Sid and Tapka's Getaway Services - In Home Pet Sitting - Worcester, NY
Hi, my name is Lynette N. Henry, but everyone calls me Nickey (middle name's Nicole).
I was born in South America, raised in Boston, MA, and educated in Brooklyn, NY. I've been a caregiver of dogs for over 15 years. My business started in the Fort Greene/Clinton Hill area Brooklyn, NY in 2008. Home visits to dogs (cats also; clean/change litter box and feedings), taking them out for 1/2 hr to 1 hour walks, individual and pack walk.
In 2016, I moved to upstate NY, Otsego County.
I offer open kennel boarding in my home. It is a working farmer, my exboyfriend has goats and the guests have full view of them from the backyard. The yard is fenced in, and just about 1/2 an acre, that buts up to the pond. (which my water-loving breeds take full advantage of).
In addition, guest get 2-5 mile daily walks, weather permitting.... it takes a horrendous downpour for the hardiest to give up an outing. Photos and videos sent daily
I also offer housesitting for those furbabies who prefer to stay at home. Besides daily walks, frolicking in the backyard, feeding, meds administered, water changed, and photos & videos sent daily... mail is collected, plants are watered and house cleaning kept up.
*Let's set up a meet & greet! They can be done in person or via video chat (if you are outside of 25 miles or out of state).
[*A meet & greet must be scheduled for all new clients... I don't not take on new clients without a meet & greet.]
Thanking you in advance for choosing me.
