Pet care experience
A long-time NYC resident providing services in the Chelsea/Hells Kitchen neighborhood and in LA, I was the proud parent of a temperamental Shar-Pei Chow and a fun-loving 14-year old Frenchie. BOARDING (on a limited basis) - provide a safe and happy home for your pup to play / socialize and then take a rest on one of the sofas or dog beds. Ideal boarding pups are socialized, not high energy but enjoy playtime. I live within walking distance of the Chelsea Waterside dog park for off-leash running and socializing, but plenty of on-leash opportunities for exercise if the dog park isn’t your pup’s speed. I take one dog max per day so your dog gets plenty of personalized attention. My goal as a sitter is to keep your pup safe while making sure he/she goes home happy and tired. I’ve been on the other side of Rover as a client and understand the leap of faith required to trust a new sitter. Your dogs are family - I get that, and you have the assurance that your pup will be safe with me. Accordingly, a meet and greet is required for new clients to make sure I am the best care taker for your dog and to answer any questions you might have for me. Note: discounts apply for boarding service for a week or longer. Please inquire and I can send you a new quote for longer-term boarding. WALKING - I have several great walking buddies, my favorites being a beautiful and well behaved Dalmatian, but whether he/she needs walking or time at one of two dog parks within blocks of me, they'll have the chance to do their business or get the exercise they need. I am home all day and can adapt to your pup’s needs. You tell me what is the routine for your dog and I will do my absolute best to accommodate. Lots of love and attention up front so that your dog knows he/she is safe and cared for. Separation anxiety has not once been a problem. Thanks so much for considering me and I look forward to hearing from you.
Reviews
Great dog walker!! Thank you David.
Thanks David, it was our son's wedding day in NYC, you put our mind at ease and you were super flexible. Definitely will contact you again, next time we are in town!
David was wonderful and very trust worthy. I left Massimo for 4 nights and they had a wonderful time. Would book again!
Ellie had another fabulous experience with David, as so did I as her owner! Communication is clear and prompt, and David was flexible with my last minute needs. I was so happy seeing the photos of Ellie enjoying herself with comfort, ease, and safety. Five star rating!
