Sid and Tapka's Getaway Services - In Home Pet Sitting - Worcester, NY
Hello, I'm Lynette N. Henry, but you can call me Nickey. With over 15 years of experience as a dedicated dog caregiver, my journey in pet care began in the vibrant neighborhoods of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, NY, back in 2008. Since then, I have expanded my services to offer comprehensive pet care in Otsego County, upstate NY. My offerings include individualized and pack dog walks, as well as home visits for both dogs and cats, where I ensure litter boxes are clean and their tummies are full. My certifications span a variety of animals, including cats and dogs of all sizes, chickens, and goats, showcasing my versatile expertise in pet care.
In my home, I offer open kennel boarding where your furry companions can enjoy a unique farm-like experience. Set on a half-acre fenced yard adjacent to a pond, your pets can relish the scenic views and engage in supervised outdoor play. I also provide daily walks ranging from 2 to 5 miles, ensuring your pets stay active and happy, no matter the weather. Daily updates in the form of photos and videos are sent to keep you connected to your pet's adventures. For those pets who prefer the comforts of their own home, I offer house-sitting services that include feeding, administering medication, and maintaining a clean environment.
I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident in their choice of caregiver. That's why I encourage setting up a meet and greet, which can be conducted in person or via video chat for those beyond a 25-mile radius or out of state. This initial meeting ensures that I can tailor my services to meet the specific needs of your beloved pets. Ready to get started? Book me through Petworks today, and let’s give your pets the care they deserve!
