“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!”


“Angela did an amazing job taking care of Gigi. Gigi was a happy tired girl when I picked her up from having so much fun. Highly recommend. I look forward to using Angela again.”


“Debbie was amazing! She was in constant contact with us, and proved regular updates and photos of our Zac playing and having a blast. Super caring and very sweet, she provided a fun and loving environment for Zac that a normal kennel could not match. I would absolutly reccomend her again, and will be setting up future play dates for Zac and Freya. Thank you Debbie!”


“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 was super friendly and laid back. She was cautious and had a meet and greet to see if my dog would get along with her dog before accepting my booking. She sent pictures to me while my dog was there and kept me updated on his days there. I will Definately be using Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their dog.”


“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 simply amazing! She came to pick up Nova on time and consistently sent Nova's photos and videos. She is very passionate and patient with puppies as well. Having her service was a great experience for me, and I will definitely trust her again on my next trip to care for my baby.”


About: I am reliable, responsible, and I of course love dogs! My family feels lucky to be the welcoming home that our friends and family put their trust in when they need a place for their dogs to stay while they're on vacation! I have fostered 20+ dogs (including puppies and adult dogs) since 2020 and I have 2 small dogs of my own. Furry visitors in my home typically join the pack quickly and feel right at home. I have a fenced in back yard. I work from home so the pups at my house like to snuggle up next to my desk. I am able to take breaks frequently for doggie potty breaks. I like to bring the dogs for walks around the block in the morning and evening. I have a fenced in yard and two small, friendly dogs for your dog to play with. I'd love to hear what your dog's normal routine looks like so that I can make them feel as comfortable as possible in my home.

“Gil was so great with our Lulu !!! He was awesome to communicate with before and during her stay. We set up a meet beforehand and he asked lots of thoughtful questions to make sure he understood her care. Lulu had long walks in the country while she was with him and lots of snuggles - just what she loves ! When we picked her up she was so relaxed and happy. Couldn’t ask for anyone better to watch our girl ?”


“We were so lucky to have Whitney & Kevin watch our two dogs- a playful puppy and our older, more mellow dog for a full week. They welcomed them into their home and took such great care of them, giving each exactly what they needed—plenty of playtime for the pup and comfort and calm for our senior dog. They sent regular updates and photos, which made us feel completely at ease. We picked up two happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved dogs. We couldn’t recommend them more!”


“Brittany was very responsive from the beginning. She took great care of Maple, sent some pictures while we were gone and gave Maple lots of attention so we could spend the day in Cooperstown with our kids. Thanks Brittany!”


“I can't say enough about how fantastic Steve is with dogs. My dog is very energetic. Steve provided outlets for his energy and worked on training. I received pictures and videos everyday. Steven was very accommodating to my schedule and my dogs needs. My dog was excited to go and play with Steve and his pack. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.”


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 cannot recommend Averi C. enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Humphrey. She sent me daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He always looked so happy and well cared for, and I could tell he was having the best time. She was incredibly sweet, responsive, and clearly treated him like one of her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—Humphrey already misses her!”

“Cassandra was amazing with my Sophia who is an older dog with a few senior issues. We were kept in the loop every day on how she was adjusting to her new sitter ( including pictures) and that made me feel confident we made a great choice. I would hope Cassandra will agree to watch Sophia again when she needs boarding. Anne”

Laura W.
“Laura and her family have been our dog sitter for a few years now. I’m very anxious and sometimes can’t even enjoy vacation if I’m not comfortable with where my dog is staying. Laura and her family have made vacations much more enjoyable. I will actually move my vacation dates if she is not availe, she is that important to the overall happiness of my vacation. Marley, my 9 year old shepherd mix, gets excited when we turn onto their road. She loves being there! I get multiple check ins and pictures whenever I ask. Marley loves every member of Laura’s household. While she is there I know she is getting plenty of love, attention and care. I cannot say enough good things about Laura. She is truly the only place I trust to watch my Marley.”
