I grew up with dogs of all ages & sizes and have since learned that every dog has his or her own unique needs and that each requires attentiveness; energetic dogs may not only enjoy a good romp on a walk every now and then but might also like to have time to sniff around or simply relax. Likewise even the very oldest puppies-at-heart might want to play in their own gentle way. One special service that I am glad to offer both your furry family by request is musical performance! I have multiple Master's degrees from a renowned conservatory and am happy to offer performances of Violin, Lute, and Ocarina. As to availability, I am a musician living in Manhattan and thus have a very flexible schedule for walks, house checks, and dog sitting! Additionally, I currently keep a cat and am also comfortable caring for felines should you have any. And lastly, for what it's worth, my fiancée attests that I have nearly inhuman patience in taking care of animals, among other things!
