I grew up in a dog owning family, my parents currently still have a dog (Sailor!) at home in New Jersey and I miss doggy companionship in New York! Live a very active lifestyle and would love to take your dog on runs with me. Currently Brooklyn-based but would happily come into Manhattan to care for your pet. I have experience caring for sick dogs - two of the dogs I had growing up died of cancer (common for Golden Retrievers) and I know how to make older dogs with illnesses feel comfortable - and have experience with very young puppies (picked up all of our pets at 8 weeks old!). Love dogs of all breeds, large and small, male and female, old and young!
