Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. My mother was very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language. I started pet sitting when I was in junior high school, when our neighbors would go on vacation I would care for their furry friends. I am always excited to meet new animals and do meet and greets with first time clients. In order for your dog to get comfortable with me, I allow them to approach me first . Previous clients would describe me as gentle and patient. I believe it's important to be patient with animals when they meet someone new. Meet and greets are also a great way for me to find out how to spoil your furry friend! During a stay, I'll respond to you in a timely manner. I'm always happy to send photos throughout the day and update you on anything (walks, food). I know how difficult it is spending time away from your pup, so I'm here to make it easier. I know manhattan like the back of my hand so I would love to take you pup to places like central park, union square and the pier! If you have preferred places you would like for me to take your pooch, don't hesitate to share! It's so much fun learning more about what your furry friend likes. I look forward to spending quality time with your pooch!
