I cater to owners who prefer their pets be in a quiet home during their visit. A professional pet sitter for thirty years, I treat every animal as if it were my own giving as much attention and love as I can, which is a lot since I have a big dent in my heart for ALL animals. I began pet sitting by fostering dogs and cats. Eventually when they were adopted, their new owners needed a pet sitter. In 2024, I was voted “Goat of my community” by Derek Jeter for the non-profit work I do as President of the Piermont Civic Association, flown to Miami for a private lunch with Derek Jeter and best part, receiving $1,000. to donate to the charity of my choice. I gave it to Snarr Northeast, an animal rehabilitation and rescue center in Westchester. Not to leave any creature out, I offer in-house visits for cats whom I bond with just as easily. I work from home most of the time, so unless I’m running local errands, I'm able to shower your pet with extra attention while you’re away. They’ll need it. Walks in Tallman Mountain State Park, a backyard for early morning or late night pees, one block from the large dog friendly Flywheel Park next to the Hudson River, and across the street from a park with one level of steps and the top level an open field, there are ample places to walk your pooch. If your pet sleeps in your bed, your pet sleeps in my bed. My home becomes your pet's home during the stay. I can administer oral medication, inject medication, and have cat and dog senior care experience. You'll be allowed to text whenever you need. I understand completely how you’re missing your pet. I send daily photos and messages as well. I live on the NY/NJ border 15 minutes north of the George Washington Bridge and 5 minutes from the Tappan Zee Bridge, so your pet can come to the ‘country’ and have its own vacation as well! I'm a former pre-school teacher and am very patient, considerate and understanding. I’m currently focusing on my art work. I know pet separation well, and sit with your pet until the anxiety subsides. My ‘regulars’ take the extra trip to my home from NYC, and Westchester knowing they'll get the best care for their pets. Your pooch is worth it. About this sitter: I avoid packing in dogs, preferring to sit for just one family’s pet(s) at a time, thwarting possible trouble when another’s family pet doesn’t get along, and allowing me to enjoy my visitor to the fullest. Drop offs after 9:00am and pick ups before 10:00pm preferred. Thank you Should your pooch not do well with other dogs or people, I have a private path to walk. I make sure your dog always has fresh water to drink, dry them off when wet from rain or snow, and TV will be on for them when I do errands unless they prefer listening to books on tape...... :) ROVER QUESTIONS Meet my pets: No pets of my own, just yours who become mine for a while, sometimes another pooch may overlap for their drop off or pick up date but I will always check with you prior. My experience administering medication: I have administered drugs from eye drops and pills, to giving pets insulin shots. I’ve had dogs with cancer, epilepsy, blindness, deafness, and dogs who have to be carried up and down my steps, of which there are only two. Thank you- -JoJo
