Pet care experience

Pet Care Near Prospect Park 🐶🌿

Currently, my travel schedule prevents me from owning a furry friend of my own but I’d love to take care of yours! When not traveling, I work from home full time and enjoy the outdoors. I live a short stroll from Prospect Park and if your pet has energy to burn, plenty of walks, climbs and runs can fill their days - if your furry friend takes a more relaxed approach to life, a few sniffs around the neighborhood and lots of pats are an option too! Thank you to all who trust me with their pets!

Mango loved his stay with John and Madeleine! They were super nice and communicative each day, sending us updates about all the fun walks Mango got to go on with them, along with lots of great photos. He was super happy, comfortable, and relaxed upon pickup. Would highly recommend and would love to have Mango stay with them again in the future!

John and Madeleine were just wonderful! Great communicators, frankly excellent pet photographers, and we came home to a very happy and healthy pup! What more could we ask for?

John and Madeleine were lovely and communicated just the right amount during Georgie’s stay, sending lots of pics. She seemed very happy with them and will be staying with them again soon!

John and Madeleine were so friendly and flexible with arrangements, and very communicative and sent us photos. They clearly love pups and take good care of them.

We've left our dog with John & Madeline multiple times now - including while on vacation for 8 days. They take amazing care of him - making sure he gets his meds (including a twice a day injection) and that his feeding schedule/plan is followed just right. They also take him on multiple walks a day and lots of trips to the park. Plus, they take great photos of our buddy, which they send to us along with an update each day. Highly recommend trusting your pup to John & Madeline!

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a third floor walk-up with plenty of space. If your pet struggles with stairs we can safely carry any dog up to 30 pounds. My wife and I have no children or roommates. We are familiar with all local vets, pet groomers and the cafes that offer dog treats.

A typical day

We love taking dogs to both Prospect Park and Mount Prospect, both just a few minutes’ walk away, either for on-leash or off-leash fun depending on the dog and what they (and you!) are comfortable with. We also love to give dogs enrichment activities at home, whether that is a kong filled with their favorite fruits and nut butter, structured tug and fetch, or training work.
