Another four-day week of school in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., and the kids are here for it! Be the change and do a random act of kindness this week in honor of the late Dr. King.

The summer will be here before you know it and that means travel plans for most. If you are taking a family vacation and need pet-sitting services, look no further than Aspen’s Corner. 

Aspen’s Corner is a small at-home boarding facility in Cochecton, NY, that offers an alternative to a typical kennel boarding experience. 

Heather will watch and care for your furry friends with in-home stays, and your pets are truly a part of their family and get to experience all the comforts of home.

The owner, Heather Ryder, is a certified professional dog trainer through CCPDT (the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers) and a Canine Good Citizen evaluator through the AKC. Heather also completed the Karen Pryor Professional Program, and has years of experience caring for a variety of pets and livestock. 

Heather offers a meet-and-greet before your pet stays, to make sure they are a good fit. She takes care of your pet as she would one of her own animals. 

In addition to boarding, Aspen’s Corner offers basic obedience training, grooming, drop-in visits and day care. To learn more, call 845/701-2950  or email info@aspen
