I cater to owners who prefer their pets have a quiet home during their visit. A professional pet sitter for over twenty five 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 animals. I began pet sitting by fostering dogs and cats. Eventually when they were adopted, their new owners needed a pet sitter. Not to leave any creature out, I offer in-house visits for kitties whom I bond with just as easily. I work from home so unless I’m at the gym or running local errands, I'm able to shower your pet with extra attention while you’re away. Long walks in Tallman Mountain State Park across the street are a given for your pet. I have a six by ten foot fence in my back yard for early morning or late evening pee breaks. If your pet sleeps in your bed, your pet sleeps in my bed. If your pet is allowed on your sofa, ditto. My home becomes your pet's home during the stay. I can administer oral medication, first aid/CPR, 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 10 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. If your pet has an accident on my rug no biggie, accidents happen. I never get annoyed at dogs for acting like dogs. My ‘regulars’ take the extra trip to my home from Brooklyn, the Lower East Side of 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 - sometimes two family’s pets at a time thwarting possible trouble when pets don’t get along, and allowing me to enjoy my visiting guests to the fullest. Drop offs after 9:00am and pick ups before 10:00pm preferred. Thank you In addition to walks on the path near by, if your dog likes the river, I’m three blocks away from the mile long Piermont Pier (a very social walk for your pet considering how many dog owners are there). 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, will cook its food if that's the diet, 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.
