so I am very comfortable administering medication orally. I have less experience with injectables, but I am a quick learner and can accommodate with detailed instructions.
Reviews
Calli is fantastic dog sitter! If I ever need someone to care for my cockapoo puppy Jerry she is the first person I call!! She truly loves animals and I know Jerry will be in the best hands when I leave him with her. I highly recommend her!

Information Calli M. would like to know about your pet
Let's do a meet & greet! Though I have no breed requirements or preferences, it is helpful to know the general temperament of your dog in advance, as well as any special needs, allergies / dietary restrictions, exercise preferences, etc. Finally if your dog has separation anxiety or can be reactive in certain situations (e.g., to other dogs, men, children) it is important for me to understand their behavioral quirks, so I can help avoid any unnecessary stress and make them feel as comfortable as possible.
A typical day
Living in the West Village, I have easy access to great paths / parks for your pup. I frequently go for long walks / runs in Hudson River walk from Chelsea down to Battery Park, and I enjoy hanging out in Washington Square Park. I will take your dog for walks as frequently as you prefer, and no less than 3 times per day. Particularly on weekends, I would love to spend hours outside enjoying the city with your dog. I promise to spend as much time with your dog as possible! Extra house-sitting services: In addition to taking care of your dog in the comfort of your own home, I am happy to also take care of your home while you are away (e.g., getting the mail, watering your plants, etc.)
