Information John & Madeleine B. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies or other medical issues. Any reactivity or other behavioral issues. Commands you have trained on, especially for walks (leave it, drop it, no, let’s go, etc.). Walk and potty break schedule - though we default to 4 a day with 2 of those being longer walks.

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.

Pet Care Near Prospect Park 🐶🌿

Pet care experience

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!
