Animal lover
Pet care experience
I was the proud mama of my own cocker spaniel for 11 years until he passed away last year. I really missed having the warm company of a dog after he died and felt like my life was missing something, so I took in a friend’s pitbull named Deebo for a year, until his owner could properly care for him. After that I started pet-sitting to fill the missing void and keep me busy while I look to adopt another dog of my own. I grew up with dogs and have spent a lifetime taking in strays. The wellbeing of the animals I meet becomes often more important than my own--I can’t help it, I’m an animal lover, through and through! I’m a friendly, responsible and firm pet-sitter who is gentle and kind, but also understands the importance of adhering to a pup’s consistent routine. At a bare minimum, I walk the dogs at least 2-3 times a day and treat them as my own by incorporating games and play throughout the day so the dog stays stimulated and happy. My clients appreciate the fact that I have a flexible schedule and prioritize their needs as much as I can. It’s my goal to ensure my clients don’t stress about anything when booking with me so I keep them in the loop with updates throughout the day. If a dog stays in my home and doesn’t have bags, food, brushes, pads, or toys, I have no problem going out of my way to accommodate them. I also promise to never leave the dogs alone for too long and make sure that their every need is catered to! I am also comfortable administering oral medications and eye drops, and have a ton of experience with dogs that lack training or have a challenging temperament. Thanks for reading my profile—I can’t wait to meet you!
Reviews
Fiorella was accommodating and very easy to communicate with. She had a sectioned off living room/dining area to keep the dogs apart if needed and was receptive to my many requests to keep Angelo happy:) thanks!
I’m very picky about dog walkers, because my pup has some strong reactivity issues with other dogs. Fiorella made me feel very confident in her ability to handle my dog’s issues when out on walks (which is no small feat let me tell you!).
Fiorella is AWESOME! She came to our rescue when we needed her and she sent daily pictures of my two. She was super thoughtful and even washed the doggy bowls for us. She went above and beyond in caring for my babies. My senior girl has been limping due to her arthritis and Fiorella asked if there was anything else she could do on top of giving her the joint supplements which was very sweet. She was flexible in drop off and pick up times and if I wasn't leaving NY I would use her again and again! Highly recommend!!
Fiorella was very good with my dog! Highly recommend

Please give me a heads up about your pet’s temperament, behavioral style with other dogs and cats, whether they’re house-trained and any pet peeves I need to be aware of.
A typical day
My home is a great place for pets because it is of a generous size, is safe and is in the middle of a lovely neighborhood with pet-friendly neighbors and plenty of green areas to explore! A dog park is within walking distance and there is never a shortage of fun things to do! I also enjoy taking the dogs to Flushing Meadows and Central Park…as long as we are outside, I promise we are having fun!
