Information Dean F. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

I service all five boroughs as well as Westchester. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, from energetic puppies to gentle senior pets. I’m available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week it’s never too early or too late to message me. I share my home with two friendly cats who keep to themselves and a secure backyard perfect for playtime. Friends, family, clients and neighbors have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and give plenty of love to their pets. I’m home most of the day, can provide potty breaks every 0–2 hours, and happily accommodate same-day bookings. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, a safe space, or fun outdoor time, I’ll make them feel at home. If your dog isn’t comfortable around cats, no worries my cats have their own separate area to roam, and dogs won’t encounter them if they’re uneasy. You can feel confident knowing your pup will have plenty of space and peace of mind here. For added convenience, I also offer optional pickup and drop-off for your dog, cat, or other pets for a small additional fee. I’m located near both LaGuardia (LGA) and JFK Airport, and I can provide airport-friendly transport for you and your pet together meaning I can pick you up or drop you off at the airport while also safely transporting your pet to my home for their stay. This makes travel day easier, saves on rideshare costs, and ensures your pet stays calm and comfortable from the moment you arrive. Just ask anytime, and I’ll make sure your furry friend arrives safely and stress-free.

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
