Pet care experience

Responsible & reliable caregiver!

Hi, I’m Lee! 🐶❤️ I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 17, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for many wonderful breeds, including Dalmatians, Chihuahuas, Shih Tzus, Golden Retrievers, and Maltese, through my host family, friends, roommates, and my own beloved dog, Pixie, who passed away four years ago. That experience inspired me to open my home to other dogs and start dog sitting. I’m a mom of two, and my whole family absolutely loves dogs! We’re a dog-friendly home where your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship. When my kids are at school, I love taking our furry guests on walks through Central Park. On weekends, the whole family gets involved with walks, playtime, and sometimes even a little picnic in the park! 🐾 🌳 I provide dog boarding and doggie daycare, with flexible hours to accommodate different schedules. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I always take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. As a stay-at-home mom and part-time yoga and ballet instructor, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give the dogs in my care the attention they deserve. Rain, snow, or sunshine, we make sure our furry guests get their daily walks, exercise, and fresh air. At home, they have a cozy, welcoming environment where they can play, relax, nap, or simply hang out with us. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with the same love and attention I would give my own dog. Happy dog, happy stay! 🐾

Lee is the absolute best! She keeps me updated with photos and videos throughout Ozzie’s stay, which I always love. I know Ozzie is in such great hands with Lee and her daughters, and it’s clear he gets so much love, attention, and care while he’s with them. I always feel completely at ease leaving him with her. We’ll absolutely use Lee whenever we can!

Doggy Day Care • May 21, 2026

We are pet parents and We were traveling from Iowa with our baby to show him NYC.. He is an adorable kid but it's very hard to find a sitter who would go miles to make your kid comfortable.. Lee is one of those sitters who understands what and how it feels to leave your pet in a completely new city having faith on a stranger.. Since it was very hot we decided to keep him with her so that we could do the sightseeing where he is not allowed.. From the moment we left him with her till the time I picked him up, we got constant updates on him.. She made extra efforts to make buddy feel like home.. I could see the smile and happiness in his eyes when she shared millions of pictures and videos.. I can go on and on but even that won't justify the efforts she put in for my Buddy.. So all I can say that if you want someone who would love your dog just like you, she is the one... Hands down!!!

Lee was amazing! She provided plenty of updates during Mia’s stay, which helped put my mind at ease while I was away. Will definitely look to book again with her in the future!

Schedule

As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout the day. We live just half a block from Central Park, so we can easily take our furry guests out for walks two to three times a day, depending on each dog’s routine, energy level, and individual needs.

A typical day

I love giving the dogs gentle massages, it’s a relaxing and calming time for both of us. We also have lots of fun playing with their favorite toys around the house, especially a good game of tug-of-war! And of course, we enjoy our daily walks in Central Park, getting fresh air, exercise, and a little time to enjoy nature together. 🐾 🌳

Before your dog’s stay, I’d love to learn a little more about them! Are they friendly and comfortable around me and children? Are there any specific things they’re afraid of or sensitive to that I should be aware of? What is their typical daily schedule or routine, and what are their favorite activities? Are they reactive to anything, such as other dogs, people, noises, or certain situations? The more I know about your dog’s personality, habits, and needs, the better I can help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home during their stay. 🐶 ❤️
