If we're anything...we're animal lovers. When your dog stays with us we will make them feel loved, pampered and like the very special doggies they are. We grew up with dogs and cats - and have a special appreciation for individual temperament and personality. Pets are like people and they have their own stories. We are here to help them write their vacation chapter! We have a special dog of our own Monkey and we volunteer for the ASPCA and as foster paw-rents for The Sato Project and Pet Rescue NY. We have a rotating door for doggies who want to relax in our duplex apartment and romp in our private, fenced in backyard on the Upper East Side. Special experience with shy and abused puppers. Experienced puppy trainers - as we usually have a foster puppy in training every other month or so. Your pup does not need to be crate trained to stay with us but we do have a crate we can offer your buddy if they prefer to snuggle up in one.
