Doggy Day Care Hemlock

“Fiona had her first day at Garrisons doggy daycare and she came back tired and happy! My pup is very nervous of new things at first and Garrison took time to let Fiona warm up and get comfortable instead of just throwing her into the mix of things which can be overwhelming. I received updates from garrison and pictures and videos. We will definitely be a repeat client! Thanks so much Garrison!”

About: I have always had dogs and cats as a part of my family and I also spent a lot of time cat sitting for friends and family. My family fostered puppies and dogs for several years through a local organization! I am in school studying animal behavior and have done an internship at a cat shelter giving enrichment and behavior training to the particularly shy cats. I work part time, only 3-5 hours a day at a shop a few minutes from my house. Other than work and quick errands from time to time I’m home full time otherwise! I have a huge backyard that is not fenced in, however your pet would have full on leash supervised access to the yard! I have an older cat who gets along very well with other animals.

“Calli was great with our dog, we dropped her off for just 6 or so hours and Calli was warm & welcoming to our slightly anxious dog. Would definitely recommend her service and will use again in the future if we ever are in the area again!”

About: Our family loves animals. It’s evident when you drive up to our house and see the goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. We have lots of experience with lots of animals, at all stages of life and with administering medications. Now that the kids are all in school. I have extra time to spend with my 4 legged babies and yours. We enjoy hiking, long and/or short walks around Canandaigua. I am a responsible and respectful professional. I will take care of your pet and home as if it were my own. I want to earn your trust and loyalty.

“Kate gave excellent care to my two dogs for two days and was super friendly, communicative and responsive. My dogs loved the fenced backyard and were very relaxed when I dropped them off and very chill when I picked them up, so they were obviously happy to be with Kate and family. I highly recommend Kate for dog-care in the Canandaigua area!”

About: Hi there! I would love to provide a clean and home-like environment for your pets. I have over 25 years of caring for all types of animals. Available for boarding dogs and cats, house sitting(I’m unable to accommodate staying overnights), and drop-ins! Your pets will feel right at home in my care with all the attention and love they deserve! I am super fun to be around and I'm very active so your pet won't be bored or ever feel alone. I live on an acre with lots of open space for walks and playtime. I am currently not working so my schedule is very flexible. Pet care is built into my daily routine—it’s a priority, not a task. From morning walks to evening feedings and playtime, I schedule my day around each pet’s individual needs to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether in my home or a client’s, I provide consistent, personalized care. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed—while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free. My goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as they do with their own family.

“I was doing a 10 mile hike at Letchworth which is too long for my puppy to hike. Emma lives very close to the hiking trailhead so dropping off my dog was very convenient. Emma and her pup were wonderful hosts. My dog seemed very happy to be there for doggy daycare. Great value for the price. I will definitely book again.”

About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve trained hunting dogs and worked with service dogs, so I’m comfortable handling everything from high-energy working breeds to senior dogs that need a little extra care. I am CPR trained and take safety very seriously. My property offers 45 acres of space for exercise, fresh air, and supervised play. I treat every dog like part of the family and make sure their routine, feeding schedule, and comfort needs are followed closely. Whether your dog needs structure, activity, or just a safe and relaxing place to stay, they will receive dependable, attentive care while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I am home frequently and structure my day around feeding, exercise, to ensure dogs receive consistent attention and care. With plenty of outdoor space and a flexible schedule, I can provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and personalized care throughout the day. I also limit bookings so each dog gets the time and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and supervised environment on 45 acres of property with plenty of room for exercise and fresh air. Dogs are always monitored during outdoor time, and I follow each pet’s normal feeding and care routine closely. I am experienced with all breeds, including high-energy and working dogs, and I am CPR trained. If needed, I can separate dogs, provide quiet rest areas, according to the owner’s preferences to ensure every dog feels safe and secure.

“This was my first time booking and it couldn’t have been better. Kerrie was super patient and helpful as I navigated through everything, answering every question promptly. She was extremely accommodating as we pushed back our arrival time since we didn’t get into town until after midnight while also allowing us to do a later pickup so we could see everything we wanted to see. She was also kind in sending us a picture of our dog during the day. Kerrie, Thank you so much!”

“Haley and Amanda were great daycare hosts for our dog Jager! We booked a VERY last minute daycare with them and they were exceptional. Pickup and drop off were seamless, there was active communication throughout the day and photos of Jager playing with their dogs. 10/10 experience and I would absolutely book with her again. :)”

“Kanzi had a great and much-needed play date with her buddy Kenzi!”

“I can’t thank Dianna enough for the care and love she showed my 16 year old labradoodle and 2 year old standard poodle. She sent regular updates and fantastic photos and was obviously a very caring dog mom! Very pleased with the care my dogs received at her home and would highly recommend!”

“Gigi was great with Marshall! Their home is very welcoming and prepared to keep the dogs happy and safe. Great back yard too! Marshall enjoyed playing with their two King Charles’”

“Kiara is AMAZING!! I wish I could move her to LA with me. The best dog sitter I’ve had on rover and I use rover very often. As a helicopter dog mom, I would absolutely recommend Kiara to everyone! It was the best experience! Thank you Kiara!”

“Another great stay!! Jeffery takes excellent care of my dogs. Sullivan was spoiled all day long, the pictures I received were proof. Jeffery knows how hard it can be to leave your babies, He is very reassuring and sends updates and pictures to increase your comfort.”

About: Our pets are family, and it can be scary sometimes when you don't know who is caring for them while you're gone. Under my care, I treat every fur baby like they were my fur baby. I grew up living with dogs, a Bichon Frise and a Pit Bull, which taught me how to communicate and care for dogs of all sizes and dogs breeds with separation anxiety. I'm pretty active and am currently training for the NYC 2022 Marathon, so I love to run/walk with my dog Casper. About a year ago, Casper and I moved in with my partner Victor and his 2 cats, Jewel & Scarlett, in Rushville, New York. Initially, we were nervous about introducing them so we started slow by keeping them in separate rooms with a gate. Once they became more comfortable and curious about each other (more on the cats end), we took the gate down after a couple days. It was a seamless living transition if there ever was one. Now all 3 love hanging out on the play mat together with their toys or taking naps nearby each other. We're looking for more furry friends to keep them company and to nap together! Our house is quite spacious with a large open living and family room for lots of play time and nap time. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for dogs and cats. Our house has a huge front & backyard (not fenced) to run around on leash. When it snows, we love making dog trails around our property because what dog doesn't love to run in the snow! And I'm very experienced in putting on dog boots if needed. Lastly, we are a 15-20 minute walk to Canandaigua Lake, and live 3 minutes from Bare Hill. Currently, Victor and I are started a small business that will be launching this Spring. We work from home Monday-Friday and make our own hours so we are flexible. And I'm available on the weekends and any last minute bookings. Before any booking, I would like to set up a Meet & Greet to learn what I need to best care for your fur baby(ies) and to make sure Casper and your dog(s) get along (Doggy Day Care). The dates I'm currently unavailable are July 8-24, 2022 and Sept 1-5, 2022. My Home: spacious living and family rooms for dogs to run around, a play mat area with toys, and plenty of space to bring your dog's bed so he/she feels comfortable and at home. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for both dogs and cats. Outside, we have a huge front and backyard, although it is not fenced, still a lot of space to run around on leash. And if your dog loves to run, he/she is welcomed to join our running pack. We're a 15-20 min walk to Canandaigua Lake, and a 3 minute drive to Bare Hill Unique Area. Your Home: I will request a Meet & Greet before booking, and would like to do an initial house visit to learn where the pet food, toys and cleaning supplies are located. Along with learning if your pet has any special needs like medication. I will be a respectful guest in your home and make sure your fur baby(ies) are loved and cared for while you are away.

“Alex and Bayern were both amazing hosts. We were in town for a wedding and didn’t want to leave Ziggy by himself. They took really great care of Ziggy and made him (and us) feel at home. We would highly recommend them and we’ll always return to them whenever we’re back in town. Thank you being such amazing hosts and taking care of Ziggy!”

“Jodi, was great with our boxer Elsie. She clearly loves the fur babies that she gets to take care of. Elsie was with Jodi for daycare for 5 days. She was always happy to jump out of the car and run up the driveway to great Jodi at the door. She was very accommodating with our time schedule. Elsie had lots of play time and enjoyed her afternoon naps on the comfy sofas. We would definitely recommend Jodi to care for your pets.”

“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”
