Pet care experience

Your Pet’s Best Friend

My husband and I both work from home, so we’re able to stay with your pet all day. Our building is a brand new luxury apt and extremely pet-friendly—there’s a grassy area right downstairs for quick potty breaks, and a dog park just a 5-minute walk away. We’re also conveniently located near Manhattan, only about 5 minutes from the city. The bus downstairs is one stop (6 minutes) from the Midtown Ferry, which makes drop-off and pick-up very easy for pet parents. We’re a Catholic family and take responsibility, care, and kindness very seriously—especially when it comes to animals. I have a 6-year-old Border Collie who is very gentle and friendly. She has a soft, sweet personality and is usually the one getting bullied by other dogs. She has also been through a lot in her life. During COVID, despite strict flight restrictions, I brought her safely between China and the U.S. multiple times. She survived a serious car accident where we were told she might not make it. She eventually lost her tail, but she recovered fully and is now healthy, happy, and living her best life. Because of my experience caring for her through travel, injury recovery, and daily life, I’m very patient, attentive, and highly responsible with all pets. I understand how important it is to create a safe, loving, stable environment. Your pet will be treated like family, and we’ll be with them every step of the way.

Schedule

My husband and I both work from home, so we have plenty of availability to take care of pets! We already take care of our dog Paris, and we make sure to take her outside (including to our local dog park) several times a day.

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, I take pets to walk outside by the waterfront and to the nearby dog park several times a day. At my client’s home, I would be sure to find the nearest outdoor green space to take their pets to enjoy the outdoors.

A typical day

I take dogs to the grassy area downstairs for quick breaks and then to the dog park for longer exercise. We play games, explore new smells in the neighborhood, and enjoy calm rest time at home where my husband and I are always present.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medication schedules, or behaviors I should be aware of. I’m very patient with shy or anxious dogs and can adapt to different routines. Sharing their feeding times, energy level, and any triggers will help me make their stay as safe and comfortable as possible.
