Pet care experience

This can’t be a called a job because I enjoy it way too much! To the many parents that’ve trusted me with their pups, thank you:) Dog owner for over 11 years. My pup is about 90lbs so I'm familiar with larger breeds and the strength sometimes needed to walk them. Sadly my pup isn’t with me while I'm here in NYC. As you can imagine, I miss my pup dearly and go through puppy withdrawal every now and then. Dog sitting is a great way for me to get my puppy fix so I'm very excited to meet your pup! I work from home so I'll be able to provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day if needed. Your pup will go on at least one 45-60 minute walk per day. I'm a runner so if your dog has a lot of energy I don't mind bringing him/her out for a run.

Mike and Shifra took such good care our our baby Germaine when we were gone on vacation for a week. It was our first time being away from him and we were nervous, but the lovely couple kept us updated each day with photos and reassuring texts. They seemed to have a nice, fun-filled week together, and we look forward to Germ spending more time with his new friends in the future!

Mike took amazing care of my pup, who apparently ate something bad (before arriving at Mike’s) and spent the whole night throwing up. Mike was very reassuring and I felt like she was in good hands; it was much appreciated.

Mike took great care of my energetic golden retriever, Cleo! I would be delighted for Cleo to stay with Mike again.

Mike and Shifra were amazing! They constantly kept us updated during our two-week vacation with pictures and health updates of our pup. Our dog came back happy and healthy; we would definitely use them in the future!
