Dog Boarding in Cortland

“Chantal was a fantastic sitter for our puppy, who struggles with separation anxiety. She provided exceptional care, making him feel right at home and showing remarkable patience throughout his overnight stay. Her dedication and kindness were truly comforting to us. We highly recommend Chantal to anyone seeking a caring and attentive pet sitter. We're grateful for her service and will definitely seek her help again.”

“This is our second time booking with Ashley. This time we had a second puppy. She is so great with communication and pictures. Ashley and her family truly seem to enjoy caring for dogs and it’s a great feeling to know that they are so well cared for while we are gone. The outdoor fenced in yard is a huge plus and the dogs get tons of play time. Her dogs are sweet and playful and our pups came home worn out from all the fun they had. She’s great with setting routines and somehow got our 4 month old puppy that was not quite housebroken through 4 days with zero accidents. Definitely recommend.”

“Shannon takes great care of her animals. She loves on them and makes sure that all of their needs are met. Highly recommend for your pet care needs!”

“Charlie came back happy and healthy! Susan kept us well updated without needing to prompt, which was much appreciated while we were tied up on vacation it was nice to see he was being well cared for.”

“Charlie had a great time and Megan kept us updated with pictures. She was incredibly flexible with us. Will definitely reach out to Megan again when we need a sitter.”

“great sitter! my pup had a wonderful stay there”

“Alex is just great. My dog loves it there, and Alex takes good care of her. His communication is excellent and he sends pictures of her having fun. I highly recommend him.”

“Jayden was a great sitter when boarding my cat! She was super communicative and kept me updated with pictures, it was very reassuring knowing that he was being well cared for while I was gone.”

“Gracie's stay with Ashley was the first time we've left her with anyone but family in about 10 years. As soon as I met Ashley I knew Gracie would be in good hands. I appreciated Ashley's willingness to give thyroid medicine twice a day, and to make Gracie comfortable in her home, and to send a picture and report that she was happy and safe. We would definitely book with Ashley again.”

“This is our second time booking with Lorie this year! We cannot recommend her enough. Our dog instantly became a part of her family and for that we are so thankful! It’s hard to trust others with your pets but Lorie is very attentive and responsible. She always updates us with adorable photos of all of the dogs having the best time together. We hope to use her to watch our pup every time we are in town!”

About: I have taken care of furry friends of neighbors, friends and family for about 10 years. I currently work at a veterinary clinic and am also studying animal science at Cornell University. Hi! For house sitting: I prefer NOT to stay at your house at night. However, here is my schedule for most of my clients; feed/play/take out around 6-7am, feed/play/take out around 5-6pm, and let them out between 9-10pm again. Although this is the scheduled I follow, I would love to know your schedule with your pets and will try to accommodate them as best as I can! For Boarding: Your pup(s) will join into my family and interact with my two friendly dogs. There is a bell on the door so they can ring it to go out (if trained to do so). I hike almost everyday with my own dogs and typically take any dog that is boarding with me along. My dogs are rarely left alone but when they are, they are crated and I ask that dogs staying with me are also crate trained. All dogs that I board are introduced slowly to my own personal dogs and are closely watched until I feel it is safe for them all to be together. Please let me know if your dog has any type of food/toy aggression before hand so I can accommodate! Drop Off/Pick up is between 6:30-7:30am and 6-8pm the day of. Please reach out with any questions! For drop-ins/house sitting: I am happy to keep your pets on their schedule as best as I can weather that be keeping them in a crate during the day/at night or letting them roam free in the house, ect. I am willing to do anything that keeps your pets happy and stress free while you are away including walks, hikes, playing fetch, or just hanging out on the couch! PLEASE READ THE SCHEDULE THAT I FOLLOW IN THE TYPICAL DAY SECTION! For Boarding: I have two of my own dogs that are friendly so your dog will just become a part of my small pack while you are away. I hike almost everyday with my own dogs and typically take any dog that is boarding with me along. My dogs are rarely left alone but when they are, they are crated and I ask that dogs staying with me are also crate trained.

“Andrea was a perfect sitter! She sent a picture of my dog and updated me daily to let me know he was okay. I felt comfortable and safe with my pup in her home. The experience was easy! Would book again.”

“Ashley and her family were wonderful hosts for our dog, Dudley. He came back from his 4-day stay in great condition. He had good walks and lots of attention. He is a bit idiosyncratic in the way of older dogs, and that did not phase them. We really appreciated their loving care. Plus, Dudley got along excellently with their sweet spaniel, Wally! Ashley kept us well up-dated on his activity, which was reassuring, because it's hard leaving quirky old dogs. We highly recommend Ashley and her family.”

“Riya was amazing! Took time to get to know my dog and let us both feel comfortable with her, her space and her dog. Sent photos and I was confident during my time away that my dog was well cared for and was having fun. Highly recommended!”

“Excellent communication! We felt like our dog was able to have a little vacation of his own. We look forward to being repeat customers the next time the need arises. Thanks!”

“I left my pups (for the first time ever) at Erin’s and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience! I was working a 12 hour night shift and she gave me updates on the pups before they settled in for the night, allowing me to fully focus at work knowing they were warm and safe. My pups were able to sleep with Erin and her partner in their room (which the pups are used to doing at home - Caya loves snuggles)! They did a great job handling Reggie’s anxieties and they had a 17 year old Lab that my pups got to run around and socialize with as well. I will definitely be using them in the future. Very sweet people, nice fenced in yard and a very warm and dog friendly home! Thank you guys again from the bottom of my heart ❤️”

“Claudia was absolutely amazing and took such good care of our Frenchie while we were getting married. She sent lots of updates and was very patient with him. We would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

“Kylie is always my first call for dog sitting. I've known her for years, wherein she has volunteered as a Guide Dog puppy raiser, completed courses in animal science and interned with local animal shelters in their vet clinic. She is very knowledgable in both behavior and health of dogs. She uses positive reinforcement and does an awesome job with my high energy, large dog. She's caring and responsible, and my dog loves her!”

“Michaella was excellent! Having never stayed with someone else before, our dog was quickly very comfortable with Michaella. She sent plenty of photo updates and clearly gave our dog lots of love and attention. We would definitely book Michaella again in the future.”
