Puppy Chill Zone
Pet care experience
Welcome to the Puppy Chill Zone! ***************PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING******************* 1) While we both work from home, if we need to step out to run errands etc. your pup must be able to be left alone without incessant barking or property damage. 2) Meet and greets are mandatory in order for us to accept a booking- we have them at our place so the pups can smell around and become familiar with us/our home prior to the drop-off. ************************************************************************ Our tranquil apartment is the perfect environment for your dog to really feel like they are on vacation! Days full of playing and long walks, with nights full of belly rubs from two attentive hosts who will make them feel at ease. We love sharing cuddles and snuggles on the couch to really make your dog feel at home. My husband and I are both educated professionals working traditional hours (8-5) from home Monday through Friday and will be present during the majority of your dog's stay. We live in a 4 story walk up. It is a very spacious 2 bedroom and sits on a quiet block with a short walk to nearby Astoria Park. We are conveniently located off of 30th Ave and 42nd Street in Astoria. This is an ideal location for clients who may be traveling in and out of Laguardia Airport. We take the pups on 3-4 walks a day. We allow dogs on our couch and bed (if you do!) and we don't crate them. We only have a dog gate to keep the dogs away from the front door and hallway noise. I grew up around a small herd of Australian shepherds and well versed in training or re-enforcing training if needed. My husband, Chris, spent most of his years loving and caring for a Boxer, Fang, and we both love doggie sitting for our friends and family! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate and simply click on ' Ask Host a Question' We do accept dogs of all sizes, even the small pee-pad trained :) We can't wait to hear from you and meet your fur buddy!
Reviews
I wish there were more than 5 stars to give Heather and Chris! How comforting to know our little guy was in such loving and capable hands. Daily adorable photos were so appreciated! He came home happy and healthy and clearly extremely well cared for!!
Heather and Chris were wonderful! They sent plenty of updates and our two pups seemed right at home with them.
Heather and Chris are great hosts! Very accommodating, very responsive and super cool! They took great care of my pup and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. Will definitely be booking again with them.
Heather and Chris were fantastic, very responsive and thoughtful with my extra large dog! Seamless drop off and pickup with very nice accommodations and communication throughout his stay, will definitely work with them again!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We do not watch multiple dogs at the same time from different owners( 2 dogs that come together is totally fine!). We do not allow the dogs off-leash outside the apartment ever, and typically will avoid interactions with other dogs on the street.

Information Heather R. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know if your pup has any special needs in terms of special diet, allergies or takes any meds. Also if you expect your pup to be extra anxious when you leave, please let us know in advance!
A typical day
We play with the pups with whatever their favorite toys are (tug, fetch) inside. We do not allow the dogs off the leash when outside and do not bring them to dog parks. We take them for long walks around our neighborhood on the quiet streets with lots of grass patches to sniff.
