Awesome place. Let our dog there a couple times. Hide is retrofitted so bottom floor and yard of for the dogs. Price is reasonable for the service you get. Videos and pictures of your dog everyday they have him/her. Awesome place. 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!

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.

I've been boarding Duke (Huskey-lab mix) here for a couple years and I wouldn't consider taking him anyplace else. John takes great care of all his dog guests and sends tons of pictures so you can feel comfortable with how your doggo is doing. The house is in a great location with lots of great amenities. Look no further - you can feel 100% confident your dog will be personally cared for in the best way ever.

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!

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!

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!

Sheperd and Grey is wonderful daycare for those who want to ensure their dog gets individualized, loving attention, whilst engaging them and keeping them active. John, the owner, has a lovely home catered to the dogs’ needs and plenty of nature surrounding for the dogs to play in. He also has a way with dogs.We have had a great experience here and would highly recommend it to others.

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 have finally found a great place for our dog to stay. I love how clean and comfortable it is. They also do small groups so it’s not overwhelming for Charlie. I know he’s well taken care of and get lots of walks. I would never leave him anywhere else. John is the best.

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.

I am so happy that we found Shepherd and Grey. I can't say enough good things about John, the owner. He is professional, reliable and very experienced when it comes to caring for dogs. Most importantly, our dog, Jackson, loves going there and always comes home happy and relaxed (and this is saying a lot since our dog has some anxiety). John sends daily photos and videos which we appreciate. We fully trust John with our dog and highly recommend him.
