Dog Sitters in Alpine, NY

My family and I love Almost Home, but more importantly, our dog never wants to leave when we pick her up! The care that Susan and Lee give to the dogs and their owners is amazing, from reservation to pick up. Their reception area is clean, cozy, and full of dog toys. The first time we took Rosie there, Lee took her out to play and Rosie was instantly comfortable with him, and with Susan as well.The dog's rooms are great - functional yet comfortable, and our dog loves the indoor-outdoor run. Our lab puppy is a bit boisterous, so they made sure that when she played with other dogs, she only played with dogs that matched her energy level. The dogs' safety is clearly their top priority. They have convenient pick up and drop off hours, and sometimes they even send pictures while we're away. From start to finish, Almost Home provides a wonderful dog boarding experience. Highly recommended!!

I have left my 2 dogs at Almost Home for the last 3 years. Both are anxious dogs (as is this owner when I have to be away from them). Susan is welcoming and obviously loves dogs and taking care of them. The place is clean and isn't like a kennel, it's like rooms for dogs. When I ask for the pups not to be out with other dogs, she makes sure this is what happens. I can trust the dogs are safe and happy.

We love Almost Home! We have been sending our dog Lucy to Almost Home for over 4 years and have had nothing but positive experiences. I would highly recommend lee and Susan to anyone looking for dog boarding. A very clean, friendly environment, rooms and not cages. Lee and Susan go the extra mile for each dog. They know and understand Lucy and all her quirky habits and Lucy makes herself right at home. Lucy never comes home freaked out from being boarded and to me that is a great testament to the care she receives at Almost Home. Susan has even sent pictures when I was missing Lucy! It truly is Almost Home for my dog!

I would recommend using almost home to anyone, including those to who have never boarded their pet. This was our first time leaving our dog for an entire week. They made sure she was comfortable and felt right at home. Their facilities were really clean and each dog had an individual room. They even sent me pictures of Luna while I was away! Luna didn’t even want to come home with us when it was time to pick her up!! Luna rates Almost Home five stars as well :) we’ll definitely use them in the future!

We feel so lucky to be able to get away knowing our dog is so well cared for. We fortunately found Almost Home years ago and we have had outstanding experiences through the years. Our dog is obviously exceedingly well cared for while he is there. Susan and Lee know their dogs so well and really set all of their pets up for successful, adapting little detaisl to meet every pets needs- getting lots of outside time and socializing time. It is impressive how tuned in they are to their animals and the great environment they provide for their boarders. We feel so lucky to have them.

We have had many dogs over the years and have always felt uncomfortable leaving them when my wife and I traveled. We have had experience with many kennels and even dog sitting people. Over the last 7-8 years we have been boarding our dogs exclusively at Almost Home Dog Boarding. Our dogs have never seemed traumatized in any way when we pick them up. The discomfort of missing our dog for the period of time we are away is softened by the knowledge of how comfortable and happy our dog is at Almost Home. It is not just the physical differences from other kennels, it is the warmth and caring that Susan and Lee display every time without fail. If you love your dog, we highly recommend that you board them at Almost Home Dog Boarding.

I have been using Almost Home to board my dogs for 3 1/2 years. I have two large German Shepherds. I checked out every other boarding facility in the area and none of them are as nice as Almost Home. I especially like the fact that the dogs can be inside and go out the doggy door and see each other outside. Also the floors are heated and the room is not a cinderblock cubicle it looks like a kids room. Nice touch. The dogs are also given play time outside each day and that is important. The most important thing for me when I am traveling is knowing my pups are safe and when I leave them off with Susan and Lee I know they are safe and in very good hands. My pups are truly Almost Home.

Almost Home exceeded our expectations! We left our dog, Milo, here for a little less than a week as we traveled to a friend's wedding. The owners, Susan and Lee, were very helpful and quick to respond to my emails. They seemed genuinely interested in Milo so that they could give him a good experience. During our trip, we received several updates and pictures, which helped put our minds at ease, since it was the first time boarding our pooch. When a line of storms prevented us from flying home and made us a day late to pick up our dog, Almost Home was very accommodating, and set up an alternate pick-up time. No hassle whatsoever. Wonderful service for a price that didn't break the bank. We'll definitely bring Milo back whenever we need to go out of town again!

We have been taking our dogs to stay at Almost Home for over 7 years. Lee and Susan have taken care of our elderly golden retriever, Tess, our difficult rescue, Merrilee, and our highly active rescue, Finny. Each dog required a different touch and amount of care. Regardless of their individual needs and personalities, we are confident that they each had their needs met and had a special time while they could not be with us. Susan and Lee get that these dogs are our children and treat them with the care and love they deserve. I can't imagine bringing my dogs to any other place. Almost Home isn't a kennel, it's as good as home for our pets.

We've come to learn that it is us, not our dog, that feels bad when we leave him at Almost Home. He loves it there and is treated like a part of Susan and Lee's family. I highly recommend boarding your dog here. You won't have to worry one bit while you are away because your pet will receive excellent care!

We had to make an unscheduled trip to Florida last week and needed to board our Boston Terrier. He’s not used to being left in a kennel but Shelly and her husband took very good care of him. We were very pleased with how he was treated there and will definitely use them again! Thank you Shelly!

Shelly and Brandon are terrific! We had to board our dig unexpectedly and they were terrific in accommodating us:)

I dropped off my lab mix there once for a vacation because my mom always used them. I'll probably go somewhere else, if only for the fact that they didn't care that my dog was on a training regimen and refused to adhere to it at all. It was only a clicker, and it had to be clicked when she ate and got a treat, when they refused to do it I wanted to take her somewhere else but I didn't have the time to make new arrangements for her. It's poor service, if you ask me. Otherwise, she came back happy and healthy. If your dog has any kind of special needs or some kind of training regimen, find someplace else.

Can not be any happier. I called literally at the last minute and they took our dog without issue. They took great care of our dog and we had a worry free vacation. I would highly recommend this location.

We have been using this kennel for years because Carol loves the animals in her care. The kennels are clean and warm. We wouldn't go anywhere else.

Carol has been great! Mia seems happy when we pick her up! Prices are reasonable.

We always leave our pups here when we go away and they are well cared for

Friendly kennel, first time there. Duke my chocolate Lab adjusted very well.

Very friendly and they take amazing care of our pets.

Great caring people. Your family member will be in good hands.

Bed and Biscuits is just awesome! They have been so accommodating and friendly every time I’m there. My Chocolate Lab June absolutely loves it there. When we pull up in in the morning she can’t get out of the car fast enough. When I pick her up in the evening she is worn out and if you know Labs that’s almost impossible. Especially an 8 month old Lab! I highly recommend Bed and Biscuits of Ithaca.

Staff are friendly and my first impression was good. However, there were some issues with my dog’s stay. I purchased Busy Dog Package and was supposed to get daily photo updates, but no photos at all. I even called them during the stay, they promised me they will send me photos, but not at all. Upon picking up my dog, they offered to provide me some credits as a compensation, but I didn’t get any credits at all. Back home I found a scar at the corner of my dog’s eye, but they didn’t mention it. Hopefully you will take the feedback seriously and improve.

My Golden Retriever certainly enjoys himself at Bed & Biscuit when I board him there. It shows the way he can't wait to get in the front door of their facility when I drop him off there. He is a high energy, high drive Dog and they take good care of him. He was on antibiotics and needed a skin treatment daily the last time he stayed there and the staff did a great job with that as well. The hot spot area looked well on it's way to healing when I picked him up.

Absolutely fantastic! The team at Bed and Biscuit is super friendly and my dog loves them. This is saying a lot since my boy is usually wary of new people. I’ve boarded him here twice and the second time I dropped him off, he couldn’t wait to go. He gave the team member at drop off a big hug. I love that they post photos of the dogs on their Facebook site regularly so I can see my boy and the other cute dogs while I’m away. They always looks so happy. They definitely tailor their service to the individual dog. The site is also very clean and well managed.

Bed and Biscuit was a great place for my dog! He did daycare, as well as occasional boarding, and the staff are wonderful! They do a great job of supervising dogs in daycare, communicating about and addressing any behavioral concerns that come up, and are patient with questions. My dog was always happy to get there and play with other dogs and I was happy knowing he would be well taken care of.

Five star facility and service. We boarded our two dogs for the weekend and had a marvelous experience. The dogs are both rescues so we worry about kenneling them, but the care and kindness they received was extraordinary—right down to the daily (twice in one day) email reports. We are so very grateful and highly recommend the kennel to anyone looking for a home away from home for their pets.

I was a little nervous to board my cat for the first time, but Bed and Biscuit was a wonderful experience. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable, and it seems like my cat adjusted very well. I'll definitely be back!

It is never easy to leave a pet with someone else let alone strangers. It is doubly anxiety provoking when you have to leave your pet in an emergency situation and in a new city. When faced with such a situation last week, all we could do is look on line and hope that the high reviews that The Bed and Biscuit had received were genuine. I can’t express how relieved I was to discover the gem that The Bed and Biscuit is. My pup came back happy, not stressed, and I could swear cleaner and brushed. The Bed and Breakfast is run by genuinely nice people who love dogs. They offer a wide range of options from day, to short stay, to long stay with bonus packages of entertainment for your pet. I wholeheartedly recommend giving them a try. I know we feel much more calm knowing that our dog will always be well received and happy to go there. It’s always necessary to have a boarding facility at the ready for your pet because you just never know when you’ll need one. Thank you for the great experience!

Thank you Bed N Biscuit of Ithaca for taking such great care of our puppy. Staff was wonderful and very responsive to emails/questions. The pictures showed how much he enjoyed the stay/pampering. We picked up one happy pup.

I have a shorkie, which has more of a shi-tsu traits. My wife and i left her on boarding, clean and with her medium length hair well groomed. She was supposed to stay for a week, but we were able to pick her up a day earlier. We she saw us, she was very happy to see us back, jumping and wanting to be over all over us. We took her back to the car and noticed pee smell, and followed at this, when she calmed herself down, we noticed her tail was a complete mat. She had huge mats under her ears and sticking to pee on her paws. Once at home, we gave her a full bath, but even then her paws still smell to pee. I spent 3 hours trying to undo all the mats she got at the place, but is a never ending work. I sincerely do not know how you treat dog there, leaves much to say when it comes to mine. On top of that, we left food for her that at home usually lasts about 2 weeks, and was surpeised to get a call saying her food was about to run out. In the begginig we thought was a good thing, she was eating well, but even more surprising was to hear that wasn't the case, they served her food with water (i wonder why... i a 1 and a half year dog, not an old one that has no teeth), and they throw it away. As final note, i want to thank you Bed and Biscuit staff, I spent months and many many hours taking care of her hair, and you managed to ruin months work in less than a week, something that even without taking care of her hair would result impossible at home. And please, answer this question: do you leave dogs to walk on their (or other dogs) pee? I surely do not find any explanation at how it could happen.

The best dog daycare/boarding we've ever used. Our dogs wake us up early in anticipation on days they're going and are tired for at least a whole day after. Never have to worry about safety or attentiveness.

Exceptional doggy daycare. Run by professionals. Very caring. Our dog both boarded many times and attended twice a week for almost two years. He was always eager to join the pack, running in and first getting his pets from the staff and then on to join the play. We always felt safe leaving him for boarding. Very caring staff going beyond what is expected to take care of dogs just the way owners hope. Definitely recommend to anyone who is considering putting their dog into a friendly, active, playful, safe environment.

my two dogs are in this daycare and love it there! they come home after a day of playing and having fun! The staff are caring and loving and we feel safe and in great hands. Thank you Canine Comfort for all you do!

Five stars is not enough. Our dog LOVES Canine Comfort. They're easy to communicate with and provide a wonderful service. The rules might seem overwhelming at first, but once you are in the pack, you'll understand why. It's such a well run organization and also one that treats each dog with love and each family respect.

Ellie and the entire Canine Comfort crew are a blessing. They go above and beyond for each and every dog in their care and I never worry about my pup when I drop her off. She comes home happy and tired from a day of fun and exercise with her friends. Each staff member is knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with any questions you have - and are always willing to take the extra step to make you and your beloved pup feel comfortable. I'm so impressed by the level of professionalism and genuine kindness I've experienced, and would highly recommend Ellie and the entire staff at Canine Comfort to anyone looking for a safe and loving dog daycare and boarding service.

We have been taking our dog to Canine Comfort for over 4 years now and she loves it. She gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot. They have a large outdoor & indoor area for the dogs to run around including a pool in the summer and obstacle courses outside. The dogs are able to roam from inside to outside as they see feet. When we pick her up at night I know she's had a great day playing with her friends and the staff because she's excited but also exhausted. The staff are fantastic, they genuinely care about the dogs and love what they do!!! They provide boarding but only for the dogs that attend daycare. I feel comfortable leaving my dog with them if I have to go away for a night or weekend because she knows the staff and the dogs that will be there.

This was hands down the best dog daycare in all of Ithaca, NY. The owner and employees were not only incredibly friendly but they were responsive and flexible with every single request I had, even when I made mistakes and slept in past the allowed “drop off time”. There was an in depth “interview” for you and your dog and it was all worth while. It ensured that the dogs that were part of the group would all get along and that the owners were responsible adults that could pick up and drop of their dogs at an appropriate time. Every time my dog, Piper, left this daycare facility she was so exhausted but also well taken care of. She would sleep all evening the day after daycare and the next day. Their rates were less than every other place in town and they accepted a number of different payment methods. I would recommend this place to anyone that lives nearby and hope you take your dog to these friendly workers.

All of us local pet parents can relax and find our own comfort and ease when we drop Fido or Feebie off at Canine Comfort. The doggie day care and boarding center is well staffed with knowledgeable, and attentive employees. My positive experience began after I had reached out to the center with one or two questions regarding price, services, and breeds accepted. I was able to speak directly with the owner, Ellie who made herself available to me with all of my additional questions. We had an excellent conversation that created a foundation for the kind of relationship I am looking for in a daycare provider. Ellie and her staff continuously provide the personalized care I seek and expect for my dogs, which in turn provides me with peace of mind. It matters, thanks Canine Comfort!

Canine Comfort is a very organized and safe place for dogs to interact and play.

My boxer and yellow lab have been coming here for years, not just for doggie day care, but also for boarding. I can tell you that it's a wonderful place, where the dogs are loved and pampered. Ellie and her "pack" are just amazing with our babies. I highly recommended.

Our dog Riley always comes home tired after daycare. We always recommend Pet Playhouse to fellow dog owners and we are SO appreciative of their boarding whenever we need to leave town for a few days. The staff are so very wonderful, we have been coming here for 6 years even after moving 40 minutes away.

We've been going to doggy day care at the Pet Playhouse for a few months now, maybe once a week or once every other week. I have tried one other doggy day care in Ithaca and this is far superior. It was recommended by a friend who used the kennel, and I cannot recommend it enough. My dogs come home EXHAUSTED and you really get a two for one deal, they are often wiped out until evening the next day. I know my dogs love it because they are always so excited to come. I also feel like a VIP whenever I pickup. They can see you pull in and your dogs will be in the waiting room by the time you get to the front door, which is very convenient. I used to have to knock on the door of the other doggy day care and then wait for them to round up my dogs. Not to mention the prices are extremely reasonable and cheaper than many others in the area. Picture of exhausted dog attached.

We are very happy with Pet Playhouse. This is the second summer we've left our dogs for a 2 week plus stay, being able to drop the dogs off and have a worry-free vacation is priceless. The dogs always come back exhausted and are happy to return!

I highly recommend the Pet Playhouse and Kennels for both dog and exotic boarding. My dog and two chinchillas absolutely love it here. Caitlyn is very knowledgeable and professional. The facility is also fantastic.

My dog loves it here. Dogs get a lot of play time. It is not uncommon for your dog to sleep for 2 days straight after a couple days at the Pet Playhouse.

Excellent service Caitlyn is wonderful with the dogs!!

I’ve never had luck in having this place pick up, let alone return a call to set up a tour. Not exactly very customer friendly, and doesn’t make me want to bring my dog here unable to ever reach anyone.

The staff is wonderful, and our dog always comes home happy and exhausted!

My 2 high stung protective rescue dogs love it here, they have plenty of time and space to run. Reasonable rate, very friendly.

My dog was so well taken care of by them. We went out of our way to take her there and sleep r so glad we did.

We boarded our two doggy children while we were away over the holidays. It’s the second time Woofs, Wags, and Wiggles was their temp home. We can always tell how our animals’ stay has been by their reaction when we pick them up. Our boys both seemed happy and relaxed, so we are confident they were treated well. We like the fact that the dogs can play with others as one of ours is extremely social. Plus, we saw several pictures of them that were posted by WWW team members. We recommend the place. It’s not cheap, but it’s also not exorbitantly overpriced. Thank you to the staff for taking care of our dog babies!

My Goldendoodle attends 2x weekly, since he was a pup (so a little over a year now). Auntie Tara offers not only a fun filled day for my pup to play with his best dog friends, but grooming, exercise sessions, training, and more. She has also incorporated tons of other fun, such as photo sessions, yearbooks, giveaways, and this is all within the short amount of time we have been going there. My dog knows his people there, and loves them all as much as he loves his family. I know he is in good hands with the staff there. The website is easy to navigate, and the staff is super responsive with messages and/or booking, which puts your nervous dog mom/dad mind at ease! It’s the best decision we’ve made for our pup. I can’t wait for him to be a life long member of W3. They’re his people, and have become ours too💙🙏🏽 THANK YOU to all W3 staff. Especially Auntie Tara! Checking them out is a MUST! Do your pup (and yourselves) a favor, and send the dog!!!🥰🐶

My babies get very excited when we pull into the drive. They are excited to play with their friends. As they get older, Miss Tara now offers Reiki to help with arthritic joints. This is great to help my babies live their best lives in their golden years.

My babies have been going to W3 for day care for a while now and have always been well cared for. I say "wanna go to school" and they run for their leashes! They were there for boarding for the last week and they loved it! One of dogs needed medications and they were given all week. I got daily emails and saw pictures everyday of them playing and having fun!

We’ve been using this place for a year and love it. When we first brought Luna here it was after several failed attempts at other Doggy daycares. Our fur baby was very timid so when we were referred to Woofs, Wags & Wiggles, the owner, Tara, made sure Luna’s experience went seamlessly. Tara made sure she gave me updates on Luna to set my mind at ease and very quickly Luna was jumping out of the car, eager to get into Daycare here. This place & the owner are lifesavers!!! The staff is always friendly & helpful too.

My Irish Wolfhound babies LOVE coming to WWW! They have so much play time with their friends throughout the day! Being so big, they are not easy to travel with. As a hockey family, we are on the go, and hotels dont always accommodate large puppies, even super cute trained ones. Tara and her amazing team welcome our 2 cuties, and don't flintch when our schedule changes. We get sweet updates while we are away and we love to see the facebook posts and photos. After an eventful weekend, our puppies come back worn out! We are so thankful to have a great woofs, wags, and wiggles to take care of our babies when we can't. We can't thank their team enough!

Please PLEASE think twice before leaving your pet at this facility. I know they present themselves as a fun, safe place for your dog to stay at but there are so many reasons why this is not the case. Given that they’ve allowed a number of dogs to escape the property, and one has never been found, the security of their outdoor spaces should be questioned. Also, based on the videos they post on Facebook, they allow dogs to play while wearing collars, which is unsafe (Google search dogs getting stuck while playing with collars on and you’ll see why it’s not a good idea). Bottom line - and this goes for ALL facilities you are considering leaving your pet at - demand to see the facility and outdoor play spaces. If they don’t allow you to see where your pet will be staying, look elsewhere. Ask questions. Don’t assume that a place is safe and secure based on some videos on social media. Our area has some great boarding/dog daycares but this is just not one of them. Please be careful with this one.

Fantastic! We take our pups here regularly and they receive spectacular care and attention. Socialization, excercise and basic training all in one place. Stimulating environment in the common yard for dogs to explore and play. The owner maintains training in animal first aid, etc and is truly loving of and invested in all the pets that visit.

They took great care of our dogs! We have a large aging dog that needed some extra TLC. He doesn’t like to be fussed with, but they brushed him and cut his nails, which were way over due because he doesn’t cooperate well. They were patient and gave him breaks when needed, but in the end, they got them done. They went above and beyond and we appreciate it!

We love WWW. We rescued our sweet baby and she needed some extra TLC, Tara and her staff are wonderful. Not to mention that badass doggy bus they have that picks your baby up!!!! ☺️

We love Malcolm and Mutts, it’s become a second home for our play-all-day border collie. Aaron and Kaylee treat her like one of the family, and she’s always tuckered out after her stays here. Highly recommend!

My dachshund Matilda has been staying with Malcolm and Mutts for two years now. She is a pandemic puppy so this has really helped with her socialization and bringing her out of her shell! She’s always very relaxed and tired when she gets home 😀 …

Went on vacation for a week and left Sadie at Malcolm & Mutts. Thought is would be a great experience for her. She'd be taken care of and get some training while we were gone. Literally the exact opposite is what I received. I received a broken puppy back; she was lethargic, emaciated, and scared. Sadie had diarrhea, which she has NEVER had before, just like she's never shed the way she is currently. When asked where there any issues I was told she was sick once but recovered quickly after a bland diet. I sent the food and treats she needed for the week and when I picked her up I received the dry food back. Still trying to figure out what happened to my dog but every time I asked I would receive a response that he'd then try to walk back when questioned more about it. Sadie has been on a raw diet her whole life, she's never had diarrhea, never had her coat falling out and never been afraid to go outside. I still have to drag her outside to use the bathroom. She looks and is acting like she was starved. Pictures don't lie, and if you look at the two I'm posting you can clearly see what Sadie looked like before we left versus what she looked like after her week at Malcolm & mutts. I don't recommend.

I think they have good intentions, but it's so disappointing. I used them for a while for my dog..every time he came home he smelled like poop/pee(they don't let you see the inside). I didn't have any other options, so I continued and would just tell my self it's from all the fun. I would pay the extra money for training to be done, I never got a detailed thing at the end of the day so who knows if it ever got done. Sometimes he would come home with scratches. One day he came home a gash in his ear (would post the pic but it's gory). That was my last straw, I messages the owners and got a what felt like a copy and paste response... The owners seem great, but it seems they've lost the spark they had with having the day care.

We've been using Malcolm & Mutts for about a month now for dog walking, doggy daycare, and dog boarding. I love the extra things I can book like a bath, pick up and dropoff, and training! Our pit bull Bruce is still a bit of a puppy but has calmed down after starting daycare and getting so much playtime! Aaron and Kaylee have taken great care of him and helped out with his training which has been a huge relief!

We used Malcolm and Mutts back in August for regular dog daycare twice a week. Our dog had successfully completed a trial day a few months back and we thought it would be good for her to play with dogs during the day rather than being at home alone while we went to work. The first couple of times we dropped her off, she seemed more hesitant and nervous than usual. When we picked her up, she seemed overly relieved, whining and jumping. She has been to another dog daycare before, and we hadn't experienced these behaviors from her previously. We chalked it up to our dog being nervous in a new environment, as we recognize our dog can be a bit hyper-sensitive. Fast-forward a couple of weeks and my boyfriend takes our dog to drop her off for the day at Malcolm & Mutts, she becomes so nervous that she jumps the fence and goes running down the street. My boyfriend chases after her and once he's finally able to catch her, he walks her back to the car and just left with our dog. We never asked for our money back (as we paid for a multi-day package and had a few unused days left) and they didn't contact us to apologize, follow-up, or anything. We have taken our dog back to the original daycare and she has not expressed this nervous/anxious behavior. I'm not sure what happened at Malcolm & Mutts that made our dog so nervous, but each time I picked her up and asked how she did during the day I only received positive feedback.

I dropped off my pup Sparkles for a daycare assessment and he came back happy. Aaron was so friendly, and answered all my questions. He also took the time to listen to and address my questions and concerns. Malcolm and Mutts came highly recommended by many friends and I definitely got a great vibe from Aaron. I just signed up for daycare with them and I can’t wait for my dog to go have a blast there with his new doggo friends.

Our little dog LOVES his day care days! We feel good about the care he gets when he goes to play with his friends each week. When we went away recently we boarded him at Malcolm and Mutts and he did really well there which was a big relief to us. We're glad to have found a place we trust and that our boy enjoys so much!

I used Malcolm & Mutts for daycare and boarding for over a year. Since starting daycare there, I have seen a drastic difference in Leo's socialization skills; he is much more confident and comfortable playing with other dogs. If we were still living in the area, he would still be a regular. I recommend them!

Would not recommend. Last summer, after a week of boarding with Malcom and Mutts, our dog came back home with diarrhea and was SO SKINNY. After asking Aaron if our dog had been acting strange/not eating, he shared that there was a "stomach bug" going around the dogs at M&M and that many dogs had required medicine from their vet. Isn't this something you would tell us immediately at pick up? Not when inquiring 2 days later?! Meanwhile, the huge bag of dog food (and scoop) that I had left, was gone. The bag was brand new and there should have been quite a bit left over. I would NEVER take my dogs here. We since then have found other options and are much happier - now we don't have to worry if/when we go away and can't take the pups with us. Phew!

We love taking our Maisie to Happy Tails! Our aussiedoodle has gone for day care and recently a 5 day stay while we traveled. We know Maisie is in great hands while she is there and it is fun watching her play on the cameras!!

Good place to bring your dog for boarding or doggy daycare in Corning area. Staff is friendly. Minus one star because they never answer the phone and you definitely have to book in advance through their website, so don’t expect to be able to bring your dog here if you need last minute services.

Our two pups love coming to daycare and spending the night here. The staff seem to genuinely love their job and the dogs. They are very accommodating and don’t nickel-and-dime you like a lot of other pet resorts. The only thing I wish they’d add is cameras where our dogs sleep. Other than that their yard is huge so plenty of space for the pups to play and exercise and the hours of operation are good for most occasions.

Mr Magoo and Loki loved their experience with both day care and overnights during our recent camping trip back to the Finger Lakes. We highly recommend Happy Tails as we certainly will be repeat customers every year.

My dogs LOVE coming here. Sometimes we board them for a few days as a little vacation for them and some alone time for us. They always look so happy on the cameras and they can’t control their excitement when we pull up to happy tails to drop them off! I never worry if they will be taken care of. The staff seem really attentive well trained. Thank you happy tails for giving the dogs (and us) a happy and fun vacation.

My dog spent her first day there today and clearly loved it! I could see her on the webcam running around outside, and she is pleasantly tired now that we’re home. I look forward to boarding her there in the future. The staff are kind, friendly, and knowledgeable!

Highly recommend! My non human son has been attending daycare happily on and off for 2 years. He is also safe and sound each night I have to have him boarded. The facility is clean and they genuinely care about my dog and me. Great place!!

I've been taking my dog to Happy Tails for over a year now and have probably used them at least 10 times now, some for weekends, other times for 10-14 days. All that to say, I'm really confident in my ability to fairly review them and If I could give a 10 star review on here, I would. My dog LOVES it here and he loves the people who work here the most. He's a "people person" so him having a bond with the staff is super important to me. I'm the kind of dog owner where my dog is like a child to me and I get upset leaving him behind, (he gets car sick so I've had to board him more than I would like). Every time I've dropped him off, he's happy to go inside and everyone knows him by name. On shorter stays, he's actually seemed disappointed to leave haha. It's important to mention this because my dog is phased by very few things so I never thought much about his reaction to being dropped off/picked up at HT. Due to scheduling issues on my end, I took him to another place in our area over the summer. When I picked him up from daycare, he seemed a little off but I let it go. When I brought him the next day for an over night, he did NOT want to go. So, If Happy Tails doesn't have availability, I'll cancel my plans before he goes anywhere else! I also took him to one of the week long basic training classes in the evening and that was great. During this time, I got to see the dogs that were being boarded playing in the yard and the staff knew ALL of them by name. There were at least a dozen dogs! I also really like that they do behavior tests with all of the new dogs before they can access the dog park or any of their services. My dog is almost 100lbs, but he's sensitive and submissive so knowing he's with other dogs that have gone through "behavior testing" was really important to me. 10/10 we love Happy Tails!!!

Happy tails is a reliable and safe place for our dog to play or be boarded. We've used HT several times in the last few years and it's been a hassle free and satisfying experience knowing that they're going to take good care of our pup while we're away. Booking, payment etc. is conveniently done online and webcams available to see what the dogs are up to. Absolute professionals!

While traveling on vacation we took our pup Theo here while we did some exploring of the area on our own. The employees were great to speak and work with, and Theo had a blast. We loved that they had an outdoor area for him to run around with his new pup friends. Highly recommend to other pet owners.

I took my dog to Lake Country Kennel for a day stay while my family visited Seneca Lake because we wanted to go on some hikes that aren't dog friendly. Our dog was happy when I picked him up. The kennel looks well run (good space, checks dog vaccination records, no chaos) and the owners are super nice. I recommend 100%.

An emergency came up, requiring us to find a place for our dog, Rudy, within hours. After ascertaining that he was up-to-date on his shots and medical history, Lake Country was able to take him in and give him excellent care for the next few days. The owner was extremely kind and welcoming and Rudy left a few days later, happy, calm, and having spent a lot of quality time with the other dogs there.

My family and I were planning a week long trip and needed to find a good, decent and reasonable place to watch our dog. I asked around and was told that Lake Country Kennel was an awesome place for him and that they highly recommend them. I gave them a call and even though it was short notice, they were still able to take him in. Our dog is a very active and hyper dog, when we got him back he was calm and relaxed. I honestly never thought that would happen, and they were able to do it. Thank you so much for watching our dog for us. We will be going back.

On our recent vacation to the area, we arranged for our dog to spend a couple of days at Lake Country Kennels so we could do some activities that were not dog friendly. He had a great time playing with other dogs and we got to fully enjoy our trip. The owners were very nice and responsive and we felt confident that our dog was well taken care of. I highly recommend!

Best kennel anywhere! Both Laurie and Clinton are knowledgeable experienced and caring. Our standard poodle goes to stay happily and comes home calm and rested. All the guests have large indoor runs and plenty of room to play outdoors. They get lots of attention throughout the day. Prices are great, too. Who could ask for more?

Just picked up our lab pup who stayed a couple of days. Very nice owners, the kennel is clean and our dog seemed very happy when we picked him up. He will be staying there in April and I know he will be well-taken of.

Wonderful experience. First time to board the pups and I was extremely nervous but Laurie kept my mind at ease. Went out of her way to let me know the pups were doing well with text updates. They even took a photo with my sweet boy in front of the Christmas tree. Can’t say enough good things about this place, will definitely use in the future.

I dropped my dog off for boarding today and was just blown away by how comfortable and homey it is.the grounds were just lovely. Very clean.The owner was very nice and addressed me and my dog by name right away.im very comfortable having left him there and will definately have him board with them again.it's a bit in the middle of nowhere,but totally worth the trip and honestly part of the appeal.

Took very good care of our pup for the day. Great place to leave them while you walk the Gorge. Very clean and friendly people at the facility.

Clinton and Laurie are great people and have a wonderful business. The kennels are so clean. Our German shepherd loves to go there.

Great family friendly spot. Quiet and peaceful with ample space to run and play. Several fishing spots. Grill boxes and benches as well as playground and pavilion make this a perfect in town getaway for families and small gatherings.

Thank goodness for Aaron and Woodland Kennels. The peace of mind Aaron is able to provide for my family when we travel is invaluable. Benny and Matilda, very active Beagles, have boarded many times for long stays and weekends. We are so grateful they are always safe, loved and cared for in every way. So glad we found you!

The only place I trust to leave my dog overnight for short or long stays. The kennel is very clean and cozy. I love that the dogs have access to their own outdoor runs all day. Aaron is so great with my dog who has some separation issues and she’s always easy to reach for updates while you are away. Gus loves his time at “camp” and I can always tell he’s had a great time playing and being loved on while he’s there. Thank you Aaron and family for always taking such great care of him!

Our dog has been in the care of Aaron at Woodland Kennels for grooming and overnight stays numerous times and it has been wonderful! He loves going so much that we can't say it out loud that, "It's time to go to camp" he gets too excited and can't wait. The sincere compassion and professionalism she has in her place of business makes all the difference to us and we appreciate everything she does!

The owners of Woodland Kennels and Grooming are extremely nice and very nurturing. The first time I took my dog there to be groomed she was scared because she suffers from separation anxiety and this was a new place she had never seen before. She took the time to sit down and just wait for my dog to come to her (she was so patient as it took probably a good 5 minutes) we talked about what my dog liked and what I was looking for in her grooming. When I came to pick my dog up from her grooming she was a happy girl and I could tell she had been loved on while she was there, she looked like what we had discussed and the price is very reasonable! I could not be happier with the service that I receive here and that is why I keep coming back. Thank you for being so kind hearted 💕

Aaron is great with animals! I've seen her business grow from a small room in their house to a full sized operation with roomy kennel space too! My dog has never had a problem there and I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

We have a new shelter dog, Leo, when we suddenly had to go out of town for a death in the family. Aaron came highly recommended by some friends of ours. Right I had a great feeling about this place, it’s cleaned and well kept. Upon meeting Aaron, you can see that she loves animals and cares for them very much. Leo took to her right away and didn’t even look back at me :) While we were gone, Aaron texted me updates and a video of her son playing with Leo. It helped our stressful situation knowing that Leo was well cared for. We will be back as soon as we start traveling again! Thank you!

I left my dogs here for a week while on vacation. I was very nervous to leave my dogs for this long but as soon as I met Aaron I felt so much better. I was able to text her throughout the week to check on my dogs and then when I went to pick them up I could tell they were so happy and well taken care of. Not to mention they smelled soooo good from their baths that I got them. I will definitely be boarding and grooming here from now on.

Our girl Phoebe had a good experience at the kennel. The owners are very caring and even let me text to see how she was doing. Glad to have a local kennel when we go out of town and not have to worry about our dog.

Five Stars All the way! I brought my puppy Roger to the Watkins Glen Park to do some hiking and while the campgrounds were pet friendly I found I could not take Roger to the park. Erin and the team and Woodland took Amazing care of him and we were able to enjoy all of the sites and know that our little guy was in awesome hands. The second day we took him back he just kissed and loved up on Erin and thats when I knew this place was just Awesome! Thanks so much!

Jen and James are fantastic people to work with. I completely trust that they take care of my pup and ensure she’s in a safe, fun, and comfortable environment. Their communication is fantastic, great rates, and very accommodating. I’m so glad I found this little refuge for my pup :)

We absolutely love bringing our dogs to Jen and James at the Red Maple!! Both our dogs are rescues and can be uneasy in new places but they are truly comfortable with them and are always excited to visit the Red Maple. They keep us updated everyday with pictures and details of their day. Highly recommended! - See happy puppy photos attached sent from the Red Maple during their stay!

I have never trusted bringing my dog anywhere more than I do here. She is a nervous dog and is very picky about who she likes but they have no problem taking the time Zelda needs to figure out who she’ll be buddies with. She is usually nervous with new people as well but the second I hand over the leash she’s ready to run to the kennels. They have always had no problem with special requests for things like medicine or extra brushing. Constant updates with pictures and videos are sent daily. My dog has changed so much for the better since going here so I will always use Red Maple!

We have 2 rescue pitbulls and while they are good dogs they are still "rough around the edges". We found these guys through a friend and they came highly recommended. They came to our house for a one on one training session. It was amazing and very well priced. Then both dogs went to their kennel over night. They took they time to work with the dogs. It wasn't one of those places you drop your dogs off and they are locked up the entire time. I am extremely happy with the service they provide.

We started boarding our dog during vacations with Jen and James about 8 months ago. They have done a great job helping her adjust to being a more social dog. Our dog has never given us trouble when we drop her off which I assume means she loves her time there as well. We can’t wait to start training classes very soon. Red Maple is also much more affordable than some of the kennels in Ithaca.

What a fantastic place! Jen and James are so kind and welcoming and take great care of my golden. They understand the needs of every dog. And they keep in touch and send great updates, photos and videos. I only wish Juju could go there every week!

My two fur babies had never been to a kennel prior to Red Maple. They both did great with Jen and James! They kept me updated with pictures, videos and messages. This will be there home away from home for now on! I highly recommend Red Maple!

I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Red Maple kennel. Jen regularly sends videos of my dog Gus playing with the other dogs via YouTube. It’s so nice to know he is being well taken care of and having fun when he is boarded in their kennel. Our Golden Doodle Gus is “special.” He’s nervous around new people and other dogs. Jen and James have the magic touch with boarders. They are easily able to accommodate Gus and meet his needs. We hired Jen to help us figure Gus out with training and it’s helped us out so much as a family. Their accommodations are well taken care of and I never worry when I leave him in their care. They accept Venmo which makes payment so easy. We really like this kennel and I would highly recommend this location to board your special pup.

Jen and James have shown an amazing awareness as to dog’s personality and needs! My Jasmin has a very sensitive personality. I did not say this to them before I left her, to be boarding with them. I only said she had not had a lot of opportunity to socialize. They slowly introduced her to appropriate “friends” and she had a wonderful stay. Jen sent frequent pictures and videos to put my mind to ease. When I picked her up Jen said Jasmin is a sweetheart and is very sensitive! We have since attended obedience classes for both dogs and had private consultations for my sheltie. In 2 sessions I have achieved confidence that my sheltie can be social and her bark is limited or none as we approach a new dog. It was a big hurdle that took me many years to resolve. I highly recommend Jen and James, The Red Maple Kennel.

We have been boarding our two senior beagles with Jen and James since they opened. Our girls love it there and we have no concerns leaving them there. They are well taken care of we get pictures, videos or texts every day. It is easy to see how much they both care about the dogs and how knowledge able they are.
