Highlights
Pet care experience
the best pet care in New York
I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to play, walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm available for boarding any time 24/7 :) I will gladly send you pictures and video updates of your sweet pets! I’m also happy to play with them using their favorite toys and don't mind spending extra time for snuggle sessions while I'm there. I take dog boarding seriously and safety is my number one priority. Your pet will always have me around to give it lots of attention and affection. I do everything I can to meet the needs of your pets. To assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during their stay.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Such a great family! We didn’t get the chance to meet Nicholas, but we met the other family members, and everyone was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable from the very beginning. You can immediately tell that they are very experienced with dogs and genuinely care about them. They were also very open to listening to all of our requests and routines, which made us feel completely comfortable leaving our two dogs in their care. Ricardo is such a kind and genuine person. From the moment we met him, he gave us a great feeling and a lot of confidence. Throughout our trip, they kept us updated every day with messages and pictures, which we really appreciated. We’re already looking forward to leaving our dogs with them again on our next trip. Trustworthy people who we would highly recommend. Five stars is the max that the app allows, but if we could give more, we absolutely would!


Oscar very much enjoyed his stay and I can tell he was well taken care of! We will be booking again in the future.

Nicolas and his family were amazing! We got plenty of pictures and videos and it was clear that Bubbles was feeling loved and having a blast. Special shout-out to Rick, who Bubbles adored!

I LOVE that we found Nicolas and his family. His step dad Ricardo went above and beyond for our very senior dog (he’s 19!). From administering medications, helping him walk around to help with his arthritis, to waking up at all odd hours of the night to help him pee! Our dog accidentally peed on his sleep bed and they even took it to the laundromat to get cleaned for him. Taking care of a senior dog is tough, especially one with dementia and odd day/night sleep habits. They are DREAM sitters, always sending us videos and communicating with us while we were gone. This was our first experience having a sitter for our dog and they helped with all of our anxiety about leaving him with another family! Would recommend them to an any pet owner looking for a sitter, we are so grateful.

We are so grateful to have found Nicolas’s family! Ricardo (Nicolas’s step dad) was exceptional with our dog — with every photo and interaction, we could tell Gus was in the best possible hands. Extremely loving, kind, affectionate & attentive. A dog parent's dream sitters! Thank you, thank you!

I am so glad I found Nicolas and his family. His Step dad Ricardo is a retired firefighter with such a calm demeanor, which was a huge plus when you are dealing with a GSD puppy. His mom also has a lot of experience growing up with her own dogs. Initially I had a very hard time finding a sitter that accepted unspayed dogs and dogs that are in heat. I am grateful that wasn’t the case with Nicolas and his family. I dropped off my dog and she had diarrhea which I thought would’ve cleared up with a bland diet with chicken and white rice, which they had cooked for her. They also administered medication at times and had to walk her at all times throughout the night when she had to go. Every day they kept me up to date on my dogs health and sent photos and videos. I could see my baby was very happy. They also did some magic because my dog would go crazy when I cleaned the floors with a broom or a rag but that isn’t the case anymore. I don’t think you will find a more loving family that will take care of your pet like it’s their own.

We might need to know: Schedule Food portions Specials needs Personality Family rules Allergies Vet info in case of emergency (name, phone number, and location) Do you have any peculiar habits to mention? Feel free to share both the positive and the not-so- positive ones, as well as any other activities your dog loves. How does your dog react to rain and snow? Please tell us about any specific behaviors. Remember to bring any special clothing or boots for your dog if they have them. As a pet sitter, we understand the importance of comfort for your furry friend. If your dog has its own bed, we encourage you to bring it along if possible. Familiar scents can greatly help your dog feel more at ease and comfortable, especially when sleeping in a new environment.
