Dog Boarding Gowanda

“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!”

“Dana and Jeremy were great! They are so good to my dog and he loves them. He gets excited when we pull in their driveway. I feel relaxed because I know he is in good hands!”

Krista S.

“Derek & Chelsea are warm, kind & attentive to our dog Widgit, who loves going there and running around in a big fenced in yard w/the other dogs!”

“Erika went above and beyond to accommodate us at short notice, then we were delayed at the border so arrived late, she was great to deal with and Reggie had a wonderful time, one tired and happy little dog! Thanks Erika”

“Jenn took care of my 9 yr. old chihuahua Saturday-Sunday. We did a meet and greet at Jenn’s house the Wednesday before. I liked her right away and I could tell she loves animals. This is the first time leaving my pup overnight at someone else’s house. Jenn did an awesome job of taking care of Mia! She also sent me updates of photos and texts. I will definitely be using her again. I highly recommend her!”

“I can't say enough about Rory D. Her home was clean, neat, and very organized. She had a separate "bedroom" where Gigi would spend the night and relax when other pets were in the house. During her stay Rory gave Gigi the opportunity to meet and forge a friendship with another cat. I was so pleased! Rory followed all care requests. Rory sent pictures and videos of Gigi throughout her stay. Gigi appeared very content and happy. Gigi was well cared for and healthy when I picked her up at the end of her stay. Without any reservation I recommend Rory for pet sitting. She did an excellent job. I will definitely rebook with Rory D. the next time I need pet sitting services.”

“Rizzo had a better vacation than we did staying with Lindsey! She had so much fun playing at the farm running around with Genny and getting lots of exercise! Lindsey provided daily updates with photo’s throughout the week showing how much fun they were having. Rizzo can’t wait for her next vacation with Lindsey and her family!”

“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”

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.

“Nancy consistently hosts a warm, responsible, and organized dog palace! My dog loved his stay, the other dogs, and his two new favorite humans!”

“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”

“Karen and her husband were so hospitable and kind! They loved my dog as their own ❤️ They walked him, fed him, played with him and took plenty of photos for me! My dog is very expressive and we could really tell he was SO happy there- when we picked him up, it was so clear he LOOOVED them. They were so, so sweet when we picked him up/dropped him off and made both me and my husband feel so comfortable & safe leaving our baby with them.”

Hannah C.

“Katie was an excellent sitter for our dog Louie, while we were on a long vacation! This is the first time using Rover, as well as having someone outside of our family, watching our pet and it was an excellent experience! She sent daily updates and pictures which helped in dealing with the separation anxiety! Recommend highly and will use again!”

John M.

“Jin, was very friendly and very communicative. She treated my baby girl like her own. She took my booking at the last minute, I thank her for that. Highly recommended!”

Simone W.

“It was pretty daunting leaving my dogs with someone I had never met. My Boxer has separation anxiety so bad she got severe colitis last time I had to travel, so I knew a kennel setting would not be good for her. Getting pictures of the dogs completely relaxed and comfortable put my fears at rest almost immediately! Katie took excellent care of the dogs and took care on my worries as well! I would recommend her without hesitation :)”

Staci S.

“Logan was our first Rover sitter and we couldn’t be more pleased. Logan took the time to really get to know our Bassett, Ollie, asking many questions to ensure Ollie was comfortable right away. Once Ollie settled in, Logan sent photos, video, and communicated very well. We happily encourage anyone to reach out to Logan should you need someone to hang out with your pup.”

“Leah took such a great care of our Jack and stayed in communication. She welcomed our pup into her family and we look forward to her caring for Jack again.”

About: Growing up we always had multiple pets and u currently own a feline best friend named Carlos! I am more than comfortable performing any sort of dog care! I work as an electrician during the day so I am available any time outside of 7am-3pm Monday through Friday. If the dog can make it through the work day, I am the perfect fit! I am happy to accommodate any sort of service for your dog. Just give me the details upon booking and I will ensure your animals are cared for!

“Jessica was amazing with caring for our Bailey! She is kind, reliable and a true dog lover. She follows all care instructions and keeps in communication with pictures and updates. We would book with her again without reservation.”

Steve M.

“As always Alena went above and beyond in her care for my fur baby Champ. My baby had an accident just a few days before I was set to travel for a wedding, Alena was willing and able to care for champ and administer his medications and watch over him. She kept me up to date with photos and health updates and made it so I didn’t have to worry or stress about him. I knew with her he’d be in good hands, and my pup was so excited to see her again. Thank you Alena for taking care of my fur baby!”
