Dog Boarding in Northwest Ithaca

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.

These sitters were available and flexible as my needs changed. I am grateful for their help.and care of my dog for several days and nights. Thank you Kaylee and Aaron! I will be calling on your services again.

Great communication and care, our dog clearly got tons of attention and exercise. Thank you!

Penelope and Hamilton’s second time and they love it from the pictures we receive regularly. We don’t even think about them until Alex sends a picture…then we feel bad we didn’t think about them. 🤭That’s how comfortable we are.

Our dogs had such a great time! They're really happy to visit Robert and Eileen and Huckleberry and Sydney and Finn, and have gotten to feel very comfortable with them. We're just so lucky to have connected with these wonderful people :-)

So happy to have Andrea to watch our dog. She is lovely and kind, has clean house, and is really truly a dog lover. Will definitely book again 👍

Destiny took amazing care of my 3 year old golden retriever! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of picture updates! I felt reassured that my dog was in great hands.

Max & Kyle we're INCREDIBLE to work with. They were responsive, easy to communicate and schedule with. They sent us videos of our puppies having a blast. We so look forward to future bookings with them and would recommend with all 8 paws! 🐾

Susan did an excellent job caring for my cat, Amy. She contacted me with updates every day, including pictures. I will definitely hire her again. 🙂

Rose was wonderful! She kept my dogs longer when my flight home was delayed. My girls loved getting to play in her fenced in yard. Bonus: she takes amazing pictures of your pets!

Kathy and Tim are loving and reliable sitters. My dog, Rocky, was content and happy which allowed me to relax and enjoy my trip. They were careful to follow Rocky's needs per the information I provided and have a fenced yard which he enjoyed. I definitely recommend them to anyone for the care of their dog and thank them !!

I left my 2 year old chihuahua with Jessica and her family, who were so great with her. They welcomed her into their home as their own and cared for her so well. I would definitely recommend Jessica for someone to treat your pet as their own and know they are getting the best attention and love when you are away. Thank you Jessica!!

Claudia really really likes dogs, and it shows. My dog photos were always active but safe. She kept telling me how cuddly they were. I also got good guidance on choosing a vet for my aging dog. Claudia's fabulous.

Laura was AWESOME! Our dog thoroughly enjoyed her stay. Laura sent us lots of amazing photos during our trip, which really put us at ease! We will absolutely use Laura again!
