Safety, trust & environment
I follow your pet’s routine, meals, and any special instructions, and make sure they feel comfortable the whole time. I’m patient, and pay close attention to their mood and what they need. I keep the space clean and safe, and I love sending updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
Home
Information Ethel D. would like to know about your pet
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.
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.

Outdoor Life for City Dogs 🌿🐶
Pet care experience
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, 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 I pay close attention to how dogs are feeling and always move at their pace. 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.
Reviews
Ethel is incredibly kind and handled our very large and high energy dog with ease. She provided consistent updates accompanied by photos and videos of our dog playing and having the time of his life. Our dog got so much exercise with Ethel and her golden, and was dropped off happy and exhausted. Would recommend her to anyone!
Ethel took care of our cavapoo, Max, for 10 days, and we are so thankful he was in such great hands! She updated us constantly on how he was doing, kept him safe and happy, and sent us so many pictures of him enjoying his walks and play time under her care. She was timely, thorough, and we would 100% trust Ethel next time to watch our dog in the future. Thank you again, Ethel!!
Ethel took such a good care of my two doggies. She kept me informed with lots of pictures. My dogs looked quite happy and comfortable at her place. I’d definitely book her again in the future.
Absolutely wonderful
