I’m working partially from home so my schedule is flexible and I am available for walks and play most of the day. I Love going on long walks and even runs if possible

Information Stav K. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have special needs? Let me know if your dog has any special needs and I’ll do my best to make them feel at home. Has your dog been away from home before? If it’s their first time away from home, they need lots of love and attention. Can your dog climb stairs? My apartment is a 3rd floor walkup, with no elevator.

A typical day

There are 2 huge parks in my neighborhood that I would love to walk around with your dog. I also like to run in the park and would love it if your dog could join me :) I will always be warm and loving to your dog so they would be comforted while you are away!

Stav K.'s Neighborhood

I love dog energy in my life

Pet care experience

Lola passed away eight years ago after being with me for 14 years. I'm holding back from adopting another dog and I miss having a dog around so I find it a perfect solution to doggie-sit once in a while. I love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, home or walking and running around my beautiful neighborhood with large parks. My apartment is very spacious and bright, not a usual NYC apartment. Your dog is very welcome to use all my couches and beds.. :) I work part time and my work schedule is flexible. I will happily walk your dog in the morning. The second walk will be afternoon. Before we go to sleep we will have a third stroll in the 'hood.

Stav was great with my dog Lily and provided her with a fun weekend. They sent regular updates and pictures unprompted which was wonderful. Would totally book again!

Thanks for watching Chyna again! Just like the last time, I picked up a very happy dog who clearly enjoyed herself while I was gone

Thank you for being so kind and thoughtful with Mars! He loves visiting and always returns home with a smile on his face.

Stav did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our energetic year-old rat terrier, Ziggy! From the start, it was clear that Stav truly cares about animals, providing attentive care while keeping Ziggy happy and well-exercised. We felt completely at ease knowing Ziggy was in such capable hands. Highly recommend Stav to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter!
