Flexible Doggy Care in Astoria!
Pet care experience
Growing up on the Upper West Side my family always had dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Lhasa Apso then a Boston Terrier), and I became experienced from an early age navigating the city streets and parks with them. I've lived around New York, in the Boerum Hill area for 6+ years, on the Upper West Side, and for the past year in Astoria. My job affords me significant flexibility (and is fully remote), so I figured it would be a great opportunity to be able to hang out with dogs again! I do have a pet guinea pig (kept in an elevated cage), but she can be kept in a separate room during apartment visits (unless you want your dogs to meet them). Otherwise, I'm available and eager to hang out with your dogs in my vicinity in Astoria, dog sitting in your home, or just for walks in the neighborhood and surrounding spots (e.g., Astoria Park). Looking forward to it!
Reviews
Orion is amazing with my dog Scarlett. She isn't the easiest to walk but he does a wonderful job. I feel so comfortable leaving Scarlett with Orion and I highly recommend him!
Orion was terrific with our dog! Very accommodating on short notice and attentive to our dog's needs. Definitely recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large full house in Astoria, 2 floors with a basement, a front yard/porch and a back deck. Everything is safe, clean and enclosed.
Home
Information Orion T. would like to know about your pet
My own dogs have ranged in size/energy/behavior, but we would of course prefer that dogs we invite into our house for stays are somewhat potty-trained, friendly and hygienic!
A typical day
Dogs staying in our house can lounge during the day in our sunny living room or take naps on our couch/bed. For walks I can range as far as you want - Socrates and Astoria Parks are easy walks. I have some toys and treats for hanging out, and there's a local pet store two blocks from my house open 9am-9pm daily for additional purchases. There are also at least two veterinary groups within 5-6 blocks with which I have previously had contact. In terms of socialization, your dogs are welcome to try to meet our two pet guinea pigs, and the neighborhood is not short of fellow dogs walking around the streets/parks! Two of my family's dogs required additional care as they aged (e.g., daily oral administration of medication), so I can provide basic coverage on that front as well.

Availability
I work from home and make my own schedule, so I can bring your dog for frequent outdoor breaks. I can range farther for full walks at least twice during typical working hours if need be.
