Hi there! My name is Estelle Cimino and I am an avid dog and animal lover and adore spending time with all kinds of dogs. I have owned dogs for over 20 years. All of my dogs were raised from puppies and lived to ripe old ages beyond the average for their breed and size. I have been pet sitting for 7 years, because I love dog energy, am passionate about dogs, and I know how hard it is to travel and enjoy your time away when you're concerned about who will take good care of your best friend. My goal is to relieve any stress and anxiety your pet may have when your pup is away from you. I will take excellent care of your dog ensuring he/she feels loved and has a best friend by her/his side. I will also make sure your home is safe and secure and well-cared for bringing in mail, watering plants and doing light housekeeping activities. I will pamper your dog and no matter what breed or age he/she will get lots of love, 1-1 attention, walks, playtime, and rest. As a dog owner and sitter of dogs at all ages I have plenty of experience with puppies to seniors. I am comfortable giving medications. Whatever your pup is used to at home is how I will care for them. I want to understand your pet’s preferences and routines so we can maintain what is most comfortable for all. I work from home most days so your dog will not be alone for extended periods. Many dogs sleep near me during the workday and get lots of love and attention when I take breaks. Ideally your dog would be house broken and has minimal separation anxiety/barking. Obviously, we would take extra care for puppies and I can assist with training. If you desire, I can send you brief daily updates on how your pet is doing. Contact me for more information and to set up a meet and greet. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a child and my first dog was a white German Shepherd. Since then I have owned 3 dogs, 2 Akitas and 1 Norwegian Elkhound. I trained all of my dogs when they were puppies and was devoted to their well-being throughout their long lives. My experience administering medication I have no problem administering medication and have done so with my own dogs as well as dogs that I have cared for.
