Hi! My name is Filana. I’m a psychologist living in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. I have my own furbaby, so I know the nerve-racking feeling of leaving your dog. But rest assure I will always make sure your pup is well taken care of, loved, and enjoying their stay with me. I will treat your pup like my own, if not better since they are my guest.🩷🐶

Filana was absolutely incredible, especially considering how anxious and stubborn my dog can be. She was patient and clearly experienced and I came home from my vacation with a calm and happy dog and couldn’t be more grateful for the exceptional care she provided.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 04, 2023

My beagle Oliver enjoyed his stay at Filana’s house, playing with her dog and sniffing in her backyard. Filana was very quick with communicating and eagerly accommodated our requests.

I had the pleasure of entrusting Filana with the care of my chocolate lab, Blaze, for a day, and I can confidently say that I'll be utilizing her boarding services for longer trips in the future. Filana's attention to detail, updates, and genuine care for Blaze were outstanding. I'm grateful to have found such a reliable and caring sitter. Highly recommended for all your dog care needs!

Filana is the best! I love how she pays attention to detail. Filana wanted to make sure that she knew my little girl Maya: from her treats and her routine down to the way she likes to play. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. It was such a comfort knowing that Maya didn’t have to go stay somewhere else, but could continue her own routine at Filana’s. I would HIGHLY recommend Filana and her pet sitting services to ALL my friends with furry people. Don’t even worry about stressing or planning for a trip to the kennel, just let Filana take care of your little pooch, worry free. She will update you as often as you’d like regarding your pets and their behavior. Book her asap!

It has been a pleasure having Filana care for our dog, Duke. We can travel and have confidence in knowing he is in such good hands. Filana leaves a detailed "report card" so we know how things went while we were away. When Duke first met Filana, I could tell it was a great match. She has a special sense and caring which Duke picked up on. They became instant friends! And, Filana follows up conscientiously when we return. Our home and our precious dog have been well looked after. What piece of mind it is knowing all is well while we are away. I have every confidence in Filana and have enthusiastically recommended her to friends and family.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and my dog loves other dogs, so they’ll have a blast! Your pup will have unlimited toys to play with too. I’ll make sure to send all the updates and pictures. Also, my landlord sometimes takes dogs out to my yard for a potty break. If your dog needs to go out more frequently..I can arrange that while I’m at work and will walk your pup when I’m back home. No worries

Pets

A typical day

I live in front of a park with a huge field that turns into a dog park in the evening. I also live walking distance from a dog park that always has the most welcoming dogs and owners. I’d love to take your fur baby there with your permission! I love taking long walks by the canal and exploring the area with new pups. I also enjoy playing fetch, I feel it’s a bonding experience. It allows the dog to trust you and feel safe.

I’d like to know if your dog has any behavioral needs. I am pretty good at reading dogs, but that information can help accommodate your pet better. I’d like to know your pups daily routine when it comes to feeding, walks, or anything else you’d like for me to know. I want to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible in their new environment.
