Pawfect Watch! Boarding Service

Hello! I’m a 33 year old New York City Artist who loves animals! From an extremely young age I’ve been great with animals! I often can get dogs to talk or try to mimic me verbally. The term you can’t teach an old dog new tricks is a myth! As long as there is life we are forever evolving! Even your Pup. I’m proficient in providing not only a safe space but a fun one! My Pomsky Spicy is extremely friendly. She’s always happy to make new buddies. You can expect nothing but love and care if you book with Pawfect Watch. Your dog is free to roam around. I am looking forward to boarding your fur babies.

Niajah was an excellent sitter for Guvvy. She was a great communicator, and her dog Spicy was the perfect pal for our dog during his stay. Will certainly look to re-book in the future!

Niajah is an exceptional person. She loves my fur baby as if she was hers. When I go on vacation or need a sitter for the weekends, she is my go-to person. I would not leave my fur baby in anyone else's care. She has been taking care of my fur baby the last 10 years and hopefully she will continue to take care of her. I trust Niajah with my fur baby whole heartedly.

You have the right person with Niajah Smalls. Niajah has been my pet sitter for my fur baby Hunter who is my 9lb yorkie. Niajah has been his pet sitter for the past 8 years when I go on vacation, away for work, or just taking him out when I am at work. She ia excellent with my Hunter and I have also seen how well she is with other animals. Niajah is a gem and had a way with animals that I have never seen before. My Hunter actually smiles when he sees her. She will not disappoint and has genuine love of dogs and animals in general.

I’ve known Niajah for years. She’s amazing with both animals and people. I been booking with Niajah since I got a puppy for my son last year.?I wasn’t expecting to start a new job so soon and I didn’t have time to be with home with Daisy especially while my son is in school. Daisy always returns happier than we left her. Clean and fed. Grateful to have her in my area!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is clean and bright. I have a safe gated area in my home if the pet needs to be separated from my pet in my home (Pomsky). My dog is crate trained so she often goes in there for naps and down time. I have several dog parks in my area. As well as a gated grass area infront of my apartment building where I often take my dog. There’s plenty to do! I always keep dog treats as well. Any dietary needs can be discussed once booked.

Pets

A typical day

I love to interact with animals especially dogs and cats. Watching their individual personalities come out is something I strive to see. We will definitely go on some adventures. If dog parks aren’t your dogs thing. Please let me know when you book. Every pup is different!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or things I should pay attention to or look out for! My dogs loves paper. So we don’t leave any note books around! The term the Dog ate my Homework is a real thing with this Pomsky!
