Lovely people and wonderful sitters. The cats were happy and my home was well cared for. Nancy communicated well through the sit and was flexible setting up arrival and departure times. She and Dan would be welcome back anytime!

I invited Jacklynn back to sit for me again and once again couldn’t be happier! She sent pics often and I came back to a tidy apartment and happy cats. Will be inviting her back again!

Retired animal lovers looking to explore new areas
Michael and Faye were absolutely fantastic guests and took wonderful care of Whiskey and our home. They kindly arrived the evening prior to our departure and spent time with Whiskey that evening and the next morning to ensure they were well-versed on feeding, walking, etc. They provided regular updates and took Whiskey on several adventures during their stay. We would happily have them back in the future.

Amy was a phenomenal sitter for our dog, cat and house! We felt very at ease and came home to an immaculate house and very happy animals. Thankful to Amy and would recommend her highly!
Shelby
Rockwood, New York
We're looking for someone to show our pup the best care and attention.
We could not have been more happy with our experience having Shelby and her significant other, Marty stay in our home for 2 1/2 weeks. They took excellent care of our beloved labradoodle, Wilt and our home was in impeccable shape upon our return. Shelby sent me photos of Wilt throughout our vacation and responded to my calls and text messages in a timely fashion. It was a wonderful experience all the way around!
Rebecca
Rockwood, New York
Digital Nomad w/ 10+ Years House-Sitting Experience
Rebecca is very sweet and incredibly considerate. We had a nice long zoom call before confirming the sit and she was easy to talk to. At the time I had two kitties and one was very ill. Rebecca asked thoughtful questions and had so much experience that my stress and anxiety were alleviated; I was grateful to have found her and felt completely comfortable entrusting my kitties and little piece of paradise to her. Unfortunately my Fizzy Fitzy's health deteriorated and he didn't make it. I let Rebecca know before the sit that it would be only one kitty and that he would be adjusting to the loss of his "brother" and companion and might need more care and attention. She was so kind and again, I felt like the universe had sent me the right person. Rebecca and I got a chance to meet as we overlapped by an hour or two on day one; I was so glad to be able to see her in person and give her a hug before I left. I returned after about 10 days to a calm kitty (which was amazing given that he'd just lost his lifelong companion) and an immaculate apartment. Rebecca even washed the sheets and made the bed which was so beyond helpful and appreciated after a tiring trip. Rebecca sent me a long message on the last day letting me know what had been done and showing a walk-through of the home (she's very thorough, which I love), so I knew what I was coming home to down to the fruit in the fridge. Seriously, the place was immaculate! I know you're journeying on Rebecca but I would love to have you sit anytime. Thank you!
Maggie
Rockwood, New York
Reliable, Mature, Flexible
Maggie was wonderful. We met and spent time together the day before my husband and I went out of town. I felt very comfortable with her knowledge and ability to take care of the house and my little cats. She stayed in touch with us she sent pictures I spoke to her a few times. The entire experience was wonderful and I would highly recommend her just sit for your house and pets. I hope in the future I will be able to have her come out and stay with us again. Thank you so much

Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.

I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.

I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.

Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Heather
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Jacqueline
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Kathleen
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Marcia
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.

We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Phyllis and Alan
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)

We have been bringing our 3 high-energy dogs to Upstate PetBnB since Spring 2024 for both doggy daycare and boarding, and we couldn’t be happier! Caroline and her team provide A+ care and offer the schedule flexibility that is difficult to find elsewhere. Our dogs always come home tired and happy! I know these pups are in the best hands whenever we need to go out of town or just need daycare. After poor experiences with a few other places, we are SO happy we found this one!! Highly recommend!
My pup has been going to Caroline since I adopted him. He absolutely LOVES her and her facility!! Her knowledge and training has been instrumental in his growth process. So happy and thankful to have found a place we can truly call home! He just can’t get enough of Caroline and his pup friends!! Highly recommend!! You and your pup won’t be disappointed!
My pup gets so excited every time I bring her to daycare! She has so much fun with the other pups and she is in the best hands! Grooming is also fabulous here and a great price! Pics are before and after grooming!
Great experience! Caroline is amazing, she seems very aware of all of the dog’s behaviors and will put the effort into making them as comfortable as possible. My girl is very anxious but I felt at ease with her in Caroline’s care and felt even more comfortable being able to see how she was with her and the other dogs there through the live cameras. This was my first time using a dog daycare/boarding so I can’t compare, but it’s a very clean place and the staff is very quick to clean up any messes!
I trust no boarder or daycare the way I trust Pets BnB. Caroline is truly passionate about dogs. Her time and commitment to the happiness, health, and care of my dog is unparalleled. The facilities are clean, you can purchase treats and toys, there are themed weeks/days with fun activities, and you can customize your dog’s experience. My dog gets so incredibly excited to come here and darts right to her door. If that’s not a sign about her comfort and happiness here, I don’t know what possibly could be! The pictures of my dog are of her at daycare during special themed weeks.
Rocco absolutely loves staying at Pet B&B. It’s been a life saver for me when I need to travel. The camera system takes all the anxiety of leaving my dog away. The grooming service that they offer is just so convenient. I highly recommend you to bring your puppy here. Thank you so much
A great place for your pet! My dog enjoyed his stay here. The people are incredibly friendly and responsible and took a great care of my dog. They give access to ring, so that you can see what your dog is doing through a live camera. The deluxe suite was very comfortable and made my dog feel like home.
I couldn’t recommend Upstate PetBNB enough! We recently got our first puppy and we treat him like he is truly our child. When looking for a doggy daycare, we were so particular. Caroline has so much passion for what she does and runs the daycare so well. There are always tons of activities for the pups throughout the month that you can choose to participate in (bubble parties, arts and crafts, etc). Another amazing perk is being able to access the cameras to check in throughout the day and watch the dogs! It is so nice having peace of mind that my dog Hudson is being taken care of while I am at work. He absolutely loves Caroline and all of the employees that work there. My favorite part of the day is dropping Hudson off and seeing how excited he is to run in and play with his friends!
Upstate Pet BnB is amazing! We have 3 dogs and they love when they get to go for the day or even overnight. Caroline is AMAZING with our dogs and we immediately felt at home with her and so did our dogs. This is the first boarding experience we've had where our dogs actually ran back to the play room to stay longer. ❤️
Love Caroline and her staff! They’re amazing! I’ve moved from Louisiana and today was my dog second visit I was a lil nervous at first because he NEVER been around any other dogs and his first day he was scared to go inside kept running back to the car. and today let’s just say he couldn’t wait to go inside to the point soon as I put the car in park he jumped from the back seat into the front and walked in with no care in the world he just knew he was in great hands. And they did an AWESOME job with his grooming!

10000% recommend! She boarded my pup last minute for us and I could not be more happy. You can tell she gave him lots of love. He is also tuckered out on the way home!!!
Libby had a great time at Ardvark, while my husband and I had a little weekend away in Saratoga springs. Tara was so great to our little pup and we got great updates with pics and text so I didn't have to worry about her. We will definitely use ardvark again!
They have always watched my pets. They are affordable, kind, and reliable! They have a fenced yard for dogs. They will also come to your house to check in on a cat.
Absolutely the best and only place you should be bringing your best friend. Cage free living and great folks to boot!

Dogwood Pet Lodge

Recent Reviews:
Dogwood lodge took our dog, Doobie, with short notice due to sudden death in family. This was appreciated by us. Our dog is reactive and Dogwood Lodge knew and accepted him. We were very nervous with our furry child because we always boarded in someone’s home or family. He enjoyed his 30 minute romp in yard. He was very happy to see us and liked Alison. This is surprising since he normally only likes us. Happy and resting on “His” bed he lets us share.
Dogwood Pet Lodge is the only place I leave my senior dog. Allison and Joe truly treat him like one of their own. On our last stay, Allison was able to trim the matted fur around his mouth that even the groomer is unable to touch. She truly is the “dog whisperer” and has a magic touch! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We boarded our nearly 12 year old little Jack Russell there for 5 days. She was pampered by Allison in the VIP room while we enjoyed a trip into the city. I highly recommend paying for the upgrade to get photos sent to you. We loved watching Olivia play in the yard and see that she was comfortable and resting well. Allison truly cares about all of the animals there. She is kind and professional. Overall an excellent experience and hopefully we'll be back next year!
Great experience! From the very first communication with Allison I had a sense of her attention to detail, safety and the general well being of all of the pets in her care. She offered a full tour of the facility, asked questions to discover any special needs or concerns for my dog, and provided documentation for her policies and procedures. I was required to sign off acknowledgement, which I was happy to do. She was very clear that she had policies that were rigid, but in place for the right reasons-my pet’s successful stay. I have a rescue who did not have a good early life, and because of her abuse, she is fearful of people and situations and her reaction is not always predictable. The facility, which is double fenced, and the fact that there was regular processes for supervision, feeding and even cuddle time, put me at ease. During my dog’s stay, I got an update and even some nice pics of her at play and cuddling (see below-she didn’t miss me much!). When I picked my dog up after a week long visit, it was obvious that she was comfortable and happy at Dogwood and had made a new friend in Allison. Once home, we didn’t have any re entry issues. My dog was healthy, happy and slipped right back into our normal routine.
This lodge is cozy and casual. The owners are so kind and very good with animals. They took care of my 2 kitties for 4 days, and I brought my babies home safe, happy, clean and calm. I will definitely go here any time I need to trust someone to care for my sweet fur friends! ❤ thank you for taking such good care of them.
Took a vacation for the first time in 8 years and one of the major concerns was a great place to leave my dog. It was over the Christmas Holiday and The Dogwood Pet Lodge was the place to go and so glad I did! Paid for the one on one walks and playtime which was so worth it. Then I opted for the daily pictures and being away, it made the whole difference in my vacation. Then prior to picking her up I was told she was just finishing her bath! No need to go anywhere else!!
I felt absolutely comfortable and happy leaving my dogs here for daycare a few times a week during long work days. The owners really love animals and I could tell that my pups were well cared for! They accommodated me last minute and were incredibly helpful. If I wasn’t moving out of state I would take my pups there every week! Thank you!!
The personal attention our pets receive at Dogwood for overnight stays can't be beat. They are great a taking photos of our pups and sending us daily emails and FB posts. Our pups love going there. Plus, the groomer is great too.
Awesome! Our go-to for years now and the only way we're ever able to travel. Our dog is a handful, but is always received and cared for with so much love, care and compassion. So lucky to have Dogwood Pet Lodge!
Compassionate, thoughtful care for your pooch. The only place my dog doesn't act like she has been in jail when i pick her up. Dogs are kept in runs, not wee crates/cages and can see other pups.

Alcove Kennels is amazing. I am a stay at home dog mom, but wanted to send my dogs individually to see how well they interacted with others . The expertise of the staff, the feedback regarding my Yorkie-poo Ruby, and their …
Great experience! The kennels are clean, and there is actually a place for the dogs to run and get some energy out. Our dog didn’t want to leave! Booking was easy. Melissa was very communicative. Will definitely be booking again.
Alcove Kennels is the perfect place to send your dog while you are away. The kennel and grounds are spotless and well maintained. Melissa is absolutely wonderful to work with and provides reassurance that your dog is in the best possible care. Our dog seemed very happy playing with the others dogs in all of the photos and videos. By far, this has been the best kennel experience that we have had. Highly recommend boarding your dog with Alcove Kennels.
Melissa was fantastic! Booking with her was easy and super efficient. We were able to book with her without any difficulty. Once we dropped off our dogs, we went through their stay and how often they eat, as well as any other needs they may have. Melissa was so great with our dogs and made them enjoy their stay. She played with them multiple times a day and they got to see and interact with other dogs in a controlled and calm setting which was beyond perfect. We were nervous boarding them as we only had one prior experience doing it, but she sent us updates frequently and let us know how they were doing every step of the way. She is perfectly priced for everything she does ans offers, and has plenty of space for the dogs she takes on. I am so relieved and thankful we found her and now have a reliable person to bring our dogs to. She is the nicest, super accommodating and our dogs loved her!! I can’t recommend her services enough.
We used Alcove Kennels recently to board our dog during a trip. Melissa was great, sending videos and pictures throught his stay. My dog is diabetic and requires some special care and Melissa was up to the challenge!! The kennel is new and clean with nice dog runs and even a personal walk on the beautiful grounds. She was welcoming, flexible on pick up and drop off times and I highly recommend and will be using her again on future trips.
Highly recommend alcove kennels! Melissa is wonderful, extremely flexible and our pups love her. Duke and Daisy love their friends and doggy daycare, huge plus that their facility is very clean and well kept. Never have to worry about our fur babies when they’re boarding here, she gives all her boarding dogs so much love and attention. I will absolutely continue to use them in the future.
We boarded both of our dogs with Alcove Kennels. We had never boarded our pups before and Melissa made it easy, met with my husband beforehand, and kept us updated with pictures and texts throughout their stay. They also update their Facebook which allowed us to see our dogs without having to consistently text Melissa, and also allowed us to see them in play with other dogs, most importantly, it allowed us to see them happy- unprompted. Would recommend and will be back for our next vacation!
Couldn't be more thankful for Alcove Kennels & Melissa. We had a pet sitter cancel on us at the last minute. Luckily, Alcove had room. We have a dog with high separation anxiety, Melissa handled it professionally and also helped with a few at home suggestions. They have a beautiful setup that is extremely clean and well taken care of. We will be using them again in the future!
Alcove Kennels was amazing with my boy! He's a highly anxious and high energy big baby. I was really nervous about leaving him when we went on vacation but when I was able to see updates on him it definitely eased my mind. He was very well taken care of and I will definitely be using Alcove again!
Our dog boarded at alcove kennels for 4 nights a few weeks ago. This was such a positive experience for us and our dog! From the initial meet to our pick up day Melissa was very responsive, sent updates and pics. The kennel was nice and clean! A great feeling knowing he was well cared for and I would highly recommend!
