Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy Walks. Cozy Stays. 💚
(Hi, please please read before requesting thank you!) I give dogs a real outdoor life in NYC Walks are always tailored to your dog.. slow strolls or longer walks for active pups. Lots of fresh air, sniffing, and exploring on walks, (for boarding clients) plus access to safe gated outdoor spaces when it fits your dog and your preference. I'm a dog mom myself so I understand how much our dogs mean to us. I've been caring for dogs for over 5 years and treat every pup like my own. I have Fear Free shelter informed training and volunteer with the ASPCA, so | pay close attention to how dogs are feeling and always move at their pace. For Boarding Clients I’m Based in the Bronx (just 4 stop away from East Village), I work with city dogs who need more space and a calmer environment without leaving NYC. Your dog will get a balanced day... outdoor time, structured walks, play, enrichment and downtime. ✨🚇Pickup & drop-off available for all NYC Clients.

Ratings and reviews
Ethel and her daughter were absolutely amazing. It was our first time leaving Kit with someone on Rover for an extended period of time and Ethel made us feel so comfortable. We looked forward to getting updates throughout the day. We knew Kit was in great hands and was being taken care of. Kit definitely enjoyed her time there and we would definitely book Ethel again!
Ethel was amazing! She was very attentive and communicative, and gave me lots of detailed updates throughout the day. She kindly followed my dog’s usual feeding and walking schedule, even carried my senior dog for stairs and adjusted walking and playing style based on my dog’s personality and energy level. I would definitely book another daycare or boarding with her :)))
The absolute best!! Our first choice every time!!
Ethel always makes sure my dogs have a great time, while keeping me updated and providing flexibility when life gets tricky. I so appreciate her help, and will definitely come to her in the future if in need of walking or boarding!
She Updated very often and helped my anxiety with leaving my dog with someone else. My dog seemed happy and had a good time.
Remy had another great weekend with Ethel! She gave us a good recommendation for a pupsicle enrichment toy that Remy loved while boarding with her, we’re excited to buy one of our own for him. Loved her photo updates throughout the weekend as usual! Thanks again Ethel!

I work part time, which gives me flexibility and time to focus on your dog. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and make sure your dog gets the attention they need.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I follow your pups usual routine, meals and any special instructions and do my best to make them feel right at home. I keep the space clean and safe and I love sending lots of updates, photos, and videos so you can see how they're doing while you're away.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me is all about comfort, fun, and routine. We’ll start with a calm walk or potty break, followed by meals and some playtime or cuddles depending on your dog’s energy level. I love letting dogs sniff and explore on walks, playing gentle games or (rough play if they are into that) and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I also include rest time so they don’t feel overstimulated. My goal is for your dog to feel relaxed, happy, and at home while you’re away.

- I love learning about each dog ahead of time so I can care for them the best way possible. Please let me know about their routine, personality, energy level, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, and any special needs or sensitivities. I’m especially happy to accommodate shy, anxious, or senior dogs, and I always adjust my care to help them feel comfortable.
