I've owned two different Cocker Spaniels with my family, cared for many family friends' dogs of all sizes, and been paid to house/dog-sit for several families in NYC. I also have years of experience caring for cats, so am open to cat care. I love walking and cuddling dogs and keeping them healthy! I am patient, energetic, and authoritative but loving when caring for dogs. I am especially intuitive when reading most dogs' body language to figure out what they need. I like to get to know each dog's tendencies, routines, and favorite toys and scratching spots. I'm ready to care for your pup! I'm an actor transitioning from a manhattan-based day job to caring for dogs more frequently from home. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet!
