I am a former foster mom for the past 4 years, working primarily with North Star lab rescue! I live right in the East Village near Tompkins square dog park and lots of little side streets to explore with your dog! I have a great back patio space that gives the dogs a chance to burn some extra energy and opens up my living space! The patio is on the ground floor and is fully secured! I just moved to New York after working with Rover for over a year in Boston! I am currently working from home and have plenty of time to help take care of your furry friend! I do have a 2 year old black lab- he is very friendly with humans and other dogs. Before your dog arrives please let me know a detailed list of their likes and dislikes plus basic habits! I'll try and keep the same schedule they are used to to make it feel more comfortable !
