Hello! You've come to the right place! I'm a native NYer and an animal nut. I have never not had a dog and/or cat to take care of my whole life. I also have experience volunteering with NYCC, BARC, and the ASPCA. I've been doing Rover off and on for a few years and I love the fun and flexibility it gives me. I also workedvery steadily with another company in NYC doing cat care for a year and a half, until I moved and can provide those references. I can't wait to help your family out! Together with my husband, dog and children, I will treat your dog or cat with the same love and respect that you do. Your dog will become our dog's temporary sibling! If you want a drop in visit or a walk, I'll always honor my commitment to mutual respect. Special requests can be honored if discussed beforehand. I also have experience giving medication and fluids and recent experience seeing my beloved through end of life issues like help getting up and down the stairs, patience with food issues and various medications.
