Information Dina L. would like to know about your pet

Knowing if your dog has any special needs, behavioral issues i.e. has issues with other animals (dogs, cats, squirrels, etc), likes to pull on walks. Anything that you think can help me be the best caregiver I can be while you are away!

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks around the neighborhood and exploring all the beautiful nature this area has to offer. I'm happy to play catch too or a good game of tug of war :) The main thing for me is to spend time with your beloved fur baby, and give them the same love that YOU do!

Dina L.'s Neighborhood

Animal lover first and foremost!

Pet care experience

Pet care found ME... I did not find it. After cuddling with random dogs I'd meet on the street my whole life, someone finally asked me "Why don't you take care of pets professionally?" And thus a career was born (which I've adored ever since). I owned my own pet care company for over 15 years while living in NYC and NJ. Now, I’m based in Ithaca, and look forward to taking care of your fur baby! I am not working full time and have plenty of downtime. Thus, my schedule is super flexible and easily adjustable to your pet care needs! I treat all pets as if they were my own. I had a chow chow for many years, which was a member of our family and that is how I view ALL animals. They are part of our lives and our hearts and should be treated with just as much kindness and love as their human counterparts.

Absolutely fantastic. Izzy loves her and she really helped us out. On time, stays the full 30 min plus, loving and caring. We would give her 10 stars if you offered them. We can’t wait to use her again
