“Whitney and Kevin were wonderful! They were great communicators and sent multiple picture updates throughout my dogs stay with them. It was clear that they took great care of him and he looked so happy in all of the photos they sent. I will absolutely use them again in the future!”
“Kirsten was amazing. My girls felt right at home & were well taken care of. I couldn't have asked for better communication while the dogs were in her care & she went above & beyond take sure the girls were comfortable & their needs were met. If she could travel with us as a full time dog sitter, I would take her without hesitation. By far the best experience I have ever had when seeking care for my dogs!”

“Top tier Dog Sitter. I was in a bind and she was able to help me out even though it was last minute. Can’t say thank you enough for everything.

“Nicole was a lifesaver! After getting over booked at a kennel during Cooperstown Baseball season, she came to my rescue. Great communication, flexible, easy to work with, updated me with pictures and she even trimmed my puppy nails. Highly recommend her.”
“Gilbert was fantastic with Chance. I received at least daily pictures and updates on how Chance was doing. Gilbert also dropped in to take care of my cat while we were away and did a wonderful job with him too. I appreciate everything Gilbert did and would not hesitate to hire him again. He is the BEST! Thank you Gilbert…. Until next time! 😁😁”
“Mikayla was super accommodating to our hectic schedule and helped work around some funny times that we had. She sent picture updates of my dog and her response time was fast whenever I had questions or was just checking in. We did a meet and greet before boarding to make sure she was a perfect fit for my crazy goofy dog and it was a sure hit! I felt safe and comfortable leaving my dog with Mikayla and I will definitely be using her services again for future boarding. 10/10 recommend!”

“Gil's calm and thoughtful demeanor immediately inspired trust. His care of my cat was flawless. I will request Gil next time I am away. I recommend Gil without reservation.”
About: Quality pet care, mixed with love, exercise, fun, and safety. That is what I'm all about. I have loved pets since was younger, and first started working with pets as a pet sitter/dog walker. I loved getting to know fur babies and what makes them happiest. I like bringing new buddies home for Lui and mostly I like helping people have a little more time by taking amazing care of their loved ones while at work. I'm happiest when I'm with my pup Lui. He's soon to be 2 years old and still is my spoiled little boy. The love I have for Lui is the love your baby will get when booking with me. We go on walks, we learn new tricks, and get lots of exercise! The more energy the better! I've also had experience dealing with pets with anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Not new to taking my time to build trust and offering a separate space to a dog who needs it. I have cameras in my house offer peace of mind that your loved one is safe & see all the fun we have when indoors, like TV time or tug of war. It's always a fun time and I'm always here for it. I organize my schedule mostly to work with pets full time, my work occupies me from 4 AM to about noon and work 5 minutes from my house with liberty to stop in at any point. Most days I am here through the mornings too so your furry loved ones get undivided attention. I only book dogs in time blocks of 5 hours, so I am never over crowded when it comes to boarding or day care. I like to be sure each pet is taken care of personally and effectively. Pet-Sitting: Often this service for me changes based on owner preference. It requires more in depth detail about the home life of the pet. One reason for this is to ensure I am not interrupting any routines the pet may have. Boarding & Day Care: I treat all pets as if they were my very best friend. We have tv time together (Dog TV), we go on two 30 minute walks within the 5 hour time block. We even eat meals together. Being that my yard is unfenced I personally walk the dogs on leash for 30-45 minutes. Meals for pets are based on owner specifications. Overnight boarding being different in a sense of they get one night walk before bed time/wind down time. They are uncrated (unless the owner specifies to do so), so they have full use of the living area and pets are allowed to be on the furniture purchased for them (Although I am not new to waking up and them being on the couch!)
“Elizabeth performed brilliantly -- she completed all requests without fail and provided plenty of photographic and written responses. She was timely in arranging service initially. And she managed the visits and house key drop-off well. We appreciated her willingness to commit to providing care with short notice. Thanks!”

“I can’t thank Gil enough for the attentiveness, caring, and love he showed to my 15 yr old dachshund! Gil took the time to listen to my wife and me when we described to him our pup’s tendencies and hinderances. We felt confident as we pulled out of the driveway that our old guy was in great hands! Gil made sure to send us photos of our pup throughout the day, as well as updates on its evacuations (very important for an older dog). Overall, I can say unequivocally that Gil was a perfect sitter for our elderly pup, and I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a pet sitter in that area! Kudos, Gil!”

“Heather was great with my little guy. I was heading to Cooperstown for a few hours and needed a place for him to stay while I was out and about. Heather sent me pictures and updates the few hours she had him. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend using Heather to watch your dog!”
“Dennis and Dayna were wonderful and kind. Buster and Brin did so well we decided to book them for another day. Buster enjoyed the play time and came home nice and tired. Would not hesitate to used Dennis and Dayna again to care for my fur babies.”

“Megan does twice a week drop in visits/walks with my 11yo pitbull who adores her. Megan is super communicative, accommodating with scheduling and always sends the cutest pictures of Stella. We’re super lucky to have found Megan!”
“Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.”
