Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious Brooklyn townhome with plenty of room for dogs to move around comfortably. We’re just a 5-minute walk to Prospect Park, so boarded or daycare dogs get real outdoor time with open grass and space to run. I’m experienced with both small and large breeds and know how to create a calm, safe environment for dogs whether I’m hosting at my place or visiting yours.

Information Erica S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any interesting quirks I should be mindful of or anything that makes your dog nervous. It’s also helpful for me to know if there’s any separation anxiety and if the dog can be left alone for any period of time. Although I do work from home and I’m home often, my preference is for a dog that can be home alone for at least 3-4 hours just in case I need to run out for anything.

A typical day

I like mental stimulation for the dogs and letting the dogs control the walk. We go where they want to go and explore where they want to. It’s their walk, not mine. I love taking cool photos of the pups around the neighborhood and the pet parents usually enjoy it. I go on long walks (45 min-60 min) if the dog is up for it and weather permitting.

Brooklyn Lawyer/Lifelong Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life — growing up with them at home gave me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs, for friends and family through walks, drop-ins, and home stays. As a remote-working attorney, I bring the same reliability and attention to detail to pet care that I do to my professional life. Your pup will always be in trustworthy, attentive hands.

Finding a trustworthy dog walker can be stressful, but Erica put my mind at ease. She was highly professional, communicative and displays a true love for animals. I appreciated the text updates and photos from their outings. I now know I can travel when necessary without worries. Thank you Erica. Looking forward to working with you in the future.
