Dog Boarding in Pharsalia, NY

“Darlene is an amazing sitter. My dog had a great time with her. He was well taken care of and I received all necessary updates needed. He returned home very happy and content.”

“We had a fantastic experience with our dog sitter Viviane this past weekend! She took wonderful care of our two golden doodles, Brody and Wynston and they had a blast playing with her sweet dog, Scout. Communication was excellent—she kept us updated throughout the weekend and sent lots of great pictures, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pups and made sure they felt comfortable and happy. We couldn’t be more pleased and would absolutely trust her to watch them again!”

Shavonne J.

“We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter than Ashley. She was great at communicating with us daily about how our two puppers were doing. She made us feel comfortable by letting us know how they were eating, made sure to confirm with us that they received their medication, and made our dogs feel like they never left home. One of our dogs is a little skiddish, and she did everything she could to make her feel comfortable. We will definitely be booking with Ashley again!”

“Charlie came back happy and healthy! Susan kept us well updated without needing to prompt, which was much appreciated while we were tied up on vacation it was nice to see he was being well cared for.”

“Thomas was the perfect sitter for Beauty. She does best with someone who will let her sleep outside or in the garage and just be around. She seemed so happy and got to go on some little local trips. Thomas sent pictures daily with updates which was perfect for me.”

“Jenna is amazing with animals. I have never been able to leave my pup and feel comfortable. He's a dog with many needs, medical, behavioral you name it. He gets into tons of trouble. She was able to keep him safe qnd happy and he got a ton if exercise and attention just like he was at home. We have even tried a doggy daycare and he was hurt while we were away. Jenna kept him safe. We will be using her again next month!”

“Morghan was wonderful with our elderly dog. Super responsive and communicated well throughout the time she was boarding her. Took great care of her and clearly loves all types of animals. Highly recommend her!”

“Lorinda was so sweet and great with Flora. She sent plenty of pictures and her home seemed like a fun place with lots of space for the dogs to run around. If I'm back upstate for family stuff I'd love to have Flora stay with her again!”

“Charlene was just wonderful with our 11 year old beagle. She allowed us to stop over a couple of days ahead of our reservation so our dog could meet her and her husband. That made it so much easier on the day we dropped him off and headed out of town. Charlene stayed in touch with us while we were away and sent pictures. I never worried for a single minute that our dog was in her care. She did a great job and I highly recommend her! Thanks Charlene for taking such great care of our dog. You're the best!”

Ann F.

“Monica was amazing with our dog! He came home happy, healthy, and was clearly well taken care of. He also had a great time with their dog. I will most definitely use her services again!”

Katie J.

“Gilbert was fantastic with Chance. I received at least daily pictures and updates on how Chance was doing. Gilbert also dropped in to take care of my cat while we were away and did a wonderful job with him too. I appreciate everything Gilbert did and would not hesitate to hire him again. He is the BEST! Thank you Gilbert…. Until next time! 😁😁”

“Chantal was a fantastic sitter for our puppy, who struggles with separation anxiety. She provided exceptional care, making him feel right at home and showing remarkable patience throughout his overnight stay. Her dedication and kindness were truly comforting to us. We highly recommend Chantal to anyone seeking a caring and attentive pet sitter. We're grateful for her service and will definitely seek her help again.”

“friendly and kind people with lots of space for your dog to play.”

“Francine was excellent with our two beagles. This was my first time with a dog sitter, and my wife and I were quite nervous, however were reassured very quickly. My wife and I are paid emt’s and have unpredictable work schedules. Francine is flexible, understanding and treated our pups like her own. She updates you throughout the day, and took my hyperactive two pups on long walks that are much needed. Thank you for not only being a sitter, but a friend to my two pups. I highly recommend francine to anyone, because she is the best!! After coming home after 12 hours at her house my two are snuggled in bed fast asleep. Way to go francine!”

About: I carry poop bags & treats on me at all times. I have common vet meds memorized. I own plastic syringes. I have carriers in my car. I’m on a group text list for emergency wildlife rescue. I spend my off hours volunteering at a shelter for cats that also spays/neuters dogs. lol, hi, I’m Eli. I will care for your pet with so much patience, empathy, care, space (if needed), cuddles (if they are asking for it), or whatever is appropriate. Animals can do no wrong out of evil or malice in MOH eyes, they just need guidance and love and help! My biggest flaw as a sitter is that I tend to over communicate as a baseline — usually out of confirming their health / safety first — but I can discern what is an emergency and send summarized updates (i.e. by night or by weekend if housesitting longterm, for example.) So feel FREE to set a boundary; you can’t hurt my feelings. Just let me know how to reach you (message or call) & for what. My husband care for our cats if I need to house-sit, otherwise, this is my full-time gig lately and I absolutely love it! It’s my calling. 🥰 I leave a place better than I found it; I am highly polite and respectful and would never disrespect a client’s home; I treat it like I’m a guest on my best behavior of course!

“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 !! ❤️”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid, having many pets growing up. I have volunteered in the animal care center at Greenburgh nature center where I got to care for a variety of reptiles and mammals. I have dog sat many family friends dogs, and also walked dogs for families I've babysat. Most recently, I worked at the Hudson Valley Humane Society Shelter where I mostly worked with farm animals and dogs, and is where I met and adopted my sweet boy named Suka. I currently am working in Ithaca 6:30-3:00pm and have the afternoons available I would be able to work in the Ithaca area or surrounding all the way to Truxton (where I currently live). Come this September I will have Wednesdays and Weekends completely available. I live on 5 acres, with plenty of room to play. I will always keep your pet on a leash or make sure there surrounding area is gated in so no one escapes. Having a husky, I am well versed on being prepared for escape artists.

“I have always been worried to board my dog but Briana and her family took all the worry away. Daily updates and pictures were so amazing. She even went above and beyond working with her when it came to training. If you’re looking for someone to board your dog stop here and use this family you will not be disappointed they made everything so easy and gave the perfect piece of mind. We look forward to using Briana again and again for our willow.”
