Dog Boarding in Hamlet, NY

“Logan was communicative, accommodating, and professional. He went out of his way to help me when plans changed and was flexible with his process because of my situation (I was from out of town and traveling through). My dog was well taken care of.”

“Really happy to find Tammy. Our dog, Hank, loved his stay with her and her dogs. She has a big fenced in backyard and a comfortable house with a lot of toys for the dogs. We will use her again. She is a 30 minute drive from CHQ and well worth it given the care that she provides.”

“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.”

“Alli was a big help with Zoey! She made her feel right at home with her time, care and attention :) We had great communication and she was very flexible when we made a few changes due to our travel plans.”

“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!”

“I am great full to Dana and Jeremy for taking such good care of Samantha. I loved the daily updates and photos of Samantha. They reassured me that she was happy and that I could relax and enjoy my vacation. I will definitely use Rover again.”

Catherine M.

“Alina was SO great with our Henry. Her kids were inquisitive, adorable and kept Henry entertained all weekend long. Alina sent photos, videos and updates on how he was doing which kept my mind at ease. Would 100% recommend Alina. I can tell Henry loved being with them. They have a large backyard which is fenced in- which was ideal. We are so glad we found her and her family.”

“Our two very busy dogs recently spent four nights in the care of Jennifer and her whole family while we were spending the Thanksgiving holiday at a nearby Airbnb that did not allow dogs. It could not have gone any better. The dogs were warmly welcomed and got lots of attention. It felt like we were dropping them off at summer camp. They even got to try herding goats for the first time! Both of Jennifer’s dogs seemed to do very well with ours. We got plenty of updates throughout the visit. We hope to be able to bring our dogs to Jennifer again next year.”

“Best sitter and family ever. Our 2 Frenchies had a blast on thier 3 day vacation. They were treated like royalty and are now passed out at home. 100% recommend.”

“Our little guy, Chase, stayed with Rachel for a week. Chase was so well taken care of & when we went to get him, I think he thought he’d been adopted by Rachel! He loved it at her house! We will definitely be using Rachel again to dog sit Chase. She is a dog lover & we have every confidence in using her to care for Chase again. Thank you Rachel.”

Billie H.

“Danielle was so good to our anxious boy! We are so grateful for the extra care and updates through his stay. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

Erin F.

“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 :)”

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.

“My family had a critical medical emergency two days before a long-awaited college reunion, so no one could watch my beloved 12-year old Shih Tzu, Brady, at the last moment. I was desperate to find a sitter for my little dog and decided to try Rover.com, and Katy said she was available. Best decision I have made in years. Katy was loving and so conscientious that I never worried for the entire four days. Her house was lovely, and she cared for Brady like her own much-loved family pet. I cannot express the joy and relief this incredibly kind woman gave me during our trip to West Point. I highly recommend Rover.com and Katy.”

“My Golden, Richard, had a lovely time with Karen and her husband! I was very comfortable leaving him with her. I loved all the pictures and videos along with the comforting text messages. They loved on my puppers so much his Golden hair will surely be around forever! I highly recommend the services Karen has to offer! 5 star all the way!”

About: Hi there, I’m Maddie! I grew up with animals and now have two dogs of my own. I volunteer once a week at my local humane society and have had experience fostering. I understand the need to know that your animal is receiving the best care possible! It’s my goal and mission to treat your pet as I would my own and provide them with the best care possible! Dogs and cats are our loyal companions. They deserve the best that we can provide them with. My schedule is very flexible. I work remotely full time and have control over my schedule during the weekday and weekends. I bring my dogs to work with me when I have to work in the office. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs are able to play in. I have baby gates in the house that can keep pets within a safe boundary. I’m cautious of doors to ensure that pets don’t escape. I’m constantly reading and watching for body language that communicates to me whether your pet is happy, stressed, etc.

“Melissa is a true saint! My family was on a 2.5 week road trip with our 11 month old Akita puppy, Frida, when we decided to make a stop a the Great Blue Heron festival in Sherman, NY. Being on the road and leaving our puppy with a stranger seemed intimidating, especially considering her shy nature, but Melissa was great! Frida was very reserved with Melissa at first, but eventually warmed up. Melissa sent pictures and videos that showed she was having a great time. She went above and beyond to make sure Frida had access to activities that she enjoyed and even set up play dates with other young dogs. I am so so grateful we found Melissa and we were able to leave our pup with someone who put so much love and care into her time with Frida.”

About: I have taken care of all types of animals since a very young age. We one two turtles one bearded dragon and a puppy. We love animals in our home. They are what make a home complete. I am a stay home mom that has all the time to care for pets I really enjoy the company. I have a very open schedule. I have a fenced yard and many years of experience of animal care. I am responsible and caring and love to help out in times of need. I understand how scary it is to entrust your family with a stranger.

“Rylee is wonderful. She took great care of Kiko and sent me updates very often. She was also very receptive to my instructions and advice for taking care of him. Kiko got to play with her other dogs, enjoy the big fenced in yard, go for rides in the car and enjoy some pup cups. Rylee really treated Kiko as one of her own. I will absolutely seek her out again should I need someone to care for Kiko in the future.”

“Nancy sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my dogs were doing! They seemed like they had a good time and were treated like family.”
