I absolutely love animals, but living in New York City unfortunately means we’re limited when it comes to live-in pets. My fiancé and I want the ability to care for other pets along with our rescue pup, Pip, who we love dearly. Pip is a Beagle and Collie rescue and we also have two small kitties I've had since college. (Don't worry about space, our home is a two bedroom, two bath so everyone has plenty of room to roam!) I have the most experience with small dogs, particularly Dachshunds, Poodles, and Chihuahuas, but I am open to caring for any breed as long as they are of medium size. I’m also happy to care for senior dogs or those who have special needs. My past experience caring for animals was fostering cats while I was in college and I’ve volunteered in shelters in upstate New York. Being a dog mom myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new so I always try my best to make your pet feel at home and make you feel at ease with as many (or as few) updates as you want so that you know your pup is well cared for while you’re away. We live in the dog- and family-friendly Upper East Side and I'd love to take your pup to Central Park, which is just a few blocks away, local pup-friendly restaurants, or just relax and cuddle up on the couch. I also like to work with pups and reinforce their training and reward them with treats for good leash walking, sitting and staying, and generally good behavior!. I would like to accept sleepover guests for the weekends, unless I am working from home, which would mean that weekdays are fine, too. I currently work in advertising downtown.
