Cat Sitters in The Vly, NY

What a smart, effective, generous trainer Doreen is. It’s not just that she’s so clearly knowledgeable and experienced, but that she really took the time to understand the interplay between Boo, our pup, and us as his people (we needed training too). And she brings a wonderful balance of firmness and love to the training sessions. Boo is a rescue with a lot of southern hound in him. He’s VERY puppy but Doreen’s approach has worked wonders for all of us. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

Doreen was very helpful with my yellow Labrador Josie. She gave clear instructions and showed me simple and direct ways to use them. Her methods are as much for the owner as for the dog! I would recommend her to anyone who needs training for their dog.

Doreen has a true passion for animals. Her patient ways, focus and dedication to training results in wonderful pets. She first trained our beloved Frisco. He was just amazingly well behaved, understanding verbal commands and hand commands—and we could take him anywhere even though he was a large dog. We then asked her to train our rescue pups (brother and sister). They too are beloved members of our family and we always get compliments on how well they behave. We could not have done it without Doreen. They are all large dogs that needed training. It was the best decisions to hire a professional that knew the right techniques for each of the dogs. We will always be grateful. Doreen has a gift and we are the lucky ones that get to enjoy that gift because we get well behaved dogs that become very special members of our family.

Taking lessons with Doreen has been the best thing we could have done for ourselves and our pup. We and Bear have learned so much in only a few lessons it’s been tremendous. Doreen has been amazing to watch interact with Bear - he just understood what she wanted very quickly and we were able to follow up on those instructions. We absolutely recommend Doreen and Angel Paw Dog Training. We found Doreen to be extremely kind, gentle, respectful but firm and above all completely in tune with Bear so that while working on one command if it turned into learning about another one we addressed that also. We are so glad we did this. I think Bear enjoyed it too! Thank you Doreen!

It had been a long time since we’d dealt with a young puppy. When we brought Maia home, we fast felt overwhelmed. Doreen came in and, with simple but effective solutions, took the stress away. Maia is 11 months now, and not without her challenges, but getting things right in those early days made all the difference, to set us up for success. I strongly recommend anyone with a new pup work with Doreen.

We did a dog training cram course via YouTube university in the two weeks before our new puppy Archie arrived. We were prepared... on paper. As per the 3-3-3 rule, after three weeks with us our docile rescue pup suddenly turned into a velociraptor/land shark. He was still sweet & we were glad he wasn't scared any more, but also overwhelmed & unsure whether any of our chairs & clothes would survive his adolescence. We were smart. We called Doreen. At our introductory training session, we learned even more than Archie did. Doreen provided us with a framework upon which we can build a deeper relationship with our dog while helping him learn to listen & build impulse control. We all still have a lot to learn, but now we know how to go about it & whenever we get stuck again, we know who to call. Thank you, Doreen! You changed everything for the better.

Doreen's knowledge of dogs- their instincts, their behaviors, combined with (maybe as a result of)her overwhelming love of them makes her an invaluable resource if you want to have the best relationship with your k9 you can have! I thought I had a good understanding of my pup but Doreen provided so much great insight. It was as if I was viewing my pup under a 40 watt bulb, and she unscrewed it gave me a 100 watt!! A lot of "ah-ha" moments, even for an old school know it all like me!! Highly recommend!!

Doreen was truly an angel! Her knowledge and experience was so helpful to us. Through basic sit , stay to create training, she was supportive and understanding. Our pup loved his visits! Thank you Doreen for helping us raise a wonderful fur baby.

Doreen is by far the best Dog Trainer of all time! Doreen has infinite patience for her four-legged students as well as the two legged owner, in my case, needed more training than the dog!Beyoncé’s is a sweet miniature poodle puppy who was in need of guidance and consistency which Doreen gave us and she has grown up to be the sweetest pup! We also have an elderly mixed breed who also learned quite a bit from Doreen! She has infinite patience with Beyoncé, as well as Charlie her elderly counterpart. They learned how to sit, stay, etc all the basics and we also received tips and recommendations concerning house training and also basic day-to-day behavior concerning the dogs getting along. Doreen was there every step of the way, and still is. If I have questions concerning how to proceed with Beyoncé‘s training or behavior Doreen is the expert I reach out to!

Angel paws and Doreen are a Godsend. I called her for help, knowing I may not be able to save my dog. She talked to me, listened intently and gave me direction. Three week later and we have our boy back. I owe my dogs life to this lady, and can't thank her enough. My husband, I and Remy send her our heartfelt gratitude and love for giving our boy back to us. If you are having a problem with your dog, call Angel Paws. You won't regret it for a second. She will do her best to help you.

Cat care extraordinaire

Dawn’s Dog Boarding is an excellent choice for giving your dogs a safe and structured environment when you are away. Dawn is a clear communicator and what really impressed us is the care and attention to detail in the information she collects about the specific preferences your dog has do she can give them an exceptional and thoughtful experience when they are in her care. Her fenced yard and cozy places to lay inside gave us peace of mind when we trusted Dawn with the care and feeding of our guys, zeke and Quince.

There is only one place I would take a dog I own. Dawn's Dog Boarding is the type of business that clearly loves what they do. The level of care and attention dogs receive is unprecedented. I know that when I bring Oona to Dawn's, she is going to have a really nice stay and come home tired and happy. I have known Dawn for over 30 years and I can say that she is responsible, loving and experienced. These are things that pet owners want from the place they leave their beloved animals. Check out Dawn's Boarding. There is a reason she keeps winning all of the awards and accolades!!!

Our dog Biscuit seems very at home when she stays at Dawn's Dog Boarding. We can see this through the photos shared and observing her being completely relaxed when she returns home. The setting is clean, provides plenty of exercise and good TLC. Dawn and her staff keep our dog safe by introducing her to the pack in small groups when she arrives and matching her with similar energy levels for her stay. We have many choices for dog boarding in our area and from experience we know that choosing Dawn's Dog Boarding is the best choice for our dog.

Our 5 year old dog has been staying with Dawn since he was a puppy - it is his home away from home! Dawn looks after all the pups as if they were her own, and they gets lots of love and attention, all while enjoying time and space in the beautiful Hudson Valley. I could not recommend Dawn more highly!

Dawn took great care of my dog when we were out of the country for 10 days. I knew he would be well loved and cared for, and that gave us so much peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. We'll definitely leave our dog with Dawn again. Highly recommenc!

We've brought our small dog to Dawn about 3 times now, for up to a week, and she's absolutely our go-to person for this. She tends to the dogs like they were her own children, I'd say. No cages here - just big open spaces and socializing.

Dawn is amazing! She and her crew take such wonderful care of my pup Love whenever I am away. Highly recommended!

I did not know about Dawn until a few days ago. I ran in to a big problem as I was staying with family as I had an emergency and my family loved my dog but the landlord says that dogs are not aloud do to insurance so my family was told my dog had to go or they had to go. My family helped me by asking everyone they knew if they could take my dog then I was looking for a dog boarding near me and I found Dawn. I called her and left a message and she called me back in a quick amount of time. I explained to her what was going on and because she was on her way out the door for the day to meet up with friends she could not take my dog that night. Dawn did let me bring my dog the next morning. I was late getting to her and she understood. My sweet Hazel got to be around other dogs and got a lot of exercise. I would recommend her to all. Dawn gave me some information that I did not know and she gave me very good information. I will be using her again when I need a spot for my sweet Hazel to go when she can not be with us her loving family. Thank You for all you do for my sweet Hazel and all the other dogs as well. I would give you more stars as I feel that 5 stars are not enough as you are way more then 5 stars.

We love Dawns Dog Boarding! It’s like bringing our dogs to family members! We trust her and will always bring Pandora and Mystic to her! Goddess Blessings Charmaine and Steve Armatas

Our dog stayed with Dawn while we were at a wedding in the area and it was perfect! Dawn is so sweet and our pup had a great time.

I know Erica very well, she is my sister after all, but she really is amazing with people's pets. I've seen her care for birds, dogs, horses, and cats. She loves them all so much and treats them like a part of her pet family. I'm very proud of what she has accomplished, creating a fantastic business that she's very passionate about. If you want someone who goes above and beyond, Erica is the pet sitter for you.

Erica has been our GO TO Zookeeper for when we are away for a while now...we have a golden puppy, a corgi puppy and our old lady a shitzu/bichon mix as well as 2 cats...she has always taken the absolute BEST care of them when we are away, she spends time with them, plays with them, sends pics and updates for us and will even do overnights if available. We never have to worry about our "zoo" when we are on vacation while Erica is around...she is the absolute best! Wouldn't have anyone else taking care of these guys :)

Erica looked after my two cats while I was on a short trip recently. It was my first time traveling since I had moved to this area, so I had to find a new pet sitter, which is always stressful. I needn't have worried! Erica was super kind and professional and did a great job with my girls. I will definitely look to hire her again for future trips. Thanks Erica!

Thanks to Erica my husband and I now take guilt-free vacations knowing our dogs are in safe hands at home. She truly loves animals and has a great rapport with them. Plus, she’s just an all-round fun person and good business woman. Highly recommend!

BEST PET SITTER EVER! Hello All. I just wanted to take a moment to share my recommendation to anyone who is looking for a Pet Sitter. I don't normally take the time to do these things but this woman went so far above and beyond for our 18 year old Cat, Socks that I swear, she may have just saved her life. Her name is Erica ("Go-To Pet Care" on Instagram) and she was not only a "cat-whisperer" to our Sweet Kitty who had serious abandonment issues after being nearly starved to death by our last pet-sitter. So, needless to say, our family was EXTREMELY concerned about having to leave our Cat for another week this year. After literally hours of research I kept coming back to Erica with her many reviews (including from 2 Families that I know personally) and seeing that she had even taken an Animal Care Course (which considering our Cat is on 5 different Medicines and Vitamins that need to be given in different ways at different times a day since last year's debacle, is an EXTREME PLUS), we decided to Contact Erica for a Meet-And-Greet. Thank goodnes we did because from the moment she arrived, between her instant connection with our Cat and the immediate ease that I sensed with her in our home and in her abilities, I knew we had found our Cat Savior! And not only did our cat do well throughout our vacation (proof of which was texted daily including sweet pictures and our own indoor Camera monitoring our Cat's Feeding Area (Of course with our blessing from Erica prior to us hiring her), she actually GAINED WEIGHT which we have been CONSTANTLY trying to do for our Cat with the help of our Vet since we Adopted her 7 years ago as a malnourished older and wary Cat. And that, along with the fact that our home pet feeding area and litterbox area were actually CLEANER than when we left them, the fact that she spent over a half hour playing with our Cat and giving her lots of love each and attention each visit and the fact that she reached out to us about a week later to make sure Socks was still doing well, is the reason that WE WILL ALWAYS REQUEST HER FOR ANY ADDITIONAL PET SITTING NEEDS THAT WE MAY HAVE! We would even request her to take care of our home if we were taking our pet with us, as I couldn't feel more comfortable knowing our home and anyone and everything in it will be in the best possible hands. I apologize for my Reference being so "wordy" but I am just so happy to have found Erica for our needs and I would love to know that maybe I could help others who may be looking for that "special someone" that they could trust for all of their Fur-Baby(ies) needs!

Erica is a fantastic friend to our kitties! She truly loves animals and speaks their language. She's the best!

We've used Erica for many years now, whenever we're leaving for vacation. Erica has never let us down and our cats seem to like her more than us. :-)

Wow, what a great feeling knowing your pets are being properly cared for when your away. Very reliable and a great value.

They did a amazing job on my dog. Both the ladies were very respectful and take pride in there job. The little bow they put on my dog made her look so cute. Definitely would recommend them to anyone

After have a few bad experiences with other groomers (Petco and a private one) we decided to get them a shot. The person who returned my call was so friendly and kind she eased some of my concerns and made sure I know my pup would be taken care of probably. Lauren who cuts her always dose an amazing job!

Lauren has been grooming my tiny goldendoodle (mostly poodle) for 8+ months and she does a fantastic job. He’s a puppy and very wiggly yet she is so patient with him. She treats him so gentle and kind and gives a great cut every time. Really great customer service too! Highly recommend!

If you have a dog with double-backed fur, DO NOT trust in their professionalism with how to groom your fur baby. My two Shelties were shaved from head to toe bald.

As usual, Kris and her staff were terrific. They do such a great job with my dog...who has lots of hair and doesn't like the dryer. Also, while a chain groomer had difficulty trimming her nails, Kris and her staff make it look easy.

My three dogs Dewey Mini and Max looked amazing very satisfied. thank you

Absolutely best decision Petco and Pet Smart always busy and much more expensive!! Local,very sweet and great pricing!!

I brought my daughter 's miniature schnauzer to get groomed and they did a wonderful job. A very nice groomer that listened to the particular style of cut she wanted and we loved how it came out.

Super friendly and fairly quick ...did a great job on my Tank he smells great and looks like a new dog

Unbelievably unprofessional. The blond/ashen gray broad has the nastiest disposition. Why do you offer a service, like nail trim, if you avoid the client's who schedule that service. Then, to get stank over the phone with someone who's been coming there for seven years, how ballsy for the small town success story. The irony can't be lost that, I'm sure I was the only Black person who sought services from this place. I tipped $3-$4 on a $5-$10 trim where a vein was clipped and my dog's nails weren't even filed, just clipped and jagged. She didn't even remember his name, would ask his name almost every time yet, I would stand there watching her gushing over the other people pushing their way inside. The favoritism in this weird little place is extraordinary.

Tessa has helped to completely transform our lives and the life of our dog!! We felt desperately helpless to our dogs' reactivity when we first started. For many years our dog struggled to simply exist without fear - we could never introduce her to anyone in our lives without her becoming completely overwhelmed and walks were dreaded out of fear of her lunging and barking at other dogs. Tessa met us in our overwhelm with such empathy and understanding, gently guiding us to acquire more understanding not just of what to do but why we were doing it. We learned to read our dogs cues, intuit her needs, confidently advocate for her, and help her build resilience and honor her recovery. She helped us to change our frame of mind from seeing everything that was going wrong to seeing small - and eventually large - wins everyday. Today, our dog has a huge toolbox of skills to help her in moments of overwhelm or fear, she is engaged, trusting, and responsive with us, and she moves so much more confidently. With Tessa's help we even navigated a move from rural NY to a major metropolitan area without too much distress! We are eternally grateful to Tessa for supporting us in learning to provide a life for a dog in which she doesn't have to live in fear.

I have had my two dogs in training with Tessa at Hudson Valley Hounds since the summer of 2024. I contacted Tessa because I was beginning to have trouble managing the behaviors of my dogs - one has severe anxiety, and the other needs help with impulse control. Tessa comes for lessons in my home on a weekly basis. She is prompt, communicative, professional, and extremely talented. Nearly every suggestion that Tessa gives is targeted to a specific behavior and seems to work instantly, and when we are still struggling with certain behaviors, Tessa is happy to revisit the strategies suggested. She gives us homework to do throughout the week, and when I consistently do the homework, I see consistent results. Each time she leaves my house, I am in awe of Tessa's ability to interpret my dog's behaviors and develop targeted plans for each of my very different dogs. Above all, Tessa is a lovely person: a realist; a patient and compassionate listener; optimistic; humorous; honest. If you are looking for dog training, give Hudson Valley Hounds a call!

Tessa is a great trainer. She is very patient and calm, and helps you through the many steps it takes to train your dog. She is encouraging and supportive. And her use of positive reinforcement worked amazingly well for both our younger dog (who was in great need of training!) and as a brush up for our older dog too. I highly recommend you use Hudson Valley Hounds for your dog training needs!

Tessa changed our family for the better. Our buddy, Rino, came into our home as a 5-month-old Cattle Dog mix from Tennessee who was bewildered by the chaos of New York City. Fortunately, Tessa educated my wife and I in how to provide the particular tools and specific structure that would be help Rino thrive in our mad human world. He is now 3.5 and brimming with daily happiness. He has grown into such a polite and confidence young dog that we have been able to pay Tessa's lessons forward to other adopters who could use guidance in helping their dogs adapt to living in the city. What's more, Rino was with us as we welcomed a new human to the family, and his tutelage under Tessa has empowered him to effortlessly stand as a perfectly gentle, playful, irresistibly lovable older brother. Our dog and our family are happier for having met and worked with Tessa.

We would like to give Tessa of Hudson Valley Hounds TEN stars, but Google only lets us give 5. Tessa has been wonderful to work with these past few years with multiple cases of our in our rescue program. She is attentive, knowledgable, patient and so very thoughtful. Scheduling sessions is always a breeze and both our fosters and adopters have enjoyed working with her. Most importantly, our dogs really like her too, and we see results! In a world filled with balanced "bro" trainers, working with a professional who understands the science behind force free, positive reinforcement training has been vital for the success and safety of our dogs and the humans caring for them. We highly recommend Tessa for dog training the way it should be - without harm!

I’d never trained a dog before and didn’t realize what it takes! Tessa has been training me and my reactive 2-year-old cattle dog Ziggy and I’m so grateful to Tessa for all the progress we’ve made. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, positive, and supportive. The training has helped Ziggy build skills to be more relaxed and engaged, and really fostered my bond with her. Tessa has also been very patient with me and given me the skills I need to train Ziggy. Sometimes I say to Tessa, “you want me to do what?”, but when I do I always see the benefit. When I was looking for a trainer, I kept hearing about Tessa from friends and others, and they were right! I highly, highly recommend her! Thank you Tessa!

I've worked with more than a handful of excellent trainers, and Tessa outshines them all. The difference? Her compassion for and understanding of dogs matches that of her human clients. She really gets the issues dog owners have, in addition to those that naturally come up for dogs because they have to adapt to the human world. She has helped me so much with my young dog's tendency to fearfulness. Her science-based, ethical, and incredibly knowledgeable approach to shaping desirable behaviors is best for dogs' welfare--and it works. I feel so lucky to have found Tessa and Hudson Valley Hounds.

Tessa's impact on not only our dog Una's life but our own life is unmeasurable. Due to Una's fear based reactivity we're unable to have friends and family over to our home, unable to console or calm her during moments of distress, and our dog walks left us all in emotional ruin. We came to Tessa in desperation and she took us in. She taught us numerous skills, techniques, games that helped Una view the world as a little bit less scary of a place. Tessa taught us how to watch and understand the signs our dog was giving to us so we could step in before, during, and after moments of overwhelm. We recently transitioned from the hudson valley to a loud stressful stimulating big city, and even through virtual sessions she helped us all relax and trust the training. Now, she can meet new people in the home and exist in a crazy world without being completely crippled by fear. Una is a different dog after working with Tessa and we are all so incredibly grateful.

Tessa rocks. Working on a broad spectrum of skills with my new rescue and Tessa has been a tremendous help in breaking down the steps to each new skill. I was overwhelmed when I tried training independently, but Tessa makes the whole process digestible and fun. Not to mention, my dog loves her! So excited to continue working with Tessa and see my pup build confidence with all of his new wisdom.

We have been working with Tessa for over a year and she has supported our dog (and us!) tremendously. She is incredibly dedicated, knowledgeable, encouraging and kind. Our dog's anxiety has decreased and she has become more resilient thanks to all the skills and strategies Tessa has helped us implement.

I am so happy that I found Into the Pack. My boys spent the day with Ashley and Mike yesterday, and they did great. They were so well taken care of as evidenced by the photos I was sent. I'll be booking some boarding time for them very soon. Thank you so much! 8-2-24 Update - Mattie and Twitch spent most of this week with Ashley and Matt, and I couldn’t be happier. The videos on Instagram proved that they had a better vacation than I did. But that’s okay, they deserve it. I’d change my review to 10 stars if I could. Thank you!

Ashley is a wonderfully attentive and professional dog boarder. The space she has for the dogs she cares for is AMAZING!! She genuinely cares and even shared videos and pics with us to alleviate our apprehension with having our Lexi go to a new place. I would highly recommend Ashley without hesitation.

Ashley is an absolute superstar. Our puppies love being with her. She treats them as if they were her own dogs. They are always cared for and any issue that may come up is always handled immediately. The puppies get picked up every week and get dropped off at the end of their stay. It’s beyond convenient, and super affordable. We could not ask for a better dog walker. We love Ashley, but more importantly, our babies love her too. We cannot recommend her enough!

Ashley has been taking care of my German Shepherd since I first got him, and I cannot recommend her enough. She's truly amazing with the dogs.

Can’t say enough good things. I’ve been bringing my pup Mya here for about 6 months now and Mya looks forward to going. Ashley and her team care of the dogs and treat them like their own and I am always updated on her progress. Myas confidence and social skills have skyrocketed. They have a customer for life.

Absolutely the best place for your K9-kids! Ashley is truly passionate about what she does and it is clear that this was something lifelong. Between the pictures and stories/reels she posts of everything they're doing, it almost makes me wish I could join in Be sure to check them out on Instagram too!

Ashley is the only person I trust with my dogs. Once you use her services, you won't want to go anywhere else, trust me.

The best. Ashley has worked with my senior dogs before they were seniors. They love her. She speaks "dog"!

The best place for the furry friends!! The crew takes great care of the pups like no one else! The adventures the dogs get to go on are awesome!

The best dog care ❤️

This is an amazing place for my dog to go socialize and burn some energy! As a puppy, she was attacked on a walk by a larger dog and we were worried it would take a lot of time and patience for her to adjust to being with other dogs in a productive setting. The team at Dizzy’s was so amazing, giving us tips on how to work on the issue outside of day care, and being conscientious of the situation while my dog was there. As a puppy, and a working breed, she has boundless energy, and we all feel better after a day of her getting to run around with other dogs. Since starting care she has become better at listening to commands and knowing when it is play time and when it is work time. The price is more than fair for the value we’ve received!!

Dizzy's is great! The place has been a godsend for my family's very energetic 1 year old pup. Our doggie has fallen in love with the staff, is desperate to get out to the door to them every morning and comes home exhausted every night. I could not recommend Dizzy's more highly!

My dog Waffles started at Dizzy's at 6 months.I always felt although he was a little guy he was so happy going to see all his friends! He would go in bark to let everyone know he was there! The staff is caring and wonderful! This is a clean well led daycare! Waffles misses you all!

Our 2 year old lab mix pup, Biscuit, attends a weekly play group at Dizzys and we have also used the pet care staff for at home pet care. The setting for the day care is clean with plenty of room inside and out for loads of exercise. We can check in on our pup during her playgroup with pictures posted on their FB page each day. Biscuit is obviously happy to greet the staff when we arrive and usually falls asleep on the way home. There are celebrations, holidays and parties offered with doggie games and activities provided. When the yard is wet Biscuit gets cleaned up before pick up and now a full pet spa service is offered on site by a well known pet groomer. My communication with the owner and staff at Dizzys Doggie Daycare is professional in person and always responded to in a timely manner via email. The service is excellent, the staff are flexible for pick up and drop off within in their hours of operation and the payment packages are a very good value. We are happy to have Dizzys Doggie Daycare in our area!

A very excellent place where dogs are able to release their energy during the day and enjoy their time there. Any pet parent should feel at ease knowing their furry friend has a safe place to play during the day. The owner is very attentive and caring. If you are looking for a doggie daycare this is the place to go!

Been bringing my dog there weekly for over three years. Staff is amazing and prices are great. They take great pride in caring for my Charlie and he is always so so excited to go there, I can’t open the door fast enough when I drop him off. They even do events! Can’t say enough good things about them!

We’ve been with Dizzy Pets since the day we brought Petey home from the shelter over 4 years ago! We’ve used the daycare, daily walks and dog sitting services when we go on vacation. We’ve had nothing but great experiences with Jayme and her dedicated team. Petey has a blast every week at daycare.

Jayme, Josh and numerous members of their qualified staff have been coming to our house for years to exercise our dogs when we're not around. I'm sure we are among Jayme and Josh's most demanding clients. Through no fault of our own we are a pain in the rear end. We have three dogs that all have their individual personalities and requirements. We live out in the middle of nowhere on the way to nothing. We need Jayme and Josh's help often, but not on a regular schedule. Dizzy's service really has been top notch. There is the potential for LOTS to go wrong in this business and thanks to Jayme and Josh's positive attitude, professional practices, ambition to make their business a success and overall kind, concerned and conscientious energy we are VERY satisfied customers and will gladly recommend them to anyone.

Love Dizzy's Doggie Day Care. The dogs are always tired when they come home which is always a good sign that they had fun. Keep up the good work

Great place to bring your pups! Amazing staff. Your pup will leave exhausted yet happy from a day full of play, enrichment and socialization.

Our dog, Bruce, who’s got big big feelings and is quite particular about everything.. LOVES Wag Inn! He gets so excited to see the staff when we’re dropping him off and they kindly send us updates about his antics during his stays. We’re so so happy we found a spot we can feel good about leaving our boy at! Highly highly recommend!

The staff was very accommodating and worked with us for a late drop off the evening before we went on vacation. While we were away, I emailed to check in on my pups. It was one of my dogs first time in a kennel. The staff responded very quickly giving me an update on how they were doing, especially the first timer. When we picked up on pups the staff member that returned our dogs was very familiar our pups. They took the time to share our pups habits and routines while they were there. One thing I immediately noticed when I got them into the car was that my pups didn’t smell of kennel (as had happened in past instances at other kennels). I will be bringing my dogs back! Loved the place.

There is no comparison anywhere in at least a 30 mile radius. They treat you like family and your dogs like their own. Our dogs leap with joy when we drop them off — and they live a pretty decent life at home! 😘 …

I can't say enough good things about Wag Inn Dog Boarding! They are truly exceptional at keeping our dog safe and happy, whether it's for an extended stay or just a long day. The staff are incredibly skilled and loving with dogs, ensuring that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. The facility is always spotless, which gives us great peace of mind. We know our furry friend is in the best hands possible. Highly recommend Wag Inn for any pet parent looking for a reliable and caring boarding option in the Hudson Valley!

I boarded my Doberman at Wag Inn while I was at a family wedding. It was his first time boarding and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Lena was fantastic. He had a cozy room inside, the facility was warm, they sent me updates and pictures and took him outside to play. I requested he didn’t have exposure to other dogs and they were so accommodating of that. He still got plenty of exercise and attention, and they even scatter fed his dinner like I asked. They were also mindful of his training and handled my rambunctious adolescent Doberman perfectly. I would give 10 stars if I could! I don’t live in the area, but may travel in the future just to board him here if needed. Thank you so much for taking care of him and keeping me at ease!

Wag Inn Boarding is excellent! The staff is amazing, caring, and friendly. I never have any doubts after I drop off my dog because I know she is in terrific hands.

We had never used a boarding service before our experience with Wag Inn! It was only a single night but I feel confident in the care my dogs recieved from Lena and her team. It's reassuring knowing there's an affordable, trusted option if we need to board our dogs for any reason in the future. Thank you!

My dog always has a good time when she goes to Wag Inn! She stayed there for 9 nights while I was on vacation and the staff was responsive in providing me updates on how she was doing and providing pictures. Love that the dogs get a little hotel room! Will be taking Phoebe back again and recommend to anyone in the area looking to board their dog.

I have been taking my dog here for a couple of months both for boarding & for daycare. I can’t say enough good things about Wag Inn. My pup always comes home exhausted & gets so excited/is ready to run right in when we arrive. I can tell he always has a great time there. A great & trustworthy spot. Thank you Wag Inn!

Our dog really loves it here! We were a little nervous about leaving her overnight because she can be anxious in new places, but the staff is so caring and thoughtful. She always loves returning to Wag Inn! We can't recommend it enough.

I've used other pet care services in the past & I can tell you they are by far the best! They go above & beyond every single time. Beyond pleased with how well my furrbabies have been taken care of

They answered my call within a very short time. My dogs love her and she clearly loves animals! Her prices very reasonable and they are very reliable! Thank you, for you helping my family!

Life Savers! We were stranded in the city and it was pouring rain at home. I texted with an emergency and they immediately went to my house and picked up my dog in the pouring rain and let her sleep over. Nice people all around!

I have known Karrin from Elite Pet Care Services since 1996. She is very trustworthy and loves animals from as long as I can remember!! I would trust her with my pet anytime!!!

Wonderful compassionate reliable care. Two of our dogs have been loved and cared for by this family. A second home !!

Great dog watching service, 3x a day playful and attentive visits, demonstrates a genuine care and love for our dogs! Would highly recommend!

Can I say lifesaver? I needed someone to walk my dogs for a couple days because I was gonna be out of town for work. I am entirely pleased with this service and all at last minute notice. Thank you so much.

Been working with her for years. She's extremely reliable & professional. Can always count on her. Highly recommended

Pleasant, efficient and exudes a love for animals. She went above and beyond our expectations.

Dawg Dayz has been my savior. I feel comfortable leaving for vacation knowing the dogs are well taken care of and loved.

Sending our dog to daycare with Beacon Petsitting, Dogwalking and Dog Daycare has been a great experience for him and us (his humans). Our dog runs so joyfully to Stephanie and her dog pack when they come by to pick him up and he comes back exhausted each time, in the best way. Stephanie is amazing with dogs and trustworthy. Highly recommend!

Stephanie and Maggie are absolutely incredible. We have Coop, a 4 year old cat, and Jax, a 1 year old pitbull/boxer mix. We trust Stephanie and Maggie so much that they have a key to our apartment and drop in to watch Coop while we travel. Stephanie and Maggie pick Jax up for daycare a few times a week and he absolutely loves it. He has so much fun with his friends and he comes home exhausted which is wonderful for us :) They even drop him off and put him in his crate so we don't have to worry about it. I've recommended Stephanie and Maggie to many people. We are so, so thrilled with them and very thankful for their flexibility and love they have for our animals while we're gone! I highly recommend.

Willow, my border collie and I love Stephanie and Maggie! Not only is the price very affordable but it includes pick up and drop off! I was having a really hard time finding a place I could drop off early enough and this was the perfect solution. I completely trust them with the key to my apartment. Another huge plus is they post Instagram stories of pictures and videos of the dogs so you can check in on them throughout the day. Highly recommend Beacon Doggie Daycare!

We’ve been using Beacon Petsitting for almost a year, and I can’t begin to tell you how grateful we are to have them in our lives. They are kind, professional, and reliable, and have become part of our family. Barry waits by the door when I tell him he’s going to daycare, and I love watching their Instagram stories and seeing him have a blast with his friends. Oh and you can’t beat the price! HIGHLY recommend :)

Beacon Petsitting is the place we call when we’re headed out of town. They provide reliably great care for our pup, Carmen. They are excellent communicators and have been more than willing to accommodate our crazy travel schedules. Can’t recommend them enough.

We made three appointments with Stephanie to come and meet our cat before we went away. She didn't show up for any of them, and didn't call or text with an explanation as to why. Why would we use her services? She might forget the cat. We don't recommend her. Only gave a star cause they wouldn't let me post otherwise.
