Pet Boarding in Big Flats

About: Taking care of pets has always been part of my life. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. As for walks, I have to active kids who are always willing to take a walk around. I currently work at the local school just minutes from my home. I come home middle of the day. I am home during the summer and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one dog who is a big baby. Dogs are allowed to lay wherever they are comfortable but can also crate if they are used to that.

“As many reviewers mentioned, Jessica & Matt are very dependable, flexible, caring, patient, and professional dog sitters that I would recommend to anyone who looks for dog sitting. Our hi-energetic two years old lab Pluto stayed with them for 3 long weeks, and during his stay, Jessica & Matt kept me in the loop with lots of photos & communications through text messages. I’m so blessed to have found them for Pluto!! I live an hour away (one-way) from Jessica & Matt, but two hours (round trip) are so worth driving for awesome sitters!! ❤️?”

About: I know how to spoil animals! Just ask my 2 dogs and my 2 cats! Let me spoil yours, too, with a walk or a belly rub! I am a school teacher off for the summer and can help you with your pets during the day or while your out of town. Let me know what your pets need. I can take them for a walk, play with them, or just give them some love and attention!

About: I have had pets my whole life. I have had many dogs and some cats as well. I can train puppies, have lots of patience with them, and can love on them all day long. I have 2 dogs. Someone is always home, so pups are never unattended. We have a 11 year old daughter as well who loves animals and loves to help care for them. We have 3 acres of land, and a log home. We have a cable to hook up dogs who like to wander, but can allow dogs to run loose if they are well trained.

“Tucker was very happy with Bill &Emma . Wasn't to excited to see me when I picked him up . They sent lots of videos and pics of Tucker's stay with them. Will definitely use them again ,very pleased with the care they gave Tucker.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.

About: I’ve been a pet care taker for 10 years off and on. I’ve had pets all my life. I work from home so they’re never alone for long! I work from home so I am able to play with the animals frequently and let them go outside to potty. They love the all day attention! I have lots of treats to offer and I’m always buying new toys for them. We always have fresh water and feeding is morning and evening.

About: I work at home so I am available most days of the week and even some weekends, and I can walk dogs daily by all the beautiful trails in the area. I've been an animal lover ever since I was a kid I tried to care for baby birds that I would find that fell out of their nests, and other little creatures in the neighborhood, and as long as I can remember my family has always owned a cat or dog for past the 10 years I have been lucky to have in my dog Benji he is a Rat Terri mixed Blue Heeler, and to every pet owner your pet is family and I want to provide that type of comfort and ease to other pet owners that have to find someone to take care of their pet even If just for a few hours or day, or even a week. I work from home every week and can fit in my schedule some pet care on weekends I don't mind having pet sleepovers my doggy Benji loves the company. I have experience as a caregiver I have taken care of people and administered medication and so forth so I'm detail oriented, and organized and can follow owners' schedules for dogs, and medication prescription instructions. I also am very alert to behavioral changes in dogs once I know the dog to be aware If the dog is not feeling well.

“Kristen took incredibly good care if our dog! They went to the dog park every day, played together, and made lifelong doggie friends. Kristen sent pics every day and cared for our dog as if she was her own. She even gave her a bath! We will definitely use her services again!”

“I had a great experience with Jessica with my pups! Prior to booking, she was very responsive and even was open to a meet and greet with my pups and hers. During the stay, she sent photos and provided updates! I can always tell if my pups had a good stay with a sitter based on how they act when I pick them up. They both appeared calm and happy and one of them seemed to want to stay and play! I will definitely be using Jessica's service again!”

About: I engage in ongoing education to ensure that I have the tools and resources to provide the best services to keep your pets happy and relaxed while they are in my care. I am currently midway through my hours towards being a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CCPDT-KA). As a marriage and family therapist, I know that pets play an important role in the family! My ongoing education has included classes on animal behavior, LIMA compliance, and canine communication. I train and participate in therapy dog work through Pet Partners as well as AKC sports with my own dogs (including Conformation, Rally Obedience, Trick Dog Titles, Scent Work). I was a volunteer kennel assistant at the Luzerne County ASPCA from 2011/2012 and provided training walks with large and medium breed dogs. In addition to my pet experience, I am also familiar with service dogs and their unique needs through my ongoing doctoral research at the University of North Dakota. Please note that I currently work a day-job so I am only able to watch pets that are able to be alone for approximately 5 hours at a time. Advanced notice is appreciated as it allows me to adjust/extend my workbreak to visit your pets during the day. Because of my health concerns and also keeping your pet's safety in the forefront, I will not walk dogs in outdoor environments if the weather is above 80f. I will be happy to take your dog to a pet-friendly store with air conditioning or a dog park where I know water is available to keep them active and moving while also being mindful of limitations. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to ensure that you can travel stress free! In addition to sending regular updates of my time spent with your pet, I make sure your pet is experiencing regular exercise and playtime and fed during your preferred scheduled times to ensure that your pets "Staycation" is also stress free! As of March 2025, I am able to provide sitting services for dogs from Thursdays through Sundays when remote work is possible. We are able to accept crate trained dogs of any age. I am able to pick dogs up from Wednesday evenings and return home on Sunday evenings if transportation poses challenging. We follow owner's feeding schedule and try to meet (or safely exceed) normal exercise to make sure your pet has as little disruption to their schedule as possible--this might include a long walk down the road by our home with plenty of time to sniff along the treeline, a vigorous game of fetch in the yard secured to a 100 foot long line, or some gentle training and playing with toys in doors. I will schedule a meet and greet in advance of pet sitting. I will ask questions about your pet, your pet's routine, feeding, play preferences, and any health concerns. At the end of the meet and greet, if it appears I will be a good fit for your pet's needs, I am happy to schedule a visit to our home and book with you! For this reason, I prefer scheduling at least (1) week in advance. I do my best to follow your routine and schedule to keep things calm and relaxed for your pet. Often, we will increase exercise (if safe for your pet's health) and play so your pet is happy to sleep and relax while you are away. Pets staying in our home have access to a 1.5 acre property where we spend plenty of outdoor time for fetch, playing tug or with other games, having sniffing scavenger hunts for enrichment, or walked down a peaceful road. Dogs are leashed, tethered, or attached to a long line each time we go outside for the stay. As we do have other animals in the house, pets will need to be crate trained in order to stay with us. Pet guests staying with us will be safely crated in our guest bedroom during the evening—I will often sleep in the guest room with them so they're not alone during the night! We allow ample time for rest and strive to follow their normal schedule (such as meal times, potty breaks, and play activities) as closely as possible. To minimize stress, we rarely schedule multiple dogs at the same time unless they are familiar with each other. We ask owners to bring their dogs own bed if they're using our crate so they have familiar scents.

About: I’ve been a pet lover ever since I’m a kid. I own 7 cats and they are my whole heart, I truly love them more than anything else. I would love nothing more than to help you and your pet in a time of need ❤️ Currently, I live in my own home with my seven kitties. I typically wake up around 5 am and spend a bit of time with my animals and feed them and clean their boxes and all that other fun stuff! Caring for my pets is my number one priority, they truly do mean the world to me. I strive to create a pet friendly environment where my animals and yours will be happy and comfortable! My seven babies are comfortable with other cats and are for the most part comfortable with dogs. My two cats, Nala and Val, are quite skittish but arrangements can be made so that they aren’t around dogs if need be. I have a spare bedroom that is mostly for the cats with litter boxes and toys set up, but that room can be used for boarding or just to give our animals a bit of time to get used to each other! If you have a dog who likes to run around outside, accommodations can definitely be made for that as well! My yard is not fenced in, but it’s spacious enough that I can run around with your pup! Truly, whatever accommodations you need, I am happy to help.
