Information Pamela S. would like to know about your pet

I like to schedule meet and greets ahead of time to see if your pup is a good fit with my dogs. In that time, you’ll be able to see where your dog will be staying, and ask any questions of me. I can also get the details of your expectations during your dog’s visit. If you decide to book with me, there is the potential of sharing that time slot with another boarder. I am very careful about scheduling dogs together based on temperament. If I have any reservations of clients not being a good fit, I will not have them stay at the same time.

A typical day

Your pup will get plenty of companionship, both from me and my dog, and will look forward to at least 2 long walks during the day, and a quick potty break before bed.

Welcome to my apartment!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Pamela, a professional dog groomer in Astoria. I live with my dog Dudley, a 12 lb. dachshund mix, and have opened up my home for other little furry friends to stay short and long term. Professionally, I have more than 14 years experience working with animals. Puddle likes to get into things if he’s not being supervised, so he is crated while I’m gone. Though Dudley has free roam of the apartment, others of my dogs have been crated during the day while I’m at work. I understand that pet parents may have different expectations, and I am fully able to accommodate those when I have charge of your dog. I like to think of myself as an extension of Mommy and Daddy:-)
