Dog Boarding In Morningside Heights

About: Hi there! I’m Anna, an Upper West Sider and lifetime animal lover. I’ve been casually caring for pets of friends and acquaintances for years and just realized I could make a very happy part time job out of it. Currently I spend most of my time doing volunteer work for a community garden, so I’m generally available, very responsive, and known to be reliable. I’d like to provide a fun, personalized time for your best friend so I am available for 1-2 dogs per walk as well as sitting and boarding on a case by case basis (for the safety of my own furry best friend). I have an extremely flexible schedule that is on a volunteer basis so I will generally have as much time to spend on your pets as desired. Happy to follow whichever instructions you have set for your home (and for mine, if boarding) and will water your plants upon request! My own home is a moderately sized one-bedroom for myself and my cat Winnie. There are stairs, so boarding may mot be feasible for senior dogs who can’t be carried up.

“Thank you fir taking great care of Leo, Taisiya!”

“My dog absolutely loves going to Ryan & Jefra ‘s! The moment we pull up, his tail starts wagging like crazy because he knows he’s about to have the best time. They treat him like part of their family — he gets tons of love, attention, and playtime. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such caring hands. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Highly recommend!”

“Crissy was great! She sent photos daily, replied quickly to messages, and was very friendly. She lives in a nice neighborhood and took great care of our dog. Definitely recommend!”

Katherine T.

“Fatima is amazing! She will care for your pup like they’re her own! Very communicative, caring, and sweet! 10/10 have booked twice and will book again!”

“Luisanna is the sweetest and most kind sitter for my baby Belle. She is so patient and gave Belle time to warm up to her. My girl Belle is very shy and anxious when meeting new people. By the time I picked Belle up she was happy and well adjusted. Anna shared updates throughout the stay to help me know how Belle was adjusting. Our next stay is already booked. We can’t wait to see Anna again!”

“I had a last-minute work trip come up and Alanis and Marco were able to step in without any hassle. They were really flexible and made everything easy on my end. I got consistent updates while I was away, which helped a lot since I hate being out of the loop with my dog. This is my second time booking with them and both experiences have been smooth and reliable. I’d definitely book again!”

Eileen C.

“Suleyma was great with Copper! Sent updates on his behavior and comfort and made sure he got plenty of stimulation at the park. Second time booking with Suleyma and will definitely book again :)”

Krista W.

“Jessica was wonderful with Mousse and really attentive with her complicated medication schedule. She was also very accommodating after we were delayed in picking her up, and couldn't have been nicer or more understanding. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely look to her for our next boarding opportunity.”

Shay C.

“Ryan was a phenomenal sitter! He was quick to accept my last minute request. He was attentive and followed all my instructions while sending video and picture updates at my preferred cadence! Ryan is great with dogs and even offered a few toys and treats of his own while checking with me first to see if ok. Ryan was an amazing sitter and I plan to use him again!”

Maya R.

“Chris and Klara took great care of my dog for the evening. Their dog, Ella, is gentle and sweet and got along well with mine. I would gladly book with them again.”

Jack M.

“This is our third time using Symone and we just can’t say enough good things. She is responsive, caring and provides so many updates. We truly love using her and trust her with our pup!”

Sonya N.

“Genevieve was absolute delight. Fantastic sitter. My pup Maize gladly right at home and behaved as such. She provided daily pics and updates. Would absolutely rebook and cross the GW bridge and RFK to have Maize with her. It was a short booking and short notice but top notch. It is obvious she is an animal lover. Good aura!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, including my own rescue dog. I’m calm, attentive, and know how to approach shy or anxious pets with patience. I understand different needs, from playful puppies to quiet seniors and always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering meds, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care has been a part of my life for over a decade, and it fits perfectly into my routine. I currently work early mornings, so I’m available most afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I love spending time with animals—it brings me calm and joy. I’m reliable, organized, and take my responsibilities seriously. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm and safe space where pets can relax and feel secure. I follow feeding, walking, and care routines closely and communicate regularly with pet parents. I’m attentive to pet behavior and make sure they always feel comfortable and loved.

“Piero was great with my dog! So much so that my dog didn’t want to leave. I would definitely recommend and hire again. Thank you for taking such good care of my Prince!”

“Addy was great with my pup! She sent videos and pics and even picked her up and dropped her off! She was exhausted from all the playing when she got home :)”

Lilach F.

“Max had a great time with Yinuo. Yinuo was great at sending updates and photos, taking Max on long walks and playing fetch. I felt incredibly rest assured and comfortable that Max was being well taken care of while I was away. Yinuo was so great at following all instructions and care details. I’d love to book with her again!”

“Lisa is absolutely amazing. Sheru had the best time with her. She took him on several walks and even brought him to Central Park, which he loved. Sheru usually doesn’t eat much when he stays with a new sitter, but he ate well with Lisa, which made us feel very comfortable and reassured. Her apartment is clean, comfortable, and welcoming, and she kept us updated throughout the day with plenty of pictures and messages. It was so nice to see Sheru happy and well cared for. We have truly found our sitter for Sheru and will definitely be using Lisa again in the future.”

“she was super sweet. sofi looked like she had so much fun. constantly sent me pictures and kept me updated on how sofi was doing. highly recommend her!”

“Great experience. Daniela took care of our 10lb wiener dog and was communicative and friendly the whole time. He got plenty of walks in the parks near her, plus her place was easy to get to. Definitely keeping her in mind for the next trip we can't bring the dog on!”
