I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can spend plenty of quality time with your dog. On Mondays and Thursdays, I am away for approximately 6 hours, but I’m otherwise home and available. If you prefer care in your own home, I’m also happy to provide drop-in visits within the Upper East Side area. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about scheduling or your dog’s specific needs. I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs whenever possible!

About Nana K.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. My home is clean, organized, and dog-friendly, with non-slip flooring and low furniture to help keep pets safe. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, potty routines, exercise, and any special needs. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing how your dog is doing. For drop-in visits in the Upper East Side, I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect as my own while ensuring your dog stays on their familiar routine. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Information Nana K. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know everything that makes your pet unique — their daily routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. Please share any special needs, medications, sensitivities, or habits I should be aware of. I understand that every pet is different, and I will always respect their pace, whether they enjoy long walks and playtime or prefer a calm day with lots of cuddles and companionship.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is centered around making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I enjoy taking relaxing walks in the park, exploring the outdoors at their own pace, and providing plenty of attention and affection. Depending on each pet’s personality and needs, we may play fun games indoors, practice their favorite activities, or simply relax together while watching TV with my furry friends. Whether they are energetic and playful or prefer a calm and cozy environment, I always adjust my routine to make sure they feel happy, secure, and cared for.

Loving, Reliable Care for your Dog

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Nana, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dog. I have many years of hands-on experience as a dog owner and have also cared for dogs for friends and family. After spending 15 wonderful years with my beloved dog, I realized how much I enjoy providing loving, attentive care and would love to share that experience with more dogs and their families. I am a Certified Senior Dog Caregiver and a Certified Dog Trainer. I believe every dog deserves individualized care, so I only accept one family’s dog(s) at a time. This allows me to provide your pet with my full attention in a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. For everyone’s safety, I currently accept dogs up to 25 pounds. This allows me to safely lift your dog if needed during an emergency and helps keep them safe from reaching kitchen counters or tables where food or unsafe items may be left. My apartment is small but very dog-friendly, with low furniture and protected non-slip flooring to help prevent slips and injuries. My building also has a private dog run, and we’re just steps from Carl Schurz Park, making it easy to enjoy plenty of walks, fresh air, and exercise. I’ll happily follow your dog’s normal routine, whether that means frequent outdoor walks, setting up wee-wee pads indoors, administering medications (if needed), or simply providing lots of love and companionship. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions so your dog feels comfortable, secure, and at home. I am reliable, organized, tidy, and detail-oriented. Communication is very important to me, and I’ll send regular updates, photos, and videos so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else because I felt the same way with my own dog. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

We have two Chihuahuas, and they absolutely adore Nana! The moment we mention her name, their tails start wagging, and they get so excited because they know they’re going to spend time with someone who truly loves them. Nana has such a gentle, patient, and caring personality that even our little ones, who can be cautious around new people, immediately felt comfortable with her. She gives them plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime, and walks while always making sure they feel safe and happy. It’s obvious that Nana genuinely loves every dog she cares for, and our Chihuahuas love her right back. Seeing how excited they are every time they go to Nana gives us complete confidence that they’re in the best hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Nana to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog sitter. We honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better!

Nana has a special gift with dogs, especially those who need extra patience and understanding. My dog can be shy around new people, but Nana built trust quickly through her calm and loving approach. She is incredibly gentle, observant, and respectful of each dog’s individual personality. Nana understands that every dog has different needs and takes the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. Her kindness and genuine love for animals are obvious from the moment you meet her. I would confidently recommend Nana to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter.

Finding someone I trust to care for my dog while I’m away has always been difficult, but Nana exceeded all my expectations. She is dependable, responsible, and incredibly caring. Nana doesn’t just “watch” dogs — she truly connects with them. She spends quality time with them, gives them affection, and makes sure they feel safe and loved. She is also very communicative and always keeps me updated, which gives me great peace of mind. I feel incredibly lucky to have found Nana. Any dog owner would be fortunate to have someone as kind and dedicated as her caring for their beloved pet.

I cannot recommend Nana highly enough. As a first-time dog owner, I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone else, but Nana immediately made me feel completely at ease. She is incredibly gentle, patient, and caring. She took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routines, and little habits, and treated my dog as if they were her own. Nana’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really stood out. She always provided updates, photos, and reassurance, which meant so much to me. My dog was always happy and relaxed after spending time with her. Nana is the kind of person every pet owner hopes to find — responsible, trustworthy, and truly loving.
