Pet care experience

Hello my name is Destiny, I’m a well rounded individual has a passion for animals. I’ve been working in the animal welfare career for about eight years now. I started off as a doggy daycare attendant at happy paws, and broaden my horizons working at multiple animal shelters. Started it off at animal care Center of New York located in Manhattan. I worked there for about four years and I started as a kennel cleaner and worked my way up to veterinarian assistant. So I have experience in both medical handling as well as behavior. I am now currently working at ASPCA so I am used to seeing all different types of dogs and different types of behavior and learning how to work and adapt the needs for the dogs to feel comfortable with me. Working at these animal shelters help me get certified to become fear free. I I have a one bedroom apartment so I have enough space for your dogs or multiple dogs to run around. I look forward to meeting you and your dog someday.

Destiny was very communicative throughout the whole stay. She sent us many pictures and videos of our dogs which we appreciated! Highly recommend her!

Destiny was fantastic with our 2 kitties. This was the first time we left them and she did a great job keeping us updated with texts and videos. I highly recommend her if you want someone friendly and knowledgeable.
