Hi, My name is Sophie and I have been a dog parent and lover for over 25 years. My first dog was a Chow Chow and lived to 14 years of age, so I have experience with older dogs. I currently have an 13 year old Maltese Shihtzu mix that will keep your dog company. I can look at a dog's eyes, or listen to their breathing or barking, or just watch their body language, and can tell what they are trying to say. So, I can read their minds. Your dog is welcome on my furniture or to play in the fenced in yard. Potty breaks and walks every 2-4 hours or more frequently if necessary. I am available everyday for day care or boarding. My house is near the Verrazzano Bridge. Perfect for dropping off the pups and hopping on the express or local buses to Manhattan and Brooklyn.
