“Andrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.”

“I’m so happy to have found Shelia to watch my pug baby Luna. Shelia has such great energy and it carries into her work and care for animals. I had no problems and Shelia sent me photos/videos! I’ll for sure book again.”

“Ollie seemed to be very happy when I picked him up!”

“Our puppy loved spending time with Claudia! She is kind, loving and welcomed our pet into her home. We received updates and photos throughout her stay, and there was no question that she was in good hands. We would definitely contact Claudia again!”

“Very responsive, flexible, and accommodating! It felt like my sweet boy was welcomed into a family for a few days. So glad to have someone to go back to for dog care in the future!”

“Michaella was excellent! Having never stayed with someone else before, our dog was quickly very comfortable with Michaella. She sent plenty of photo updates and clearly gave our dog lots of love and attention. We would definitely book Michaella again in the future.”

“Ashley and her family were wonderful hosts for our dog, Dudley. He came back from his 4-day stay in great condition. He had good walks and lots of attention. He is a bit idiosyncratic in the way of older dogs, and that did not phase them. We really appreciated their loving care. Plus, Dudley got along excellently with their sweet spaniel, Wally! Ashley kept us well up-dated on his activity, which was reassuring, because it's hard leaving quirky old dogs. We highly recommend Ashley and her family.”

“This is my second time with Yuxin. She’s amazing!! Took great care of my crazy puppy. Updated very frequently and is great at communicating. 10/10!!”

“Remi had a good time at Alex's house. Our one year old GSP is very spoiled and a velcro dog, does not like to be alone and Alex cared for him and tired him out with hikes and play. I recommend Alex and his family for taking on such a huge responsibility and loving our pets like their own. Thank you Alex for providing pictures and a safe place for Remi .”

“Lorie and her family were awesome! They treated Benji like he was one of the family. He and her terrior were best friends. We definitely will be back!”

“Riya was amazing! Took time to get to know my dog and let us both feel comfortable with her, her space and her dog. Sent photos and I was confident during my time away that my dog was well cared for and was having fun. Highly recommended!”

“Kyle was great for our young blue heeler Shadow! Our dog needs time to warm up to new people, and Kyle was very comfortable with that process. Upon first meeting, Shadow growled at him and snapped at the air a bit but Kyle was not bothered and knew to ignore Shadow at first. After some time, Shadow was asking him for belly rubs. Before leaving Shadow with Kyle we arranged two visits between him and the dog to make sure they were friends. Kyle was very accommodating and happy to take that extra time out of his day. I really appreciated his willingness to do that. During their time together, Kyle sent photos and updates every day. Right away from the photos we could see that our pup was relaxed and settling into spending time with his new human friend in the house and on walks. Shadow even got to sleep in bed and sit on couches (like he does at home...) Knowing everything was OK for both of them really helped us enjoy our trip. Big thanks to Kyle!”

“What else can I say about Dentiny? She has always been there to help myself and my canine daughter out. Time and time again, I will always be able to depend on her no matter what.”

“Keira was her usual revved up self while she stayed at Jennifer’s and skinned up her nose trying to poke it out beyond the chain link fence to gather more smells. It appears to be healing ok. Jennifer seems like a thoughtful, caring person.”

“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.”

“Stephanie was amazing, flexible, responsive and sent us photos regularly! She had our dog Central for almost an entire week and he loved her. Highly recommended”

“Heidi was the perfect fun-loving, outdoor-loving, entirely responsible, snuggle buddy for Rosie while we were away. She has a gift for seeing the world through dog eyes and for loving them as they are.”

“Alexandra is amazing with animals. She has watched my dog more than once and is very responsible. She will take care of your pet like it is hers. She is a very reliable and she will take great care of your pet(s).”

“Flannery is great. I would recommend her strongly.”

About: Hi! We’re Robert and Eileen 😀 We’re longtime Ithaca residents and currently have two dogs and one cat. All three animals are retired Cornell Companion Therapy Animals, and both dogs are AKC-registered Canine Good Citizens. We’ve both owned dogs throughout our lives, in addition to smaller animals like hamsters, gerbils, degus, birds, amphibians, and reptiles. You can expect that we’ll maximize quality time and attention for your pet, so we may be selective and will prioritize quality care over quantity of animals. We have a large, fenced-in backyard and live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood. Robert works from home and will stay with your pet throughout the day, and Eileen’s work schedule is very flexible. Come try us out for a more personalized doggy daycare experience! We’d love to include your dog in outdoor play time with our two dogs. But please don’t hesitate to inform us if your dog needs any special accommodations. We’d also love to provide photos throughout the day because we know how important it is to know that your pet is ok. Since our dogs are getting older, we have experience administering oral and injected medications as needed, and we’re located minutes away from Colonial Vet Hospital in the case of an emergency. Please send us any questions that may have. We’re looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Robert works from home and will stay with your pet throughout the day, and Eileen’s work schedule is very flexible. Your dog would join ours for morning, afternoon, and evening playtime outdoors or more if needed. Your dog will live with us in our home and have access to our large fenced-in backyard. Dogs will be supervised at all times while outdoors.
