I work mostly from home, so have endless time to hang with your pup. We have about an acre of fenced in land, with lots of nooks for pups to explore. When I’m away, usually no more than two or three hours, your pup will safely rest inside with my two doodle puppy pals

Information Mikia E. would like to know about your pet

We are open to boarding any " hypoallergenic" non-shedding or lightly shedding dog breeds, which would include any poodle mix, big or small, or otherwise. While I don't mind puppy chaos and muddy paws, we try to keep our home as allergen free as possible. Also pee free! Potty trained pups only!

A typical day

We love dog walks, have a fenced in yard and an abundance of chew toys to share. We usually try to get in one substantial walk a day, and pups are free to go out and play in the fenced yard whenever they want.

Pets

Doodle Dog sitting!

Pet care experience

Doodle dog sitting available! All non-shedding breeds welcomed! Perfect place for your pup to stay while you vacation in the Finger Lakes. Or if you’re taking a break from the lakes. ❤️ My teen and I adore doodles and would love to care for your special buddy when you can't. Any fluffy visitors to our house are considered family and will be treated and loved as such. I grew up with dogs and have had my own dogs for the past twenty years. Why doodles? I have a slight allergy, but not bothered by all levels of doodle mixes and other hypoallergenic-y doggies. They also shed less.

Mikia took in our 2yo pup like he was part of the family. He had a large fenced in yard to play in, two friendly dogs to play with, and plenty of warmth and cuddles from Mikia and her daughter. He even got his own stocking on Christmas Day! Arrangements were easy and made convenient for us. Mikia is a wonderful person! Would definitely rebook.

Mikia was a wonderful pet sitter for our Doggy. She was kind, flexible with timing, and gave helpful updates throughout the day. We will definitely be back for some pet sitting fun!

Mikia was very friendly and easy to communicate with! She seemed to love my puppy as her own!
