Fenced in Backyard for Dogs!

Pet care experience

Is there anything better than the pure love and joy you get from a dog? If you have a better answer, I’m all ears! The best part of my day is when I come home to my little guy with his tail wagging and soft barking to let me know how much he’s missed me. I think that anticipation is what makes any one-on-one bond special. Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood and I know they will continue to enrich the rest of my life. I grew up with a feisty and fun-loving Scottish Terrier and I learned so much from him about responsibility, loyalty, and always having a tender touch. It’s easy to think of animals as our play things, but they are unique souls who rely on us to stay safe and secure, so we have to be mindful of how we behave around them and how we treat them. I currently have a dog with a major disability and he’s taught me so much about unconditional love, patience, and sacrifice. He’s a beautiful Dandie Dinmont and he is blind. He’s gone through some rough patches with his health, but I’ve been there every step of the way to make sure he got the best care. Dogs are just like humans and they deserve the same level of care and affection. My experience caring for him has helped me transition to working with other pups with disabilities and other special needs. I’ve volunteered at several animal shelters in the past, and I’m more than willing to take on new clients with dogs that need some extra TLC. I really enjoy pampering my little guy with special paw moisturizer and organic snacks, and whatever your pup needs, I can provide! I do work full-time hours, but I’m available mornings and evenings and on the weekends. I always have my phone with me, so I’ll respond quickly and am flexible enough to work with your schedule. Although my own dog has very limited physical abilities, I am very active and I love to run with dogs. It helps me stay active and active dogs have a great time. I love being outside as much as possible, so whether it’s going on long walks or finding a fun hiking trail, I’m always up for a little adventure. Whether your dog wants to climb a mountain or just stay inside snuggling on the couch, I’m your guy! The more dogs I’m surrounded by, the less stress I feel. Dogs are such a great source of good vibes, I just want to be around them as much as possible. Whether you have a puppy with boundless energy or a senior pup who requires a gentle touch, I will adapt my service to make sure your dog is fulfilled physically and spiritually.

Lawrence took a really good care of our old rescued dog Willow while we were visiting family in France for 3 weeks. We received pictures of her often and could see her have fun during walk outside in the park or share nice moments at home. We were completely relieved to know that she was in such good hands. Thank you again Lawrence, we will definitely think of you if we have another trip from NYC.

Information Lawrence N. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with all different types of dogs, especially those struggling with blindness or other disabilities. I am very comfortable administering medications and making sure the dog gets everything she needs to be happy and safe. If you’d like to meet in person, that’s a wonderful way to get a sense of each other as well as ask the important questions. I’ll want to know the basics like their diet, routines, triggers, etc. as well as their temperament and special needs. I know each dog needs to be handled their own particular way, so I will listen and take notes. One special service that I can provide for your dog is an extreme one hour session workout. This is great for larger dogs who need consistent exercise. I love fitness and helping dogs get into shape. And of course the dog doesn’t even notice because he’s having fun! Other than that, I will of course send regular updates via text and photos so you don’t miss a beat.

A typical day

My home will a great place for any sized animal because of all the amenities I provide. I have a large fenced-in yard, which is super convenient for activities such as playing fetch. Also all of my furniture is available for dogs to play on, sleep, etc. I have toys and snacks and my neighborhood is very safe. Most importantly, my home is right next to JFK airport. So if your going on vacation this is the perfect drop off spot before your vacation. Parking is also very abundant and my neighborhood is very large and quiet.
