A lot of time and love to give!

Pet care experience

I have a HUGE love for animals. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and breeds for the past 20 years. I have experience with dog walking (leash training) and administering medication. I work from home so your pet is never alone for long periods and go for walks at least 3 times a day. Most importantly I follow mom and/or dad's instructions when it comes to the care of their furry family member. I work from home so your pet will rarely spend time alone. I am somewhat of a 'homebody' so I'm never out for long periods. I love spending time with dogs, going on long walks, playing fetch, and tug-of-war with your furry friend. There are several parks a block away. Hope to get to meet your furry friends They're allowed on the couch (but not on the bed). There are vet clinics within walking distance of me in case of an emergency. And there is always comfortable bedding and a cozy environment provided for your furry friend!

Vasia is really great and relieved all the worry we had when leaving our pitbull Iggy with someone. Her attention to detail is on point and her husband & her are truly amazing with dogs. Would highly recommend!

Vasia is the first person I have ever let board my Rhodesian Ridgeback and I’m very happy with everything she promised. It’s tough leaving my dog with a stranger but she did a wonderful job and was very communicative. Rambo fell in love with her. I live upstate and I had a 1-day last minute business trip in Brooklyn. I was fortunate to find someone literally 2 blocks from the highway exit and I don’t have to drive through those crazy streets. Vasia lives on a quiet residential street with a huge park down the block. What a perfect location! We arrived an hour early and she was able to accommodate our early arrival. I also ran a little bit late on picking him up past our scheduled time and Vasia was kind to accommodate. I felt confident Vasia would take care of my beast. She is very understanding of Rambo’s reactive tendencies being a farm dog experiencing NYC for the first time and is able to handle his 100 lbs of energetic muscle. He’s not good with other dogs so Vasia took him for runs to waste his energy. Vasia sent plenty of updates and pictures and she looked like she really enjoyed Rambo’s company as well. A true dogperson. Her backyard is pretty cool too. I would definitely highly recommend Vasia’s services.

We booked an appointment with Vasia and after several times of calling and texting and knocking on the door no one answered. We had to make alternate arrangements for our dog which put my family in a bind as we had to be somewhere. No acceptable

Information Vasia M. would like to know about your pet

If a pup has certain behavioral issues what methods are used by the owner for me to follow (ex: Is the pet supposed to be relegated to a specific area of the house or crated?). Knowing words/commands is important. If your pet has any allergies to certain foods or the grass/weeds in the backyard. And if they are fixed, house trained, and/or aggressive towards other dogs or children.

A typical day

I love going for walks at Cannonball Park (which has a fenced ring for dogs to run around). Also going to dog parks (if friendly with other dogs), and for long walks on Shore Road. I'm very active with pets and have fun playing catch and tug-of-war and is a great form of exercise for me also :~)
