Pet care experience

Any dog is treated as family

I have had 4 large dogs in my adult life. My last 2 (bother & sister) are now over the bridge. They were trained to the point that they never needed a leash in most situations. I took them wherever I went. We did lots of outdoors. I have property upstate in NY also. Any dog is part of my life, my family. Happiest when they're around

Vinny is the best dog sitter, especially for a large dog. We’re so grateful for another great stay with Vinny!

Horus loves spending time with Vinny. We never worry about our dog when he’s in Vinny’s care.

Rocky always has so much fun with Vinny! He was obsessed with the doggie pool and running around with other friends. Not only is he taken care of with Vinny, but will have a great time

There is no one I trust more with my little one. Vinny makes sure that Luna is happy and well-loved. She was treated like family, and you could tell she was so at home when I got the pics of her watching TV and getting nighttime cuddles. Knowing that Luna was in great hands made our holiday that much more enjoyable. We will definitely book again

Schedule

I am currently not working after dealing with an illness. However, I'm fine, fit and active. Nothing but time for hanging with any pets. Being without my own, I look forward to sharing my days with them.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard right on a park with a large pond. Dogs can come & go as they please. I have lots of time to spend with them almost every day. If I have to leave the house I would take them with me.

A typical day

I look to my pets as I would any friend to spend a day with. I know from having large dogs how much they love to be outdoors . After beating my cancer it is my goal to be as active as I can by hiking, going to dog parks, etc.Even at home I have the pond and park behind my house where I can just chill with them and keep them as comfortable as their age and energy allows. I'm very patient with dogs.

It is EXTREMELY important to know all ailments, meds, restrictions in diet and whatever else may be important. One of my last Swiss Mountain dogs had to have a leg removed at 5yo. I learned a lot about dealing with handicap issues. But she lived a full happy life with me & her brother till the end.
