Pet care experience

Your Local Go-to Gal

I grew up in Brooklyn with 2 boxer Pitt mixes. They were the sweetest loving dogs. I currently with no dogs at the moment which allows me endless time to spend with your pup. I live a few blocks away from prospect park and I like to take each dog through the park to socialize. If we are not in the park we walk on the outskirts and enjoy the lovely stroll near the botanical gardens. I am available to watch smaller breeds as well as larger breeds very well while respecting their space. All dogs boarding with me will have proper bedding and endless love and attention. Pick-up for Brooklyn will be $25 and Manhattan will be $80.

This was the first time in 3 years that I couldn’t take my dog with me on a trip. On top of being in the middle of trying to figure out my dog’s meds for her new medical diagnosis with her vets DAYS before dropping her off with Ursula, my anxiety was at an all time high. However, Ursula did EVERYTHING right. She sent pictures, videos, and updates every time my dog ate and went out to the bathroom. She is intuitive and listened to what I needed and more importantly, what my dog needed. I will not hesitate to use her again and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs to board their dog. Thank you, Ursula!

Rover was the last place I wanted to be looking for a sitter- I’ve seen all the horror stories- but when a last minute trip came up and none of my usual sitters were available, I decided to take the plunge. Ursula was a true god send. She had a meet up with us prior to the booking, asked all the right questions and my pup got along with her so quickly. Pili is an high energy reactive dog with a bite history and she thrived from the many walks, love and attention she was given by Ursula. THANK YOU!!

Schedule

*I was traveling the world for a few months BUT now I'm back to take care of everyones Fur babies* :) I'm currently working part-time so I have endless time to watch and walk all pups. I prefer drop offs the night before the sit starts so I can show them around and allow them an extra night with me.

Safety, trust & environment

While pets stay in my home I set them up with a nice space on the couch or they are free to sleep on my bed. I am always open to owners providing them with their own bed if they prefer that option.

A typical day

We will play fetch in the house and leashed fetch outdoors if they are open to it. I have xl leashes for this. Your dog will enjoy homemade dog treats and access to toys while indoors. While we are outdoors your dog will enjoy the new sights, meeting new friends and fetch along with unlimited love from my mom who visits often.

I would like to know as much as possible about a dog before sitting them. Are they aggressive in any way shape or form? How do they interact with other dogs? Are they kennel trained ? I don't have a breed preference.
