Doggy Day Care in Cragsmoor

“This was my first time leaving my dog for boarding and using the Rover app.Jonathon went above and beyond to take care of my dog I even ran out of food and he offered to run to the store to grab some more. Throughout the stay he updated me and sent pictures easing some of my anxiety. I now know I have someone that I can rely on and my dog will be taking good care of and I will be using.Jonathon for my future boarding needs! I’ve also recommended him to my friends as well.”

About: I’m a mommy of two furbabies, Freya and Medea, the chihuahua sis. My husband and I are both animal lovers and have own dogs our whole life and we are excited to offer a safe and caring experience for your furbaby when needed! Note: Freya and Medea dislike cats, therefore, we are unable to take any cat guests. I do apologize for this inconvenience. I’m currently working on a hybrid schedule where I work from home most of the times so your furbaby will hardly be left alone. If I have to go into the office, it would be no more than 4 hours (once or twice a week at most). If guest pet ever need to be left alone, you will be notified ahead of time and our furbabies will be separated in a different room. We have a ginormous fenced in backyard that your furbaby can roam around throughout the day with our two 10-yo laid back-couch potatoes chihuahua sisters, Freya and Medea. I’m a helicopter dog mom so rest assured no pups will be left outside with no supervision. Pups are allowed on furnitures, welcomed to sleep with us, and will never be crated (unless instructed otherwise). We are homebodies and have plenty of time to entertain and love on your furbaby! Please feel free to reach out to inquire for our availability! We strive to provide the best care for our fur-guests. Spending time away from human-parents and being in a stranger home can be a stressful time, we will do our best to make them feel like a part of our pack. To provide the safest stay, we only take in fur-guests from the same family at a given time.

“Karina took wonderful care of my pup while I attended a show in the area. She was very easy to get in touch with, super communicative throughout, and most importantly very gentle and patient with my young dog. Your dog is in great hands with her!”

About: When I was 8 years old, I started an animal sitting business in my neighborhood. By the time I was 10, I had over 50 clients, with animals ranging from bird to dog, cat to guinea pig, wild outdoor foxes to indoor sugar gliders. I learned a lot in the ten years that I had these clients (by the time I graduated from high school, I had over 200!), but the number one thing I learned is that every animal is different. Even if they are the same breed, each animal has different motivations, different needs. I started working as a dog trainer, specifically for behavioral issues, in my early 20s. I have a special place in my heart for dogs that need some paw holding, structure, and reassurance. That's actually why I took my most recent dog, Poppy. No one else would have wanted her, and the pound that I pulled her from had already shaved her leg to euthanize her that very hour. It took me years to get her to be the amazing, confident, and loving dog she became. And it was well worth it! I've been out of the game for a while, as Poppy was a bit grumpy with strange dogs in her elder years, minus a few select clients. I have volunteered at Pets Alive in Middletown as well as some local rescues to offset my guilt of not fostering, but now that I have an empty house I am ready to open my home and heart once again! We have no children, no pets, a fenced in yard, and a safe space for any type of animal that needs care. Mammal, reptile, rodent- whatever you need, I can help!! Both adults currently working from home, so there is rarely a time that there is no one in the house. We have a great quiet neighborhood for walking, plus a fenced in yard for extra potty breaks and play time. I believe that every animal has their own needs, and every pet parent has their own rules. For instance, I am fine with dogs on the couch, but if you do not allow it I will not either. I will outline my usual day for the client, and we can add or subtract anything that’s needed for the client. I have puzzles, toys, lots of comfy blankets and dog beds. I’m happy to work on any training that they may need- and at the end of the day, I’m here to provide a service. I will always treat the pets in my home as my own, and will treat them with respect and love.

About: I've been taking care of pets for over 40 years. I grew up with a small Beagle mix + Dalmation, and most recently a large Chesapeake Bay Retriever who lived well into his teens. I've also cared for cats + birds. I live on a beautiful lakefront property with a big yard which is a great spot for water dogs. I'm very active and love to take dogs on long walks. No other pets in my home. Experience administering medicine and caring for both puppies and senior dogs. I work part-time in home healthcare. I am primarily at home during the day and occasionally leave for an hour or two. Can provide very frequent walks and potty breaks. I cater my care to each individual pet, while always providing focus and nurturing. I live on a beautiful lakefront property with a big yard which is a great spot for water dogs.

“We are very happy with Courtney’s dog sitting. Our puppies loved their stay. We were very impressed with her facilities it was great!! We look forward to having her dog sit and kennel our puppies again .”

About: I grew up with German shepherds and corgis in Vermont as well as horses. I love dogs and cats alike and have spent many years training dogs. I am fortunate enough to have a place in the city and plenty of available time to walk your furry friends as well as a house upstate in the countryside to take them for a nice getaway where they can enjoy space to run around and hike and play in the snow. I am currently helping my girlfriend to build her Pie business in Sunnyside. Saturdays and Sundays are usually occupied by the pie business although Monday through Friday I have an open availability. I treat your pets the way I treat my own pets. With love and care. Treating them like family and making sure that they are happy and cared for and nurtured.

“So friendly and Chewie had a wonderful time!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets and have had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with my Yorkie, who sadly passed away this year at 13 years old, and being a dog mom taught me just how important it is to know your pet is in loving, capable hands. I’m very patient, attentive, and caring with all furry friends. I’m able to provide daily care tailored to your pet’s needs, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and am comfortable administering medication when needed. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family, primarily small breeds but occasionally larger dogs as well. I can assist with baths, maintain routines, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I currently have one fur baby of my own — my cat, Woody — and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m always happy to set up a meet and greet, either in person or via video call, and I welcome any questions you may have. I also live in a home with a decently sized backyard where dogs have access to safely play, run, and get their zoomies out. I will love and care for your fur baby as if they were my own. I'm currently a full time stay at home mom so I'm always free. I spend my day walking my god dog and caring for my child. I'm able to balance it very well as my child is very mobile and I do tend to my animals while she is playing and napping. I live in a cozy home with a dedicated room where your dog can sleep comfortably—especially if they have a crate. If your pup prefers a bed, they’ll be able to relax in the living room where they can feel right at home. I also have a backyard where they can run, play, and enjoy some fresh air throughout the day. Your furry friend will have a safe, loving space to rest, play, and feel like part of the family while you’re away.

“I was very nervous to let my greyhound have his first ever doggy day care day. After speaking with Paul prior to the stay, my mind was put at total ease. When we arrived Paul had a great setup for watching over my hound including a gated courtyard. He took the time to answer all of my questions and allow my hound to settle in, which he did quickly by exploring Paul's home. I used Paul's services for 2 days in a row while vacationing in P'town. On the second day my hound was actually excited to see Paul again, that says volumes to me!!! You can tell that Paul is a true animal lover and responsible sitter. I highly recommend using Paul as a sitter and will definitely contact him again in the future.”

“Our casper felt comfortable with her instantly and kept us updated on him for the day we were out and even tried to go back with her for a second which confirmed he enjoyed her.”
