Hi! I'm Tatiana, a lifelong animal lover with many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I've been lucky enough to share my life with some very special dogs, including a poodle who lived an incredible 21 years and, most recently, my beloved Boston Terrier, Skye. Skye was deaf, and caring for her gave me years of experience with alternative communication and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I recently lost her to cancer, and while I miss having my own little companion tremendously, I'd love the opportunity to give some of that same care and affection to other dogs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's individual personality and routine. I'm an avid walker, so I'm happy to accommodate dogs who love getting their steps in, but I'm equally happy spending time with senior or lower-energy pups who prefer a slower pace and plenty of companionship. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I'll always treat your dog and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I'm attentive, patient, dependable, and happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, medications, or any other individual needs. I live in Bergen County, am very close to NYC, have reliable transportation, and am happy to provide regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!
