All Animal Care and Boarding

Pet care experience

I am an experienced pet owner and have been living alongside animals my whole life. I worked part time for a year as a professional dog walker on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I have been an owner of dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles, and have pet sat for multiple friends and family members for extended periods of time. I live in a moderately sized apartment with quiet tree lined blocks to walk if boarding here. I have experience with a wide variety of breeds and sizes of both dogs and cats, and a flexible day job allowing me to amend my schedule to your pets needs. I am familiar with how to remove foreign objects from an animals mouth, basic leash training, bathing(cats and dogs), and giving medication. I love being outside, and a, happy to give your dog an extended walk if they are a more active breed. I currently live with an older, mellow cat who is friendly with most other animals.

Maureen has been my go to dog sitter for several years. She is reliable, capable, and a sweetheart of a person. My bulldog, Austin, absolutely loves her. I highly recommend Maureen to fill in for you when circumstances call for a sitter.

Maureen is reliable, warm and caring. She is an experienced pet owner, and I don't think she has met a dog or cat yet that hasn't quickly become comfortable around her. She has an instinctive feel for an animal's mood, and interacts accordingly. She is patient, kind, and detail oriented. I am confident that she will provide the highest level of care for her charges.

Maureen is a very caring and empathetic individual who is always professional and punctual. She has the ability to remain calm and efficient in challenging situations and is very patient with humans and animals alike. She understands dog behavior and needs, and she's committed to excellent customer service. She LOVES dogs and will take all the necessary precautions to keep walkees safe and happy.

Maureen is excellent with animals! She sent lots of updates while watching my dogs Anubis and Athena. She took them for lots of walks and played with them in the park. I would 100% hire her again next time I go out of town!
