Specialties

The only place better than Skootee’s to care for your pet is your own home! But sometimes you have to be away from your best friend, and that’s when we step in.

Attentive and personal daycare and overnight boarding for your dog or cat is at it’s best in our home-​like setting.

Our doggie guests have the run of the house and a fenced outdoor play yard.

Cats are treated to their own private room, with lots of personal attention.

We are experienced with special needs, such as medication and injections.

Avoid the hassle of schlepping your pet to and from those impersonal commercialized pet care centers. We pick up and return from any area of the New York area at no extra fee.

Last minute requests gladly accepted.

In addition to our very competitive rates, we are offering special deals to first time clients.

History

Established in 1994.

In 1994, I got the most fun job ever– professional dog walker !

As the years went by, I saw the need for a personalized,“Mom and Pop” approach to pet boarding and daycare.

In 2004, I acquired a large property perfect for the pets and enlisted the help of my husband, sister and even my Mom in my new venture.

Though our client base is growing, we limit the number of pet guests we accommodate and keep things simple.

Meet the Business Owner

Patti V.

Business Owner

Raised in Oregon, a big part of my life was my love of animals. Even as a teen, I got part time work caring for neighbor’s pets while they were on vacation.

When I moved to NYC ‘s UWS, I started my pet care career with the help of a friend who worked at a Veterinary clinic.

It has been very exciting, rewarding (and fun) to be of service to some of the nicest folks ever– pet owners!
