Grand View Canine Care

We are a growing family-run business with roots that began on a small dairy farm in the hills of Arkport, NY. Aptly named Grand View Farm for its scenic location, the care we gave to our animals transcends to this day. While we no longer cater to cattle, our inspiration also comes from being the proud owners of some very large breed dogs (Great Dane-St Bernard crosses) that are often jokingly referred to as our horses or heifers. Challenges arose when seeking a place where we felt comfortable enough to board these members of our family. There were few places we found that valued the things that mean the most to us: praise, patience, honesty, communication, and a commitment to a healthy lifestyle (cleanliness, exercise in a low-stress country location, and high quality products/foods). Many places, especially when it came to grooming such large dogs, refused service. At this stage we are offering grooming, pet sitting and dog walking services to meet your needs, in our home or yours. We are exploring the best options in terms of a facility to operate out of and offer canine care at its finest. We are excited to see what the future holds! Our business owner and resident groomer is Cornell University graduate Patricia Robords. With a strong background in animal husbandry and a wide variety of animal handling experiences ranging from horse boarding to dairy farming and dog training, Patricia is excited to utilize the education she received from the Rochester Institute of Dog Grooming! She is also excited to support our community through organizations like 4-H and animal rescue.
