Quiet, fun, attentive, devoted

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs and cats for many years. My last big guy -Becker past in May 2015, nearly 14 years old, with me since he was 10 weeks. After he passed I began to work for Pet Care Services. I have no children and currently (sadley) no pets :( I am available for weekends and all major Holidays. I own my apartment in North Riverdale, NY. I live near Van Cortlandt Park which has a fantastic off leash dog run as well as a smaller enclosed, off leash, area in Seton Park.

Once again, Caryn amazes me! She has been our dog and house sitter for over a year now and I just can't say enough great things about her. She has become best buds with my fear-aggressive dog (not an easy task to say the least!) and I know he is always getting the best of care when we are away. This says a lot considering I work in the animal welfare industry (for over 12 years now) and am incredibly picky about who watches our little guy. Caryn also goes WAY above and beyond when staying at our house with our dog - she tidies up, takes care of trash/recycling, mail, etc. It's always a pleasure to come back to an impeccably clean home and happy dog. I rarely write reviews because, honestly, it's hard to find good help in the world! But, Caryn is truly awesome. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and am happy to serve as a reference!
