Pet Boarding Slingerlands

“David is an outstanding caretaker. He’s been a very welcomed sub twice for our regular sitter, and we’re happy to give him our highest recommendation.”

“I can’t say enough about Jaya & her family taking care of my dog Barley like he was one of theirs. She was quick w/ responding, and her communication was thorough. Barley loved his “sleep over” playing w/ Jaya’s cute pup Biscuit in her big back yard. She made me feel like Barley was safe & would be cared for just like her own. We’ll surely be hoping she is available again for our next pet sitting need. Thank you Jaya !”

About: Hello! My name is Jess, and I am excited to offer my pet services to you and your furry family members. With 35 years of experience as a pet care provider and over 20 years in rescue, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every pet I care for. My commitment to animal welfare includes over twenty years volunteering for a local rescue organization, as well as six years on the board where I'm currently serving as President. Having recently retired, I now devote all my time to my one true love—pets. I'm a foster failure many times over and I'm looking forward to spending my days with my pups. My extensive experience includes special needs care, managing diet and allergy restrictions, light physical therapy, basic pet CPR and first aid, senior care and administering medications. I'm well versed in animal behaviors and speak their language. I know what they want to do and what they don't want to do with just about any pet I come in contact with. Whether your pet needs a walk, a visit, a sample delivered to the vet, transportation to vet/medical appointments, grooming services, or a comforting home away from home while you're away, I've got you covered. I offer overnight boarding (longer stays available) for vaccinated and friendly pets in my home, along with check-ins and walking services. I have a grooming room in my home to provide a full service spa day for your pet, ensuring they feel pampered and loved, and look like a million bucks when you return. It can be one of the hardest things we do, leaving our pets. Having someone you trust and your pets love can make or break your travel plans, or your decision to add a pet to a working family. Life is better with dogs, let me help you live your best dog mom/dad life... I look forward to meeting your pets (and you of course).. I'm retired, so I'm flexible. I'm available almost any day/time, with some notice. While a booking is preferred, I can usually accommodate last minute requests (at least an hour or two notice). If I cannot, I can refer you to another trusted pet care giver. I have over an acre of property with a fenced in yard. Quiet cul-de-sac in village area. No thru vehicle traffic, light foot traffic. I have four rescue pugs who can't wait to meet their next best friend. They love play dates with other pets, I'm in rescue and frequently host meetups, transport drops and foster, so there are always furry friends for play time. However, if your pet is a little less energy and enjoys nap time and quiet, I can easily accommodate that as well. Take away, your pet will be safe, secure, loved, pet and very well cared for. They'll ask you when they can come back!

“Vera kindly agreed to host our Piper with less than a week’s notice. She was super communicative, sending a reminder packing list prior to the visit, as well as detailed updates and lots of photos. Piper had a terrific time with Vera and returned home a happy pup. Thank you!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including training my own dog, Zion. As a responsible and attentive pet care provider, I focus on ensuring pets are not only well-fed and exercised but also mentally stimulated. I offer personalized care, whether it's a fun walk, training sessions, or companionship for your dog. I specialize in basic obedience training and understand the needs of both puppies and senior dogs. With Zion, I’ve practiced commands, socialization, and positive reinforcement techniques, ensuring a happy and well-behaved dog. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I make time each day for walks, training, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to offer consistent care for your pet, whether it's a quick walk or extended care while you're away. I'm committed to providing the attention, exercise, and love pets need. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet. I always make sure to use secure collars and leashes, and I pay close attention to the surroundings, especially when there are other dogs nearby. I am constantly vigilant and take every precaution to ensure your pet stays safe during walks and playtime. My focus is on providing a secure environment, ensuring your pet receives the care, attention, and exercise they need while staying safe and having fun all the time.

“Jack is by far the best dog sitter in the capital region. He is so attentive to dogs, has the best space for dogs to run and play around, and his dog is very well trained. Our Aussie Lilo loves Jack and she is always happy for her staycation. We are so happy to have found Jack and that our Lilo gets along so well with him and his dogs. We cannot recommend Jack enough.”

“This is Tyson's second time staying with Amanda. She is really good with him. She has a fenced in yard and often has multiple dogs to keep company with including her husky. Her dad even came by to see Tyson. When traveling it's such a blessing to have good people to watch your pet so you don't have to worry. I feel like he's having a sleepover at a friend's house. Thank you Amanda!”

Erin E.

“Marianne was great! She was very communicative and sent us videos and/or pictures daily. She treated Buddy like her own and he had a great stay. We will definitely book again and would recommend her to anyone!”

“It was our first time using the app and Antonio and Catherine were great. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with them and they updated us often with pictures.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my life. This is the first time since I was 6 years old that I don't have a pup to take care of. I grew up in a very pet oriented household (including cats, dogs and pet pigs). I used to volunteer with my mom at the Mohawk Humane Society so I have a lot of experience with all different kinds of dogs. I live in a great walkable neighborhood with lots of greenery trails. I do work full time so I am not available from 8am-5pm but I have a very flexible schedule on weekends and nights after 5pm. I currently work full time at a Cardiologist Practice so I am available for walks and dog sitting on weekends only. I am available after 6pm for night time dog walks as well. I live in a very walkable area with lots of trails / sidewalks that I personally enjoy walking on daily. I do not personally have any animals so I have a lot of space and attention to give to a pup.

“It was our pups first time away from us. They had such a wonderful time with Kania! She sent pics throughout the day as well. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kania for your puppy sitting needs!”

Catherine C.

“Peg was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. We were looking for care very close to when we left town. She was willing to arrange and meet that worked with our schedule and allowed drop off at a time that worked well with our travel. The second you meet her, you can tell she loves dogs. The yard was fenced and well cared for. While we were away we would get occasional pictures and updates to reassure us our pup was doing well. Highly Recommend!”

Michelle B.

“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”

Carl L.

“Brian was very kind and easy to get in touch with. We had to last minute head out of town for a funeral and he responded very quickly. Our dog Radar clearly had a great time at his house with lots of play since he napped all day on our return! We would definitely use Brian again as a sitter.”

“Jen and her kids had a blast with our dogs..and were great with keeping up with communication and pictures..we felt like they were 8n good hands, and look forward to having them stay again!”

“Candice was kind, caring and responsive. She took the bestest care of my dog, Bruce, and was so patient with me and my husband even though we booked her totally last minute. I cannot wait to book her again!”

“Lauren and family made leaving our boy Brew a relaxing and comforting experience while we went away for a weeks vacation. The moment I met her I knew Brewtus would be in good hands. Anytime I texted about Brewtus she was quick to respond, kept us updated with pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend her and will most definitely be using her services and care again!! Thank you! BREWTUS is now part farm dog!😆😍🥰💙 thank you again for peace of mind!!!!”
