Best dog lover and cuddler in Brooklyn

Pet care experience

My name is Ilinca and I am a huge lover of dogs! I'm that person who can't resist stopping to pet every dog I encounter on the street. While living in NYC without a dog of my own, I embrace the opportunity to care for dogs whenever possible. It brings me joy to spend time with them, engage in play, and take them on walks. Residing in my own apartment, I have the freedom to offer a cozy environment for dogs. I am fortunate to have access to beautiful streets and the nearby Prospect Park, perfect for enjoyable walks. Flexibility is one of my strengths, allowing dogs to join me on the couch and the bed, while offering them all the affection they desire. Understanding and fulfilling the needs of dogs is a priority for me. I strive to ensure their comfort throughout their stay, tailoring my care to their individual requirements. It's important to me that they feel safe and content during their time with me

Ilinca has been looking after Chickpea once a week when I’m at the gym. She’s very reliable, always on time and gives Chickpea all the love and attention she needs. Would highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

As a dedicated dog caregiver, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of the dogs entrusted to my care. Here's how I ensure exceptional care for dogs in my home: * Safe and comfortable environment: I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with designated areas for play, rest, and meals. I secure any potentially hazardous items or areas to ensure the dog's safety. * Regular exercise and playtime: I engage in daily exercise routines tailored to the dog's needs, whether it's energetic walks, interactive play sessions, or stimulating games. Regular exercise helps keep dogs physically and mentally stimulated. * Nutritious meals and feeding schedule: I adhere to the dog owner's instructions regarding feeding times, portion sizes, and dietary restrictions. I ensure that fresh water is always available. * Personalized attention and companionship: I offer plenty of one-on-one attention, cuddles, and playtime to make pets feel loved and secure. I understand the importance of providing a nurturing environment to alleviate any separation anxiety. * Regular updates and communication: I maintain open lines of communication with dog owners, providing regular updates, photos, and videos to keep them informed and reassured of their dog's well-being.

Information Maria Ilinca I. would like to know about your pet

1. Health and medical history: it would be helpful if you could provide information about any medical conditions, allergies and medications your dog has. 2.

A typical day

I engage dogs in fun activities such as interactive play sessions, outdoor walks in Prospect Park, and socialization opportunities with other dogs. I incorporate mental stimulation through treat puzzles and obedience training. I select safe and varied locations for walks based on the dog's needs and preferences. My goal is to ensure dogs are entertained, exercised, and socially engaged during our time together.

I am currently working from home and have a very relaxed schedule so I prioritize pet care by: - Providing morning care, including feeding, water, and medications. - Allocating dedicated time for exercise and play sessions. - Taking dogs out for regular potty breaks. - Following the provided feeding schedule. - Incorporating basic grooming tasks as needed. I adapt to each dog’s unique needs and maintain open communication with owners to ensure their preferences are met.
