Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Cortland West

Cortland West

Cortland West is a mostly rural and industrial area. Most residents head over to Cortland just minutes to the east for shopping, dining, and recreation. However, Doug's Fish Fry is on the Cortland West side of town and is a great casual eatery where you and your pup can enjoy plenty of delicious food at one of their two outdoor tables! You have to go inside to order, though, so you may want to bring another two-legged friend with you to hold the leash for a minute! Citizens Park is just a few minutes from Doug's Fish Fry and has picnic tables and open fields for an afternoon of dog-friendly fun.

Central Cortland

Central Cortland is just a few minutes from Cortland West and is a great place to bring your pup for the day! Hairy Tony's is a unique, dog-friendly gastropub with plenty of dining options that you can enjoy in their outdoor seating area. There is a little something for all of the taste buds around the table -- you can enjoy everything from fresh salads to New Orleans pasta dishes! If you are looking to get some exercise, Yaman Park is just a few minutes away on the northern side of Cortland. This park is a puptastic wooded area with a lakefront beach and even a skate park to offer entertainment for the whole family!

Summer Hill State Forest

Summer Hill State Forest is a beautiful dense forest with 4,355 acres of nature for you to explore, just twenty minutes from Cortland West. Visitors are able to hike, ski, hunt, and ride horses all through this park. Dogs are welcome on-leash. You will want a harness for sure, as some of the terrain may be more challenging, especially after rain or snow.

The area was settled first in 1792 and developed in the early 1900s.

Donahue Woods State Forest

Donahue Woods State Forest is 30 minutes from Cortland West and is a pupperific natural oasis with more than 1,000 acres of rugged recreational land where you can hunt, view wildlife, hike, and even bring a snowmobile during the winter! The forest has an access road that runs right in the middle. There are no formal hiking trails, so many hikers use the access road to get from one end to the other. You can hike anywhere in the park as long as there are no posted signs stating otherwise. Dogs are permitted on leashes and with proper licenses. The park was originally used as part of the area's agricultural development, which failed to flourish due to poor soil quality.

Taylor Valley State Forest

Taylor Valley State Forest is about 30 minutes from Cortland West. It is also known as Seacord Hill and is comprised of 4,638 acres. This tail-waggin' forest is great for family recreation throughout the year, with plenty of space to hike, camp, and observe nature.
