Your Pet's New Best Friend! 💗✨🐶

As a lifelong animal lover, caring for pets is both a passion and a lifestyle for me! I've spent years looking after a variety of animals—both my own and those of family and friends—so your pet will be in capable and loving hands. 🐾 Why Choose Me? 🌲 Location: I live near several parks in the Ridgewood, NY area so your pet will enjoy plenty of outdoor space, fresh air, and fun-filled walks. 🕒 Flexible Schedule: Working on a hybrid schedule means I’m home for the full days Thursday-Monday, perfect for midday walks, check-ins, or extended pet-sitting needs. When I’m at the office, I am in Manhattan for the day but am home before dinner! 📷 Picture Updates: Want to know how your pet's day is going? I'll send you cute and timely photo updates so you're always in the loop! 
 🚗 Reliable Transportation: I own a car, so I can pick up and drop off your pet if needed! 👍 Safety First: Your pet's safety is my top priority. I always double-check gates, doors, and food to make sure everything is secure and safe! ✨ A little about me: I was born and raised in NY and currently live in Ridgewood! I absolutely love the beach and being outdoors, and I also love cooking for friends and family! I don’t have any animals myself right now, so I’d love to look after yours and give them my undivided attention! 😊 Feel free to reach out with any questions, I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 18, 2023

Felicity was great! She took great care of my parents dogs while we were at the game. She sent picture updates and totally tired them out on a great couple of walks. I would totally use her again! Highly recommend.

Felicity has a clean home and she keeps my dog active. She stayed in touch with me every morning and made sure I had a picture of my dog.

Felicity was great with Nico. She was extremely responsive and provided us with photo updates throughout his stay. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!

Schedule

Weekdays 📚 Morning: I like to start my day with a walk near my house. Daytime: On Mondays and Fridays I work from home full time, which means I’m around all day to check in, cuddle, and care for your pet with consistent attention. Tuesday - Thursday I will be in manhattan during the day, but home before 5! Evening: Once the workday winds down, I’m home for the rest of the night—plenty of time for more play, dinner, and winding down together. Weekends 🎉 With no work, my weekends are completely flexible! We can go on extended walks, hang out with friends (if your pet is social!), visit the park, or just lounge around at home. My flexible schedule means that I can adapt to your pet's routine easily, making sure they feel at home when they're with me!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety Measures 🌟 * Safe Spaces: I’ve ensured that my home is safe from any pet hazards! * Designated Zones: I have dedicated areas for eating, playing, and chilling, so your pet knows exactly where to find their activities. * Clean Environment: My home is kept clean and sanitized to make sure your pet stays healthy. * Supervision: I always make sure to supervise playtime and interactions to prevent any unwanted incidents. * Respectful Guest: If I am in your home, I’ll respect your space like it's my own, ensuring it remains secure and tidy. * Routine Maintenance: Your pet's usual feeding, walking, and medication schedules will be followed. * Check-ins: You'll receive regular updates and photos to reassure you that your pet is having a great time! General Measures 🌟 * Emergency Protocols: In the unlikely event of an emergency, I have a vet's number on speed dial and know the quickest route to the nearest animal hospital. * Customized Care: Each pet is unique, and I’m all about tailoring my services to meet your pet's specific needs and preferences.

A typical day

Morning Activities * Morning Walk: We’ll start the day with a revitalizing walk to help your pet stretch and breathe some morning air. * Breakfast: I will make sure to stick to your schedule and feed your pet when they wake up! Midday Engagements * Main Street Excursion: If your pet is social, proximity to shops and parks here allows for an exciting and stimulating city stroll, highly popular among the pups and locals! * Fetch Extravaganza: Should your pet have an affinity for fetch, a tailored session featuring their favored ball or frisbee will be included. Afternoon Adventures * Park Exploration: Being situated near a myriad of parks, there are a ton of options for us to explore! Evening Wind-Down * Quality Companionship: Following an action-packed day, we transition into a relaxing evening, accentuated by affectionate cuddles and a pet-compatible film. * Dinner and Relaxation: Again, based on your pet’s schedule, I will feed them dinner after we get back from our walk! Then we can hang out at my home and relax for the rest of the night! Each day is remains adjustable to your pet's unique temperament and requirements!

Before embarking on our pet care journey together, acquiring specific details about your dog is imperative for a seamless and enriching experience. Here are some examples of things that would be good to know: Medical History and Requirements: Information on vaccinations, allergies, current medications, and any special needs or conditions. Behavioral Traits: How does your dog react to strangers, other dogs, or specific stimuli like thunder or fireworks? Feeding Schedule and Diet: Meal times, portion sizes, and any dietary restrictions or preferences. Exercise Needs: Your dog's energy level and exercise requirements, such as the preferred length and frequency of walks. Routine: Typical daily schedule, including sleep habits, walk times, and any other activities your dog enjoys. Favorite Toys and Activities: Any particular games, toys, or activities your dog particularly enjoys. Commands Known: Basic commands that your dog responds to, which can aid in effective communication. Emergency Contacts: Vet's contact information and details of any other emergency contact. House Rules: Is your dog allowed on the furniture? Are there any off-limit areas in your home? Special Instructions: Any unique quirks or specific care guidelines that would enhance your pet’s experience while under my care. Collecting this information allows me to customize my pet care services to align perfectly with your dog's unique needs and preferences. Your pet's safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities!
