Pet care experience

Bronx Pet Sitter w/ Cozy Yard ✅

I’m based in Throggs Neck in the Bronx, and I’ve been caring for animals my whole life from energetic puppies to gentle senior pets. Friends, family, neighbors, and clients have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I take that trust seriously. My home offers a comfortable place to relax and a secure backyard for supervised playtime. Whether your dog enjoys exploring on walks, playing outside, or settling in for some company, I’ll get to know their personality and help them feel at home. I share my home with two cats, Logan and Serenity, and have separate spaces to keep visiting dogs and my cats apart when needed. Before a stay, we’ll discuss your dog’s experience around other animals and make sure my setup is a good fit. I’m home much of the day, with scheduled outings for dog walks and other commitments. We’ll go over your pet’s feeding schedule, potty breaks, exercise needs, and comfort with alone time so we can agree on a routine that works for them. Clear communication matters to me. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Please share any medical needs, behavioral concerns, or special habits beforehand so I can understand the care your pet needs. For new boarding clients, I arrange a meet and greet before confirming a stay. Feel free to reach out with your dates and a little about your pet I’d love to get to know them!

Our pugs stayed with Dean for 3 nights. Dean updated us a couple times a day with pictures. He is such a kind person and we could certainly tell he is an animal lover. We would most definitely use Dean again!!

Highly recommend Dean! His communication style is professional & caring. He eased all my anxiety as it was difficult leaving my new puppy in someone’s care. He gives updates, is prompt, and even helped my pup socialize with trusted dogs. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! I’ll be booking again.

Dean was very kind to my furry baby. I went to pick her up and she smelled good. He gave her a bath. This was very much appreciated. Thank you for wonderful service! Julia

Dean took wonderful care of Blaze for the week. He provided photos and detail descriptions to ensure that I stay connected, while on vacation. He responds quickly and is a very attentive sitter. I felt at ease knowing that Blaze was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Dean to others and book with him again!

I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets with 24/7, around-the-clock availability. Don’t worry about messaging too early or too late it’s never too early or too late when it comes to your furry family member. I’m happy to accommodate same-day bookings, weekend stays, and weekday visits, making sure your pets always get the love, play, and companionship they deserve.😌

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a secure fenced yard for safe outdoor play and a pet-friendly home environment with two gentle cats who are used to being around other animals. I follow feeding and care instructions closely, can crate your dog if requested, and make sure pets have constant access to fresh water, clean spaces, and plenty of affection.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, active, and comfortable. We’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor time in my secure yard, go on walks around the neighborhood, and play engaging games that stimulate both body and mind. In between activities, I provide downtime with cuddles, fresh water, and a calm space so your pet feels safe and loved.

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of so I can give them the best care possible. I welcome pets of all breeds and personalities, and I’ll happily adjust to their unique quirks, dietary needs, or medication schedules. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can ensure your pet feels at home and cared for.
