1. Gillian G.
“After a daycare, we had our pup with Gillian and her pups for a boarding. He absolutely loved being there. She really makes the experience feel like home, and so do her precious fur-babies. We were worry-free knowing ours was well-taken care of, and his needs for cuddles were met (more than expected)! We would definitely bring him to Gillian again. Thanks for an amazing stay!”
2. Brianna S.
“We have never left our dog Belle with anyone but family. Was so nice to have the piece of mind that Belle was being so well taken care of. We definitely recommend Brianna and will be using her again.”

4. Mike S.
“Castro had a wonderful time with his new friend Bear! Mike and his girlfriend/wife were super accommodating with our drop off/pick up time and were very very warm. I would definitely leave my dog in this couple's care again :)”
5. Jillian R.
“Jillian provides an amazing service to the dogs and their owners. From the moment Aspen arrived, she was playing and entertained. I got updates throughout the on how she was doing. Aspen came back exhausted after two days. An exceptional caretaker for pets that goes beyond any large boarders.”
6. Amber A.
“Amber was amazing with my pup Milo! She sent me many updates and even dealt with his bad pup behavior 😂 I’d recommend her to anyone that’s looking for boarding around the Schenectady area.”
7. Jen S.
“Jen was awesome! She always communicated quickly and our pup was in such good hands with lots of others to play with! She send regular photos while we were gone and made sure we were comfortable and was flexible when we had a slight change in our travel plans. Would use again!”
8. Anna H.
“Anna was INCREDIBLE. Incredibly competent and kind, I immediately felt safe leaving Zephyr with her and her fiancé. She was flexible with our timeline and responded immediately to anything I asked. She sent updates consistently and Zephyr had a wonderful time! And when I picked her up Anna sent us home with the SWEETEST little doggy bag with a report card, actual photos of Zephyr that immediately went on the fridge, and a bone. I genuinely cannot overstate how wonderful this experience was. She thought of things I'd never consider and provided such an organized, professional and personalized experience that I'll be sure to remember. If I ever need a sitter again I will 100% be going to Anna.”
9. Brad & Mery R.
“Thank you Brad & Mery for looking after Tupe while I was away on vacation this past week. I was extremely nervous to have a stranger watch him. You both quickly eased my mind when we stopped over for a “meet and greet”. Tupe felt right at home as soon as we walked into your home. To anyone looking for a sitter…Brad and Mery are best team! I will be contacting you soon!!! Thank you again.”
10. Peg H.
“Peg is great, very responsive to texts and gives you updates a couple times a day. I trusted her right away. She has a big fenced backyard for the dogs to run around and she threw the ball for mine until her arm hurt, Love that!! Toga came home after 5 days happy and exhausted so he’s giving 5 stars as well.”
11. Kathy H.
“Kathy looked after our 1yr old Cavalier for 2 nights while we were out of town. Kathy is a knowledgeable and caring dog lover and we have already booked another stay with her.”
12. Jack R.
“Jack helped me when I was in a pinch to find someone to watch my dog Xena for the week. I received daily updates and she genuinely looked happy in the pictures and videos! She came back well taken care for. Thanks Jack for everything!”
13. Kyle T.
“Bella was well taken care of and happy with Kyle! We had a meet & greet before Bella’s stay that was very helpful! Daily pictures and updates were provided. Will definitely use them again!”
14. Haley S.
“Haley, and her family, were outstanding during Boomer's stay. I feel like they took care of Boomer as if he was their own pet and really connected with him, in spite of his shenanigans!. Haley sent regular photos and updates which made me feel relieved during our vacation. It's hard to leave your fur baby! I would definitely go back to Haley for future stays.”
15. Sarah & Anthony A.
“Sarah and Anthony are amazing. They truly treasured my dog as their own dog. They have a huge backyard which Christmas ( my dog) enjoyed so much. I highly recommend them to care for your furry babies.🥰😍🥰”
16. Maegan K.
“Maegan was great! She responded quickly each time I contacted her. Maegan's house and yard are well set up for a visiting dog. She is relaxed and calm and well-prepared. Drop-off and pick-up were very easy. My little dog seemed comfortable in Maegan's house. I was given an update and a picture of my dog while I was away. I would happily choose Maegan as a sitter again.”
17. Jayla L.
“Jayla is very knowledgeable about dogs and is super wonderful to interact with! We will definitely be bringing our boy back to stay with her again :)”
18. Awoo H.
“It was nice knowing the dogs would have a great time while we were away. They had so many other dogs to play with and so much land to run, play and sniff. Definitely going to board here again when we travel.”
19. Kyle W.
“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”
20. Juliana & Jesse M.
“Juliana and Jesse took our two dogs last minute over a holiday week and were super kind! We got multiple pictures every day and our dogs were treated like family. They even sent us with dog-friendly pies as treats when we picked our dogs up! Super nice and accommodating sitters, definitely would recommend.”
