“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.”
“Mary is amazing! She watched our dog Atlas while we were on a cruise and it looked like he was having so much fun. She kept us updated with pictures and even sent him home with a new toy and Christmas ornament when we picked him up. We will definitely be asking her to watch him again.”
“Charlene was so wonderful with our dog Apple. The best part was that she kept us feeling connected by sending us a few updates and pictures that showed Apple having fun and relaxed. It was just the right amount of reassurance that Apple was having a good time. She came back from her dogcation with a wagging tail! Would definitely book with Charlene again! Thanks!”
“Dana provided outstanding care for my dog Louie! She was able to send me updates and pictures throughout his stay. I couldn’t ask for a more caring and trustworthy sitter! Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. Family members and friends often rely on me to look after their pets when they’re away, whether that means boarding, bathing, playtime, or providing basic care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re apart. I’m currently caring for a family at home. which means I’m home and available to give your pets lots of attention and playtime. I offer both boarding and daycare during weekdays and weekends, so you can count on me for flexible scheduling that works around your needs. While in my care, your pets will enjoy a secure, fenced-in yard to play and relax in. I have a medium-sized, friendly dog who would be happy to keep your pet company, but if needed, I can also create a safe, separate space. My priority is always your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness.
“I had never left my shiz tsu before and was nervous, but Terry was very confident he would be ok. She sent me pictures of him sitting with her and running around her backyard. He loved being with her, then I was afraid he had forgotten me. She corresponded with me, which was nice. I would leave Finley there again in a heartbeat. If you need a sitter, believe me, Terry is your person!!”
“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.”
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!
“Bee was a great sitter! She always responded right away when coordinating pickup and drop-off and I felt very comfortable leaving my 1-year old terrier with her. My pup had time playing with her dog in their yard and was completely relaxed and happy when I got him back. It was so helpful having someone I could trust for this last-minute overnight stay.”

“Anthony is a great choice for your furry friends while away! He was flexible and accommodating with my request of meeting at his house before watching my dogs. I received photo updates and felt comfortable with my dogs being in Anthony’s care. His sweet pup added to the fun and beautiful property provided plenty of space for romping around. I will be using Anthony again!”
About: Have over 10+ years. Having owned my own dogs. Ready to care for yours ! New to town here, excited to make new friends for my pup! I’m a Stay at home mom. So I’m home almost all of the time. To dedicate to your pet. Love to walk in the neighborhood here too. We take walks, go for hikes, play outside in the fenced backyard. Or just relax in the living room and be couch potatoes. Or I can come to you and do the same.
“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.”
