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.”

“Ashley and her family took wonderful care of my Siberian Husky for a week while I was traveling. They sent daily updates with photos and made sure he had lots of play sessions, regular feeding times, potty breaks and loving care. I would use them again, overall a great dog boarding experience!”

“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!”

“This was the best Rover experience for me! Susan made sure my dog is safe and feels comfortable. My dog easily gets nervous with strangers, but she got used to the new environment faster than normal. I felt like Susan is really good with handling dogs too because she has great amount of experience with dogs. I really appreciate her updates, photos, and all the accommodations she has made for us. Thank you!!😊”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Remi had a good time at Alex's house. Our one year old GSP is very spoiled and a velcro dog, does not like to be alone and Alex cared for him and tired him out with hikes and play. I recommend Alex and his family for taking on such a huge responsibility and loving our pets like their own. Thank you Alex for providing pictures and a safe place for Remi .”

“Ashley and her family provided a home away from home for my dog, Lola, while she received radiation treatment at Cornell. Throughout her stay, Lola was happy and comfortable and Ashley was responsible and reliable. Ashley drove Lola to and from treatment everyday Monday - Friday, administered medication, spoke with the veterinarians, and followed through on all of the recommendations for Lola. It was a stressful time for me because Lola was going through a lot, and I couldn’t be there to comfort her. Ashley assured me everyday with messages and pictures of Lola. We originally booked with Ashley for the first week of Lola’s treatment, but rebooked for the following two weeks. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! Lola’s treatment would not have been possible without her!!”

“I know Gulliver had a great time because when we went to pick him up he greeted us but then was ready to walk around Lorie's yard so clearly felt at home. We will definitely use Lorie again!”

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.

“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.”

“Kyle was great for our young blue heeler Shadow! Our dog needs time to warm up to new people, and Kyle was very comfortable with that process. Upon first meeting, Shadow growled at him and snapped at the air a bit but Kyle was not bothered and knew to ignore Shadow at first. After some time, Shadow was asking him for belly rubs. Before leaving Shadow with Kyle we arranged two visits between him and the dog to make sure they were friends. Kyle was very accommodating and happy to take that extra time out of his day. I really appreciated his willingness to do that. During their time together, Kyle sent photos and updates every day. Right away from the photos we could see that our pup was relaxed and settling into spending time with his new human friend in the house and on walks. Shadow even got to sleep in bed and sit on couches (like he does at home...) Knowing everything was OK for both of them really helped us enjoy our trip. Big thanks to Kyle!”

“Andrea took great care of my lil pup on her first overnights without me. She was communicative, has a fenced in yard, a great dog walking neighborhood and I would love to have Rox stay with her for future trips.”

“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!”

“I’m so happy to have found Shelia to watch my pug baby Luna. Shelia has such great energy and it carries into her work and care for animals. I had no problems and Shelia sent me photos/videos! I’ll for sure book again.”

“Claudia is wonderful! She took great care of our very anxious dog, provided lots of walks and playtime for him, and she sent many updates and photos throughout his stay to let us know he was having a good time. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“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 ❤️”

“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.”
