Pet care experience
AVAILABILITY: Our typical service area is W 70 to W 115th. If you are outside this area, please note in your service request :) Patricio : currently unavailable Claire : drops ins (taking new clients for bookings that start on/after May 20th. Unavailable June 14-June 19) When possible, we try to both show up to meet and greets. Depending on you and your pet’s preference as well as our availability, we may also both show up to the visits. Your comfort is our priority (as well as clear communication), if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! About Patricio: Interacting with animals has always brought me joy, and I’m happy to make it a more integral part of my life. I have grown up with dogs and have found a lot of pleasure in seeing their personalities flourish and tending to their needs. I’m also very fond of cats. Last summer, Claire and I fostered two kittens and it was a very rewarding experience. I recently graduated with a degree in International Relations and enjoy being in nature in my spare time. I am also a native Spanish speaker. About Claire: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life! I had my German Shepherd, Emma, since she was a puppy until her passing at 13. Animals have always been special to my heart and I'm so happy to be able to help dogs, cats, and their owners in their day to day lives. I’m a senior at NYU studying English. In my spare time, I love to read, watch documentaries, cook, and spend time outdoors. General Info: We’ve worked with dogs of many ages and breeds and can accommodate any level of training. We have lots of experience with larger dogs (Irish Wolfhounds, Bernese Mountain, Doberman, Laborador, Border Collies, German Shepherds, etc) as well as smaller dogs (Pomeranians, Beagles, Chihuahuas, dachshunds). We’ve also encountered many different types of personalities with cats as well as cared for chickens, lizards, fish, hamsters, bunnies, and axolotls. What we will we do: We love to adhere to any routine you have established with your dog/cat to ease any anxiety they may have while you're away. We have had pets of our own and would be hesitant to leave them with a stranger which is why we will take care of your pets as if they were our own! We send frequent updates, pictures, videos, or anything else you might want. We provide a free meet and greet to make sure both you and your dog/cat are comfortable! COVID PRECAUTIONS : We are both fully vaccinated + booster
Reviews
Claire was so great with our cat while we were out of town! Provided great photos, descriptions, and time with him.
Claire always does a phenomenal job caring for our cat. She has some special needs and Claire accommodates them perfectly. Claire also goes out of her way to keep the food and litter area clean. Our cat is always very calm and happy when we get home, clearly because of Claire’s care and attention. Would highly recommend!
Claire is a fabulous cat sitter! Not only did she manage to coax our shy kitty, Ziggy, out of hiding, but she was also expert at pilling our other kitty, Ollie. Claire is loving and attentive to the moods of both cats and her daily report cards with sweet pictures are a delight to read. In addition, Claire was "on the ball" with letting us know when our apartment fire alarm battery started beeping. Thanks to her, we were able to get the issue taken care of immediately. We feel confident leaving our two Toybob kitties in Claire's care when we need to be away. Thank you, Claire!
Claire has been great, she took good care of my cat and kept me well informed of how her visits went. I really appreciated her daily recaps, with sweet pictures and videos. I would strongly recommend her.
