“Our timid puppy was instantly at ease with Steve. He did a great job managing her 5 month old teething chewing. She seemed to have a positive connection with Steve when we picked her up.”
“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”
“Mary is amazing! Our dogs had a great time when they stayed with her; they were well taken care of. She took the time to take pictures of the dogs and sent us frequent updates so we would know they were okay. We will definitely be using her services again!! ?”
“I cannot say enough good things about Charlene! When you love your pet as I do, it is always a little nerve wracking to need to leave your beloved with a stranger. But from moment one I knew that My Keeley would be well taken care of. There was oohing and aahing and all the right things, like a fenced in yard and that they promised me that their guest dog is always accompanied outside, not left alone. Keeley snuggled on the couch with Charlene with is not Keeley's custom with new people. She was quickly at home. I highly recommend Charlene! Not only did she put my mind at ease, but Keeley was loved!”
“Dana has a wonderful setup for the dogs in her care and keeps them safe and happy! She sends lots of videos and updates as well. I highly recommend Dana!”
“Landry and Berto were great. They had a friendly dog and a nice backyard for the dogs to play. I will definitely re-book. Yuki ( our dog) came back healthy and happy.”
“Toby had an amazing time at Alex’s! He was able to explore his big yard at his leisure and also got to do some nice woodland hikes. Alex sent lots of great pictures and updates. Highly recommend.”
“Terry is a compassionate sitter. She genuinely wanted my Hanna to be comfortable during my long week away. We decided if Hanna were to jump on the couch to rest that she would have found here comfort spot. Terry is very good with communication and notified me with a picture. This was Hanna's second stay with Terry and I am already planning my next.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life, but really started taking a lot of responsibility for their care around 12. From small breeds to large, I've loved them all! I have experience with behavioral issues, medication administration, seizures, and other medical issues. I'm a stay at home mom of two beautiful disabled children. We have one cat and one dog. I'm always home and available during the day for boarding. We have nice, big yards and we live in a very friendly neighborhood! I'd also love to help take care of your babes on the weekends, evenings, and occasionally during the week! I have an unfenced but spacious yard. Our home has the capacity to keep everyone separated if needed, but lots of room to be together, too! We have plenty of room for a crate, if that's how your sweet babe thrives, but we also support snuggles during sleep, too!
“I needed my cat boarded for the day and he accepted boarding her. He was reliable with communication and was able to have my cat boarded and my cat was relaxed when I picked her up. I would definitely recommend for sitting or boarding your pet.”
“Shanea is amazing! She took care of our 6 month old picky labradoodle so well. She’s like his second family and had an awesome time. I would trust her to take care of your fur babies like they were her own.”
“Great communication! Highly recommend Shelby to take good care of your four legged friend 🐶”
“Jamie was amazing and so communicative while watching our little guy. So relieving to know your pet is with someone who takes their health and happiness seriously!”
“Bee was great. Was able to get my pups in on short notice. My one dog has fear aggression with some people but was OK for Bee and even warmed up to her. She answered right away when I texted to check in on them. My dogs seemed happy and comfortable when I went to pick them up! Would certainly use her again for future trips if needed.”
“Extremely kind and great communication! 10/10 recommended and definitely going to be a returning client”
“Ashley and her family were wonderful hosts for our dog, Dudley. He came back from his 4-day stay in great condition. He had good walks and lots of attention. He is a bit idiosyncratic in the way of older dogs, and that did not phase them. We really appreciated their loving care. Plus, Dudley got along excellently with their sweet spaniel, Wally! Ashley kept us well up-dated on his activity, which was reassuring, because it's hard leaving quirky old dogs. We highly recommend Ashley and her family.”
“Adriana was amazing! She took care of Denis as he was her own. Provided pictures and updates via text! If we are ever back in the CNY we will definitely be contacting her to watch our boy.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since a long time. I take my dog for runs and walks for 7-8 miles daily. I can also take your dog for hiking if you want me to. I work from home on Fridays and Monday which is suitable for me since I am at home for the whole weekend and provide 24x7 care to the pets. I have friendly Australian shepherd who loves to play and is filled with high energy. My apartment has ample of space for pets to play around.
About: Taking care of pets has always been part of my life. I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. As for walks, I have to active kids who are always willing to take a walk around. I currently work at the local school just minutes from my home. I come home middle of the day. I am home during the summer and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one dog who is a big baby. Dogs are allowed to lay wherever they are comfortable but can also crate if they are used to that.
“Darlene and her husband provide a safe and caring environment. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our fur baby was in good hands. Darlene is wonderful about maintaining communication and occasionally just sending a photo so you know everything is OK. Our little guy is a handful and it appears that she was able to handle his quirks with ease. I would recommend Darlene without hesitation.”
