I have a nervous nelly 60lb dog and had concerns on finding a local dog walker with the right energy to walk him in the very busy streets. I feel very much at peace knowing that my boy is being walked and and being socialized by Renee while I am at work. She built a lovely rapport with him and I am very grateful!!”
18. Nicole C.
About: I grew up spending many summers on my grandparent's farms in Portugal and Italy where taking care of our farm dogs, barn cats, and the occasional chicken were the norm! Between the countryside, the suburbs, and living in Brooklyn, I have taken care of bunnies, house cats, budgies and cockatiels, and dogs big and small for the last 9 years. I have experience with providing care and medications for senior cats and dogs as well. My practice as a yoga teacher has even prepared me to stay calm and attentive yet playful when handling your pet's needs. Currently, I work part-time and freelance as a yoga instructor, reiki practitioner, and astrologer, so I have flexibility to support your pet's schedule for care. For example, schedules could include 12-1pm drop in visits or walks, 4-7pm feeding times, or overnight care! When I stop by to care for your pet, I make sure I reread the instructions provided to me regarding you and your pets needs. I always lock up your home before, during, and after each visit and will take the time to play with your pet, hang out with them, and provide much needed love in whatever way your pet likes! Afterwards, I like to send updated photos of my time spent with your pet to give them an overview of what our time together has been like :)
