Dog Boarding Woodside

“Kona had a great stay at Shannon and David’s! They were welcoming and warm which made Kona very comfortable. Pictures were so cute. He loved the long walks too! We were able to have a great weekend in Ellicottville with no worries. I highly recommend them and would absolutely have Kona stay on our next visit!”

“Hi Everyone my name is Tonka! Woof! I'm 9 and a really fun girl. I love to lounge and eat, yeah, yummy eating anything!!! But don't get me wrong I love to play. I was a little shy at first but snapped out of it fast because Dana and Jeremy took really excellent care if me, belly rubs, letting me on their stuff, and setting up a king size doggie bed for me to watch all the happenings outside the window, Woof!. And they have a great huge awesome fenced in yard to keep me safe but allow me to play! And Jeremy plowed me a path but who needs that, I love to barrel and tunnel right though the snow. Even with my short little legs. Bathroom time and play time combined. It was great. Woof! Oh well they did listen very well to my mom's instructions for feeding. Ho hum, grr, well I like to eat, but they kept me to my feedings and treats allowance. I couldn't pull one over on them. Come on a girl needs to try. Woof! Well that's it for now. I won't be afraid next time my mom goes away, I know I'll get to see Dana and Jeremy and have a blast while she's away. So give them a try, you'll love it. Woof! <3 Tonks”

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.

“Alyssa was really flexible with drop off time and communicated well with me! Her house is really cool and she is sure to prioritize pet safety. She seemed to treat my dogs like her own family- they got to use the furniture which is all they ever ask for, haha!”

Kelli J.

“Jessica was great! Communication was easy and thorough. Will definitely be using again!! Thanks again!!!”

Brandon K.

“Karen was outstanding from our first communication. Our Frenchy thinks she’s royalty and Karen took care of her like a Princess. Meds, food, walks - Karen also shared many Photos and several daily updates of their days together. If you need a reference for Karen, you can contact me anytime - I’ll give her a glowing review.”

Joe R.

“Leah was great and communicated very well. She did an awesome job wearing out my dog over the weekend. She was very accommodating even with such short notice. Would highly recommend.”

Ricky S.

“Valerie took great care of our pup on short notice. She was very flexible with time, which we appreciated since we were only staying in the area for a night.”

Amanda B.

“Mary is fantastic she always sends pictures of our little fur babies playing or when they are lounging around. She is very good with our girls and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter and staying at your house. We feel safe leaving knowing that everything is in great hands.”

Nicholas P.

“Anna took my booking last minute and made sure my pup had a safe place to stay. My dog absolutely enjoyed the company of Anna and her dogs! She gave me multiple updates on his stay and also provided pictures. Anna was very responsive to any messages or questions I had. Amazing sitter!”

Kacy C.

“It was pretty daunting leaving my dogs with someone I had never met. My Boxer has separation anxiety so bad she got severe colitis last time I had to travel, so I knew a kennel setting would not be good for her. Getting pictures of the dogs completely relaxed and comfortable put my fears at rest almost immediately! Katie took excellent care of the dogs and took care on my worries as well! I would recommend her without hesitation :)”

Staci S.

“Brittany was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog and made sure she got a nice walk and plenty of attention. Our dog was very happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Brittany and will happily have her watch our dog again! 🐾❤️”

Niki N.

“Maggie took great care of Rocky and kept us updated throughout our trip. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their precious pet!”

Indhira P.

“Jennifer has been absolutely amazing through my cat’s stay. They’ve been comfortable and taken care of and she has been incredibly helpful while we’ve been dealing with a lot during a move. Would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pets!”

Martin B.

“Jessica is the perfect dog sitter. She takes great care of our dog in a safe environment. Our dog loves her too. We have used her twice and will definitely do so again.”

Katie S.

“Once again Eileen and her amazing family took care of my precious boy Kennedy. She was available last minute, in which I'm super grateful. Kennedy comes back home so relax and calm. I can say when I drop him off, Kennedy must of felt at home because went running and never looked back. Lol. Eileen always sends me reports and pictures. You definitely want to have her as your sitter for loved animal. I have a vacation coming up soon. I pray that she will be available.”

Yolonda R.

“Michelle was awesome! Our dog Mabel loved her stay and Michelle kept us up to speed with pictures and videos documenting the week. Would definitely book again.”

Joseph G.

“Logan is very chill which is exactly the type of person you want to leave your dogs with. One of my dogs does not like people he doesn't know, especially if they are men, but he acted like he and Logan were old friends when we dropped him off for his first overnight stay. Both dogs have been sleeping hard since we picked them up which means they got plenty of play time in. We will definitely be using Logan in the future and highly recommend him.”

About: I was a dog runner in NYC for 2 years, I grew up with a hunting dog, I've had multiple Chihuahuas as pets. I also have tended to all my dogs needs, included bathing and nail trimming. I enjoy all dogs company! I am a stay at home parent, so I take my dog out at least 3 times a day. I can accommodate your furry buddies schedule easily throughout the day. We have a trail through the woods to walk around as well. I have a 5 acre property with no neighbors, I also did house sitting in NYC so I follow whatever instructions are needed to make your pet as comfortable as possible.

About: Pets are in integral part of our family. I enjoy the fun they bring to the home and wouldn't trade their company for the world. I can care for diabetic and asthmatic animals. What does your pet need? I am happy to accommodate. I work occasionally this summer but virtually. I have time to walk the dog and also have a wonderful fenced in yard. I have a lot of free time to dedicate to animals. I make sure the dog feels at home. I used the fenced in yard so that they have enough space to play. I go on a couple of walks a day.
