Trustworthy and Friendly

Pet care experience

In the past i’ve grown up with dogs always around. My parents went on vacation often and left me with their pets one of which had diabetes and required 2 shots of insulin daily and the other intense separation anxiety.

Safety, trust & environment

I have extensive experience working with dogs that have anxiety and specific medical conditions. In fact, I grew up with two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels named Ralph and Ginger. Ginger had diabetes, and I was responsible for giving her two insulin shots a day. This experience has given me a deep understanding of the importance of proper medication administration and the need for a consistent routine. I am well-versed in managing diabetes in pets and can confidently handle any special requirements your furry friend may have.

Information Jake D. would like to know about your pet

Knowing how your pet interacts with other dogs and children is crucial for their safety and well-being. If your pet is uncomfortable or reactive around other dogs or children, it helps me plan our activities accordingly. For instance, if your pet prefers a quieter environment, I can avoid crowded areas or busy dog parks during our walks. Instead, we can explore more peaceful routes or opt for one-on-one playtime in a secure and controlled setting. On the other hand, if your pet enjoys socializing and is friendly with other dogs and children, I can plan outings to dog-friendly parks or areas where they can interact and have a positive experience with others.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with fun and engaging activities! Living in Manhattan, I absolutely adore Central Park and love taking furry friends for walks and playtime in this beautiful green oasis. It's a great opportunity for them to explore, get some exercise, and enjoy the fresh air. As someone who works remotely, I have the flexibility to provide excellent company to your pet throughout the day. Whether they need a midday stroll, some playtime, or simply someone to keep them company, I am here to ensure they have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience. Since I work from home, I can easily adapt to a dog's typical walk schedule. Whether it's an early morning walk to start the day off right or a leisurely evening stroll to wind down, I can accommodate their needs and provide the exercise and mental stimulation they require.
