Showtune Singing Pet Sitter!
Pet care experience
Hello my name is Shabazz (rhymes with Jazz)! I’m a huge lover of theatre, physical fitness, cats, and dogs! I grew up with both a dog and cat, and now I'm a step-doggy-dad to a beautiful golden doodle and her super-mutt older brother. I previously served Summit, New Jersey. Now that I've moved to Hoboken, I’m eager, excited, and more than ready to assist Hudson County. I’m available to spend ample time ensuring your pet is not only walked but cared for. I’m capable of multiple visits during the day and can provide excellent feedback, pictures, and video of your pets. I'm local to Church Square Park, and Mama Johnson Field, so we can also go for long walks getting both exercise and fresh sunshine even in the winter months. I’m especially available for those cold days when your pets need a drop in visit and scritches for warmth. I've also experience with senior pets requiring insulin, and my own deaf pup who needs a little extra TLC. I look forward to meeting and hearing all about your animals!
Reviews
When we were looking for a dog walker and met Shabazz in-person we immediately knew he would be a perfect fit for our puppy. There are some people who are just *good* with dogs and Shabazz is one of them. Shabazz worked with our puppy for a few months and we have nothing but good things to say about him. He is compassionate, responsible, and flexible. At one point he volunteered to swing by our place for an emergency (pup decided to literally eat his entire plastic bed) when I couldn't get home - showing just how caring and dependable he is. Our puppy LOVED Shabazz and he quickly became one of his best friends (I know because when we say his name he gets very excited). I will definitely be working with Shabazz again when our schedules align. You won't regret choosing him to care for your furry family member.
Shabazz was such a pleasure to work with. He was super responsive, met all my requests for taking care of my cat and even left us a Christmas card. Thank you Shabazz!
My dog Khalisee thoroughly enjoyed Shabazz's care and attention. She was walked daily and never wanted for attention. She is a bit standoffish but quickly warmed to Shabazz's great personality and caring attitude. He is the perfect sitter for Khalisee and we have already booked him for Christmas.
Shabazz is the best! My Irish Setter is a wild child, unless she’s with Shabazz. Recommend most highly!

Information Shabazz G. would like to know about your pet
Any favorite walking locations, games and favorite toys! Are there any “commands” that your pet should be practicing, that we can work on together? How does your pet interact with new animals? Does your pet have any dietary restrictions? Specific methods you have should your pet need discipline or redirection?
A typical day
Local to Church Square Park (and dog park), Mama Johnson Field, and always eager for a stroll along the Hudson and Pier A. Based on your pet's needs and comfort, we will walk, practice any commands you are introducing, hydrate, and end the day with tug and play and positive reinforcement.

Availability
I work primarily remotely, with occasional travel into Midtown Manhattan, thus I'm very flexible. I'm an early riser and can provide those sunrise walks and can also be free for early evening. As a performer, I do travel out of state for a few months, but always keep my calendar up to date and provide ample notice when I'll be out of town.
