“We were passing through town and needed daycare for our chihuahua. Shihong took Peanut on short notice, picked her up to take her on a walk around the block with his dog, Cotton, and reported back that things were going well! Peanut had a couple accidents in the house and he was unfazed. He was diligent about socializing her to his dog and by the end of the day they were snuggled in the crate together. Wish we could bring Peanut to Shihong every day! Highly recommend.”
“My dog loved staying with Claudia! He came home tired and happy from a day of fun!! She sent lots of photos & I will definitely be bringing him back!!”
“What an animal lover! Susan kept Lulu 2 days for us. She, Her dog and cats welcomed Lulu wonderfully. Fenced backyard great for running and playing. Lots of toys to play with.”
“One of the best sitters I've used on Rover. Very quick reply, very accommodating. Extremely smooth experience! I'll definitely use this walker again!”
“Our miniature poodle came home happy and exercised from his fun day with Hanna and her pups. We enjoyed the pics Hanna sent us too and would definitely book with Hanna again.”
“Excellent individualized care for my fur baby, who has severe separation anxiety. This wife-husband team works together seamlessly to provide fantastic communication, warm greetings and goodbyes, and everything any pup would need in between. Their own pups are friendly and accepting... My Rocky felt welcome and happy to "run with the pack" all day.”
“Ellen and John do a fantastic job with Barley! There are also lots of excellent photos and videos, keeping my husband and me involved, even when we are super busy with our jobs. Plenty of space for Barley to run around and play. Plenty of space for her to rest as well. Clean and well-kept. She comes home excited to see us, yet tired enough to take her lamby right to her crate for a nap. Will continue to use Ellen and John for the future needs of Barley.”
About: My first rescue was a mixed breed puppy for our family. She died after 17 years of filling our hearts with joy. My second rescue was also a mixed breed puppy. She is very affectionate and energetic. I have watched dogs for my family and neighbors on multiple occasions. I have a huge yard with a pond for running and swimming and there is always lots of snuggles and love inside. I work remotely 4 out of 5 weekdays. On the day I go into the office, my husband has the flexibility to stop in several times to walk the dog around the back yard and hand out treats. Safety is the number one concern and I would always have your dog leashed outside. Inside they would have plenty of space for play and rest .
About: I am a lifelong rescuer of dogs and cats...I have raised puppies, adopted senior dogs, and adopted six dogs from shelters in the last 25 years. Most of my dogs and I had basic training classes together. I love walking dogs, playing with them, and caring for them in general...and i am excellent at bathing and medicating pups of all ages....even the reluctant ones! I like to be outdoors, so I am happy to walk and play with the dogs in my care outside at least 3 times a day.. I work from home, so I am generally available, weekdays and weekends. I am flexible about scheduling, and I welcome long term stays. I am also happy to accept last minute requests. I own my home...I don't have a fenced yard, but will walk my dog guests frequently, as i do like to be outdoors...I enjoy having dogs in my home, and spending lots of time with them. They are welcome on the furniture and to sleep on the bed..

About: I have operated a pet sitting biz for 20 plus years in central NY. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am retired and available everyday anytime of the day to care for your dogs, cats in my home or yours, so you can get away without a worry. I love cuddly, playful, pups, And its quiet and calm here for the nervous ones. I currently have Sabrina and ziggy that are always friendly and reassuring. I have 2 friends labs. I have lots of time to devote. Big yard we go for plenty of walks or just snuggle on the couch. I have a life long love for dogs, cats and horses. Your pet will be welcome in my non smoking, clean place or happy to house sit also. Whichever is better for you and your pup(s)
About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
“Lydia was awesome. She was very flexable with drop off and pick up times and sent pictures and a video throughout the day to let was know that Nixon was doing well. We look forward to using her again.”
