I was told that Pine Plains was a good vet. I tried to bring my pet there when my current vet…read morepractice had staffing problems and referred me. I called them and told I needed to email information from prior vet and be "reviewed" before pets would be seen. After I called them to confirm they received emails and asked them to call me when they got emails they said "No, they were too busy". I understand they are busy, but then I was told curtly that I already called "several times". Basically, they were telling me to not call again. Message received, I just waited longer to be seen by current vet.

There is no better dog sitting/day care/overnight place in Columbia County. Hands down. I have two…read moredoxies who have lived with, played with, and trained with the folks at HVDF and they LOVE IT. LOVE. One is a HUNTER and is not the easiest in wide open spaces and my other is a relatively low level elder. They both thrive. There are people who do this because it is a business, and there are people who do this because they love dogs. They get dogs. There is confidence in bringing your dogs to a place where they get to be in their best lives and selves. This is just, hands down, a wonderful place.

This place is truly heaven for dogs and dog-parents. My one-year-old dog Ralph had developed some…read morebad habits from daycare and needed to be retrained. Kara, the owner of the farm, is truly a gem. She helped Ralph become the best version of himself. She sent photos and videos every day, and even helped train him for things I has not even asked for! She was always responsive to texts and calls immediately. I knew my dog was loved and taken care of while he spent a month at the farm. She even followed up to see how he was doing after I brought him home! I wish I could give this place 10000 stars. Thank you kara and team for loving Ralph so much!!!!

Patty and her Pet Palace were an absolute blessing to my three cats and myself. My kitties stayed…read morethere for about two months, while I was dealing with a bunch of health issues in another state. Her safety and cleanliness standards are very high, so I knew they would be well taken care of, I just didn't know how much! Patty ended up falling in love with my little trio. She sent me pictures of them, and long emails about how each was doing. The maximum amount of cats is 4, so they were nearly always the only cats there, and thus got extra space to roam. My oldest cat gets apple cider vinegar and chicken broth every day for upper respiratory congestion, and Patty made little frozen cubes of the mixture, so that none of the broth would go bad. But wait, there's more! Like I said, I was in one state, all my doc appts were in another, Patty is in NY, and my next stop was moving to Colorado. I hired a transportation company to move my animals, and when communication went south with them and my stress level was soaring because I was literally in back-to-back appointments most days, trying to find a Vet who could come to Patty's and write my cats a Travel Health Certificate each and getting no where, Patty stepped right up, and handled everything. She made a Vet appt, brought all my cats to the Vet, sent me pictures of the Certificates, and even dealt with unpleasant emails from the travel company. Literally, all I had to do was pay the Vet over the phone. It was incredible and such an enormous relief. I would recommend Patty and her Palace to anyone, without hesitation.

I really appreciate the fresh air in this country setting and am jealous that my dog gets the benefit of heated floors in the chilly months....as opposed to the pot belly stove that another place used.
