Pet care experience

*** SEE PROMO CODE BELOW *** *** PHOTOS AND UPDATES EVERY DAY *** I have been a professional dog walker and sitter since 2007 and I've loved every day of it--even the cold, wet, rainy ones. I was a full-time walker in Brooklyn for many years, caring for 15-16 dogs a day. Today I am semi-retired but ready to open my home and heart for your beloved family member. Your dog receives 3-4 walks a day, full run of the house (no cages or kennels) medication administered if needed, and lots of love and attention. BOARDING CLIENTS: If this is your first time using Rover, use this direct link: http://rover.com/sit/donm93204 and the promo code DONM93204 for $20 off your first boarding. You MUST use the link above and the promo code to get your discount. This discount is for clients signing up for Rover for the first time. WALKING CLIENTS: Unfortunately at this time I cannot accommodate one-time or short-term clients. Ongoing dogs only please.

I highly recommend Don! A wonderful caretaker. Our dog received lots of loving attention, including daily walks and snuggle time.

Highly recommend Don! Taking care of my senior pup was serious business for him - as a result, Banjo was anxiety free and fared beautifully. I’ll be re-booking.

Don was a wonderful caregiver for our dog. He spend time getting to know our dog before our stay, and we were very comfortable leaving him when the time came. We received notes and pictures daily and didn’t stress or worry that he was being well looked after. On pickup, we found our very happy dog spoiled by all the attention. We highly recommend Don

Don took such good care of my dogs! He communicated effectively and efficiently, and wanted to learn as much as he could about their needs. I received photos and updates about how they were doing and felt very much at ease about their stay with him. The dogs had a relaxing vacation and I won’t hesitate to book with Don again.
