Every dog just wants to smile..

Pet care experience

Hello fellow dog lovers!! I am a 44 year old retired New York City firefighter. I currently live in Murray Hill on 42nd and 2nd Ave. in my retirement i have dedicated my time to my love of dogs. I love taking care of them and making sure that they are having an enjoyable day. I also volunteer with numerous dog rescues particularly those dedicated to helping senior dogs who have been abandoned. I have experience in taking care of all sorts of dogs from the very young to the very old and from the very small to the very large. Everyday I take my dogs out to the park or for long walks and your doggie will become part of our family while he or she is with us.

Great service! A place you can send your dog knowing it’s going to get love, walks and cuddles whilst you are not around. Kept in contact the whole time and sent photo updates. Highly recommend. Will be rebooking.

Sadie had a fantastic time with Michael. From sofa tv binges to long walks in the park to plenty of nap time — my dog had a blast. Michael was very responsive, sent tons of great photos, and was really easy to coordinate with.

Information Michael C. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences just be sure to let me know your doggies personal habits or traits. How are they at parks with other dogs? Would they rather a dog park or just invididual alone time with me on a park bench? Are they toy or food possessive? Do they not like long walks in the heat? Etc.

A typical day

Walks to Central Park, walks along the river, some time in the dog park. Maybe sometime under a tree with me while i read the paper. Even running errands with me, I know dogs just love to be outside with people.
