Dog Boarding Stanley

“Our dog loved her week with Alara and we would highly recommend her to anyone. She really understands dogs and fenced in yard to let the dogs get their energy out during the day. Will definitely use her again.”

“Kathy and Tim are trustworthy, lovely people that will care deeply for your pet. They are a pleasure to speak with, knowing your dog will be in great hands. I would without a doubt book with them again.”

About: Like many others, I am a dog lover and was raised taking care of family dogs. Unlike others, that passion led to training and classes, competing in dog sports, and now, competing in dog shows. I have experience with many breeds of all sizes, senior pet care, reactive dog care and training. I would love to help you with your pet care needs! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most dogs’ needs. I currently have open availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop in visits. Dogs are treated like one of my own! I take your dog out for leashed potty breaks several times a day, according to their needs. While I am working, your dog can settle on the couch or one of the many dog beds, or relax and play with my dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Foxhound). If your dog likes the crate, I have an extra for them. When I run errands, your dog will be crated or gated in a separate room from my dogs for safety. I live on 4 acres next and next to a cemetery, so I can take your dog for relaxing walks in a peaceful environment.

“Mariema was fantastic! She took our brand new 2 year old rescue with little helpful instructions from us and kept her busy, having fun and getting all that energy depleted each day. We got daily pictures and insights into her behavior. Would highly recommend and will be asking Mariema to keep this whirlwind again for us!”

“Carol took great care of our dog, Theo. He is used to being the star of the show and Carol made sure he felt right at home. The kids appreciated her pictures and messages showing that he was clearly comfortable and well taken care of. Thanks so much!”

“Kathleen & Brian are great sitters. They took great care of our Bernese Mountain Dog. We will definitely be using their services again! Would recommend to anyone.”

About: I've had pets in my life since the day I was born, and as a teen I spent several years working in an animal shelter, caring for animals and working with the health team. I'm experienced with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with behavioral challenges, and visually impaired and deaf animals. I've also cared for dogs with serious health needs like cancer and diabetes. I'm not a vet or vet tech, but I'm comfortable with basic care like changing a bandage, and I know how to respond in an emergency and reach the nearest emergency care. I've boarded dogs over 100 pounds, and they do great with my dog Leo, a 16 pound Jack Russell dachshund mix who has graduated from obedience and agility courses about five times. I also sit cats, birds, small critters, and reptiles. For dogs, I like to start with a neutral meet and greet, so I ask for two weeks notice, though I'm flexible in emergencies. If you'd like, I can also arrange grooming and specialized training as an additional service while your pet is in my care, provided through a licensed groomer and trainer. Your pet will be treated like family. I work from home, so I offer daytime care during work hours as well as overnight boarding while you travel. Your pet gets plenty of one-on-one time and extra TLC when needed. All pet care happens in my home on a quiet street in the Village of Manchester. I work remotely, so your pet is never left alone for long. Dogs get lots of one-on-one time, and I'm happy to send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I start with a neutral meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along with my dog Leo. I have a large backyard with natural tree lines and barriers, but safety comes first. Any dog in my care stays on a leash or tie out whenever they're outside, with no exceptions, even if a yard is fenced. I'm happy to take short walks into the yard, and if your pet prefers pet pads, I can provide those. Cats get a quiet room behind closed doors, separate from my own cats, and can stay in their crate, come out, or sit with me in my office. I know how to respond in an emergency and how to reach the nearest emergency care.

“Hunter clearly enjoyed his stay with Julia and her family. My kids and I appreciated that he was a part of a family away from home. Thank you!”

About: I have been walking dogs and taking care of cats and dogs for years. I give cats and dogs some attention and play with them. I am currently available on weekends and week nights for walking dogs. I am flexible with the times on weekends. I can take dogs for more than 20 minutes to give them more exercise and an enjoyable time. If you need your dog (s) to stay at my house overnight or during the day on weekends, I can look after them, play with them, and walk them. I have a large fenced yard.

“We are so grateful to Maxine! She took care of our pup on short notice when we had an emergency. Archie had a great time and we were relieved he was taken care of while we were away.”

Candy H.

“Destiny has a lovely home that is very practical for petsitting. She has zones and rooms that can be closed off. Her beagle and cat both did well with my cat, no one was traumatized. But the best of course is the loving family my pet enjoyed. They doted on him and tolerated all of his quirks. I felt like he was so well cared for.”

About: Hi, fellow animal lovers! 🐾💕 I’m Olivia, and I’ve loved having furry friends in my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with dogs, and one of my favorite things is getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re a playful little goofball, a professional napper, or a shy sweetheart who needs a little extra time to warm up. 🐶🐱 I work a full-time hybrid job and am home most days, with availability that is primarily evenings and weekends. I like to plan ahead with pet parents so we can make sure your pet’s needs, routine, and care schedule are a good fit. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I take your instructions seriously and believe communication makes all the difference. I’m happy to share photo updates and little check-ins so you can see how your bestie is doing while you’re away! 📸💗 I no longer have a pet of my own, so getting to spend time with other people’s furry friends is something I genuinely look forward to. I love building relationships with both pets and their humans, and I’d be thrilled to become a familiar, trusted face your pet gets excited to see! Whether your kitty needs some company while you’re away or your pup needs a cozy place to stay overnight, I’d love to meet you both. Let’s make your pet’s next little adventure a happy one! 🐾 I currently work a full time hybrid job where I am home most days with a pretty flexible schedule. Due to recent life changes, I no longer have my own pet and am really missing having a buddy at home. I currently live in a first floor apartment, but there is a fenced in dog area right behind my building and love to take walks around the neighborhood. I have always been around animals and have a strong love for them all. A family member also a top Rover sitter in the Canandaigua area that I have assisted with as well for several years.

About: I love taking care of animals full time! I've had my own cats and dogs for over 17 years. Bella, a rat terrier mix (Bella passed in June of 2018) and Marley, a lab/greyhound who passed in 2025. I used to volunteer with Another Chance Pet Rescue fostering puppies and dogs until they found their Forever Homes so I’m familiar with all types and breeds of dogs. I've had experience with puppies, training and the needs of older pets as well as helping those who are anxious, scared or have come from so not so good homes. I just recently moved to the village of Lima but am familiar with all surrounding areas of Rochester. I enjoy walking, playing and taking hikes with dogs. My availability is flexible to fit your needs. I've had experience with a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua, Dachshund to Huskies and Pit Bulls. I also take care of small animals including cats, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, chickens, etc. and have recently expanded into Horses and goats ❤️ Pricing: Pricing is noted for dogs and cats only and is Per pet. I am flexible with adjusting rates depending on your needs and how many pets you have so please contact me. Walking and visits: This entails at least a 30 minute visit with your pets and I also send you a report card at the end of the visit with photos, potty breaks and what we did. House Sitting/Overnight visits: These entail 4 visits per day. Generally my times would be morning/breakfast, lunch, evening/dinner and once again before bed. If you need more visits I can adjust my schedule and rates to fit your needs. I do not spend the night with your pets unless for reasons it’s necessary or requested. I send daily photos and communicate how your pets are doing throughout the day. I will also bring in your mail and water plants:) I am currently pet sitting full time and taking care of my beautiful 10 year old daughter who occasionally helps me. My schedule is very flexible to fit your pets daily routine. I feel pets do better in their own surroundings and sticking to their daily routines. I’ll be watching your pets in their own home, making sure they are safe, comfortable and most important happy while you’re away!

“This whole experience was new to me! My family and I recently moved to the area and decided to give Rover.com a try. I could not have been more pleased with the results! Lori took fantastic care of our little guy and kept me updated each day with how he was doing. She sent me lots of pictures and helped make our quick trip out of town even that much more enjoyable knowing that Simba was in good hands! She is truly a wonderful person and her love of animals shows in how well she takes care of them. I am very grateful I picked Lori and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Sammi was our first rover ever and she made it very non-stressful with watching our pups! They got along great with her cats and daughter! It was certainly a wonderful fit for us!”

Tayler P.

“I left my fur baby with Matt for a two-week span, and it couldn't have worked out better. Matt immediately connected with my pup, asked a bunch of questions about his routine and likes/dislikes, and was extremely communicative throughout the stay, sending photos and video updates of their walks and playtime. He even helped unload and set up my dog's crate, bed, and belongings! Matt is conscientious and caring, and I am so glad to have found him!! Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. It started with my family dog, along with family members dogs. I would walk them and feed them. I then got my own dogs that I do all care for. I started fostering with a local rescue in 2022. I’ve cared for dogs with medical issues. Anywhere from Seizure disorders, parasites and other various medical issues. I treat every dog that I care for as if they’re my own. I currently work full time, M-F 730a-330p. I am able to check in, walk, feed, etc, dogs before work, during my lunch and after work. I have 2 dogs of my own. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Unfortunately, I don’t have a fenced in yard. I do take my dogs on multiple walks everyday along with utilizing a tie out (if they want to stay out longer), and would do the same with yours, so they get some outside time.

“Thank you, Allison, for taking such good care of our puppy! We know he's a handful, but he loves playing with your dog, and getting regular updates from you kept our minds at ease while on vacation.”
