“Anastasia was wonderful. Her facility is perfect for dogs of all sizes. One of our dogs is very anxious and she did everything to keep her happy and calm. She relieved so much of our anxiety w her expertise is more restless and anxious dogs. She sent us videos and pics and kept us updated. We are so grateful for her and highly recommend!”
“Sadie was absolutely wonderful. I was very nervous leaving my pup August and she was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and August came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Sadie to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter for their fur baby.”
“Inge was wonderful with Lucy and I will definitely be booking her again when we are in the area! She took great care of her and was communicative letting me know how she was and sending photos. Her home was lovely and she had cozy blankets and pillows for Lucy’s comfort. Thanks so much Inge!”
“Laura and Tyler were great with my dog! He has pretty bad separation anxiety which makes it very difficult to leave him new places. Laura was awesome about introducing her dogs one by one and letting him get accustomed to her dogs and her home. She tried different areas to see where he would be most comfortable and really put time and effort into getting him to relax and be comfortable. She kept me up to date and make me feel a lot better about where he was and how he was doing. I would definitely use them again when we're in the Adirondacks!”
“We had a great experience with Desiree. Our husky Kona stayed with her for a couple days and was absolutely exhausted from all the fun! Desiree sent us daily photos of our dog and was very flexible with our pickup/ drop off timing.”
“Hope is excellent and our first experience on Rover, she exceeded our expectations and gave our dog a loving and caring experience. Our dog stayed with her overnight the week after Christmas. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. I made a last minute request for care and Hope made the entire process simple. We were from out of town skiing at a nearby resort. Hope was generous with her time and care for our treasured Potato. We will use Hope again when we return for another ski week. I was very happy with our experience and our dog Potato had a great time playing at Hope’s house. We were lucky to find her!”
“My bluetick coonhound Perci stayed with Andrea while I was with friends for the week at lake George. Unfortunately there were no dogs allowed. Perci loved Andrea. I knew he was in good hands when I took him out for a day hike to Buck Mountain and Andrea came to get him at our rental. He greeted her as he greets people he loves. He jumped on her and then happily into her car. He didn’t even turn around to me to say goodbye.”
“Carolyn was great! My dog seemed to have a great time and enjoyed her sweet pup! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Carolyn sent pictures to keep us at ease as it was Paddington's first time with her. I would definitely recommend!!”
“Tara R. was very easy to deal with to setup the booking and provided great communication including photos to throughout our dogs stay. We will definitely plan to use Tara on our next trip to Vermont.”
“Laura has a beautiful property and did a wonderful job taking care of our small dog. We loved how responsive to messages she was and all the pictures she sent. We felt very at ease with our dog in her care.”
“John and his family were so nice, and very accommodating with less than a week's notice. My senior dog Chip seemed to feel right at home with them, and came home tired and happy so he clearly got lots of playtime and attention. I will absolutely reach out to John again if I'm in need of someone to watch my pup.”
“It’s always tough to leave our dog at a new place with a new person, but Alyssa made it easy and comforting :). Appreciated the check-ins and pictures too! Thank you for looking after Juno and she looks forward to seeing you again!”
“Shari and Connie were fantastic! Definitely recommend them. My 1yr old dog Olivia had a terrific time - they took her on great walks and gave her loads of attention, plus have a fabulous yard and great home that she felt very comfortable in. They also sent me regular updates, which I really appreciated. I think so highly of them that I’ve already booked another stint for Olivia in a few weeks!”
About: I grew up on a ranch in Vail Arizona and I have extensive experience in caring for animals of all breeds and species! I have two cats and two rescue dogs (chihuahua and border collie) along with one snake and a bearded dragon. I understand that our pets are our family—often feeling like our own children—and I carry this sentiment with me when I care for other’s pets as well. I’m a part-time substitute teacher (I used to teach English in New Orleans before taking a break!) and I have a flexible schedule with summers and holidays off. I have a fenced yard and I welcome pets who get along with cats into my home. My two dogs can stay with my sister (who is a vet tech and only a call away) if there’s ever an issue with dogs who may not like to share space with other dogs. When caring for a pet in your home I appreciate detailed information and I will never hesitate to reach out if I am curious or confused. If ever an emergency occurs and I cannot get ahold of you my judgment as both a mother, an educator and a pet owner will dictate my actions.
