I’m a lifelong dog person. I’ve been blessed with having pups in all shapes and sizes (Poodles to Dobermans), pedigreed and rescues. I love them all!! I’m a semi-retired fine arts professional who spends most of my time at home with my beloved fox terrier/dachshund Ella and usually a limited number of pooch guests. Let me care for your pet when you need a helping hand!! I also have my partner Simon who cares for visiting pups here together in our home! (Simon also does house sitting to watch your pet in your home). I’m available most anytime. I am able to be with your pup when your schedule does not permit (I serve many locals as well as out of town guests to my area in the Catskills). I am used to caring for special needs dogs, and can extend that special attention for those I look after. I have 3 fully fenced in areas for your pet to play — a backyard, a front porch area, and huge adjoining yard with lots of room for fetching, sniffing and zoomies-- all of the outside on large property is completely secured. I am usually here full time. Your pet would likely not ever be left alone in the house. Rest assured! I love and care for dogs attentive to whatever their needs are. Going outside to play and doing their business or lounging in my immaculately clean and comfortable home. Your pup with get lots of love, playtime, snuggling and fun while in my care! Your visiting pet will have full access to my home, including being allowed on furniture and snuggling at bedtime on the bed. Any medication that needs to be administered is no problem.
