Dog Boarding in South Oxford, NY

“What can I say about Lorinda? She provided exceptional care for my two dogs on a two week private at home boarding at her house. Her communication and responsiveness was 10 out of 10. She was incredibly flexible and helpful with logistics and some special accommodations we needed. When the state got extended and the dogs ran out of food, she was kind enough to go to two different stores to pick up what they like. She is very professional and reliable, and I feel very comfortable being out of the country, knowing that my dogs are with her.”

“Amy did a fantastic job with our dog Summit! She welcomed him with open arms as if he was one of her own dogs! She kept us posted with his current status throughout the day including pictures, and was always responsive! 15/10 would book again with Amy!”

“This was our 1st time using Rover and our 1st time leaving our new dog with someone else for the weekend. So I was a little nervous. Steve was great with Phinny and sent me pictures and a quick note after the 1st night. This really put me at ease. And from the long nap Phinny took when I brought him home, we could tell he had a blast socializing and playing with all the other dogs! We will definitely use them again!”

“Charlene was so wonderful with our dog Apple. The best part was that she kept us feeling connected by sending us a few updates and pictures that showed Apple having fun and relaxed. It was just the right amount of reassurance that Apple was having a good time. She came back from her dogcation with a wagging tail! Would definitely book with Charlene again! Thanks!”

“What can I say? Ashley & Brian feel less like dog sitters than a second family for our pup. The moment we arrive, he launches out of the car to greet Brian – we can go away with total confidence that our guy is being thoughtfully cared for and loved. The daily reports with photos are always a highlight for us and leave us feeling comfortable and able to relax while we are away. There is no one we trust more, and we can’t recommend them highly enough!”

About: I have had pets most of my life. I quit my job and started a non-profit, St. Lewis Foundation, which didnt work out, so all the animals in my care became my pets. They were mostly senior and unwanted animals, which is where my heart is. I am unemployed right now, looking for remote work . So I am home all day. I have the time to let your pup out as many times as he/she wants. If they are a little dog I will be right by their side. I am up 6a - 9p. I have 3 senior cats that sleep up high most of the day, so your pup needs to be okay with cats. All pups sleep with me in my king size bed (if they want to). I have a dog bed next to me in my office or a couch in front of a large front window. I have locked screen security doors in case your pup likes to sniff the air. Central AC (I like it cool) and heating. I have many balls and treats (if allowed) and would love to throw the ball a bit. Back yard is not huge but sufficient. All my dogs have passed and I am missing a dog so much but cant commit right now. So let me love on your pup!

“Gil was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. Our gigantic and sometimes nervous dog, Stella, was very well cared for and Gil sent lots of pictures of their lovely walks together. Gil met with us in advance so he could start to get to know Stella; he is obviously a caring and gentle person and she got lots of love while she was with him.”

“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”

“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”

“This is Tucker's second time with Nicole and her family. Nicole is very responsive and caring. Tucker seems to have a great time and might be spoiled with her even more than with me. Nicole please tell your girls that Tucker will see them soon.”

“Sheila was wonderful. Very helpful and quick to respond back to me. I booked an overnight with her to see if my dog and her would be a good match for a vacation planned out of the country, before we actually left. Lil bear did better with her then he has in the past, with other sitters. I am lucky to have found her and look forward to working with her in the future.”

About: I am just starting to my fourth career, playing with your companion. I recently retired from teaching sustainable development at UAlbany. I now spend my days outside with hairy friend Herman. I picked up my first stray, Bandit, at 9. I have had a at least one dog since then, I am now 63. All from shelters or strays. I also did doggie foster care too. Known to be gentle and friend of the furry ones. I start each day with a morning meander across the 25 acres on a dead end road. Your companion will be well exercised, loved and cared for as long as they get along with my 14 year old hairy friend Herman, who lets cats eat from his dishes. He runs the place when it comes to house rules. He does not have viscous bone in his body. After three careers and global travel I am recently retired. My days are spent gardening, walking, sitting on the porch, listening to music, etc. I am rarely gone more than a few hours as Herman, my four legged friend, needs special care at 14 years old. I am typically up before dawn, no dog or alarm necessary. My day typically begins with me waking predawn and greeting the new day with my hound Herman on the 25 acres we cohabitate. Most is abandoned agriculture returning to forest for 35 plus years that is bisected by a small babbling brook. Breakfast is then served before returning outside. In climate weather I am outside more than 70% of my day outside. At 14 he chooses to stay in sometimes. Your companion will be free to make their own choice too. My life ambition is to nurture life. I have cared for pets since I was born as my family had cats. There is a fenced area that includes four shaded area. There will be plenty of water, including a baby pool for play as well as sprinklers. This area is shares two fences lines with my garden, has direct access to a walk out basement, and is fully visible from my porch. The dogs will have near 24/7 personal attention and care. I live sustainably. There are no chemicals in my lawn or garden. I have an enclosed porch that in the summer is open air, but no steps to escape. Only with your permission would I walk a guest off leash. Before walking them off leash I will need feel 100% confident they respond to command when other distractions are present. Again with your permission I would take your friend to a fenced in dog park visit as a trial run. Herman, my housemate, is a happy healthy 14 year old he is my best reference. He also has final word on all guest of all species. About an 1/2 acre is fenced with direct access from the house through the basement door. It includes shaded doggie lounges, a baby pool in the summer, toys galore, and lots of attention as the space is adjacent to my garden and the covered porch. It has the capacity to be divided if unruly dog needs to be isolated or there are little ones that just need time away from the bigger ones. Indoors, dogs are free to roam in the basement and first floor. If they are cage trained I can accommodate that. The two beds are off limits. To prevent misunderstanding with bed loving dogs I will keep my guest room. Both the porch and the living room couches are fine. Little ones may use chairs too. The house is really set up for Herman’s comfort and safety. The 32x10 covered front porch is a favorite of Herman and all his visiting friends. Your hairy friend will be delighted by this feature too. One more thing, the hardwood floors are currently covered in rubber “yoga mats” as Herman can not cope with slippery floors. There are also many large dog beds that Herman is happy to share. Opps, where are our manners; welcome to our slice of Paradise!😊

I currently have a dog who loves to play and a husky who is full of energy! And two cats who are just cuddle bugs, we have a park near by so we can go play, and I can easily crate your dog if needed and have plenty plenty of toys!
