Welcome to my apartment!

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:-)

I can't recommend Pamela highly enough if you need a dog-sitter! During the meet & greet, it was clear that she loves dogs: her home is perfectly set up for pups, and she takes care to make sure that the dogs she watches are friendly & compatible. She sent pictures twice a day & quickly responded to every message I sent, and was accommodating with pick-up. If I ever need dog-sitting again, I'm definitely sending my guy back to his friends Pamela & Dudley.

Schedule

I work as a dog groomer, within walking distance of my home. There is some flexibility in my schedule, but on my busiest day I could expect to be gone from 8am-6pm. My schedule is: Tuesday - Saturday Sunday and Monday: OFF My dogs are fed once in the morning, and again in the evening, accompanied by walks.

Pets

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Pamela can host up to 2 pets per night
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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
