About Me: Hi, I'm Arya Naga. I was born in India and moved to the United States in 2005. Through the hard work and dedication of my parents, I achieved my goals of becoming a permanent resident (enroute to becoming a US Citizen in few months), earning my education and building my passion into a business dedicated to dogs. I provide boarding, daycare, training, behavior modification, walking, exercise, and grooming with one simple motto: **Happiness, Wellness, and Safety of Every Pet Under My Care.** I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, individualized attention, structured exercise, enrichment activities, and regular potty breaks throughout the day. Every dog's care is customized based on age, energy level, temperament, health, and your specific instructions. I am currently signed up for my 3rd educational degree to finish pre DVM prerequisites in about 2-3 years, with the goal of getting into Cornell to pursue my DVM degree. I train my dogs regularly in obedience, tracking, agility and search and rescue. I am also a **NASAR Wilderness Air Scent Certified K9 Handler**, and I have experience working with dogs of many breeds, sizes, temperaments, and behavioral challenges. My Boarding Philosophy: Safety always comes first. Every dog is treated as an individual. I carefully evaluate each dog's temperament before introducing them to other dogs. While many dogs eventually enjoy supervised group play, I never force interactions simply because they're boarding together. If your dog prefers people over other dogs—or simply needs more personal space—they will receive plenty of one-on-one attention, walks, playtime, enrichment, and affection instead. What Your Dog Can Expect: * Constant supervision while boarding * Structured play, walks, fetch, and enrichment * Individual feeding and medication (if needed) * Fresh water and frequent potty breaks * Clean, sanitized environment * Comfortable individual crate for rest and overnight sleeping * Plenty of exercise balanced with appropriate rest Dogs are never left crated all day. Throughout the day they enjoy multiple outdoor breaks, exercise sessions, walks, and playtime before returning indoors to relax and recharge. Crate Policy: All boarding dogs have their own appropriately sized crate for meals, rest periods, and overnight sleeping. This helps maintain a safe, clean, and low-stress environment for every dog while preventing accidents, unwanted chewing, food stealing, marking, or conflicts between unfamiliar dogs. Crate training is also an important life skill that benefits dogs in veterinary care, travel, and training environments. Cleanliness: Maintaining a clean environment is one of my highest priorities. My home, crates, and equipment are cleaned and sanitized regularly using pet-safe cleaning products to provide a healthy environment for every guest. Feeding: I recommend owners bring their dog's regular food to avoid digestive upset. However, if needed, I can provide my own high-quality kibble for a reasonable additional fee, provided your dog has no known food sensitivities. What I Ask From Owners: To provide the best care possible, I ask that owners share: * Your dog's daily routine * Feeding and medication instructions * Behavioral history (both strengths and challenges) * Play style and exercise preferences * Any medical conditions or special needs The more I know about your dog, the better I can make their stay comfortable and enjoyable. My Commitment: My goal is for every dog to leave my home happy, healthy, safe, and excited to return. I take the trust you place in me seriously and will care for your dog as if they were one of my own. I also perform a wellness check during both drop-off and pickup to document your dog's condition and ensure transparency for everyone involved. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your pup!

Ratings and reviews
I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Arya. I was incredibly nervous leaving Cooper for 11 days, as he had never been left with anyone before and still needed quite a bit of work with socialization and training. From the very beginning, Arya made the entire process feel easy and comfortable. He took the time beforehand to walk me through his property, explain what Cooper’s days would look like, and show me how everything was structured. When it came time to drop Cooper off, Arya was incredibly patient with both Cooper and I during the handoff. Throughout the 11 days, the communication was amazing. Arya sent tons of videos and updates so I could actually see Cooper’s progress, and he was always available to answer any questions I had. It completely eased my mind knowing Cooper was not only being well cared for, but also getting so much attention, structure, and training. Cooper came home a different pup—in the absolute best way! We could immediately see a difference in his behavior and confidence. I’m so grateful for the time and effort Arya put into him and would absolutely trust him with Cooper again. Highly recommend!!!!!
Arya was very patient with my nervous pit bull mix. She was very anxious when I dryer off and had a wagging tail when I picked her up. Arya knows what he’s doing! I highly recommend.
Great communication and I loved getting all the videos. The boys looked like they had fun!
Arya is definitely passionate and knowledgeable about dogs! He was very helpful to our puppy who had some separation anxiety and who can be an escape artist. So Arya gave him one-on- one attention and kept him on a leash so we would not escape. Arya went way out of his way and took him specially to a local dog park, that our pup was familiar with, to help with his separation anxiety. He was very committed to keeping him safe and happy.
Arya took excellent care of our dog. He is new to Ithaca (moved here 2 weeks ago) and still working out some of the details of his dog care business, but he is very conscientious and knowledgeable when it comes to dogs -- and he clearly loves them! Arya answered questions via text promptly and sent 3-4 videos of our dog per day (in which Jackie always looked very happy!). We would definitely leave Jackie with Arya again, and would recommend him to other dog owners without hesitation.
Arya did a great job with getting long walks in and accommodating my pups needs. I do wish there was more information on where my dog slept and if the care instructions were met, so more updates than just walking videos. There was one hiccup where my dog’s bed was misplaced but he returned it quickly.

Schedule
As i work from home, i can attend the pets needs in a timely manner and ensure they are always well taken care of and are having a good time when boarded with me. They come out every 2-3 hrs and get walked or played hard for 30-40 mins each session and the loop repeats like from 6am/7am to midnight.

Safety, trust & environment
I give personalized attention to an individual pup’s needs and strategize my approach accordingly. The pets are always provided with required amount of food, plenty of water, play and potty breaks between 7am to 1am.
Pets
A typical day
I love to stimulate the dogs both physically and mentally by engaging in different activities like fetching, running, agility, nose work, long walks and puzzle games. I have 4 acres of land. I can use the whole land if he/she has the energy and passion for playing or walking.
