Park Paradise for Pups

Pet care experience

I live within three blocks of three different parks, which are Ft. Tyron (Cloisters), Inwood Hill Park and one smaller park. I am a huge animal lover and wish I could have more than one dog. This is a GREAT way to play auntie to a whole bunch of dogs. I worked at NYC Veterinary Specialists so I learned a lot. I'm also friends with veterinarians and vet techs. I adopted my new dog, Miel after spending 14 wonderful years with my first pitbull Sasha. I love all dogs, but bully breeds have a special place in my heart. Miel is 7 years old and very energetic. She has NEVER met a stranger and I swear she will wag her tail off one day. The typical day starts at 7am with a meowing, "starving" cat as an alarm clock. I take Miel out for a walk/run and come back to prepare breakfast for her and my cat, Fangio.

Vivian and Ronnie are the best! Pip always loves his stays with them and we get so many fun pictures and videos! We have used Vivian and Ronnie before and will continue to use them! Pip looks forward to his next visit!

Vivian is great! She is precise, warm and welcoming sitter. My dog have a separation anxiety, and using Vivian's services saved my day. Now knowing her better my dog is happy to stay with Vivian and I am happy to go about my day knowing that my dog is in really good hands!

My golden doodle, Reba, is often anxious but she very quickly felt right at home with Vivian and her husband! They are lovely people and I would definitely leave Reba with them again.

Information Vivian L. would like to know about your pet

My biggest concern is whether they get along with a cat. My cat is pretty dog savvy, so unless the dog is cat aggressive, it should be fine.

A typical day

We will hit one of the three parks within walking distance of my apartment. If the weather is especially nice and I'm tired of our parks, I will load the dog up in my car and drive down to Central Park so they can sniff around there.
