Dog Boarding in Candor, NY

“Shelby loves all animals. She took care of my high energy border collie while I was away. Would definitely recommend.”

“Alex is a great host and Keira loved it there! She enjoyed the pond, playing, fetch and exploring the grounds. I don’t think she wanted to leave!”

“great sitter! my pup had a wonderful stay there”

“Heidi was so great with our fur babies! She sent so many pictures and kept us informed. She is also so knowledgeable. Our babies enjoyed hanging out with Kenzie who is also so sweet and adorable”

“This is our second time booking with Lorie this year! We cannot recommend her enough. Our dog instantly became a part of her family and for that we are so thankful! It’s hard to trust others with your pets but Lorie is very attentive and responsible. She always updates us with adorable photos of all of the dogs having the best time together. We hope to use her to watch our pup every time we are in town!”

About: I have fed, walked, trained, groomed, and medicated family and friends' pets since I was 10 years old. I took a vet assistant course in highs school and have worked as a veterinary assistant and technician since 2020. I have my own small zoo at home made up of birds, mice, aquatics, a cat, and even some insects! I have a passion for animal welfare and am always doing research to provide my pets the best quality of life. I currently work full-time on weekdays but am available before 7AM after 4PM for quick drop-ins for things like potty breaks. My weekends are usually free starting on Friday evenings after 3PM. I am very careful to check my surroundings for anything that may cause harm to an animal or be an escape hazard. I make sure to ask pet owners about where their pet may require extra attention/supervision and their pets habits. I prefer to keep pets in their known surroundings to prevent further stress while pet sitting, but if needed, I may be able to care for certain animals in my own home. I have a cat, but she is well-behaved and NEVER alone with other animals, nor left in a situation in which she can harm or be harmed.

“Excellent communication! We felt like our dog was able to have a little vacation of his own. We look forward to being repeat customers the next time the need arises. Thanks!”

“Andrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.”

“Ashley and her family were wonderful hosts for our dog, Dudley. He came back from his 4-day stay in great condition. He had good walks and lots of attention. He is a bit idiosyncratic in the way of older dogs, and that did not phase them. We really appreciated their loving care. Plus, Dudley got along excellently with their sweet spaniel, Wally! Ashley kept us well up-dated on his activity, which was reassuring, because it's hard leaving quirky old dogs. We highly recommend Ashley and her family.”

“I left my pups (for the first time ever) at Erin’s and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! I was working a 12 hour night shift and she gave me updates on the pups before they settled in for the night, allowing me to fully focus at work knowing they were warm and safe. My pups were able to sleep with Erin and her partner in their room (which the pups are used to doing at home - Caya loves snuggles)! They did a great job handling Reggie’s anxieties and they had a 17 year old Lab that my pups got to run around and socialize with as well. I will definitely be using them in the future. Very sweet people, nice fenced in yard and a very warm and dog friendly home! Thank you guys again from the bottom of my heart ❤️”

“Laura was a huge help this past weekend while we were visiting the Ithaca area, agreeing to watch our pup, Beau, somewhat last minute after our original pet sitter fell through. She took Beau on a hike and sent great pictures, which really made us feel at ease. When we came to pick him up he seemed very content and like he had had a great time. Thank you, Laura!”

“Michaella was excellent! Having never stayed with someone else before, our dog was quickly very comfortable with Michaella. She sent plenty of photo updates and clearly gave our dog lots of love and attention. We would definitely book Michaella again in the future.”

“Our experience leaving our one year old mini gilded doodle with Steve was outstanding! It was her first time being left overnight away from home and Steve was wonderful caring for her as well as keeping me in the loop with photos and a detailed report. She learned so much by spending time with his other well managed dogs. We now feel when our baby can’t come with us, she will be happy and well cared for.”

“Lydia was great with my dog. She constantly sent pictures of the good times my pup was having. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!!”

“Very responsive, flexible, and accommodating! It felt like my sweet boy was welcomed into a family for a few days. So glad to have someone to go back to for dog care in the future!”

“Kyle was great for our young blue heeler Shadow! Our dog needs time to warm up to new people, and Kyle was very comfortable with that process. Upon first meeting, Shadow growled at him and snapped at the air a bit but Kyle was not bothered and knew to ignore Shadow at first. After some time, Shadow was asking him for belly rubs. Before leaving Shadow with Kyle we arranged two visits between him and the dog to make sure they were friends. Kyle was very accommodating and happy to take that extra time out of his day. I really appreciated his willingness to do that. During their time together, Kyle sent photos and updates every day. Right away from the photos we could see that our pup was relaxed and settling into spending time with his new human friend in the house and on walks. Shadow even got to sleep in bed and sit on couches (like he does at home...) Knowing everything was OK for both of them really helped us enjoy our trip. Big thanks to Kyle!”

“Our boy Oshie absolutely loved his time with Claudia. So much so he didn’t want to leave when I went to pick him up. Claudia was very responsive and sent lots of photos. It’s nice to find someone you can trust look after your loved ones. Oshie can’t wait to go back.”

“Jahaira has been great and superrrr flexible with last minute requests. I’m glad she’s expanding her pet sitting because she’s awesome! She really knows how to care for my little one and always sends updates!”

“She was great! She sent lots of pictures and videos and was very responsive! Has an amazing set up for the dogs and our pup came home exhausted!! Will definitely be back!”

“I cannot express how wonderful Bridget's care was for our dog, Maya. We adopted Maya from the Humane Society 6 months ago and this was our first time leaving her with anyone else. She is an anxious dog and we were worried. Bridget went above and beyond to make Maya feel comfortable!! Above and beyond! And she provided us with constant updates, picture, videos, etc. I never had a moment of worry. We have been home less than an hour and Maya has already settled right back in showing she was clearing shown love and support the entire time we were away. 5 stars! We will absolutely be booking Bridget again!”
