Remote worker looking to provide you with excellent care for your pets.
We would give Susan 5 plus stars if possible on all accounts! She bonded with our cat, she took great care of the garden and house and left it cleaner than we did 5 weeks ago. She was easy to communicate with and totally reliable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a Zeewoi. We would love to have her again next time we travel.

Trustworthy, reliable, pet-passionate, active couple will care for your pets and
Mac, Nala and I were so lucky to have Bill & Stacy come and housesit for us. I had a lovely initial video call with them, followed by them coming round for an orientation visit the day before the sit started and they then took wonderful care of Mac and Nala. I had picture, video and message updates every day and they left the place spotless. I think what I particularly loved was that they knew cats and cat behavior very well and I felt like they cared so much about Mac and Nala. This gave me great peace of mind while I was away. This is a really lovely couple and I’m very grateful to them for being here. I hope there will be another chance for them to come again before long!

Kind, experienced & reliable couple
Pamela and John were wonderful sitters. Their communication beforehand was very reassuring. They were flexible with timings and very self sufficient. They sent my numerous pictures during the stay so I could see how much fun Trix was having. My house was SPOTLESS when they left! I would love them to sit for me again!

Jessica was great, kept me informed and sent pictures while I was away which is always appreciated. The house was very tidy upon my return too.

New grandparents looking for some “adoptive “ fur babies to love
Thank you Deborah & David for taking amazing care of our pups and our home! I highly recommend them, should you be lucky enough to have them apply for your sit. Great communication, easy to coordinate with and took wonderful care of our two dogs. It was a seamless experience for us! Thank you so much! We would love to have you back if the opportunity presents itself in the future!

Loving pet mom, dog sitter, Airbnb host, property manager, nanny, and yogi!
Our kitty loved Stephanie. Stephanie took such good care of her and they really bonded. She also took good care of our home, leaving it very clean and orderly. There was a plumbing issue at the end of her stay and she alerted me right away so I could arrange a service call. She was gracious about the plumbing problem despite the inconvenience she experienced. Would love to have her stay again!
Union Hill, New York
Conscientious sitter eager to befriend your pets!
Rachael was a dream. She managed a last minute new puppy and took care of my dogs injured paw while we were away. She was so pleasant and calm. She is welcome back anytime- I give her our very highest recommendation! Thank you for everything!

Pet Lover on a Mission
Despite a glitch over the start date Laura was a charming and reliable housesitter who gave Tuppence my Cockapoo a great deal of love and attention and also welcomed two Air BnB guests in my absence . I would happily use Laura again as I felt totally confident in her.
Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.
Samantha and Scott are great sitters and we enjoyed hearing from them a couple of times while we were away. Our pets were very relaxed and happy too! Very happy to recommend them.
I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!
Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for my cat. She was a good communicator and also kept my place very tidy. She even left me a gift of a bar of chocolate upon her departure! Highly recommend.
Anna and Alan were absolutely brilliant. This was my first time using a sitter for our pup and from the start Anna was reassuring and put me at complete ease. They sent regular pictures while we were away and were incredibly easy to communicate with. I'd highly recommend Anna and Alan for any pet sitting needs. Robyn
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.
Shella was a great house sitter and I had no concerns leaving her in charge when we went away. She kept in touch while we were away and we returned to happy pets and a tidy house. What more can you ask?! I would be more than happy to welcome Shella back to house sit another time.

My dog went to daycare once a week for 9 years, until he passed away. He always was so happy and had so much fun playing and interacting with the other dogs. Also, when we went on vacation, he stayed there. Greatful dog, It is not only a day care, but every dog becomes part of the beautiful and loving family that Bill and Joanne have.
Came to inquire re: services for my very well bred and well behaved dog. The male owner was extremely rude to me throughout the brief conversation and asked how I found out about them. I replied I found them on the internet. He then argued with me saying they were not on the internet and practically slammed the door in my face. Would never trust my sweet dog to the care of people who act that way.
Amazing people! Treat your dog as if he/she were their own. So grateful :) for them and their care of our pupsters, past and present.
Best day care and boarding, mostly for larger dogs. Not cheap, but best I've seen. Not typical day care place and usually only by referral. Doesn't advertise.
Amazing place to take your dog! Great outdoor and indoor spaces, fantastic owners.
The best place you can take your dog, the staff and owners a great.
Great place with great people! Our dog loves going!
Fabulous daycare for dogs!!!!!!
Our dog loves coming to Creekside Resort and we feel very secure that she receives the best care during her stays.
Creekside is wonderful. I highly recommend them. My dog Stanley loves to go there
Every time I bring LUNA, she is so loved by the staff. They do not believe in cages. She gets her own suite and bed for boarding, and the door is half a door so they can look out. The handlers know how to handle each and every dog. Dogs are matched with other dogs their size. I've never heard one complaint. I made a huge mistake By trying that Central Bark. First day at that Central bark. Was a free observation day. I'm sure she didn't change from that Monday the 22nd or that Tuesday they never said a word. Now Monday the Jan 5th, I brought her in at 7am. at 8:10, they called me to go there, and they then decided that they couldn't handle her. It goes to show that their in it for your money. They charged the 84 dollars for the whole day. The owner never called me back either. Please checkout out Creekside on Hence Rd. It's a little drive, but it's so worth it. Just look at what they have to offer. If your dog isn't crate trained, don't bother with the other place it's the first place The dogs go. Luna is a happy go lucky Yellow Lab. So much for their training I paid for. Sorry for the rambling. Just a heads up.
They have always taken great care of my 2 dogs during trips. One doesn't like to be around other dogs and they are able to get her separate play time. The other is social and loves all the group play they have.
The staff is super friendly. They take the precautions to ensure that pets are safe. Melissa and her team genuinely care about thier work and their technique is effective. Very happy with how my dog's behaviors have improved.
The 3 Creekside Kennels are the best I’ve ever used. Each dog has a private room with a Dutch door. The extensive green space offers a great space for the dogs to run and play outside. They are an inclusive facility and will specialize their care to meet your dog’s needs. My dog is always happy to go off with the staff and is never miffed at me when I return. 😊 I highly recommend Creekside.
I absolutely LOVE this place. I have 4 dogs that i board here and i never worry when away. I know they are well taken care of, love the fb posts as well so u can see your pups having a blast. Definitely recommend.
This place is so good! The people there are so nice and treat people with the upmost kindness and respect. My dog went there for 2 weeks and came back in perfect shape. Thank you for all you do!
Melissa has helped me evaluating my pups and suggestions to try at home. They have doggy daycare and for longer stays they have 5 star accommodations for your furbaby. Each pup gets a suite and enjoy playtime outside on her sprawling property what a treat! For peace of mind and knowing they are in capable hands is worth it must see to appreciate❤️
We brought our dog here for a one day e-collar course. It's been amazing. She was well trained before, but it was hard to get her to stop jumping up on people when they came to the house. With one e-collar session, no more jumping! She heels amazingly well and comes immediately now too! Great place!
Look at this tired pup! After a day at Bonkerz she comes home and is so sleepy from playing all day. I had been taking my dog to a different popular daycare in Webster and I started looking elsewhere because every time I picked her up it seemed like she had just been sitting in a crate all day, she would be bouncing off the walls. I’m so happy we switched to bonkerz they truly seem to care about every dog that walks in the door. Highly recommend!
Zach and Nathan took incredible care of a dog Sadie in our rescue who got abandoned by her adopter mid-transport. For the last 3 months, Zach and Nathan worked very closely with Sadie on training and socializing her with other dogs to ensure she would be adoption ready and now she is heading to her forever home in Michigan! Our rescue cannot thank everyone at Bonkerz enough for making Sadie feel at home!
It's a dogs life!! What can you say.... We go to work and they go have fun. Great Doggie Daycare!!Staff is great...good pics,but I think they need a few more couches for dogs to lounge on. Lol.
Used to be called Puppy Playse, now called Bonkerz Doggie Daycare. Name change but same owner, who is great might I add! My dog has been attending daycare here for about a year and he loves it. All of the staff is friendly and will take good care of your fur babies.
My new puppy Cobie LOVES to go to Puppy Playse! I was nervous to take him there at first, but he is so happy to play and socialize with the other dogs! The facility is clean, open and friendly. It is obvious that the staff there love dogs! It's also fun to see the Face Book posts throughout the day! I highly recommend Puppy Playse!
Puppy Playse is the best! Our guy has tons of fun there at daycare, and had a great experience with boarding too. Zach and Colbie are excellent and great at letting us know how he's doing every time. Extremely trustworthy and overall amazing!
The greatest place! Cannot say enough good things. Our Cooper starts crying of excitement when he sees the place. He loves being there and we feel so comfortable knowing that they care and dote on him just like we do when he's home. Have not once ever had a bad experience there. Also, when he comes home from a day at "puppy school" he is so wiped out and exhausted from playing. We have already recommended Puppy Playse to our friends in the area.
I have been taking my puppy there for a few months and she absolutely loves it. The owners are amazing always sending pictures and giving updates. They are polite and very welcoming. Puts me at ease knowing my puppy is safe and having fun at the same time.
Zach and Colbie are the best in the business! We boarded Freddy with PUPPY PLAYSe for over 2 weeks, he normally has a lot of anxiety when boarded but they were able to make him feel comfortable and right at home. We have had problems with other boarding facilities not being able to get Freddy out of his cage but we experienced no issues @ PUPPY PLAYSe and he was able to go on lots of walks and play fetch! He loved his time at PUPPY PLAYSe and can’t wait to go back!
I send my 15lbs Shih Tzu a couple times a week. He is always greeted by smiles and excitement. The dogs are well-cared for in great hands. My little man comes home exhausted and happy. He whines in the car the entire way to daycare and jumps and runs right into the building when we get there. Would and do recommend this place to anyone in the area in need of some Puppy Care and love!
I have a geriatric dog & new pup, using OTM was so easy & I really had a relaxing time away. Very professional & hands on with my old Boston terrier. He actually seems better today!
OTM did a fantastic job managing our dog at our wedding through their "wedding concierge" services. Thank you so much, OTM!
Can’t say enough good things about onthemovepetcare. I use them for daily mid day walks for my dog while I work, each day they send me photos and updates on how the walk went. The walkers are all fantastic and their online platform makes it easy to schedule walks. Highly recommend using their services.
We have used OTM for several years and are always pleased with the care the team provides. More importantly, our pets are happy, healthy, and calm when we return whether it be a single day or a week long trip. Our recent caregiver Kathryn did a great job with our very anxious pup, who sometimes won't warm up to new faces. The staff overall is highly responsive, and the company is tech-enabled so you receive real-time updates during the care of your pets. Highly recommend their services.
OTM Pet Care has been such a phenomenal and professional service from the start! They all care so much about these pets and it truly shows. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog for the day knowing that Laura will take excellent care of him while I’m at work! Even when I’m having a busy day, my highlight is getting a quick message about how Barney’s walk went. I recommend this service to everyone and feel so lucky to be able to rely on them for quality pet care!
We are so grateful for On the Move Pet Care! Our walker, Kathryn has been with our puppy from the very beginning. She is attentive, kind and fun. She puts in extra time and energy to make sure our puppy is taken care of. She’s been a major part of our training process and has helped us with training tips and tricks that have been so helpful! The photo and video updates give us peace of mind while we are at work. OTM has always been flexible with our changing schedules and considerate of our needs. We highly recommend Kathryn and On the Move!
I have been using On the Move for daily dog walking for 3 years now and I love their convenience and reliability. They will even come weekends, holidays and nights when needed. Kathryn is great! I can tell she loves my dogs and treats them like her own. I get photos of the dogs on their walk daily. When I got stuck at work late on a holiday, Kathryn went right over and walked the dogs and fed them dinner so I didn’t have to worry about them. 10/10 would recommend
I have used On the Move several times and trust their pet care providers. The booking process is simple and every caregiver has been kind, attentive and willing to deal with my dogs' particular needs. The immediate communication via text or email is great - you know exactly when your pet has been seen and how the are doing.
I have been using OTM pet care for a few years. Paula is always very responsive to my requests and concerns. All of the pet sitters have been wonderful. I am especially thankful for the patience and compassion the dog walkers always show towards my occasionally wary rescue dog. Jo Ann (aka Allie) has been so great with him and I can go to work with peace of mind knowing that his friend will visit him during the day.
OnTheMove is excellent! We have been using their pet-sitting services for about 5 years when we travel out of town. They are reliable, responsive, and flexible. The pet sitters are friendly, they take good care of our two kitties, and they always provide updates of what they did during their visits in the OTM TimeToPet App (for example: refreshed water bowl, fed the cats, scooped the litter, played for a while, brought in the mail). They also send pictures of the cats through the app, which is reassuring and fun! Even though our wonderful neighbors have offered to care for our cats, we continue to choose OnTheMove Pet Care every time! I recommend them without any reservation - OnTheMove is outstanding!
I dog sit for a precious little toy of a pup named Chiyo. I just picked her up from a one week boarding and she is immaculate. Her personality is happy and vibrant and her stools have never been better. Clearly a lot of loving feelings in their care at this boarding home. Thank you. Will be referring all dog loving friends.
The best training/daycare facility in the world! I have over a year old Cane Corso who needed some help. I tried and tried getting her into places and seeing trainers but no one would take her or try to help her. She has gotten kicked out of veterinary clinics but she is so sweet. I found Josette and her team online and I thought I would try it. Sent a message and we met. My girl Harley we found out has fear aggression that she inherited. Josette wanted to help her and I was so happy someone wanted to help. She went for a 3 week board and train and I was so nervous leaving her because you could not leash her she would get scared and try to bite. Couple of days I got a message letting me know how she was and she was not doing so good but Josette was not giving up. I then got a video of her leashed and walking. Now is Harley 100% fixed no but 3 weeks later I picked her up and I noticed a big difference in her. She explained what I had to do to work with her. I still work with her and it’s amazing her progress. Some of the things I never knew Harley needed. Josette helped Harley when no one would and I’m so grateful for her and her team. I would never send Harley anywhere even if Harley didn’t have problems. She did go for daycare and soon needs to go back lol. But she went months after her training and Harley did so good. I’m so happy Harley is happy there. It was the best money I have ever spent. So if you are thinking about taking your dog anywhere for training and daycare GO HERE! They don’t give up and they really care about your pup! Don’t even look at other places they are not even good. If you want the best Future k9 is the place! I am forever grateful for their help with Harley and even invites her to daycare. Thank you Josette and her team for all the help and care you give to Harley.
For ten years, I hesitated every going away or doing anything that involved leaving my dogs. Thanks to future k9 I don’t think twice about booking a trip! They are so flexible and good to our dogs! I know they are safe and taken care of. The best!
Josette is absolutely wonderful with our 3 year old Golden. We got Hank when he was 15 months old with some very bad habits and behavior. After his two week boot camp he was so much better and could go off leash in most situations. Josette is a great trainer and Hank loves to stay with her and all his dog buddies! I would highly recommend Josette and Future K9 for training, boarding or day care.
Thanks to the team @ Future K9 for their excellent care of our little guy. We’re grateful we found you & Storybook Vet Hospital! It’s evident you clearly love what you do!
Josette and her team are amazing! We rescued Leo and quickly found out he was reactive and will bite when he gets overwhelmed. We could not take him anywhere with fear he would bite someone. Her training has completely changed him. Leo now has structure in his life and is well behaved. We can take him with us anywhere and is a very sweet boy!!
Josette and her team of trainers are amazing. Our Great Dane pup came back from training totally new and amazing. Have boarded our older pup many times. Will continue to recommend them for training and boarding to all of my friends and family.
My fiancé and I adopted a pup awhile back and soon after we adopted her we realized we had our hands full. I was referred to Josette by a friend and I’m so glad we decided to use her. We ended up doing a board and train and when we got our dog back she was a completely different dog. She wasn’t perfect but we could actually live with her and enjoy her company where as before she was a nightmare and keeping us up all hours of the day. She is still a work in progress even a year and a half later but knowing I can reach out to Josette any time for questions or help with something brings me a lot of relief. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. We now board our pup there as well knowing everything is structured and she won’t lose all the effort we’ve put into her. Any future dog we adopt we will definitely be going to Josette for. Also her entire team is very sweet and knowledgeable and helpful! 10/10 recommend.
Couldn’t ask for better!! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs. Josette has taken our little jack russell from being extraordinarily dog aggressive and has given him the skills and commands to avoid situations where his aggression might be triggered. Just recently with his boarding she was able to allow him to safely be out with another dog outside of his housemate! She has also taken our highly anxious corgi mix and given him so much confidence. He is no longer anxious while in his kennel. We love Josette and trust her always with our pets. If you can continue to put the work in with your pets after training, she will give you the tools you need to have long term success.
My wife and I were nervous about leaving our 2 dogs anywhere while on a weekend trip. 4 year old Shepard and 10 year old Sheltie. Our Sheltie has bad arthritis so the concern was mainly with him. All of our concerns were addressed upon arrival. Josette couldn’t have been more understanding. While we were on our trip, she sent us a video of the Shepard playing with the other dogs having a ball! He kept going back to check on the small dog who was laying down watching as he was playing with the big dogs. We couldn’t be happier with the attention to detail and knowledge of Josette and her staff. 10 stars if I could. Thank you. We will be back.
Very happy with their boarding services. My dog loves going there, and they are so good with her that I never worry while she is boarded there. Left my dog with them a couple weeks ago for an entire week while on vacation, and again they were great with her.
I completely recommend. They are great with dogs and know exactly what they are doing. The facility is well taken care of and so are the dogs. So if your looking for a safe and affordable place to board your dogs I recommend Dun Travlin to everyone.
Our dog was well taken care of and interacted with daily. He was very happy there. Truly the owners understand dogs and love them with all their hearts.
We've been customers for over a decade, and dogs always come home happy and well cared for, not stressed from "warehousing." These guys genuinely care about your fur-family. Prices have inevitably risen with new owners, but are still quite fair. I recommend Dun to everyone that asks.
Consistently kind, friendly, and professional. For the past 20 years we have left golden retrievers and now CC the bulldog. Facility is clean and dogs have been excited to go there. CC once even got a bath (poison oak). We trust Dun Travlin.
Our dog stayed here for a week and they where so nice. The kernels where clean and he was well taken care of.
They are awesome! Took wonderful care of my girl! We’ll see you next year!
My dog was boarded here for the first time in her life. She was afraid but they worked with her and she was fine.Kennels are clean and they care about your pet.
they are a great place!!!! i love it.
Nice owners, fair prices. Our dogs have been several times.
I cannot say enough great things about Ruff Day Resort! The staff's passion for what they do is evident from the moment you walk in. Winston has been attending Tiny Town for about six months now, twice a week, and he absolutely adores it. The team is incredibly accommodating with scheduling, which is such a relief for a busy pet parent like myself. Winston comes home exhausted from all the fun he has with his furry friends, often passing out in the car on the way back. Thank you, Ruff Day Resort, for providing such a safe and enjoyable environment for our beloved pets!
My dogs have been going to Ruff Day for daycare, boarding and training for the past two and half years. The staff is always attentive and makes sure my pups feel loved when they are away from my family. The facility is beautiful and I love the fact that the yards are turf so there is no muddy paws coming home. Highly recommend!
We've had such a good experience at Ruff Day since we started. Their facilities are top notch and the people are kind and accommodating. They were able to give our pup medication during boarding and I really appreciated the care he got.
* Since I cannot reply to the reply I’m editing I was not happy in June as they canceled and rescheduled multiple times groom was great. I was happy with the groom! This last visit yes the pups looked great but YOU CHARGED me without telling me the total and without consent. You charged me before we picked up!! If we don’t come in the increase should be communicated with and before services. Read additional reviews others have been charged without notice and extra fees without communication!!! See review 2 months ago from boarding charges. Took my dogs for grooming 2, 20lbs dogs no mats for a basic haircut. They upped the price without telling us. This was a $40 increase from last visit. They charged my card before I got there without authorization. I called to speak to the manager. Amy’s response increases were posted for 30 days in July. Ok still should tell the customer! They charged me $188 that’s crazy! I did not authorize this I was not made aware of the crazy price increase. When challenged Amy says we have you on camera bringing them in for groom. Ok yes not saying we weren’t there!! Again, charged we without my permission and without communicating the price!! I now have the next appointment at a different groomer $65 each. This place is a rip off go somewhere else!!!!
From a financial standpoint, it cost us over $900 to board our dog for one week. We paid the initial fee two weeks prior. Then , in the middle of our vacation, received another bill of almost $400 that no one told us about. They just emailed the bill without any explanation of additional charges. It should have been something told to us up front, that there was a chance of additional charges or at they very least they should have called before billing us. We have been to several kennels (they were all booked) and have never received additional charges like that. During our pup's stay, they did call us to tell us they had to make some modifications to her arrangements, but they never mentioned those came with a cost. Very disappointed in the customer service. Much prefer Paws and Claws where dogs are not crated and additional fees are not placed upon the dog's stay.
Another great stay at Ruff Day for our 2 year old Boston Blanche. She gets so excited when we pull in the driveway. She can get a little rambunctious so she is placed with dogs matching her energy. They take such good care of her. All the employees love her and I can tell the feeling is mutual. I recommend Ruff Day for either a one day play day or overnight if you are planning a trip.
I cannot recommend Ruff Day highly enough! My dog has attended daycare for two years and HE LOVES IT! The staff is caring and kind, and the ratio of staff to dogs is low so that dogs are properly supervised. There are so many big and little things that this facility attends to that I cannot imagine going anywhere else. LOVE RUFF DAY!!!
I've been bringing my dog to Ruff Day since he was a baby for daycare and boarding. He's grown up with them! Ruff Day has become such a safe and reliable resource for me, a working dog mom, to keep my boy active and happy when I can't be there for him. I trust wholeheartedly that they would do every right thing for my boy should something happen... and I felt that comfort with them from the start 2 years ago. Their facility is spotless, it's big, fun, and comfy for the dogs. I highly recommend Ruff Day! 10/10 on all fronts.
In response to Russell Arturo's review. I applaud Ruff Day Resort for making room and accommodations for your dog Layla, even WITHOUT her mandated vaccinations!! I can tell you that Amy and her staff have always been professional and caring for our dog. I would also like to point out that other day cares in the area would have told you "tough luck" about leaving for vacation in 20 minutes and not taking care of your dog's vaccines, to keep her (and other dogs) safe from disease, even with 6 months time to do so! You seem as though you do not care about your Layla (or other dogs), as much as your vacation! I truly hope your vacation was worth it and I pray that poor Layla is provided better care by you moving forward.
This dog daycare is the best. They make sure that the dogs are vaccinated so that everyone is safe. They remove collars when the dogs come in so no one gets hurt on a collar. They only take appointments to make sure that there is a good human/dog ratio. Their priority is the care and safety of the dogs. My puppy, Taylor gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot. We tried another daycare prior to this one. Trust me, if you want to ensure the safety of your fur baby, this is the daycare to go to!
I highly recommend Rochester NY Dogs for all of your dog training needs! Charlotte is a Weimaraner / Pitt mix. She is the sweetest dog, but wasn’t always …
Mike was very professional and attentive when it came to communicating. While on my week and a half vacation Mike sent photos and video of my 12 year old American Eskimo. He treated him as if he was one of his own. Milo has some health issues and Mike made me feel very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. When we picked up Milo I honestly don’t think Milo was to come home with us, that’s how much he loved Mike. Anytime I go away for a long period of time I will definitely make the 2 hour drive to have Mike watch my pup. Highly recommend!!!
Within hours of finding him, Mike reached out to me and was able to watch my dog the very next day. My dog, Bear, is a handful and has some severe separation anxiety, but Mike updated me regularly and worked great with Bear to build his confidence and make him comfortable. Mike's experience as trainer for so may years really made me feel comfortable that he could handle anything! I will most certainly be using Mike's services again!
Found Michael on line when looking for a pet sitter, which was coming up fast! Mike was very flexible and prices extremely reasonable. We left our anxious 5 yr old German Shepard rescue on Saturday and came back on Friday to more confident, happy dog. Nevada enjoyed playing with the other dogs, is more relaxed and hides less in her safe corner. Before we left she would run from the room when the TV was on, last night she stayed with us for hours! Will be calling Mike again and can say with confidence you will love your experience too. Thank you Mike!!
Mike helped us with our adopted, rescue 8 month old American Bully and we are extremely grateful for all of his knowledge and experience and help. Before we met with Mike, our 45lbs pup had no socializing, no pup training, didn't know basic command, come, sit, stay, his hind legs were very weak. After Mike worked with him he now understands basic commands, goes up and down stairs, socialize with others, walks without pulling, he's becoming very energetic guy. I would and have recommended Mike service to others..
Michael is a phenomenal trainer. He knows dogs inside and out and I don’t think he’s met a dog yet that he couldn’t train, including dogs that other trainers gave up on. Our GSD, Tori, has an excellent 3 week board and train. Michael’s follow up sessions for training the humans were targeted and informative. I thought I knew dogs well, and I learned so much. Highly recommended!!
We found Michael through google after looking all over the place for someone who could come to the house and assist us in training our dogs who are in pretty different stages. We have a 7 year old dog who needed a refresher in some of the basics as well as helping me to make our walks fun again as she has gotten more leash-reactive as the years have gone on. We also have a 6 month old puppy who needed the basics. I knew that no class was going to give me the training for both dogs at the same time and my and my partner's schedules are both pretty busy. Our experience with Michael was an absolute pleasure, he was quick to respond, professional and able to fit us right in. We did the 5 class package with him, which has worked out beautifully. We both loved his style of training as he ensures to explain the reasoning behind his techniques and behavioral interventions, which really helped with understanding the greater concept and how to apply it across a variety of behaviors. He always made himself available to answer any questions we had between sessions and our dogs were absolutely exhausted after every session (which was an added bonus). His pricing is fantastic for any in-home dog trainer based on the research that I did into other trainers in the area, especially for 2 dogs. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for help with training their dog and will definitely be keeping him in mind for if we have more dog training or boarding needs in the future.
We adopted a dog recently and found out she had some separation anxiety, and since we live in an apartment we couldn’t have constant barking while we were gone. I found this out the second day we had her, and Mike got us in 2 days later! Due to the pandemic, we were not eager to meet in person, so he was able to coach us via Skype. We have had a couple sessions so far and she now only barks for a couple minutes and settles herself in. His help was greatly appreciated!!! Highly recommend Mike!
We started puppy training with Mike the day after we got our 9 week old chocolate lab puppy, Diesel. We were nervous first time dog owners and Mike did a great job to make us feel comfortable in training our new puppy! Mike gave us the tools, confidence, and support to ensure Diesel was a well trained dog! Thank you Mike! -Kalin and Derek
Mike is an excellent dog trainer in the Rochester area who I can readily recommend without reservation. He has worked closely with my Shiba Inu puppy since I brought her home from the breeder and has expertly guided me through crate training, teething, basic obedience, and socialization training. He is extremely knowledgable, accomodating, friendly, and patient with dog owners of all experience levels.
We have never left our sweet Harley with anyone that she truly didn't now. Lauryn made the experience seamless and easy! She visited for a meet and greet prior to us leaving for a long weekend away and was comforted by her acknowledging our worries and set us at ease. She came for three visits throughout the day, feeding, walking and provided lots of playtime and snuggles. She communicated and sent pictures with each visit, I highly recommend A step Above and Beyond, LLC for your pet care needs. She also has additional pet care services if needed, check out her website. Thank you Lauryn for giving my family and I peace of mind while away!
Lauryn took exceptional care of our two cats- taking extra care to make sure they were safe, comfortable, and happy. She went out of her way to return one day when one cat was being fussy and not eating, and also wanted to check in on them (and the house) during bad weather. There was great communication with Lauryn before, during, and after her time taking care of our pets. We really enjoyed the daily photos/videos and regular updates. She clearly has a great amount of experience and love for animals (she gave a lot of individual attention to each cat). The best thing about Lauryn’s service was the peace of mind that we enjoyed knowing that they were being expertly taken care of while we were away. We look forward to using her services again in the future and highly recommend her!
Lauryn went above and beyond to provide my young dog with a fun-filled day. She even sent regular updates to let me know how things were going. Highly recommended!
Lauryn did a great job caring for our two cats while we traveled. She sent pictures, was responsive about food and supplies, and gave our kitties love and attention. When we had concerns about the programming of our automatic cat feeder, she even made an extra trip to check on them around the holidays. I’d highly recommend Lauryn. She’s great!
We took our 15 month old Shihtzu to stay a day and overnight with Lauryn. He was a pampered pup! Lauryn took him for walks on his leash, he played in her fenced in back yard with her dog, and he met some of her dog’s friends down the street! Lauryn took pictures and videos of our pup’s adventures and texted them to us while we were away. Lauryn’s communication is excellent. We met with Lauryn and her dog the week before and I was so impressed with her love of animals. Lauryn treated our pup like he was her own. I would definitely recommend Lauryn’s pet care service and we will be visiting again!
We would highly recommend Lauryn as a pet sitter! She was referred to us by friends whose family has enjoyed and valued her services. She didn’t disappoint. We have two small dogs. When she came, one was 9 and was being treated for an eye abrasion and needed eye drops three times per day and the other was 7 months who had just gone into heat! I was concerned as I was afraid that one wouldn’t cooperate with a stranger to put in eye drops and that I had never had a dog in heat in my life and neither had Lauryn. It worked out so well. Lauryn sent us pictures and an update every morning and answered each time we contacted her. She had Sylvester under control and spent time with them every visit! We were so relieved and so comfortable after the first day! Our last experience (pre Covid) with another sitter put us on edge and we only had one dog then, so this experience was just the opposite! The dogs were relaxed and comfortable with her and so were we. I hope we never lose Lauryn as our sitter! Joan Spencer
Lauryn and Dave watched our Golden Retriever overnight and it was an outstanding experience! We received photos throughout her stay and it was evident that Lauryn is an animal lover- she even brushed our dog! I highly recommend Lauryn and Dave; they cared for our dog as if she were a member of their family.
We were very pleased with the services Lauryn provided for our 2 guinea pigs Rover and Sparky. We did a meet and greet prior to dropping them off. Her house is very tidy and clean. Felt she was very thorough and had us complete a sheet for how to care for them while we were gone. She took the time to send us daily photo updates and gave the pigs lots of extra cuddles while we were away. She kept the cage clean and provided them with daily treats and food. She also had a special spot for them ready to go when I dropped them off. She provides various payment methods as well. I would highly recommend her services.
Bubba has Idiopathic Epilepsy and it's been hard for us to leave him due to his condition. Most boarding facilities do not accept special needs dogs. Also finding a dog sitter that has experience and we can fully trust was also a challenge. Then I stumbled upon Pet Care by A Step Above and Beyond and quickly inquired. I received a quick response from Lauryn and she asked unbiased and necessary questions about our dog so she can better judge if they can take him in. Bubba is also a rescue so we weren't really comfortable bringing him into a kennel since the environment will bring him stress. Finding out that A Step Above and Beyond is an in-home pet care gave us the peace of mind we were looking for for a pet boarding facility. Lauryn is so kind, professional, and knowledgeable with pet care. She and her husband welcomed our Bubba into their home and took excellent care of him. They communicated well with us in terms of if Bubba has a seizure and they went above and beyond to meet our requests. Lauryn never missed a day to update me with photos and videos which every furparent will appreciate. Bubba's stay was so amazing he did not wanna leave the couch when we picked him up. We highly recommend A Step Above and Beyond! ❤️
Best experience ever! Lauryn took care of our 3 active dogs over our wedding weekend. She gave them their medication and all the love they needed. She took the time to update me. We did a meet and greet and my timid German Shepard went right up to her, leaned into her legs and smiled as she and I spoke. I knew my fur babies would be very happy while we were gone!
