Hello there & welcome! I am looking to take care of your pet in my comfortable, cozy home while you are away on vacation, weekends and holidays. I have experience with owning and taking care of dogs. I worked for a year with a local NYC pet service company house sitting & walking dogs, volunteered at a dog shelter, and took the HSU (Humane Society University) online course Interpreting Animal Behavior for Safe Handling I also lived with a pitbull named Hudson for a couple of years and a mixed breed named Lucky. Growing up it was my dog, Cotton. I really love dogs and their companionship, so they would be very well taken care of. Of benefit, I am self-employed, and thus work from home a good bit of the time so your pet would get a lot of attention. There also would be only one pet at a time for the safety of your pet (unless there are 2 pets in your family that need boarding at the same time). No resident dogs or any other pets reside here. Prefer dogs 2 years plus and under 40 pounds. Bird 24 hour stay $20. Of note: 1. I really enjoy helping elderly dogs. I have an affinity for older people & that has crossed over to dogs. 2. There would be a minimum of three walks per day. 3. Near Leroy Street Dog Run and the Hudson River. 4. Near Greenwich Village Animal Hospital. 5. Dog friendly building. 6. Birds are welcome. I owned a peachfaced lovebird for 15 years named Birdette. 7. Non smoking home, clean & very well maintained.
