Your Pet's Bonus Best Friend!
🐾 Hi there! Your pet’s new bonus best friends (we could never replace you!) in Park Slope/Gowanus! 🐾 I grew up with dogs and my wife grew up with cats, so between the two of us, we’ve got all your pet needs covered. We’re active and happy to manage long walks, park playtime when requested, or cozy cuddle sessions on the couch. I handle most walks and drop-ins and when your pet stays at our house, Samara is another set of gentle, qualified hands to care for them! Our almost 3-year-old dog, Kuzi, would love to meet your pets. She is best friends with anyone (pet or human) who walks through our door! She can join walks to help socialize your dog if requested and will definitely be around during stays at our home. We hope to build long-term relationships with your family and provide support to make long workdays, travel, or any other hectic days a little easier for you! For overnight stays longer than one night, we require that you book a daycare visit beforehand. This helps ensure our home and Kuzi are a great match for your pet! We welcome families of all races, backgrounds, and identities, and dogs of all breeds! We strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for everyone. However, please note that we are unable to host dogs who are reactive toward other dogs, as our dog Kuzi will be present during stays.

Ratings and reviews
Kimmie took amazing care of our cat Bonnie. Communication was great and plenty of cute photos of Bonnie were provided. Can only recommend!
Thank you so much for everything! We felt completely at ease knowing Juno was in good hands
Kimmie took amazing care of my cat while I was away! She followed all instructions, and my cat loved her. Thank you!
Kimmie followed directions perfectly and had no issues! She took tons of pictures of my cat and let me know how he was each visit!
Kimmie was super responsive and took many photos of our cat while we were away! Our cat has a sensitive stomach, so we were grateful Kimmie followed her specific feeding habits.
Kimmie was very communicative and sent really great photos. It was clear our cats were really happy to see her.

I am a full-time student with flexibility in the afternoon and evenings during the week and any time Friday-Sunday. On weekends, both my wife and I are home and available when noted on our calendar, making it easy to give plenty of playtime, cuddles, and supervision.
Where your pet will stay

We have a dog safe home catered to your pet during their stay and if we are in your home we will respect your space. We live on the 2nd floor of an elevator building so no stairs are required for your pet.
Pets
A typical day
We love keeping pets active and happy, while also making sure they get plenty of rest! A typical day includes morning walks for dogs and playful sessions for cats. After breakfast, we enjoy playtime and enrichment activities, followed by afternoon strolls or visits to nearby parks—around Park Slope and Prospect Park are just a few of our favorite routes. Depending on each dog’s activity level, we’ll walk at different paces and explore a variety of scenery. Every pet receives care tailored to their energy level and personality, ending the day with a wind-down routine. It’s all about fun, comfort, and making sure every pet feels loved and engaged!

- We’d love to know about your pet’s behavior, both at home and while out on walks, including how they interact with other dogs, navigate public spaces, and handle crowds. (For example, Kuzi thinks all kids on scooters want to play with her and loves chasing after them...) Please also let us know about any food restrictions, what calms or excites them, and any unique quirks. If your dog is in training or knows commands, sharing your techniques and cue words helps us maintain consistency for your pet. Finally, honesty is key! The more transparent you are about your pet’s needs, the better we can prepare and ensure their safety and happiness during their stay.
