Happy Walks. Cozy Stays. 💚

Hi! Please read before sending a request. Thank you! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and always want them to feel comfortable and at home while they’re with me. Walks are tailored to your dog, whether they prefer slow sniffy strolls or longer walks to get some energy out. Lots of fresh air, sniffing and exploring! For boarding pups, I also have access to a safe gated outdoor space when it fits your dog and your preference. I’m based in the Bronx, just across the bridge from Manhattan. It’s a nice option for city dogs who could use a little more space and a calmer environment without leaving NYC. Your pup’s day will be a mix of walks, outdoor time, play, enrichment and plenty of downtime. ✨🚇 Pickup & drop-off available throughout NYC.

Ethel was awesome and took great care of my Charlie. Lots of pictures and great communication, and I truly felt Charlie was well loved and well taken care of. I’d definitely trust her again with him!

Ethyl was so amazing. She did so many fun adventures with Facci and showed her a ton of love while at home. I needed dog sitting very last minute and she was made me feel much more relaxed. Facci seemed so at home and was having a lot of fun and also was able to feel relaxed when I was away. Loved all the pics and videos and updates. I can’t recommend Ethyl enough.

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 :)))

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.

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.
