Pet care experience
Hello! I've had a deep love of dogs my entire life and was fortunate enough to have had two beautiful dogs over the past 25 years. I love to walk, play and lightly train dogs while they're in my care. I'm also developing healthy dog treats that I share with all the neighbor's dogs for their input (they love them!). I currently volunteer at PAWS NY, which helps humans & dogs, providing walks for the elderly or people that are disabled. I look forward to caring for your dog as my own. They are angels and deserve the best care!
Reviews

My dog, Kiki, absolutely adores Filomena! She is very reliable and always sends lovely photo updates, showing the fun adventures they've had. You can tell she truly loves dogs (and all animals!)."

Filomena was great with my dog, Rosie. She went above and beyond what a typical sitter does. She sent many messages, pictures, and offered to pick her up/drop her off. She is also very understanding and follows the schedule. We were able to rest assured that our dog Rosie was in good hands.

Filomena was absolutely amazing watching my dog! She provided excellent communication, updates and truly was awesome! I would highly recommend!

Filomena was truly an exceptional dog sitter, she exceeded all our expectations! From the very beginning, communication with her was easy and clear. She was responsive and thoughtful and always made sure to ask about our preferences for Apollo’s care before doing anything. Scheduling the meet and greet was a breeze, and she warmly welcomed us into her home. She took the time to explain what we could expect while Apollo was in her care, and he instantly loved her. He felt comfortable right away, which was such a relief. When it came time for her to care for Apollo, he was thrilled to see her again, he even cried happy tears when he saw Filomena, which made us feel so at ease leaving him with her. Throughout his stay, she sent frequent updates, including photos and videos, and shared how he was eating and adjusting. In every picture, he looked happier and more relaxed. One in particular showed him lying on his back with his paws in the air, completely at peace, feeling safe and loved. It was clear Filomena treated Apollo like her own dog, and we are so grateful to have found her. I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and responsible dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Safety, trust & environment
I currently live in an apartment on the 2nd floor which is easily accessible to the outdoors. I also have access to a small fenced in yard in my 3-family home and access to a larger, unfenced yard next door, where my daughter lives. I love to walk and can walk for mile to the nearest large park in Whitestone or Bayside.

Information Filomena G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any allergies or special needs. Do they hate the rain but love wearing their raincoats? Do they like to cuddle or need their own space?
A typical day
I love to go for long walks, letting dogs explore and sniff to their heart's desire. Experts say sniffing is very stimulating for dogs, even better than walking (sometimes). Dogs need tons of exercise during the day and also to play different brain games, sniffing out treats (I made my own!) in various types of puzzles and kongs.
