Pet care experience

Dog lover with flexible calendar

I have grown up around and loved animals for my entire life, growing up with a black lab as a kid and now a senior rescue named Bo :) While I don’t live with a dog in my NYC apartment, I love taking care of other friends pets and have even convinced my building manager to bring his dog when he has to fix something in our unit. I have experience walking and dogsitting dogs of different ages and sizes (from toy poodles and mini aussies to golden retrievers and staffys) for friends, family members, and neighbors. Would love to play with and take care of your dog when you need some extra support!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed, and I always supervise playtime and walks to maintain a safe, controlled experience. Whether at your home or mine, I tailor the environment to suit each pet’s needs. I follow any special instructions you provide regarding diet, exercise, or routine to ensure consistency and minimize stress. I will make sure to keep in contact with you and provide updates on how your pet is doing!

Schedule

I’m currently working remotely (I also work 7-10 pm several nights as a high school tutor on zoom), so I have lots of flexibility to take care of your dog around the house and go for walks around the neighborhood during the day! Weekends are less structured for me, but I’m usually just spending them around the city, so happy to accommodate to your schedule!

I would love to know if your pet has any preferences, behavioral needs, dietary restrictions, or anything else so I can make sure to accommodate them!
