Sonia went above and beyond. She helped us in numerous ways and she was fun to have around. She has a great sense of humour and we felt completely at ease knowing she was there to take care of our stuff and our cats. Thank you Sonia!
Sri was a fantastic sitter to my two cats, Maya & Clio. They both required medication and one of them needed eye drops during the stay, and Sri handled it all wonderfully. She was communicative, sent pictures every day and was just overall a great sitter! Would highly recommend her!

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.
We recently left our golden retriever Sandy, over the summer to board while we were vacationing. Janette provided the very best attention to not only our Sandy but, her communication with us was exceptional. She genuinely cares for animals, I Highly recommended. Janette is very professional, responsible and will without a doubt, provide the very best care for your pet and give them all the love they ask for! We will definitely use her again and will recommend her to all our fur friends.
Janette watched over our pups for the long weekend. She was very interactive with us, keeping us updated daily. She was very loving with our babies, we loved using her service. We would definitely recommend her to our friends and family.
Janette is very trustworthy and my dog is always happy and cleaner when I pick him up! She brushes him, lets him sleep on her bed, and sends videos from their walks on the trail. She doesn’t take more than two dogs at a time so she can give them attention. I highly recommend leaving your dog in her care!
Janet is the best dog mommy ever. I can’t recommend her enough for dog care, boarding, and walking. Her place is right on the rail trail! Doggie heaven.
Linda and her team are awesome. My dog loves it when they come to "visit" her! It puts my mind at ease to have some I trust come into my house and take care of my puppy when I need it. Linda has been very accommodating to my changing schedule. We are very happy with the service, love that we can request walking services right online with her online calendar. Highly recommend Luckipups.
Linda is the best! She loves her work and she definitely falls in love with her clients fur babies. I would recommend Linda to anyone who is looking for a professional, trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I trust her with my most precious possession and I've never been disappointed or had to worry. We love Luckipups Pet Sitting!
Linda is truly bighearted and an exceptional dog walker! We have contacted her last minute, change and cancelled walks and she is always understanding, professional and kind. We feel lucky to have her take care of your three crazy pups!
Lin's awesome. She's the best. 10 out of 10 stars, five isn't enough....
Linda is amazing! She nursed my kitty back to health when I was away on vacation. She’s professional, truly loves animals, and goes that extra mile. I was able to enjoy my time away because of Luckipups
Linda runs her business with love. She is very communicative, responsive, and wonderfully reliable. Best pet sitter I've ever had.
Linda is the best! She is so caring with her animals and truly is someone you can trust.
The Pugs are happy when I go to work because the get their visit from Luckipups! 😃 Thanks to Linda and Lisa for taking such great care of my kids! …
Linda is phenomenal with our dog and making appointments is super easy. I highly recommend Luckipups.
They do an excellent job. Linda is a very sweet woman.
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 ❤️
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'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.
I feel so good about leaving my pup at Dog Meadow. They truly care and love each and every dog. My dog cannot wait to get out of the car so she can meet and play with all of her friends. It has been so good for her socialization also.
I am so glad to have found Dog Meadow for my dog, Pike. I was looking for a place where he would have the opportunity to be away from home and socialize with other dogs in a safe and calm environment. Kleber has been amazing with Pike and I feel 100% confident he is well cared for.
What's there to say except Love! We bring our little 14 pound dog at least once a week and he loves it! Toby plays hard with the big dogs and we've always felt he is in good hands. You can tell the dogs are well cared for.
This is not a dog boarding facility...it is a dog RETREAT! I knew Kleber from several years ago when we would take our dogs to the same dog park. When he posted that they started Dog Meadow I was immediately excited about the prospect of having my dog stay with them when we travel. From the pictures on Instagram, it was clear that Kleber and Laura run a great place where dogs enjoy the best that the property can offer and are truly treated as guests. My dog is high energy and loves to run, but can be picky with other dogs and everything worked out well. We were traveling overseas and having our pup at Dog Meadow put our minds at ease. Plus we were able to see all the fun she was having on Instagram. Looking forward to having our pup stay at Dog Meadow again in the future! Edit: Here we are, 4 years later (at time of edit) and I've just picked our dog up from a 6 night stay. It's amazing to have a place where I can drop my dog off and not think twice. I went on vacation. So did our dog. The structure that Kleber has and the rules he's put in place is all focused on having a safe, healthy, fun, and loving place for our dogs to stay. I only want the best for our dog and this is the best!
When we travel, one of the most important things for us is that our dog Felix is taken care of. That's exactly why we've been using The Dog Meadow for daycare and boarding. The entire staff is so incredibly attentive to him, they make sure he always has a safe, fun experience while we are away. The crate-free environment really makes a difference as well! The best part about Dog Meadow is its huge, well maintained, almost TICK-FREE, outdoor free-play meadow. Felix can run around with all the other happy dogs all day long. He always starts whimpering excitedly when we turn up the road to the meadow - it's adorable! We've seen how much joy it brings him every time, and it's worth every penny. We can't recommend them enough! Dog Meadow of Millbrook is simply the best for your furry friends. If you care about your furry family member as much as we do I think you'll be happy with the experience. Whether it's daycare or boarding, trust us - your pup will thank you!
I boarded my 3 1/2 yr old German shepherd Lyla at Dog Meadow for 10 days. It was the first time she'd stayed anywhere other than with family. Kleber and Dog Meadow will be my go-to from now on. Lots of space for running and playing with the other dogs. He also easily accommodated her fresh food feeding. I loved the daily posts on instagram and was always reassured she was happy. Kleber runs a tight ship and you can place your trust in Dog Meadow!
Our dog Musket has been a regular “guest” at Dog Meadow over the past two and a half years and we always know he will be well cared for by Kleber. Dog Meadow is a first class operation and provides a safe environment conducive to Musket’s well being. We drop Musket off knowing he is in competent and caring hands. Kleber is quite attuned to each dog and their needs and he always provides us with feedback on Musket’s stay. The field where the dogs play gives them ample opportunity for exercise and fresh air. In addition, Kleber is a gifted photographer and the pictures he posts on Instagram capture the dogs’ spirits. His monthly newsletter is always insightful and rounds out a truly professional approach to dog care.
We leave our dogs, Lady & Izzy, in the care of Dog Meadow when we're out of town. Both have gone since they were puppies. If it's any testament to how much we value Dog Meadow, we drive almost an hour and a half from the city to bring Lady and Izzy. We do this because we know they will always get the most attentive and high quality care. They have open space to run free with other dogs and get to sleep outside of a crate, which is great for our dogs who never took well to crates. Kleber is wonderful to work with! He goes above and beyond to put our dogs' health, safety, and fun first. Thank you for all that you do!
MY NAME IS RUTHIE!! My pawrents take me to this special pawffice because they love me very much. The hooman in charge there, his name is Kleber - he really gets me. He helps me to become the best hound dog I can be. I run! I bark! I pee and poop! I socialize! I train! I get pretty paw-traits taken by the pup-parazzi! I run more! Anything is paw-ssible at this magical shangri-paw. And when I come back home, I sleep and Mumma and Dadda are happy. Thanks to Dog Meadow, it's the leashed I can do.
We have boarded our Golden Retriever Kali at Dog Meadow twice this summer, and she has clearly had a blast. She was delighted to see Kleber when he returned to pick her up for her second visit, and jumped straight into his car. She has not done this at all with previous caretakers. We really appreciate all the photos and postings, and the pickup service is great. We highly recommend Dog Meadow.
Cheryl is the absolute best. She walked my two dogs from when they were puppies and provided them with so much love, and me with so much comfort knowing that they were in good hands whenever they were with her.
Cheryl at Your Place or Mine is absolutely amazing! She took care of our dogs while we were on vacation and it couldn't have gone smoother. She put us at ease and went above & beyond our expectations.
I have been lucky enough to find Jessica for my two little fur babies. She has been so kind and welcomed my babies into her home with open arms. She also gives updates with photos on how their day is going. Her puppy jazzy is the cutest little thing and seems to love the visitors! I feel confident with leaving my babies with Jessica without worrying when I am away. I do highly recommend Jessica.
Jess has been watching my French Bulldog Chester for about 2 years! Chester loves going to see Jess and her dog Jazzy! Jess is such a dog lover! She has a ton of experience with dealing with all breeds. Chester has spent anywhere from a few hours to a few nights with Jess. I would highly recommend Jessica’s Doggie Daycare to anyone looking for a nice safe place for their dog.
Jess Has been taking care of my Pomski Nova for the last 2 years. She is a kind, genuine soul who truly loves what she does. Jess gives excellent one on one care, providing every dog with love, affection and most importantly respect. Her playful puppy Jazzy is the most adorable thing you could ever see; making the experience that much better. I am not the type of person who would just leave my dog in the hands of a stranger, and Jess and Jazzy make me feel at ease leaving my fur baby in their care!
Jessica has been so great with our Gibson! He is a 7 month old energetic Lab/Great Dane mix. He loves spending his days with Jessica and gets a lot of one-on-one attention while we are at work. We are happy with our experience and would recommend Jessica to anyone looking for dog care!
Jessica took great care of my mini poodle for a long weekend. It was such a relief to find someone to watch our puppy that is close by, has other dog(s) around for socialization, and would give our girl the attention she needs. She had plenty of outside and play time. I definitely recommend Jessica as a dog sitter.
I had such a great experience with Jessica. My dog Sheba really liked her,her place was very clean and she showed real interest in my dog I've searched many places and I found hers to be the most caring and also price friendly. I highly recommend Jessica 's Doggie Day Care to anyone.
I am so happy that I found Jessica. She goes above and beyond to make my dog Benajmin feel welcome and loved. I have complete confidence in her ability to care for Benjamin. He always comes home tired from days of playtime and fun! I never feel guilty leaving Benjamin in Jessica’s competent hands because she treats him like her own dog. I will definitly keep using her in the future!!
Jessica is the kindest, most caring and reliable person to watch after your dog. My Kelpie mix, Billie, loves going over here and playing with Jazzy. Can’t recommend Jessica enough. I’ll only be taking Billie here
Jessica took great care of my Precious while I was vacation and she sent pictures and texts to let me know she was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jessica’s Doggie Day Care to anyone looking to board their dog when vacationing.
Jessica is one if the nicest, kindest people I have ever met!
