I want to be a dog-sitter because I have a dog-shaped hole in my life! I grew up with two dogs (as well as cats, gerbils, and fish!) All through high school and university, I dog-sat for friends and professors. I don’t have any dogs right now, so I would love to look after your fur-baby! My full-time job is as a dance instructor, but my schedule varies from day to day. This means I will get to spend plenty of time with your pooch, whether they join me for a walk (I go for about two hours a day,) dance with me as I practice, curl up next to me as I work from home on the business side of my job, or pose with me during evening yoga. I get a lot of my exercise at some of New York’s fantastic parks, including Central Park, the Hudson River Walkway, and the High Line. Your dog is welcome to join me in the great outdoors! I have a knack for dogs with anxiety issues. In the past, I’ve taken care of them and successfully built relationships with them. They’re just really comfortable around me. I also love cats—they’re so cuddly and playful!—and I’d be happy to look after your feline friends, too. I believe a meet-and-greet is essential. Not only do I want to get to know your pup, but I want to get to know you, too! I’ll have plenty of questions for you, to ensure your dog has the best stay possible. I approach everything in life with enthusiasm, positivity, and professionalism, and that’s how I’ll treat you and your dog, too.
