Doggy Day Care in Ithaca

“Alex was super communicative before, during, and after Jack’s daycare visit. He made Jack feel very comfortable when we arrived and was attentive to any extra care he’d need as a senior dog. Jack will be back!”

“I cannot overstate what a lifesaver Jennifer was on our vacation. We had an air BNB that allowed dogs, but not unattended and were visiting friends with a cat who turned out to be dog phobic. We booked Jennifer the day before we left and she was so welcoming and flexible with pick up and drop off times and with her extensive kennel hours. My dog loved her own special vacation; with puppy playtime and hiking in the woods. She came home relaxed and super tired! The true marker of her own good review, was how happy she was to go back the next day! Thanks, Jennifer :)”

“Hiedi was over the top great! She went above and beyond to give my dog Archie a great first daycare experience. She went to lengths to make sure he was comfortable with her dog, and vice versa. He came home totally happy, relaxed and tired. He can't wait to see Hiedi and Kenzi again!!”

“You have never seen an individual love and care for animals more then Kyle Jensen! Not only does he have a life time of experience, having grown up on a farm, but he has an immense sense of love for all living things. He is kind, patient, and responsible. I have yet to see an animal not fall immediately in love with him upon meeting. Kyle would be an ideal rover candidate!”

“Michaella is kind and great with my dog. She took Maple for a nice walk and took good care of her. Thank you so much”

“Pistachio loved spending time with Kelly and her pup! Kelly was super communicative and sent us tons of regular pictures that kept us at ease. Would highly recommend!”

“Our dog Indy has separation anxiety so we are always hesitant to leave him with others. All of that hesitation melted away when we met Claudia! She is such a caring individual, and she was truly able to get Indy to come out of his shell and relax while staying with her. When I picked Indy up he was calm and relaxed and seemed like he actually wanted to stay with her! And Claudia's communication was excellent as well. All the photos really put our mind at ease.”

“Ashley has been a life saver for me with her flexibility to watch Chloe on very short notice. With Ashley's knowledge and personality I know Chloe is being well taken care of and she feels right at home with Ashley.”

“One of the best sitters I've used on Rover. Very quick reply, very accommodating. Extremely smooth experience! I'll definitely use this walker again!”

“Lorie is a wonderful person who cares for my dog as if one of her own. My dog is shy and has a bit of anxiety. Lorie was patient with him as he became comfortable with his new surroundings. She kept me posted with each visit. It is a great feeling knowing that my fur baby is in good hands and happy. I look forward to working with Lorie again!”

“Super sweet family with the space, time, and love to share! My pups were happy and tired when I picked them up after daycare. Thanks so much!!!”

“Yuxin was so wonderful with our puppy this week! He was so excited to see her in the mornings and returned relaxed and happy when we picked him up. Yuxin gave us regular updates and photos and was always prompt in her communication. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup 😊”

“I highly recommend Andrea as a dog walker. She is a true animal lover who takes great care of all the dogs in her care. She is reliable, trustworthy, and always goes the extra mile. She always makes sure that dogs in her care get plenty of exercise and attention. She also takes the time to get to know each dogs personality and needs, so she can tailor her walks accordingly I would not hesitate to recommend Andrea to anyone who is looking for a dog walker. She is a wonderful person who loves animals and takes great pride in her work. Sincerely, Matt”

“Wenting did a great job with our super anxious pup while we went to Cornell graduation. She sent us photos and videos and took Luna out for a nice walk. I was very reassured knowing she was a future vet. I highly recommend her for anyone needing dog sitting in Ithaca.”

“So wonderful!!! Made my dog Peggy so comfortable and she has such a good time.”

“Gabby is the perfect fit for any pet owner in need of some help! I've seen her care for many animals, including my own dog, and have been thoroughly impressed with her patience and caring nature. She's a huge dog lover, so your pet will be in great hands and get plenty of love!”

“Claire is a lover of people and pets. She’s helped me take care of and train my two dogs and she treats her cat like it’s a human baby. She is one of the most punctual and responsible people I know.”

“I have seen Izzy work well with a variety of dogs and I have not met a dog that does not love Izzy and enjoy her calming company. When she met my two standard poodles, they immediately warmed up to her, wanting her to play fetch with them and cuddle on the couch. We also were able to foster a puppy together for about 7 months from a shelter and she had so much patience and love for her. Gwen (our puppy) had some behavioral troubles as she was a very anxious dog because she was a stray as a puppy and Izzy worked with her everyday to train Gwen and help her get more comfortable in this world. She was able to help teach Gwen how to walk on a leash and how to have good recall in the local Ithaca dog park where Gwen was able to make friends with other dogs. Because of her experience with Gwen, she has a good sense for when dogs are anxious or showing signs of fear which is helpful when dog sitting for new dogs. She also has dogsat for dogs with a variety of needs from having to take medication at certain times to helping dogs fulfill mental and physical enrichment through games, walks, dog park playdates and food enrichment. Izzy is a great person to have in your dog's life to help when you are traveling, at work or just want your dog to have another person to play with.”

About: I grew up on a farm, and I've taken care of animals ever since I can remember. I'm comfortable with horses, dogs, cats, cows, goats, chickens, and more. I've also served as a foster care provider since I was 15 when I lived with my parents. I also volunteered at a local rescue shelter and worked as a doggy day care counselor at Camp Bow Wow. I would have pets of my own right now if it weren't for the cost of care and the way I move around frequently. I'm currently a full-time student, but I still have plenty of time to care for your pups! My schedule is very flexible as I do most work online and from home. I live in a spacious apartment (in a renovated house), but I have a (very) pet-friendly landlord, a balcony, and a fenced yard. Not to mention several nearby parks!

About: Since I was a young child, I’ve always loved animals. So when my neighbors need someone to care for their babies, it was a no brainer! I would do overnights at their house and take their dogs on walks. I always wanted my own and I have a dog now, Hinah and she’s the apple of my eye! I’ve taught her all the basic commands and we are now working on the fun stuff! I also am my own groomer! Super lucky that my dog loves baths. I am currently working part time, but my schedule at work is very flexible. As long as I have prior notice, my bosses are good with giving me breaks for walks if needed. Also I walk my own dog 3 times daily so I definitely can make time for more. I personally crate trained my dog. She no longer sleeps in the crate at 2 years old, but she still has the discipline. I will treat your animal just like my own. If you have any special rules or needs, I can totally accommodate that also. My house is clean and big free! I vacuum daily and yes, animals are allowed on my couch!
