Animal Haven-Perfect Doggy Vacation

Pet care experience

Zane and I have both been pet sitting for about 9 years now. We are two reliable, trustworthy and energized sitters who want to do nothing short of making your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. Did I mention we are fun? We can provide references and we always prefer doing a meet and greet before taking on any sitting job. This is to ensure security and comfortability on both ends. Zane and I are both equipped to handle last minute and emergency situations. If your pet is on medication, we can administer them. We are obligated to not only keeping your pet's mind at ease, but yours as well. We always send daily updates on how your pet is doing and tons of pictures because we love taking a good old snapshot! If you are in need of a sitter who is going to give your pet the attention it needs, we come highly recommended. Plus your pet doesn't just get one set of hands to rub his/her belly, they get two! About this sitter: I have worked in the veterinary field for over 8 years. I have access to experienced veterinarians that I can contact in case of an emergency. My partner Zane is extremely enthusiastic when it comes to dogs (small, medium or large). He is an experienced dog walker and dog sitter. We have always had a strong passion for animals since we were children and we are dedicated to making your dog have the best stay ever! Any activity your pooch is used to doing with you we can accommodate while they are in our care. Our home is only a few blocks away from the beautiful Fort Greene Park where we love taking the dogs for nice strolls and fun times. However if your pooch just wants to be a couch potato and watch television or be read to, we have the perfect doggy couch to accommodate his needs. We are experienced in medicating animals as well as bathing, nail trims, ear cleanings, anal gland expressions and fluid administration. We are always available in last minute situations and pretty much 24/7. Therefore if you are ready to leave your dog in a safe, trustworthy, fun environment we are definitely the ones to entrust for care of your loved ones. Zane and I have both been pet sitting for about 4 years now. We are reliable and trustworthy sitters who want to do nothing short of making your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you are away. We can provide references and we always want to do a meet and greet before any sitting job we take on. This is to make sure you are comfortable with us caring for your loved ones while you are away and your pets are comfortable with us too! We are both equipped to handle last minute and emergency situations. If your pet is on medication, we can administer them. Lastly if you need your plants watered while you are away, no problem. Do you need someone to bring in your mail or the newspaper? Done! We are obligated to not only keeping your pet's mind at ease, but yours as well! Why I love dog sitting Zane and I have had a soft spot for dogs as far back as we can remember. My Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix (above photo) was adopted from CAPS in Houston Texas. He was diagnosis with parvo when he was a puppy. Those were the most frightening 72 hours of my life! Luckily with a lot of tender, love and care and tons of fluids, also all the help that I received while working at Bingle Veterinary Hospital, he pulled through and now is living happily in New Jersey with my mother. Zane has tons of experience with dogs who seem to be not as friendly as other dogs. I have seen him first hand work with a fearful chihuahua by the name of "Manny" who doesn't let anyone touch him other then his owner. However with Zane, Manny eventually came around which I've never seen him do. His patience and calm demeanor made Manny feel safe and cared for. Meet my pets We live on the first floor walk up in our building. It's about ten stairs, however if your dog doesn't like steps we are two strong young people who can give him/her a lift! This is a three bedroom apartment and we have turned the smaller room of the three into a pet friendly haven which is adjoined to the master bedroom (my room). There is a deck off the kitchen that we like to hang out at to catch the sunrise or sunset. Your pet has more then enough room on their to come hang out with us and chew on his/her favorite toy. Our building is pet friendly and so is the area. You cannot walk outside without seeing someone walking their Chihuahua or Great Dane for that matter. Fort Greene Park is literally right down the street from us and if your pet is up for an adventure so are we! About my yard We do not have a backyard, but we do live right down the street from the beautiful, gigantic Fort Greene Park which we frequent quite often! We also have a deck right off our kitchen that we let the dogs come out and hang with us. My experience administering medication Yes we are equipped and comfortable administering medication (pill, liquid or topical) on your dog.

Amber is Amazing! I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but Amber made sure both Bruno and I were comfortable before the stay. She was commutative, with me and Kept Bruno very active between walks and dog park fun. She sent tons of pictures which I loved! My dog didn’t even want to leave! I will definitely be using her again.

This was my first time using a dog walker for Max, and it was as painless and helpful as I could’ve hoped. Zane and Amber were communicative, they took Max out and sent pictures and updates and refilled his water and made sure he was setup for the rest of the afternoon when they left. Highly recommend, will be using again!

My dog immediately loved Zane. I felt secure and could relax knowing he was in a loving home. The communication was great, and lots of pictures were fun. I highly recommend Zane and Amber.

Information Amber W. would like to know about your pet

We are interested in sitting for all breeds of dogs. Since I work for a veterinary hospital, I am used to dealing with all types of animals. Big, small, short or tall, Zane and I accept them all! If your dog has allergies or is currently taking medication these are details we need to know. Does your furry friend get along with other furry friends (dog aggressive) or do they like a one and one on situation? Does your pet get along with children? We do not have any children, but kids love to play with animals and we wouldn't want any mishaps on our walks with your dog.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Fort Greene Park and of course all around our beautiful neighborhood! Zane and I frequent Fort Greene Park quite often. If your dog loves to run they will get a work out with us! If your dog just likes to go for slow strolls we have no problem with that either. Your dogs wish is our command! Your dog's sleeping arrangement We have a three bedroom apartment. We have turned the smaller room of the three into an animal haven (literally) which is adjoined to the master bedroom. There is a huge comfy couch that your dog can catch some z's on. Also we have a doggy bed if he prefers that with tons of toys all around. If your dog likes to sleep in the bed with you we can accommodate that as well (I know my dog loves laying next me). Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as he or she needs. Both of our schedules are very flexible. If I am not home Zane is and vice versa. When it comes down to it your animal will always have someone to give he/she the attention they need.
