A one-day certification for the people who care for dogs professionally. Eight hours, hands on + a credential a New York household can trust.

What it is

A working credential, not a weekend badge. One full day of instruction, practice + assessment, built for the people private households actually hire.

Dog nannies + private household staff

Nannies + housekeepers with a dog in their care

Dog walkers + sitters going independent

Anyone hired to keep a dog safe all day


What's included

An 8-hour certification day, taught in person

Pet First Aid, CPR + basic life support

Reading a dog — body language, stress + warning signs

Safe handling, leash work + New York street sense

Feeding, medication timing + the shape of a good day

What we don't do

We don’t certify veterinary skill. This credential says you can handle, observe + respond — not diagnose, prescribe or treat. Medicine stays with the veterinarian, always.


How it works

01 — Intake call. A free 30-minute call to check fit + answer your questions.

02 — Certification day. Eight hours, in person, small group, hands on.

03 — Afterward. Certificate issued + a written scope of practice you can hand to a household.


Getting started

Start with the intake call. It’s free, it’s thirty minutes + it tells us both whether the day is right for you.
