Dog Boarding in Bliss, NY

“Our fuzzy boys had a great time. Chelsea & Derek were great with communications and sent us some great pictures during their stay. This was our first time using anyone but family to watch our dogs and we'll definitely be back.”

Lisa W.

“Kelly was great with our dog Bear! She was communicative throughout the whole process and put our minds at ease while we were away by sending pictures and video. Her dog was an added bonus since Bear doesn’t get too much exposure to friends. Would book again in a heartbeat!”

“Jessie has been so wonderful. I am a first time dog mom leaving my boy with a stranger for the first time. He dealt with my daily messages and made me feel so much more comfortable to be able to just enjoy my vacation! I would recommend Jessie to anyone and everyone. I’m fact I already have :)”

Leeann K.

“Lindsey did a fantastic job watching our goldendoodle. He loved the long daily walks and play time with her cute dog, and I enjoyed the daily updates and pictures. Vacations are much more relaxing when you know your dog is also having a great time. Looking forward to another booking, thanks Lindsey!”

Sarah H.

“We were very pleased with Joan and Timothy. They sent a picture or video each day that our dog Daisy was with them. She was taken on many walks and they enjoyed time together like hanging out in the garage watching the outside. We would definitely use them again in the future.”

Tami G.

“Mickey was great. She made Beasley feel very comfortable and treated him like one of the family. She even bought him a sweater that she let us keep while we were gone because it got very cold out. He not only loved her but he also made a couple new friends at her house. Sunny and Sylvester were great companions for him during his stay. We will definitely be calling Mickey for future travels when Beasley needs a place to stay.”

Christin W.

“It was so reassuring knowing that Josh & Kelly were taking great care of our pup while we were on vacation. They, along with their children were so caring and loving to Gus. We received pictures and updates every day too. He couldn’t have been in better hands, and we will definitely be contacting them again to watch him.”

Cheryl B.

“Abigail was absolutely amazing taking care of my cat. She sent pictures everyday along with updates, and it was clear she showered him with all the attention he wanted! I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker for my cat and I highly recommend her.”

Anna N.

“Michelle was awesome! Our dog Mabel loved her stay and Michelle kept us up to speed with pictures and videos documenting the week. Would definitely book again.”

Joseph G.

“Kona had a great stay at Shannon and David’s! They were welcoming and warm which made Kona very comfortable. Pictures were so cute. He loved the long walks too! We were able to have a great weekend in Ellicottville with no worries. I highly recommend them and would absolutely have Kona stay on our next visit!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.

“I am so excited that I found someone who will luv and take care of my fur babies like I would. This was the first time I left my babies with a sitter. Katie assured me they would be ok and for me to go enjoy myself on my little getaway! I am happy that I did! I luv how Katie made communication during their stay. I could see that my fur babies were well taken care of and was enjoying their stay. The walks, playtime, and other activities. Thank you Katie! You Rock!!!!!”

“Sofia was AMAZING!! My boys had a blast and she always kept us updated with pictures. We will 100% be using her again in the future for our boarding needs!”

Matt T.

“Alyssa did an amazing job watching our 2 doodles. They were in great care, and they loved being there for the night. She was super responsive and was willing to watch them on short notice. Totally recommend her!”

Douglas Y.

“Brianna was wonderful! Would highly recommend! Our little dog Lily loved her! Brianna sent pictures and texts of what Lily was doing throughout the day. She was very friendly and very easy to work with! Thank you Brianna for taking such good care of our Lily!”

About: I have had dogs of every shape, size and disposition for 50 years. I have been fostering rescue dogs for 20 years. I don’t think I will ever not have a dog in my life. I am retired so home pretty much 24/7. I have 2 dogs of my own so am available anytime. I enjoy gardening so prefer to be home. I have a fenced yard with doggie door. I walk the dogs beside giving them free rein in house and yard. I have numerous doggie beds for their comfort along with furniture to sleep on!

“Our dog was right at home with Mary and her family the week that we were away. Mary went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, exercised, and happy all week. We are so grateful!”

Kelsey S.

“Georgia and her husband were amazing! They treated Olivia like a member of their family. They sent daily photos, worked on training, went for multiple walks, and played with her all the time. I will certainly use Georgia next time I need to leave my puppy at home! Thanks so much!! 🐶❤️”

About: UPDATE: looking for new clients in our neighborhood in Holland! About me: I grew up always with dogs and cats. I currently have cats and a german shepherd dog! While in high school I attended a small animal science program for 2 years and we had our own grooming business running for dogs. In the program I worked with the smallest dogs to the largest canines; walked them, bathed them and groomed them. I love walking dogs and will make sure your dog gets a great walk. This is a full time job for me as it brings me immense happiness! I also have experience with most small animals including rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas, hamsters, bearded dragons, rats, gerbils and mice from my time in small animal science in school. I also have comfortablilty with farm animals as well as I've watched a few flocks of chickens. I'm positive, honest and hardworking; your furbabies will always be my biggest priority while they're with me! Currently I'm taking as many clients as I can comfortably fit into my schedule. Please feel free to chat with me about your furbabies needs! I can easily handle anything your furbaby throws at me as well as you furparent! Give me as clear as instructions as possible and watch them thoroughly get followed; I honestly thrive on instructions! Expect questions from me!! At the moment I am limiting how many clients I can take at once. Always reach out and ask; I always try to response as soon as I can! I don't currently have the ability to have clients in my home but I absolutely love taking care of them in their homes. I'm extremely professional and cautious; I do everything possible to keep your pet and property safe. I take the time very seriously so the clock starts the moment I have the animal and I sprinkle love into every free moment.

About: I have had my own pets since I was 18yrs old. Large ones, small one all different personalities. For some reason animals love me as much as I love them. I enjoy forming that bond with them. I will treat your animals as if they are my own. I will respect you home as I expect mine too be treated. I used Rover in my home before I decided I wanted to take care of others animals. I expected no one to touch anything of mine unless it pertained to the animals. I currently work a fairly flexible job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I have two of my own dogs so house sitting needs to be flexible I have a fairly large sized yard that your pups can run in. My two fur babies are very friendly and will gladly keep your pups company
