Pet Boarding Lake Peekskill

About: Hi My name is Stacy, I live in Cortlandt Manor, NY and have been keeping tails wagging and paws prancing for over 23 years in Westchester, NY. I provide pet sitting services in Cortlandt Manor, Peekskill, Mohegan Lake, Croton, Yorktown, Putnum, Montrose Jefferson Valley, and Briarcliff. I can accommodate drop-in visits for dog walks and feedings and love doing drop-in visits for cats to ensure they get enough playtime and attention. I am available for the summer and upcoming holidays for 2026. I am also accepting boarding for small to medium-size dogs. NOTE: I board one pet at a time to ensure they get my 100% attention and love. I am certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I have experience sitting for large dogs, small dogs, puppies, older dogs and lots of cats. I am also very comfortable giving pills to dogs and some shots for diabetic cats. As an experienced pet sitter, my priority for every pet is to make sure they are safe and totally pampered. I take great pride in sending adorable pictures and notes to clients to ensure they have real time updates to see their pets are happy and comfortable with me. Pet owners can feel relaxed knowing their pet is in great care while they are away. If you would like to set up a free meet and greet, please contact me. I am available for meet and greets during weekdays after 4:00 pm and I am very flexible on weekends. I work remotely now and I am available for boarding during the week and weekends and can do drop in walks and visits both during the week and on weekends I require at least 72hrs notice for boarding. I only take in one pet at a time, so I can ensure they get my full attention and can feel comfortable and pampered in my home. I will walk dogs three times a day if needed and try to keep to their regular routines.

About: Looking for more than just a quick walk or a busy kennel? I provide personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your dog's personality, age, and energy level. Whether your dog enjoys a neighborhood walk, a wooded trail hike, a sniff walk, puzzle games, fetch, or simply relaxing with companionship, my goal is to make every visit enjoyable, enriching, and stress-free. I have over 14 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including supervising groups of up to 30 dogs in a professional dog daycare and caring for puppy groups under 4 months old. For more than five years, I also organized dog hikes throughout Westchester County, NY, and Fairfield County, CT, giving dogs a safe, structured, and fun way to exercise and explore. My experience is strongest with Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, Doodles, Cavaliers, and other friendly companion breeds that thrive with individualized attention, exercise, enrichment, and companionship. While I welcome many different breeds, I always schedule a meet-and-greet first to make sure we're the right fit for each other. My own Golden Retriever, Kobi, was my best friend and adventure partner for over 12 years. Together we explored hiking trails, beaches, kayaking trips, road trips from Maine to Florida, and countless daily walks. He taught me that every dog is an individual with unique needs, and that is exactly how I care for every dog I meet. I believe many dogs are happier with personalized care than large-group environments. Over the years, I have learned to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, manage different personalities, and create a calm environment where dogs feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, oral medications, and dogs that simply need extra patience and attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and is just a five-minute walk from beautiful wooded trails. I intentionally keep boarding and daycare small by accepting only one guest dog at a time, or two dogs from the same family, so every dog receives plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and individual attention. I also have a playpen available for puppies and young dogs who benefit from structured rest time. My apartment is on the second floor, so dogs should be be comfortable using stairs. While living in England, I helped care for a Golden Retriever, and later in Spain, I cared for a Yorkshire Terrier. These experiences, together with years of owning dogs, leading dog hikes, and working professionally in dog daycare, have given me experience with many different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. My approach combines practical experience with a calm, patient mindset. I am certified in Reiki and Emotion Code energy work and believe dogs thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. While every visit focuses first on your dog's physical needs, I also pay close attention to their emotional well-being. Services I offer: • Dog walking • Adventure walks and hikes (up to 2 hours) • 30-60 minute drop-in visits • Puppy visits and enrichment activities • Limited home daycare • Limited boarding for approved dogs For everyone's safety and comfort, I require a meet-and-greet before accepting new clients. I look forward to meeting you and giving your dog the same love, attention, and care that I gave my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am self-employed as a bookkeeper and real estate agent, which allows me to work primarily from home and maintain a flexible schedule. While I occasionally leave the house for appointments, errands, or property showings, I am able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets in my care. This flexibility allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and close supervision for dogs staying in my home. I provide a safe, calm, and personalized environment with plenty of individual attention. My home has a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I live just a 5-minute walk from wooded trails for walks and adventures. Dogs have access to a comfortable sofa, toys, and puzzle games for enrichment and mental stimulation. I live in a second-floor apartment, so dogs should be comfortable using stairs. I only accept 1 dogs at a time or 2 from the same family to ensure each dog receives plenty of supervision, exercise, and companionship.

“Alison was AMAZING!!! My dog is particular when it comes to staying with people. Alison made her feel right at home. She took care of my little one as if she were her own and I loved that. Alison sent daily updates sometimes multiple times a day just to ensure that I know my little one was in good hands! Hands down excellent experience.”

“My dog didn’t want to come home after staying with Crystal and has pouted since I brought him home. He clearly had a blast. I read the positive reviews when booking, and I’m glad I listened to everyone. Highlights- great communication, loved my dog as her own, gave me complete peace of mind while I traveled. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to trust to watch my best friend.”

“My husband and i are so happy that we found Andrea, she loved and cared for Bronson like her own, her home was so warm, free and welcoming to our dog. It was Bronson’s first time staying with a sitter and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Andrea took him to the park and walked him daily, she also updated me on a consistent basis providing peace for me while on vacation. Her son and bronson were very good buddies, I would definitely recommend her home for your pet.”

“Jessica and her husband were clearly so patient and understanding about sitting for a senior dog. Salto came back happy and excited! They sent regular photos and updates. I would absolutely have Salto stay with them again if we are in the area.”

About: Animals are basically part of my DNA. I’ve been walking dogs and pet sitting since I was a child, and I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I’ve also been riding and caring for horses my entire life, which means I’m very comfortable with responsibility, routines, and understanding animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to seniors who need a calmer pace and extra TLC. I’m great at reading animal cues, keeping routines consistent, and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, so pets are never left alone and are part of my daily routine. My home sits on 3 acres of private property surrounded by a state park, which means lots of space for play and long walks or hikes. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I care for pets by treating them like part of the family, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I stick closely to each pet’s usual routine—including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure dogs get plenty of supervised exercise, enrichment, and attention throughout the day. I’m attentive to individual needs, whether that means extra activity for high-energy dogs, gentle care for seniors, or patience and consistency with puppies. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Maddie was a life saviour, on very short notice she took care of our dog, she updated us while she had our dog and took great care of her…I highly recommend her…”

Brenda P.

“Our experience with leaving T’yo with Blanca has been the best we’ve had so far using Rover. She took such great care and really kept him busy in the best ways (walks, free play, and fun socializing with her own fur baby). I appreciated all of the updates she provided. I felt confident he was in safe and loving hands! We will definitely be booking with Blanca again because I can genuinely tell T’yo had the best time!”

“Katherine took excellent care of our 8 yr old lab mix. She sent multiple texts & photos. Our dog can be a little nervous but was so at ease with Katherine. I highly recommend her!”

Pat K.

“David and his family were incredible with my Moosey. This was the longest I’ve ever been away from her and I am extremely grateful to have found care that is so considerate and joyful. Moose has a ton of energy and personality, and David and his family ensured that she was loved, exercised, and understood like the puppy baby she thinks she is. He communicated thoroughly about her day-to-day and checked in about any deviations to their or her regular schedule. He is also very flexible and understanding, which I truly appreciated before and after a long trip abroad. Though they are moving, I truly hope (and know Moose does as well) to rebook their services in the future. Amazing, loving, knowledgable family with amazing snacks! Definitely recommend.”

“Olive Oyl had the best time with Annie, she got to play and spend lots of time outdoors! It was wonderful receiving photos and updates from Annie throughout the stay, felt like we got to be a part of it as well! Thank you so much for welcoming her into your home!”

Danielle & Jacob R.

“Joe was very attentive and loving to my dog, who stayed for boarding. He is easy to work with and communicates often. I highly recommend!”

William S.

“Grace was excellent with our dog, Leni. He had some serious separation anxiety when we dropped him off and went on a hunger strike for several days. Not only did Grace keep us hell informed, she went above and beyond in trying to make Leni feel comfortable in her home and went as far as spoon feeding him to get him to eat. We're so thankful for all that she did to take care of Leni. I would highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a loving and caring home in which to leave their pup while traveling. Thank you, Grace!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my childhood dog from puppy to senior. I enjoyed training and grooming my puppy and making my senior dog a power bowl. I am a very active person - a hiker, marathoner, boxer, and cyclist, I can exhaust your furry babies however they want! And I particularly have a good sense of reading animal behavior, meaning if your dog needs a therapist, I am a very good listener;) I currently work flexible hours, so I have plenty of time to give your furry babies attention any time of the day. Boarding, walking and house sitting are all welcome weekdays or weekends. Boarding: I am in a 2bd condo with balcony without any pet in a quiet neighborhood. I am walking distance to a lot of trails (paved and non-paved) that your dog can take advantage of. Sitting: tell me your pet’s routine, I will be accountable!

“Thank you Sam! She’s our go to for help with our puppy Ruby - Sam is so sweet with her as she takes a while to warm up to new people, she takes very good care of Ruby, reaches out with questions and always follows our sometimes wordy instructions!”

“Erika was great with our dog! She was giving us updates all the time and my pup seemed very comfortable with her! We will definitely reach out to her again!”

Olivera M.

“Brenda was terrific and Memo had a great time! He really felt part of the family and she kept me posted with photos and videos even for such a short stay. Definitely recommend!”

About: I grew up in a dog‑loving home and had the privilege of caring for several breeds over the years — first a Boxer, then a Siberian Husky, later a German Shepherd/Malamute mix, and eventually a Pomeranian. Being around such different personalities taught me how to understand dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Because of that experience, family, neighbors, and friends have always trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, play with them, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. No one will be assisting me with care. I also accept rabbits and small pets for boarding. Owners must provide cage, food, and supplies. Because I work from home, I’m able to give your dog consistent attention and care all day long. Whether it’s playtime, potty breaks, or just keeping them company, I’m always close by. I also offer 24/7 boarding availability, ensuring your pet has a safe, supervised environment at all times. Your dog will have plenty of room to feel at home here. I live on an acre of land with a dog run and a peaceful neighborhood that’s ideal for daily walks. There’s even a small pond with geese right across the street, which many dogs find entertaining. Inside, the living room is designated as comfortable, pet‑friendly space where your dog can relax. I also provide a crate for dogs who prefer a cozy, enclosed sleeping area.

“Irene took great care of my older dog for the long weekend. I got video and photo updates and she was very kind taking care of my dog that needs medication and more care.”
