Dog Boarding North Java

“They both did a great job watching our dog Gustov!! Providing pictures and updates to how he was doing and that he was in great hands helped enjoy our vacation so much more. Will definitely be booking again with you all in the future and if anyone reading this has any reservations about using them rest assured they cared for my dog as it was their own. Thanks again!!”

“Kelly was awesome for our girls first stay away from home. She updated me throughout our 3 days away so that I had peace of mind and knew they were being well cared for. They came home happy and tired! Thank you Kelly!”

Beth M.

“I can’t thank Joan and Tim enough for taking my dogs while we were at my daughters wedding for a long weekend. She was so attentive and gave me many updates and made it so I can be worry free. I appreciate them so much.”

“Jessie was excellent for our dog while we were away. He sent plenty of photos and our anxious dog appeared comfortable and happy. Jessie went above and beyond to encourage our dog to eat as he settled in. He returned home calm and not stressed. I will happily ask Jessie to watch our dog again.”

“Mickey was great. She made Beasley feel very comfortable and treated him like one of the family. She even bought him a sweater that she let us keep while we were gone because it got very cold out. He not only loved her but he also made a couple new friends at her house. Sunny and Sylvester were great companions for him during his stay. We will definitely be calling Mickey for future travels when Beasley needs a place to stay.”

“Lindsey did a fantastic job watching our goldendoodle. He loved the long daily walks and play time with her cute dog, and I enjoyed the daily updates and pictures. Vacations are much more relaxing when you know your dog is also having a great time. Looking forward to another booking, thanks Lindsey!”

Sarah H.

“It was so reassuring knowing that Josh & Kelly were taking great care of our pup while we were on vacation. They, along with their children were so caring and loving to Gus. We received pictures and updates every day too. He couldn’t have been in better hands, and we will definitely be contacting them again to watch him.”

“Michelle was awesome! Our dog Mabel loved her stay and Michelle kept us up to speed with pictures and videos documenting the week. Would definitely book again.”

“Jin, was very friendly and very communicative. She treated my baby girl like her own. She took my booking at the last minute, I thank her for that. Highly recommended!”

Simone W.

“Erika took great care of our dachshund Penne Linguine! She had a dedicated area for our “little princess” and made sure to give her lots of attention, walks, playtime. We received several photos and video of Penne having a great time on her “vacation”. Thanks guys!”

Jennifer M.

“Melissa is wonderful!! She took great care of my husky and german shepard together, and they're a handful. Very quick to respond, good communication and they were very happy playing with her two pups. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”

“We are so glad that we opted to leave our dog with Dana and Jeremy. She is 10 years old and we only had her for a short time so we hated to leave her. She seemed to fit right in with Dana and Jeremy. They took her on several walks which is her favorite thing to do. We received multiple texts and pictures daily which really helped us relax while we were away. We will definitely use them again when we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.

“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”

“Monica was so great! She was super attentive to Auggi, reached out if she noticed anything out of the norm, and did a great job at sending me photos and updates. I don't think my dog wanted to come home with me haha! Will definitely be using Monica again.”

Kaitlin B.

“Crystal was amazing! She took such good care of our dog. She had great communication and sent updates with pictures! We will definitely be asking her again to watch our dog.”

Megan A.

“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”

Thailynn M.

“Danielle was awesome! Gus had an amazing time and was so tuckered out when he got home yesterday which tells me he was well cared for and played a lot. She was very responsive and provided great updates daily.”

Ryanne D.

“Sarah is great! She was available on short notice and took excellent care of my dog Maizie. Her little fur baby was also very friendly and welcoming, so Maizie had a playmate for the day as a bonus!”

Karan A.

“Alexis did a great job with our two german shepherd dogs. She kept in touch and sent us photos. She even sent us a photo of our shy dog snuggling with her daughter, something I would have never expected our dog to do!”
