My name is Elicia & I recently moved to Ithaca! I’m an Anthropology PhD Candidate, but am back in the US from my dissertation work. I follow all CDC guidelines to slow the spread of COVID19 (available on 08/24, which is after a 2 week quarantine). I'm originally from Los Angeles & have lived in PA, CO, & AR. I’ve taken care of pets since 2006 & love to keep pups company when their parents are away! I enjoy going on long walks and would love to explore this new city with your pup!

I grew up with lots of different pets, and loved animals so much I got a degree in Wildlife! I have over a year’s experience working in a small animal vet hospital, and I am hoping to go to vet school eventually so that I can continue working with animals for the rest of my life. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I can’t wait to meet your dog!

Dog Walking in Watkins Glen
Watkins Glen is a village nestled on the southern shore of Seneca Lake, right in the heart of New York's Finger Lakes. Scenic parks and trails make Watkins Glen a furrific place to visit with your pooch. In case your furry buddy needs to see a vet, there is one animal hospital looking after the village's critters.
See and explore Watkins Glen with Fido by going on the 1 Mile Urban Trail! Start anywhere on North Franklin or North Decatur Streets, and follow the painted race cars on the sidewalks. The trail will take you and your doggo down the Main Street business district and along the waterfront. Getting back to where you began means you have covered 1 mile.
Worked up an appetite from walking around town? Head to El Rancho Mexican Restaurant and Grill to grab a bite to eat. Snag an outdoor table at their gated alfresco dining area, where you can dig into your meal with Fido by your side. Vegetarian entrees are available.
If you're looking for dog-friendly accommodations in Watkins Glen, book a room at the Idlwilde Inn. This Victorian bed and breakfast welcomes well-behaved, four-legged guests in the carriage house for an additional fee. There are only two pet-friendly rooms, so book early!
