Dog Boarding Merrifield

“My dog Chica suffers from terrible anxiety and wasn’t doing well at another sitter in the area so I was frantically looking for another sitter. I tried one night with John and Ellen and it seemed to go well so I booked again. Chica has stayed there for 3 nights and she seems to be doing so much better with her anxiety. Their place seems quiet and peaceful for her. She doesn’t come back scared. I only received photos on one day during her stay but she appeared to be doing well with the other dogs and looked content! It’s very hard to please a depressed dog but they seem to do so! I am definitely booking with John and Ellen again for a longer stay and know I won’t have to worry about Chica. Just hoping for more pictures next time! :)”

“As always, our dogs had a fantastic time with Robert and Eileen and their dogs! It’s really nice that when we have to go out of town our dogs get a vacation too!”

“Dev had a great stay with Ashley and Brian again! So glad that he has a loving and safe place to stay while we're out of town! Would recommend them to anyone.”

“Destiny was friendly and accommodating, and my dogs clearly had a good time while they were at her home. I will happily use her again the next time I go on vacation.”

“My Bella and I absolutely love Kimberly. It is so comforting that when we get to Kimberly's, Bella runs over and goes right into her home. Kimberly sends me pictures and compliments about my Bella....it makes my heart smile. THANK YOU to Kimberly for making me feel like my Bella's at her home away from home.”

About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.

“Sarah was awesome! She spoiled my pup while I was away for a few days. She asked very comforting questions to ensure he was taken care of. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter!”

Alexis B.

“Very responsive. Constant updates and photos so you can relax on vacation! Huge plus of knowing my Bella is taken care of and calm. Would recommend Megan to all my friends and family. BEYOND SATISFIED !! ❤️”

Michele H.

“Rose provided a caring , delightful home for our Seamus while we were away . She communicated beautifully, was so responsive and outstanding in every possible respect. We’re super grateful and recommend her heartily , and will seek her out when we go away again.”

“Sam was incredibly patient with Zena! Zena was triggered by the fireworks, Sam communicated everyday with me about helping Zena to regulate her emotions, she helped soothe her, provide Zena with the space she needed to calm down. I appreciate the picture and video and feed back on how to help Zena once we pick her up. Zena was well cared for, had her own clean room to roam in and a large hard to play in all this helped reduce my anxiety about leaving her. Over all Sam was knowledge about dog breeds and understands how to work with strong-willed shibas. Definitely recommend.”

About: Pet care found ME... I did not find it. After cuddling with random dogs I'd meet on the street my whole life, someone finally asked me "Why don't you take care of pets professionally?" And thus a career was born (which I've adored ever since). I owned my own pet care company for over 15 years while living in NYC and NJ. Now, I’m based in Ithaca, and look forward to taking care of your fur baby! I am not working full time and have plenty of downtime. Thus, my schedule is super flexible and easily adjustable to your pet care needs! I treat all pets as if they were my own. I had a chow chow for many years, which was a member of our family and that is how I view ALL animals. They are part of our lives and our hearts and should be treated with just as much kindness and love as their human counterparts. Hospitality and pet care are my main sources of income. I work nights in hospitality, and my schedule is fairly flexible. I will always make every fur baby take care of my priority! I can take care of pets at your home or mine. I live in a three story/three bedroom townhouse, so there is plenty of room. The townhouse community sits on a big piece of open property. I absolutely LOVE playing with your pets--whether they are in my house or yours. I especially love giving them lots of love and affection!

“Irina was absolutely wonderful!!! She really went above and beyond, and I can't thank her enough. Oscar and Gabby came home happy, healthy and full of pep. I cannot recommend Irina highly enough!!! Infinity Stars!!!”

Darlene V.

“Dianna was super kind, nice, and attentive. Lexi loved her and had a great time. She also sent lots of pictures and updates. Really great experience!”

Nick C.

“Alicia provided excellent pet care for our cats in her home. She had a special cat room where they stayed and it had ample toys to play with. Her love for animals was obvious and she gave our cats. Excellent care attention. Thank you so much!”

Laura W.

“Katherine was great with my dog. She was very accommodating to my dog's needs and sent multiple daily photos and updates while we were away. We will use Katherine again when we need a dog sitter.”

Laurence D.

“5 stars for Eden , Gemma was well taken care of and loved while I was on vacation. Can't thank her enough for the excellent care. This was my first time boarding and had a wonderful experience. Loved the sitter but didn't love Roverr the app because I was charged holiday pricing for all 9 days when only 1 day was a holiday.”

Carmine C.

“My pup had the absolute best time staying with Mikia! I could tell he missed her when I took him home. Mikia provided a ton of photo updates of my dog just having a blast, and as a bonus the photos are great and ones that I'll keep forever. HIGHLY recommend, super cozy family environment with an outdoor space and a super friendly dog of their own. Will definitely book again.”

Andrew G.

“Destiny has a lovely home that is very practical for petsitting. She has zones and rooms that can be closed off. Her beagle and cat both did well with my cat, no one was traumatized. But the best of course is the loving family my pet enjoyed. They doted on him and tolerated all of his quirks. I felt like he was so well cared for.”
