Loving home, patient hands

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and I earned my degree in Chemistry from the University at Buffalo. After graduating, I spent time working in the medical field and in laboratories — work I valued, but work that kept me away from the people I loved most.

After becoming a mother of three, I felt called to be more present for my children while still doing something meaningful outside of the home. That leap of faith led me to create Daphne's Doggy Daycare — a cozy, in-home space where pups are treated like family.

I have my own sweet pup, Scarlette, named after Scar from The Lion King. I love her beyond measure, and I always want her to have the very best and coziest care she deserves — so I created that same standard for every dog that stays here.

Running this business lets me combine my love for caregiving with my passion for animals. Every dog receives personalized attention, photo updates, progress reports, and a nurturing environment that feels just like home.

I don't just "watch dogs" — I care for them as if they were my own dog and children, creating a space where they feel safe, loved and happy while their families are away.

What began as something small has blossomed into something truly incredible. I'm beyond grateful for every client who has trusted me to care for their furry family members, and for my husband, whose support and encouragement made this journey possible.

with love, Daphne
