Dog Boarding in South Wales, NY

“Awesome people!! And very accommodating!! It’s a comfort to know your furry family member is in such great hands while you are miles and miles away. It allows us to enjoy our vacation more knowing that he’s being so well cared for!!”

“I can’t thank Joan and Tim enough for taking my dogs while we were at my daughters wedding for a long weekend. She was so attentive and gave me many updates and made it so I can be worry free. I appreciate them so much.”

“Mickey was great. She made Beasley feel very comfortable and treated him like one of the family. She even bought him a sweater that she let us keep while we were gone because it got very cold out. He not only loved her but he also made a couple new friends at her house. Sunny and Sylvester were great companions for him during his stay. We will definitely be calling Mickey for future travels when Beasley needs a place to stay.”

“So glad to have this beautiful family watch Dax for us! He was well loved and taken care of!! We received many photos and had great communication during his visit! We will definitely be using them in the future!!”

“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”

“Erika and Nick were wonderful while watching my pup! They were very communicative right from the beginning, even took time to meet up with me before drop off to a sure that our dogs got along. They were very communicative the entire time they were watching my pup and sent lots of great pictures so I can always know how things were going. Will definitely be using them again!”

Marie M.

“Dana kept me updated daily with pictures and what they did for the day. Bella really enjoyed herself. She usually doesn't eat when we are away but she felt comfortable in their home. I am so grateful to have found them! I will definitely be using them for future trip knowing that my baby will be taken care of and loved like it was me. Thank you guys for everything!!”

Melissa B.

“Linsey was amazing with Dax! He loved playing and hanging out with her pup too!! We were grateful she was able to take Dax on such short notice as our other Rover person had an emergency! We loved the communication and photos that were sent!”

Dawn G.

“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.

“Melissa was great! Allowed me to book at the very last minute and my dog Charli was well taken care of and seemed happy and comfortable the second we got there. Thanks, Melissa!!!”

“Crystal was great with our dogs! It was our first time using this site and having dogs away from home but she made us feel so comfortable and reassured us that they will have above and beyond what they need. She sent us pictures and updates regularly which made us feel even better! I highly recommend Crystal!”

“My family and I went on a mini vacation for 3 nights. When I left my two dogs with Monica I felt very comfortable and felt there was no need to worry about anything, well boy was I right! She is fabulous! About 20 min into their stay with her, she messaged me pictures of them Playing and lounging around . She continued to send me pics daily of them showing me how they were, which was very relieving! The very last day one of my dogs was experiencing loose poops (we think it was just from the heat) which she also had messaged me about prior to pick up . My dog has an accident in her house which I felt terrible about but she was so easy going and sweet about it which was really nice , since I felt so bad! I would take my dogs back to her in a heartbeat! They loved their stay with her and we enjoyed our vacation without worrying about our doggies! She is also very reasonable! I would recommend her 100%!”

“I am so excited that I found someone who will luv and take care of my fur babies like I would. This was the first time I left my babies with a sitter. Katie assured me they would be ok and for me to go enjoy myself on my little getaway! I am happy that I did! I luv how Katie made communication during their stay. I could see that my fur babies were well taken care of and was enjoying their stay. The walks, playtime, and other activities. Thank you Katie! You Rock!!!!!”
