Dog Lover & Certified Pet Therapist
Pet care experience
The very first job I had when I was 16 was working at a local kennel in NJ called Roxdane Kennels. I've had a dog most of my life until January 2019 when I lost my beloved yellow lab, Henrietta. We were a certified by Pet Partners to be a pet therapy team and we spent a lot of time at Roosevelt Hospital visiting patients and she was also the resident therapy dog for a private children's psychology practice. I'm also one of the Manhattan adoption coordinators for Labs4Rescue which is the organization that brought Henrietta to me. I work from home as a partner in an Experiential Marketing company and while I'm too heartbroken to have another fur baby, I would love to be in the company of dogs. It would bring me great joy to walk your pet when you're not home or care for your pet in my home while you're away on vacation. I have a large apartment for the West Village that was home to a 100 pound Labrador so your pet will have a little bit of space when home. You can trust that I will take care of your pet as I would my own.

Information Nikki L. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how the dog reacts to being around other dogs, children and what the preference is if I have to run out of the house. Do they prefer a crate, do they have separation anxiety or anything else I should know? As far as a breed preference, I sincerely love all dogs big and small but I have a soft spot for Labs & Goldens.
A typical day
I live in the West Village and I'm familiar with the dog parks in the area if your pup enjoys those. Washington Square Park is just a few blocks away and so is Hudson River Park. Lots of options in the area! Please tell me what your dog wants and I'll make it happen!
