Dog Sitting in Shenorock

We have been using Cora and co for years for pet sitting. All sitters have been super professional and taken wonderful care of our dogs from the playful puppy stages to the arthritic older stages. Recently we adopted a huge lab mix who needs to burn energy during the day. Rob and Alexis have been amazing with him! He gets a good walk each day - they are definitely working on walking manners with him bc he is so much better for us- then playtime in the yard with our older dog. Wonderful people who really love dogs- especially the huge, drooly ones!!

I’ve been using them for 5 years and they are amazing with my dog, she knows when it’s her day to go on hike and she waits by the door until the pick her up. They also send pics of the dogs during the hike which I really enjoy seeing!

Cora and canines, cats and critters are the best! In addition to being a great dog walking service Cora is also an amazing animal trainer. She has helped us as new dog owners with great advice and training. Our dog waits by the door for pack walks because it’s the highlight of his week. Highly recommend Cora for any dog related needs.

We cannot speak more highly of the experience we had with Cora and her team! We’ve struggled for a few years trying to find the right fit for our very sensitive, timid Cavapoo. We’ve been through multiple trainers as well as dog sitters and no one has matched Canines, Cats and Critters. I knew from the moment we met, this was going to be the right fit for Willow. Cora was knowledgable and knew exactly how to approach Willow. She took her time getting to know her and completely understood our needs as well as Willows! She matched Willow with the perfect dog sitter, Barbara. It was our first time in quite some time where we went away and relaxed knowing Willow was in good hands! We received constant updates and pictures of our girl! Thank you again Cora and Barbara!! We highly recommend Canines, Cats and Critters!!! 💗

Exceptional service and friendly, dependable staff. I am a frequent customer and have never been disappointed. My corgi loves her dog walkers!

Be Aware! I was very taken by the situation that happened to me working with this company From the initial conversation the people who worked there were so welcoming and pleasant and I had a great deal of hope finally to find someone responsible and accountable To my great surprise when It came to the actual service , the dog walkers (Olivia and Kelly) on two different occasions acted totally irresponsible and lied about there “work “. I scheduled 30 min walk for my dogs and these girls walked not even full 15 min , brought the dogs back to the house and then spent the rest of the time sitting in their cars on my property, not leaving until the time was up My house mate happened to be home at the time and saw this with his own eyes When I called the company They insisted that the dog walkers completed the service as they supposed to! Even though, I also watched them do what they did on my cameras! I tried to worn the owner of the company that these things are happening but instead of doing anything about that She decided to drop me as a client, supposedly “Problematic “

The best. Great communication and the dogs have great hikes !

Wonderful experience with Ariel and Cora with both my dogs 🐕 ❤ …

Wonderful people! I have a very anxious dog who often takes a long time to trust new people let alone trust them enough to let them walk him. But Scott made a connection with our dog right away and could get him outside from the get go. A second shoutout for his flexibility with our constantly changing schedules!! Highly recommend.

Scott took such great care of our shy kitty and even got him to come out of hiding briefly, which is an accomplishment. He took the time to visit ahead of time to get to know us and familiarize himself with the house and cat needs. We came home to a happy and healthy kitty. We highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience with Dancing Paws when we went away for 10 days this summer. Alisha from Dancing Paws stayed in our home and took amazing care of our dog, cat, guinea pigs, bearded dragon and saltwater fish. We felt completely at ease knowing she was taking good care of everyone. Highly recommend.

Dancing Paws is the best! Scott and his team always treat our dog with nothing but kindness. They are extremely reliable and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them.

Scott is great with our 7 year old Goldendoodle, Henry. He sends us pictures of Henry while they are walking and Henry is always happy to see Scott. Dancing Paws is dependable and reliable and always looking out for the best for our dog! I can relax leaving him with them.

Scott instantly feels like someone you know and have trusted for a long time. My dogs immediately took to him. The first meeting he was on the floor with my pup loving up on her like she was his. He has patience with my older dog and assists him as needed. It has been a great decision to use Scott to help care for my dogs when I am at work. You can tell he truly loves animals and what he does. He sends pictures and updates to let you know how they are doing while you are away from them. I highly recommend Scott, he will give you piece of mind and your pets will adore him as he adores them.

Dancing Paws took care of our 12 year old cat while we were out of town for 2 weeks. They were amazing! They checked in with us often and sent pictures and videos of our lil guy. He looked so happy and playful that we were able to relax knowing he was in great hands!

We have had exceptional service from Lisa! She stepped in when the going was rough with my two elderly dogs. My dogs are well cared for and loved which gives me peace of mind when I'm not able to be home.

Scott walked our senior dog over the weekend and was great with her. He was also very easy to communicate with. We will trust him again with our pet this summer for sure.

So great to be able to travel and have peace of mind! Scott’s professionalism and love for animals was immediately evident. The dogs seemed a little disappointed when I came back. lol The ultimate compliment!

We love the family vibes of all staff members loving and taking great care of our Dakota Mae and Wallen as soon as we walk in, in the mornings. Turning into the parking lot, our pups get super excited to see where they’re going! They were very accommodating and kept watch while he was struggling with his back paw before surgery. We love all the cute events they have monthly to keep the dogs interested and entertained! When there’s bubbles, you’ll know Dakota will be there!!! Having an easy 123 text system to be able to check in, ask questions, etc, being watch on the cameras brings lots of comfort and peace watching our pups play, and having social media to see many posts of the fun event days is the best part of my day! We love dogtopia 💕

We love Dogtopia! My dog was adopted from what we believe to have been a puppy mill situation when she was between 2 and 3 y.o. When we adopted her, she was extremely shy, afraid of children, and sometimes aggressive with other dogs due to fear. She didn’t know how to play with toys, but she did love adult humans. She’s 12 now, and has gained more confidence from regular dog park visits and play dates with friends’ dogs. Dogtopia has been a huge part of her overall happiness and wellness for the last two years. The people who work here are very careful and loving towards all the dogs in their care. They’re always well staffed and the dogs are never le ft unsupervised. They always remember my dog’s name, preferences, health information, and personality, and we only bring her here once a week. I’ve recommended see them to friends, as well. My dog LOVES Dogtopia, and we love them, too!

I appreciate the convenience of being able to drop off my dog for the day, knowing he's in good hands. The staff is very friendly and clearly passionate about dogs. I also love the app, which allows me to check in on my dog whenever I want.

Our dog absolutely loves it here, she’s high energy and the environment allows for a great mix of socialization and rest. The staff is incredibly kind, patient, and helpful! It’s very clean and well kept and I like that the dogs are separated by size so it’s not too anxiety producing for smaller dogs. I feel good leaving our pup here to play! The app makes it really easy to book services and having access to the daycare camera is a great benefit, I love checking in to see what our girl is up to! Usually trouble, which is another reason the staff is so amazing!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is a well organized and structured facility to allow the maximum fun at the most safety for the dogs.

I always feel like I am dropping my pup off at a place where she is safe, loved and well cared for! My dog is very high energy, so daycare is a fantastic option to keep her well exercised during the work week. The staff members have all been very kind and quick to address any questions or concerns that I have brought up. I also love all the themed days and photo ops, such as back to school picture day, Halloween costume contest and pictures with Santa!

Friendly, flexible and so understanding of our most precious pups. One (who will remain nameless - Pia lol ) who is so calm until she meets someone and then becomes a “jumper” but Dogtopia understands and our other good boy is just the sweetest …..just excellent understanding and care !

Mookie goes to Dogtopia at least 2 to 3x a week. He absolutely loves it! He comes home super tired from a day of playing with his friends. The staff is really helpful and friendly! We love how easy the app is to use to book daycare and boarding appointments. We also love that we have access to the webcams so we can see what our pup is doing. Also, the themed days are so fun and we love to get pictures of Mookie!

The staff is great. Our dog always comes home worn out from his day of play. He runs to the door when we say Dogtopia or doggie daycare.he especially likes the pup cups.

Disappointed in communication. I needed to speak to a live person. My calls all went to voicemail immediately. Also, no text or return call after texting them nor after leaving voicemail. I can't tell you how they treat your baby because I went with someone else.

Our dog, Barbara, who has SO MUCH energy loves going to Shepard and Grey Daycare (as shown in the photo). She gets excited even when driving up to Daycare. We have not found anyone as caring, loving and responsible as John at S&G! We've even boarded Barbara (who has never been boarded before), and she loved it. John also sends photos from the day and it's clear how much the dogs love playing and spending time with each other at S&G. Most of all, they get such an array of activity and space that allows your dog to be well socialized.

Fantastic facility! We've taken our senior dog (a rescue) to Shepherd and Grey since we got her, and that was shortly after the daycare/guest house opened. John is fantastic to work with, and his guesthouse is like a spa for our girl -- she relaxes in the sun room, enjoys walks on this gorgeous property, barks at squirrels, and watches the younger pups play. We especially appreciate the pictures and videos John sends us each day. You will not find better care anywhere in our area. Highly recommend!!!

We were a long way from home for a wedding in Beacon, NY and didn't want to leave our poodle, Max, behind. Shepherd and Grey's is very impressive, architecturally, with three levels and windows looking out to wooded mountains all around. The rooms are equipped as if dogs with credit cards furnished them: a real bed (if that's what your dog is comfortable with) plus a variety of cozy spaces and toys. John makes sure to take sociable dogs (ours is very gentle and an "only child" so he was excited to be in the company of other members of his tribe). I especially appreciate that this daycare/guesthouse for pets is a labor of love, because we are careful with Max, who is innocent as a child, and only wants to love us (and swipe the occasional tomato if given half a chance!) Highly recommended, Thanks again!

We can't believe how lucky we were to find John. We have a very nervous dog who doesn't do well away from us. He worked hard to make her feel comfortable and relaxed at his house. She looked forward to going every day. Most importantly, John went above and beyond to work with our ever changing work schedules allowing us to come early/ late to get her or would pick her up or drop her off if we needed him to. We can't express how great he is and how thankful we are for his service.

Shepherd and Grey is unlike any other dog care service I've used. It's a small, residential business, and they only take six dogs at once—which is a perfect group size for me. My dog, Sprout, gets plenty of exercise and socialization there, but she's also not overwhelmed by constant chaos or stimulation. I know the dogs play a lot but also rest, because John (the owner) sends me several photos and videos each day that Sprout is there. The areas where the dogs hang out are beautiful and always clean (check out the sunroom!), and S&G features a huge property for the dogs to hike around and relax outside. And John obviously has a way with animals... my dog adores him, and I can tell he loves her, too. If you're looking for a really special pet care service you can trust, with lots of individualized attention, then definitely give Shepherd and Grey a look.

During this extended closure, I am concerned for small businesses in the Hudson Valley, and Shepherd and Gray is one of our favorite staples of the area. If you are looking for a safe place for your dog to stay, if you have any reservations about being separated from your best friend, S&G will put all your worries at ease. We first went to John when we were planning our wedding - we wanted Penny to travel with us and share our special day, but it just wasn't feasible. And everyone we would trust her with was going to be at the wedding, so we were at a loss. The minute we stepped on the S&G property with Penny we knew it was the place for her. The facility is clean, John is very thorough with paperwork, making sure all dogs are up to date on vaccinations, and the property is beautiful and well maintained. My husband and I knew Penny would be safe and well cared for. Plus, John sent us daily updates, pictures, and videos. Penny is the smiling white lab in the photo and she can't wait to go back and play with friends once the social distancing ends!

Shepherd and Grey (S&G) provides exceptional care of your pet. We had a sudden need to kennel our dog for a few days. Our dog was very accustom to me being home with her every day. It has also been a few years since we have been to the dog park and we have not needed daycare or boarding since we moved to this area. My first concern was to make sure our girl had a positive experience. She is a big goof and this was going to be a big change in her routine. S&G 's owner, John, is wonderful to work with and provides the very best care in a calm, safe home-like environment. We were able to schedule a meet and greet as well as a half-day stay for a test run before we went out of town. So many great reasons to choose S&G: 1) all pet guests are current on vaccines 2) small number of dogs to ensure safe high-quality care 3) owner understands canine personalities 4) committed to providing an excellent experience for both the owner and their pet guests 5) daily photos and updates of your pet's stay. I have worked in pet care and welfare, there are several options for traditional boarding and kennel facilities. S&G is different, it truly is a guest house for your pet. We are so pleased with S&G we now schedule daycare visits just to let our girl socialize and get some hikes in, even when we are working from home. If you want more than a kennel experience for your pet, or more than a 10 minute dog walk while you are working, I highly recommend Shepperd & Grey Daycare & Guesthouse. Your pet's happiness is so worth it.

We board our black lab at Shepherd and Grey when we go away on vacation and absolutely love it. John is so hands on and really cares for any dog he is taking care of. We love that our dog has access to plenty of outdoor space, gets tons of walks and exercise on a daily basis and most of all is being cared for by a dedicated and experienced dog owner. I do not have to worry when I leave my dog with John. He treats her like his own!

My husband and I were expecting a baby and needed someone to watch our dog. Since we didn't know exactly when and for how long we'd need to board her, typical boarders were not ideal since you have to give exact dates. Luckily I found Shepherd and Grey online - John was willing to accept our booking without a definite date and was super flexible of the length of stay given our circumstances. We also loved the home feel for our dog instead of being placed in a kennel all day. We would 100% use S&G again and recommend them to friends. Very happy we found them!

John has been watching my dog for over 5 years and I have nothing but great things to say about his dog day care services. He treats my dog like his own and ensures he gets plenty of exercise, attention and love. I highly recommend using Shepherd and Grey for your dog day care needs. You won’t be disappointed!

Lakeside Lounge is the best! We bring our dog there a couple times a week to play. She is always met with love and excitement to see her. She always comes home happy and exhausted from playing. We board her at Lakeside Lounge anytime we leave town. They have fantastic groomers that are able to do a beautiful job on her, despite her intense fear of water and having her nails clipped. Our dog is like a child to us. I totally trust that she is in the best hands at Lakeside Lounge. Lia and Fran go out of their way to be there for her and for us. Our dogs home away from home. She’s always excited to be there. Thank you, Lakeside Lounge! We’re so grateful for you.

Lia and her staff are PHENOMENAL. Coco stayed at Lakeside for close to three weeks and he couldn't be happier. Right from the start, the intake process was seamless. We were able to do a tour and meet the staff at BOTH faciliyies. We saw where the dogs were kept and taken care of. Lia and her staff are so accessible via Whatsapp- they gave me daily updates with pictures and videos. Here is my review written on Facebook when I returned from my trip: I recommend this facility 💯 %- the one in Monroe and New Hampton are PHENOMENAL. Our pocket bully was cared for daily, they took the time to acclimate him and shared videos of his daily activity. They are caring, understanding, patient, and detail oriented. They DO NOT skip a beat and you can truly tell that the staff that work in both facilities truly care about animals. My dog was happy even when he was away from his family. The owner Lia, is timely and she responds to your questions and concerns. No question is too small or annoying. We have found our Coco his DayCare/Spa family. He’s vacationing from us and living his best time life when he’s in their care! I highly recommend them- this was his first time away from us and I didn’t worry one bit because the staff and owner are so knowledgeable. Thank you a million times for caring for my baby!!!

Lea is absolutely amazing, I can not say enough great things about her customer service and the way she cared for my cat. My Himalayan was neglected while I was away and needed a lot of TLC and that’s exactly what Lea and her team provided. Not only did she take wonderful care of her she kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Look no further then Lakeside Pet Lounge for your dog or cats needs and I promise you that you will not be disappointed. Thank you again for taking such good care of my fur baby (Truffles)! I will never go anywhere else for my pets needs!

I HIGHLY recommend Lakeside Pet Lounge!!! Lia was so amazing with our cat Leo and treated him like her own. He had an extended stay with her while we moved into our new home and it went much longer than expected. This was stressful for us but Lia was flexible and made it sooo easy for us knowing our boy was safe with her. You can tell she truly cares and kept us posted on his stay the whole time. Highly recommend Lia to anyone and her amazing business!

Our Boston Terrier absolutely loves doggie daycare at Lakeside Pet Lounge in Monroe! He’s always super excited to go play with his dog friends and comes home a happy tired pup. Everyone I’ve interacted with there is super friendly and welcoming and you can tell how much they really love dogs.

We had a great experience with Lia and the staff at Lakeside Pet Lounge. We boarded our dog for the first time and were super nervous, but everything went great. Lia really worked to get to know our dog's specific needs and integrate her with the other dogs. The indoor/outdoor kennel space they have is awesome too. Our dog came home happy and healthy!

Have had absolutely no issues, they are extremely accommodating, fair priced, and friendly. My pup always has a good time and you can tell they care about the animals. Bring him multiple times a week for day care and have had him boarded before and have nothing but good things to say!

Noah (2 years) and Capone Dillinger (9 months) come home from Lakeside as happy as they did when they left. Both dogs are high energy but come home exhausted from all the playtime they get at Lakeside. Their grooming services are great and the boys always come home smelling good, nails trimmed and ears clean. Lakeside accommodates needs specific to each dog as well. They have gone out of their way to accommodate us and our schedule. I would recommend Lakeside to anyone who needs a safe environment for their dog(s) where they get lots of playtime and attention.

Lakeside Pet Lounge is the best thing I could have done for my puppy! We were leaving my Yorkie for vacation for the first time and we were nervous cause he was only 5 months old and barely 3 pounds. He also hadn’t been around other dogs yet. But after looking at the website, visiting and talking with the owner we felt confident that he was gonna be just fine there and get lots of love and care. While we were gone she sent us lots of videos and updates on him and he was having the time of his little life making friends and playing with all the other puppies.They were all way bigger than him but that didn’t matter to him, he made friends with them and the owner made sure he was safe and with dogs he felt comfortable with. We’re definitely bringing him back for daycare every now and then so he can catch up with his friends and keep socializing. If you’re looking for a place to trust with your puppy while you’re gone, this is it.

HEADS UP TO OTHER FORGOTTEN PETS OF LAKESIDE: If your pet was present at the New Hampton facility on or around October 9 2024 ... please be on the look out for kennel cough symptoms! Symptoms can take awhile to present themselves but when they do ... seek medical attention Lakeside Pet Lounge you continue to disappoint and deflect! Bottom line, I expected a simple apology for the lack of communication to this oversight. However, you have made numerous excuses as to why you did not communicate the potential exspoure. You make a point to reference our Vet, why? When Hazel presented her symptoms and a discussion of her recent whereabouts is had isnt it appropriate to say YES she has visited a doggie day care recently? YES sadly my Vet is aware of your facilities due to other cases related to health issues that have come out of your facilities, whether in August or October myself and others were NOT made aware. Why wouldnt my trusted Vet make us aware of what they know?! You also make a point to reference our nervousness with bringing her there or how she became overstimulated, why? What does that have to do with the FACT that you admit to not documenting her attendance? In case you forgot, Her 2nd to last visit was September 24, as per your recommendations regarding being over stimulated we were encouraged to NOT bring her as frequently. Also, encouraged to come back unannounced on a walk in basis. We followed that exact recommendation, returned on October 9 2024 and when I made you aware of her illness via text October 18 2024 you so arrogantly replied and admitted she was not documented as being present during the potential outbreak time frame! You went on and on reminding me of your vast experiences etc etc but really I only wanted to receive an apology and some comapsion for what we have endured. I am sure you have the MONEY I paid for the services that day!? I wonder how many others are not documented and did not get the heads up! Your facilities name has a bad reputation based off previous and now current health related issues and your continued lack of proper communication. You clearly have not learned from your previous mistakes ... You say going fwd you will do better, I sincerely hope so for all who will continue to attend your facility. We most definitely will not return, I doubt you will even notice her absence as you did not notice her presence. Your obvious tactic of trying to bury my bad review on FB and on Google further confirms my opinion of you. Again, a simple apology or a GENUINE acknowledgment of fault without excuses is what I expected. I made the owner aware and sadly received an unkind response. Clearly she is upset about the bad reputation with regards to health related issues within the facilities, blaming local Vet offices for HER bad behavior and lack of communication is simply deflecting from the actual issue. Parents should take a moment to think .... how has this bad reputation come to be?! Bad reputations don't just fall from the sky! Medical professionals do not just "go after" anyone unless there is reason!

I recently boarded my Rottweiler at Tuxedo Pet Lodge for 9 nights and had an excellent experience. This was the longest boarding experience my dog has ever had and I am so glad to have found this pet lodge. The entire staff was welcoming, …

We’ve been bringing our dog to Tuxedo Pet Lodge for years and they are the best! Cathy and her staff are amazing in all aspects of pet care and boarding. The Lodge itself is immaculate and offers the most comfortable environment + rewarding experiences for dogs of all types, sizes and temperaments. Five stars plus all the way!

Cathy and her team are truly loving and amazing caregivers. From the moment I drop off my dog, I have the peace of mind to know I made the right choice. Cathy is a true dog lover, and it shows in every aspect of her business.

We’ve been boarding our dog here for several years and couldn’t be happier. Our dog is excited to go in and see her friends..the incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Now retired, we do a lot of travel and we have peace of mind knowing our dog is in such good hands. HIGHLY recommend!!!

My grandpup, Paisley, loves it here! Friendly and professional staff. Always smells well cleaned when we pick up and drop off. Thank you for providing a place we can take our dogs to worry free.

Our dog, Tommy, loves this place, and the staff members are amiable and helpful to Tommy.

Bad service no go

They are the best!!!
