“Tim and Kathy are incredible people! They took such good care of our Caesar when we went away for the night. They sent pictures and sweet notes and we knew he was in the best of hands. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Pam is exceptional ! Very attentive and loving towards your pet. We don't leave our dog hardly at all because we refuse to put him in a kennel situation, Pam has been our God-send! Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful. We were very nervous about leaving our senior dog and very soon in to taking our little dog in we were good. Samantha really did an excellent job making sure he ate and giving him his medicine. We will definitely recommend Samantha to take care of your dog. We will be using Samantha again.”
“Amanda was sweet enough to board our 9 week old puppy for a long weekend. Our puppy was well taken care of, spoiled with lots of play time and walks. Amanda sent me lots of pictures and was easy to communicate with. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Lyndsay and her entire family are Super...they all love animals and treat your pet as their own. Penny was with Lyndsay for 9 nights and she communicated with us every day with a picture and short update. Will definitely use Lyndsay again and highly recommend her and her family to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“Beth watched our dog for over a week. She took excellent care of him and was extremely professional to work with. She had clean, comfortable amenities and was very conscientious about his needs. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Arianna was so amazing watching Granger for me!!! I was visiting the Fingerlakes with some friends and couldn’t bring Granger on a dinner cruise we wanted to do. Arianna was very sweet and wonderful, answering any questions I had over the phone before the trip, being flexible about drop off time when we were running behind, sending pictures of Granger while we were out, and allowing for a late pick up time after our cruise. She was always quick to respond and Granger was well taken care of! Would definitely recommend and will be messaging her again if I’m ever back in the area!”
“Amanda was a godsend for boarding our three dogs while we were away for five days. We were anxious since it was our dogs’ first time being boarded. The pups didn’t exactly make a great first impression—let’s just say they had some settling in missteps in the first 10 minutes that had us cringing. But Amanda was amazing, brushing it off with a smile and total confidence. She knows her stuff, having worked with veterinary’s practice, and made us feel quite comfortable leaving our pups with her. She sent us daily texts and pics, which was a relief. The dogs clearly loved her, and by the time we picked them up, they were chill, happy, and obviously well-fed and exercised. We’re already looking forward to booking Amanda again.”
“Angi took great care of my two Collies for the week! She sent photos of them several times so we could see how much fun they were having. She has an excellent outdoor fenced space set up for dogs to exercise. Would definitely leave them with her again next time we go on vacation. Thanks, Angi!!”
“Lauren did a great job caring for my dog Stella! She was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request and sent daily pictures/updates. Stella came home happy and well taken care of.”
About: Hello! I recently moved here from Maryland. After losing our pup in 2023, we decided to wait a bit and last year, added two new fur babies to our house. I really missed that energy in the house. I have had pets my entire life & love my fur babies. I have 3 biological children & 3 step and all of them are animal lovers too :) Having just relocated, I have a pretty flexible schedule and am very open to helping with your needs for your fur baby. I do work a full day on Tuesdays and partial day on Wednesday’s. I will be happy to follow your instructions and schedule for your pet in your home or during walks. I am very courteous of others property and would treat your Home and pet as if they were my own, if not better.

Star U.
“I boarded my two ESAs with Star when I went on a week long trip. They're very affectionate and are bonded animals so I was hesitant about leaving them. They were able to board in one suite together, a big plus for me in terms of both costs and the pair of them benefiting from each others' company. Star was very attentive to my explanation of their food and routine and even sent a couple photos and a video while they were there to reassure me they were doing well. I would definitely use this service to board my cats again and would recommend to anyone looking for competent and caring supervision for their pets while they're away.”
