“Great care for our very newly rescued dog. Our dog has a multitude of issues related to a possibly of being abused. He was found on the streets and in a shelter for almost 1 year related to his behaviors and his breed. Tracy was great. She has a kind and gentle demeanor and experience with dog with these issues. We had a last minute request for boarding two nights for a family wedding and she was so helpful and accommodating. Definitely will use her services again. Thanks Tracy!”

“We are very pleased that our dog was in caring hands. We regularly received photos and updates about her well-being. This was our first experience being apart from our pet, and we understand that it was unusual for her and possibly accompanied by some difficulties. But the team managed everything and showed great care. At the end of her stay, our dog even received some lovely gifts. We are very grateful for this and will definitely turn here again next time. Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️”

Super caring and very sweet, she provided a fun and loving environment for Zac that a normal kennel could not match. I would absolutly reccomend her again, and will be setting up future play dates for Zac and Freya. Thank you Debbie!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m currently a Special Education Teacher and coach all kinds of sports, but I also work at a doggy daycare and I have been there for the past 4 years. Within the building I work closely with a dog behavior specialist/dog psychologist, vet tech, dog trainer, and a groomer. Working with this wonderful group of people has made my knowledge of animals grow tremendously. I have worked with all types of dogs from puppies to seniors. Giving medications and following strict schedules!! I work full time as a Special Education Teacher and also coach after the school day. Most days my dog attends doggy daycare but when she doesn’t I go home after work and we go on a walk before I have to go to practice. I have a one and a half year old Golden Retriever named Poppy who is extremely friendly and thinks anything that has a pulse is her friend. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I do have a 20 foot lead to let your dog run around and play outside. I also have plant of extra leashes, harnesses, and collars incase we go for a walk. I can also crate your dog if needed. I do have a medium sized dog crate as well as a puppy play pen incase your dog needs to be separated.

If your pet follows a regular routine or schedule I would be happy to follow it also. Your dog would be with me on the main floor of my home. He/she would be walked if that is what they usually do and can have outdoor time in the yard either on a run or within a small play area. I would be with them. I have had plenty of experience with medications if needed.

“Vanessa took great care of our Lady, a 6 month old berner pup. She worked with her on tricks and socializing with the other dogs while allowing her to play outside in the snow and taking really good care of her. Would love to have her dog sit for us again and Lady would agree”

“Research & clinical shadowing outside of NY meant I had to find a pet boarder this summer for my cat. I wanted to make sure he was left in good hands; Tyler was an outstanding sitter for my Mango 🥭🐈 Tyler took care of Mango like his own: taking him to vet visits, making sure to play with him, & sending me frequent updates. Thank you so much Tyler!”

Kendal G.

“Thank you so much! Mango has the best time with you! Thank you for being great and communicating updates.”
