Typically animals have free range of the kitchen and dinning room area, but if a client advises to leave the dog in the restroom (for example) when left alone, that is easily achievable. Whatever the client and dog feels most comfortable with works for me. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on my bed so please ensure the dog has a bed to sleep on when being dropped off.

Information Symone S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dogs age, breed, and size. I would like to know of any special diet, if they've had surgery before, and any other medical history you believe would be important.

A typical day

There is a huge dog park across the street for dog friendly dogs. I am within a great area for dogs to sniff around as there are tons of scents for them to smell. If you have enrichment toys, please be sure to drop them off as well, love for them be occupied without having to be exhausted.

Pet lover - Beagle mommy

Pet care experience

I had a German Sheppard from elementary school to high school. (RIP Peppy - my first love) In high school, adopted a Beagle, whom has SO much energy. (My second love - Penny) Moved out to Chicago and my mother kept her in NY. Now I am looking for the next animal to love, walk, feed, and play with while out here. I understand and follow feeding schedules and walking schedules and if you’re babies are on any medications, please let me know! (beagles are prone to being overweight so I made sure she ate and also exercised). I am available for most days during the weekdays and weekends.

Asked Symone to watch our dog for the third time now! She’s amazing and will continue to request her!

Symone was the perfect dogsitter for our 5 month old puppy while we were on vacation for a week. She was so kind, communicative, attentive, and caring. We’re so grateful for her wonderful care!

Symone is an incredible sitter. She kept my dog at her apartment when I was out of town. She is incredibly kind and treated my dog wonderfully. She sent pics and updates throughout the stay. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her services!
