“Jason was the perfect choice! Affordable, sweet, and fantastic with my Tunni! He was the only sitter who accepted my last minute Easter weekend booking and was so flexible when I requested pickup/drop-off changes. He's very personable and professional, and Tunni took to him and his pups (especially sweet Sunny) right away! It was a great play date for her and I'll absolutely hire him again in the future! He's worth the 45 minute drive! Thanks so much, Jason! :)”


“Kristen was so wonderful to our 14-year old Yorkie. She treated him as her own and he got to spend time running with her fur babies. Tripper was loving all the space to run and explore. We were traveling from out of town and I was so nervous to leave him but she was so reassuring, kind, considerate and sent pics all weekend which allowed us to enjoy watching our son play in Cooperstown knowing out Tripper was in the best hands. Highly recommend her and Mark.”


“We left our dog with Brittany while we went on vacation. She was very sweet and responsive and sent pictures while we were away! Definitely made me feel better about having to leave our dog behind.”


“Jenny is super easy to communicate with and flexible! She’s very friendly and I felt my dog was very safe with her. We actually needed to cancel our booking so Daisy only spent a few hours with her but she had already sent us a photo! I will definitely be booking with Jenny in the future.”



“This lady and her husband are the best kept secret of Rover! My dog has typically refused to eat for the first day or two of boarding, but with Sue, she ate the first night, her tail was high and wagging! She was a happy little camper. I would recommend Sue, without any reservations. She truly cares for her boarded dogs- they do know who loves them. She will always be our first choice!!”


“Nicole was a lifesaver! After getting over booked at a kennel during Cooperstown Baseball season, she came to my rescue. Great communication, flexible, easy to work with, updated me with pictures and she even trimmed my puppy nails. Highly recommend her.”



“Melissa took such great care of our Pax! She was very responsive and sent pics of him to keep us updated, and he looked like he had so much fun playing outside with the other dogs. He seemed very relaxed and happy when we picked him up, so I know he had a great stay and was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Melissa!”


About: My name is Heidi and I have loved working with animals my entire life! I went to school for veterinary science but, unfortunately, I dont have the stomach for it. I grew up with rotties, a Shepard and I currently have a Yorkshire terrier so I'm comfortable with pups of all ages and sizes. I also have always had cats so I'm more than comfortable with them as well. Building up trust and relationship with the animals I work with is one of the best feelings in the world. I do work Monday through Friday but have flexible hours and can always make time to stop in at least 3 times a day. I'm more than willing to come to a meet up before the sit date to make sure all connections are good! I do work Monday through Friday until 4pm, but I work from home and can work anywhere with internet access if you're comfortable with me working during a stay! Please tell me any guidless, rules or typical schedules for your pet so I can keep things as comfortable as possible for them. Routines are respected as much as possible.

“Steve was able to dog sit my puggle Chomps on such short notice. This was my first time leaving my dog with someone other than family and I was hesitant in using a dog sitting service. Upon meeting Steve I felt comfortable in leaving Chomps with him. Steve sent me pictures of Chomps during his stay. He was also extremely accomodating, as we were returning from our trip a little later than anticipated. When we arrived to pick him up, Chomps did not even want to get into the car to leave. Chomps and I both give Steve two paws up!! I would highly recommend Steve and would absolutely request his services again in the future. ??”
