Pet care experience

I’ve owned and taken care of a diverse group of animals since the age of 12. Dogs, cats, birds, rodents, & reptiles. I am skilled in basic animal behavior and animal first aid. I’ve taken care of animals with strict diets as well as animals that require medical necessities. I am also a NYS certified first responder (EMS) that can provide basic care that is suitable for larger animals. Walking, bathing, feeding, training, medicine administering; I do it all.

Essence was a great host for our Fiona. She is very patient and thoughtful and put in the effort to make sure our pup was comfortable and adjusting. We would absolutely have our dog stay with her again.

Essence is so wonderful with my dog Winnie. she goes above and beyond with a smile and a sense of humor. I’m very fortunate that she agreed to walk my pup, who isn’t the easiest to walk. Highly recommend Essence!

Essence is so responsible and caring with my pup. She went out of her way to walk Winnie when she was already caring for two other pups.

Information Essence S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs; (ie) disability, medical attention, behavioral issues, diet etc. What are your dogs likes/dislikes? Triggers? Commands? Favorite toy? Favorite food?

A typical day

I love to go on long walks and explore new places in order to stimulate your dog. Check out one or two doggy parks and meet some new doggy friends. Staying active, that way your dog releases the energy he/she needs.
