Foster/rescued for 6 years!
Pet care experience
I am a professional dancer attending NYU. My whole family has worked in pet care, fostering, rescue, and all forms of animal care since I was born. I have never been without 6 or more dogs in my house and I am extremely experienced in caring for animals and dogs of all sizes and all behaviors. I have even been around several animal emergencies, and assisted multiple dogs in puppy birth etc. One of my home dogs has epilepsy, and another is blind. I’ve even learned to play with three legged dogs as we had one for 13 years. I am not afraid of any dogs, I have no judgement towards any pet breeds, and I am full of love for the whole plethora of pups. I’m extremely athletic and ready to show them a good workout and a whole lot of love! My place is located very close to the Tompkins square dog park, and I actually enjoy walking a lot. I also live two blocks from a pet store in case your pet has any last minute needs. Im always willing to alter my treatment to your dogs needs and your preferences :) One thing I will mention, since I live in an apartment I do have neighbors. If you’re unsure how your dog acts in a different environment (they’ve never stayed without you, or you don’t have details on their behavior when you’re gone) I probably will request that they have a crate while in my place. Sometimes a dog will act entirely differently when away from their owner, barking/whining- I just need to know and prepare beforehand so as to not disturb the people in my building. Another simple formality, if your dog is not created and damages my belongings or my household while it is not my favorite thing to do, I will most likely ask for compensation. These requests are simply based on prior experience and what is formal!
Reviews
Another trip, another great experience with Coco. She was super flexible in drop off and pick up. Malbec came home happy, healthy, and a little tired which is always a good sign she had a great time! Highly recommend Coco. I’m glad we found her.
Coco was great! She totally put my mind at ease :)
Coco was great with my dogs and very communicative with me! Would absolutely have her watch them again!
I would highly recommend Coco to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, friendly and responsive sitter. We left our energetic mutt with her for 3 nights and will be crossing our fingers that she is available the next time we travel. She made it easy to do a meet and great and accommodated flexible drop off and pick up. She sent lots of pictures over the course of the weekend and always responded quickly to any messages from us checking in. During drop off we walked with her and our pup to the dog park and upon entering another dog got aggressive with ours and she immediately got her attention and took her. I tell that story because it proved to me she had a high dog IQ and was a responsible dog handler. Something she proved over the course of the weekend.

Information Coco W. would like to know about your pet
I don’t have dog preferences, all dogs are loved by me! I’ve handled all sizes of dogs as well as all temperaments. I just have to know their triggers and how to keep them personally safe, every dog has a personality of their own! I certainly have no breed preferences or prejudices, I’ve mainly had some of the most widely hated dogs (pitt bulls) and I know it’s all about how an animal is raised. The only thing is I can’t BOARD dogs that are loud, my apartment building is close together so if they have a tendency to bark when you’re not around (some act differently without their owners) then we would have to discuss a way to quell that, or my home may not be the best fit, which is no hard feelings!
A typical day
I can walk your dog all over the city, through central park, and I am located right by Tompkins Square which has its own dog park for us to play in if that’s what they like :) I love to cuddle dogs at home though also, the lazy ones are welcome too!
