Dog Boarding in Newark Valley

Alex watched my two dogs for 5 days while I was away on a trip and was excellent! Very communicative and accommodating for drop off and pick-up, making things very easy. He sent tons of pictures and updates on how they were doing and all the fun they were having. They had a great time running, playing, and wading in the pond. Would absolutely recommend Alex for any boarding needs!! He was exceptional.

Caterina is so warm and hospitable. You can tell she loves taking care of our pups! She is very organized and specific so that things run smoothly and the dogs don’t get stressed. They have full run of a part of the house and get lots of opportunities to play together outside or take a walk, she says. The “meet and greet”was new to me, but I see the value. Caterina tuned into Bogie from the start. TIP: It would be helpful if ROVER and/or the pet sitter specified the TIME WINDOWS for dropping off and picking up. Also is the “daily” charge for EACH NIGHT or for EACH 24-HR period? ALSO when a person requests “3 nights” (or days), it is the practice of hotels is to CHECK OUT on the FOURTH ONE BY A CERTAIN TIME. ROVER really caused me angst when they messed up my request for THREE NIGHTS and Kyle scheduled pickup BEFORE the third night. The SITE IS VERY “UNFRIENDLY” about modifying a booking. I was desperately trying to figure it out for over an hour and then I texted Caterina and she said I could have just contacted HER! What a waste of my time and a lot of frustration. ROVER NEEDS TO FIX ALL THIS. I can’t recommend it the way it is now. I was beside myself two days before my vacation trying to get things corrected. Pickup and Drop off times were never specified. People picking me up for the trip had to change their time. It would have been helpful if I knew what kind of window I had w/ pet sitter. HAD TO DRIVE an EXTRA 80 mins that morning, then jump in car and go the 6 hrs north right by her place. Found out (after the fact) as early as 4am was good. WISH I HAD KNOWN!! Not sure where it is written… I wish it was specified somewhere; it would eliminate much unnecessary back and forth texting to get the logistics down.

I highly recommend Shanea. She truly treated our dog like her own.

Noodle, at two years old, is a bit of a handful but Andrea took the puppy exuberance in stride. My dog seems entirely happy and well-cared for and tried hard to lick Andrea’s face as we said goodbye — a testament to her kindness, I think!

Thank you Alexandria and family for taking care of our Charlie while we were away for 7 days. It great to not spend any time worrying about him while were were away enjoying ourselves on vacation. NK

They were absolutely wonderful with my big dog. He was anxious at first, which can happen in a new environment, but they were so patient, kind, and understanding with him. They kept us updated and let us know he eventually relaxed and warmed up, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear he was being well cared for and treated with real attention and compassion. We would not hesitate to book with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and great with dogs.

Great experience with our two doggies! Very easy to work with and did a great job keeping us up to date with things. Thank you!

Caring, reliable, and mature sitter. After two time expereince, we are looking forward to the new interactions in the future. Highly recommend!

Erin is very nice. My dog was absolutely happy and didn't want to leave

Amelia did a great job watching my dog! She sent pictures and gave me updates about how their days had been going. I felt completely reassured my dog was being taken care of and loved while I was away.
