When making a request, it's essential that you share any health issues your dog has, and what special care, such as medication, frequent meal times or bathroom breaks, they might require. Please also tell me about the dog's temperament—whether they like other dogs or people—and if they're fully potty-trained or not. Do they have separation anxiety? Are they a chewer? I'd also like to know how often you walk them and for how long, what time you feed them and how much. Your dog will best enjoy staying with me or being watched by me if I'm able to maintain their normal routine.

I live in the East Village very near to Tompkins Park and the East River Park, both great places for walks. If you allow your dog to go to dog parks, there is one in Tompkins where I could take your pet to socialize and play. Otherwise, your dog and I could enjoy napping and playing at home.
