Pet care experience

Dog sitter with flexible schedule

I used to have a dog of 50 lb dog. I adopted him from North Shore Animal League America 17 years ago (but he passed away 4 years ago). Whenever I see a dog, the dog reminds me of him. I am a real estate broker. My business schedule is very flexible. I live in Battery Park City in New York. Many of the tenants in my building are dog lovers. I love to walk, brush, and play with dogs. I can pick up dogs if your location is near Financial Center or Wall street.

She took a good care of Kitsune while we’re away. Kitsune was happy with her stay.

Minako is the best and I never have to worry because I know my dog is being so well taken care of.

Minako takes great care of my pug Sophie. I would recommend her for your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

I or my husband can stay with dogs for 24 hours. In my neighborhood, there are 3 clean dog parks, and lovely promenade along the Hudson River.

A typical day

I live in Battery Park City where there are spacious and quiet spaces for dog walking. And a dog can stay at my apartment upon your request. I also can brush and play with dogs. In my building, there are many friendly dogs. So it is a dog friendly atmosphere.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Minako can host up to 2 pets per night
1. I always have dogs in my apartment, so a dog who comes to my apartment needs to be friendly to other dogs. 2. I prefer not to use wee wee pads. 3. I prefer dogs who do not bark in my apartment.
