Pet care experience

Loving yours, like my own

I've had & have pets of my own since I was 18 years old. I've had big & small breed sizes. I currently have 2.5 pups (Moreno & Oreo that resides with me, but Bonnie doesnt live with me). I love playing & walking with them. They get along with other fur babies. They travel everywhere with me, in the car, work, beach, mall (in a stroller). They won't stay behind. When giving me the opportunity to take care of your fur babies, I care for them, as if they were my own. All fur babies are allowed to get on furniture and be as comfortable as possible. They will have access to the fenced yard 24/7.

Very kind and responsible, haven’t felt this comfortable dropping off my dog in a very long time.

Vanessa extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos which I love! Her and her partner took my baby out in the woods for walks and followed all of my instructions carefully. They are also right near JFK, so they are an easy drop off/pickup when you’re traveling through there! Your dog will certainly get lots of affection with them

Schedule

I'm currently working from home and I also take care of your babies full time, for any services you need. My schedule is flexible, and I don't have a set schedule to follow. Hence, I'm very flexible with my time.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a crate (if needed). I do not go to the street with them without a leash, just for safety. Reminder: Your fur baby has to get along with other dogs because 1 out of my 2 furries stay with me permanently. Your fur baby will be in good & loving hands!

Pets

A typical day

I would take your furry pet, to the park & trails... often go outside so they could be able to use the bathroom, feed them and treats aswell. Keep them hydrated 24/7. I will love them, like one of my own.
