Hi! We're Happy to be back! We are excited to see our old clients (we've missed ya'll very much!) and meet new ones! We are no longer in Richmond Hill, our new location is Whitestone, Queens. We are welcoming new clients! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently have a very, very friendly Schnauzer pup who loves to play, her name is Sonnie. And a gentle, calm, senior Cockalier name Happy.

They watched my little Rocky while I went away from my trip to Texas. Rocky looked so happy when we picked him up and they treated him like family. Would definitely use again and highly recommend their sitting service!
