Your LIC dog’s new best friend!

Pet care experience

"Hey there! I'm Mac, your dog's soon-to-be best buddy and personal care expert! As a 29-year-old tax accountant by day and dog enthusiast by heart, I bring a perfect blend of responsibility and fun to the table. Growing up with my loyal companion, Sophie, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, I learned firsthand the joy and unconditional love dogs bring into our lives. When Sophie crossed the rainbow bridge, I felt a void, but then Rover came to the rescue in 2018! Since then, i've been lucky to meet incredible pups and their paw-some owners in the concrete jungle of NYC. With me, your furry friend won't just get a caregiver--they'll gain a fellow adventurer! My 3 year old Cavapoo sidekick, Posie, is the friendliest, most loving dog you'll ever meet, and we're always on the lookout for new four-legged buddies to join us at the dog park. Whether it's brisk walks, belly rubs, or epic play sessions, we guarantee tail-wagging good times!

Mac is absolutely wonderful. He is communicative, friendly, prepared, and most importantly our dog had a great time and just adores him. He went out of his way to get to know our dog before her stay, and was careful to make sure he understood her schedule. Then, while we were away, Mac sent us tons of photos of her outside walking, playing at the park, and snoozing away at his apartment afterward. 10/10 would recommend.

Mac is the BEST! Knowing Darla is in the best hands has been a huge relief! Also, he gets the best photos if our girl!

Mac was outstanding with our pup Walice! He took excellent care of Walice while we were away and sent regular updates and tons of amazing photos. I’m certain our dog had the best vacation away from home with Mac. Would definitely have Mac watch Walice again and again!

Information Mac G. would like to know about your pet

Understanding your dog ahead of time is crucial to providing personalized care. It's essential for me to know your dog's preferences, such as their favorite activities, toys, and treats. This way, I can tailor our time together to ensure they're engaged and enjoying themselves. Additionally, any specific behavior traits, such as aggression, shyness, or separation anxiety, are vital for me to be aware of. This knowledge helps me create a comfortable and safe environment, providing the necessary support and accommodations to address their individual needs. By gathering this information, I can ensure a positive and tailored experience for your furry friend, making their time with me as enjoyable as possible.

A typical day

A typical day with the dogs I watch is filled with fun and engaging activities. We start our day with a refreshing walk, exploring nearby parks and scenic routes. During our time together, we enjoy playtime with toys, stimulating games, and perhaps even some basic training exercises to keep their minds sharp. If permitted by the owner, I love taking pups to dog-friendly cafes or pet-friendly establishments to add extra excitement to our outings. Ensuring the dogs are happy and active is my priority, and I always strive to provide them with a variety of enriching experiences throughout the day.
