Pet care experience

All your pet needs under one woof

I've taken care of cats since I was a teenager and have taken care of dogs for the past 3 years. I have been entrusted with caring for friends' pets while they were away or unable to care for their pets on their own. Pet care (of my own and friends' pets) have included walking, feeding, litter/puppy pad cleaning, playing and just keeping company. I do remote work at home during the day, so I am able to stay with your pet all day and keep them company. Weekends and holidays I am pretty much a homebody. I live in a multi family house with both a fenced front yard and a fenced backyard. I own an extra large dog crate, so if your dog needs crated for any reason, I have one on hand.

Lenford was able to accept my last minute booking for 6 days and my pup was very sad to leave him when I picked him up! They became best buds! Thanks!!

My dogs accepted Lenford easily, no barking, and allowed him to hang with them, feed them and give them meds! Thanks Lenford!

Lenford is reliable, trustworthy, and checked in on my senior pup with care and attention! He definitely understands how to interact with weird/spicy rescues too. Thank you Lenford!

Our doggies love Lenford - from the first meet up he was very patient and took his time for them to get comfortable with him. Being new to NYC and this neighborhood he helped us simplify their transition to a new space. Thanks Lenford!

Schedule

I work from home so I am able to give your pet frequent walks and attention. I am already on an early schedule for my cats so if you pet require early morning feedings it is not an issue.

Safety, trust & environment

Regardless of the service I treat clients pets as if they are my own. If a client has a time sensitive schedule for their pet I make sure to maintain that while I am watching the pet so there is no change between when I watch the pet vs when the pet is back at home with the client.

Pets

A typical day

I love going on long walks especially over to Prospect Park. I also love playing fetch, running, and playing tug of war. I have a fenced front and backyard as well for when we can't make it to the park.

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old

Need to know if the dog gets along with cats or has any special needs. Also for walks if the dog is social with other dogs or keeps to themselves.
