Pet care experience

Your dogs, treated like family!!

I am recently retired NYPD Detective who has had dogs all 45 years of my life. My Frenchie recently passed and I am looking to do some dog walking and/or sitting. My last few rescue dogs all had a variety of health problems including surgery to remove my Frenchies ear canal rendering him deaf, my Boston Terrier had severe allergies, his dermatologist taught me how to administer immunotherapy shots to him, as well as two of my boxers becoming geriatric and cancer-ridden. So I do have some experience with sickly dogs. I also offer drop in visits for those days your pup is left for long hours alone, I can take them out and play with them to get some pentup energy out and keep them happy while you work. Dog walking is also an option that I offer, any size dog, I can take them on daily walks through the neighborhood, please reach out and we can discuss your needs. I am also insured, to give you peace of mind. Thank you for your time!

As usual Erin and her family took great care of Gidget. Gidget is always so happy to go there. She is so content being there which makes us happy.

Schedule

I do have three younger children all in school during the day so walking or spending time with dogs during the day is something I am seeking. I would also take dogs for sitting, long or short term as long as they are good with children. I would only take one dog/dog family at a time to ensure your dog(s) are treated as family members.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard, and I have no restrictions on your dogs unless you have those restrictions at your home, ie. no furniture etc. Being a retired detective you can trust me to your home without any worry of theft, as a member of law enforcement for the past 20 years, I value law and abiding the law tot he fullest extent.

A typical day

I love to give your dog time and attention. I have a fenced in yard to play with them outside to get some of their energy out. Then they can cuddle up with me and my family on the couch and feel like they are at home.
