“Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!”
“Christine was absolutely wonderful and accommodating my last minute boarding request! She was super attentive and made sure to communicate with me throughout Zosie’s entire stay. My pup had the best time and I can tell she was very well loved and taken care of while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Christine again for any future stays ❤️”
“Cooper was very well taken care of and we think he felt part of the family. We also received thorough updates all the time during his visit. We will definitely book again as soon as we are in need! Thank you Wenxin!”
“Chen and his family did a wonderful job taking care of Ume for the week. It was a last minute trip for me, so I was grateful for the quick response and many wonderful updates. He sent professional looking photos of my dog on their walks and daily routine. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will follow your dog's routine and communicate regularly, Chen's your dog sitter. His daughter was there to translate as well and that was helpful in person. I have already booked them for my next trip.”
“Once again, Coco had a great time and was doted over! Many pictures sent to me allowed me to not worry at all while away. Highly recommend Danielle and will definitely book again.”
“Miumie was excellent! She went above and beyond taking care of Nanako, preparing a comfortable space in her home and even buying Nanako some toys! Miumie took the cutest pictures and videos of our puppy and shared them multiple times a day. She took Nanako on fun outdoors adventures and was prepared to handle the extra challenges that come with caring for a young puppy. Pickup and drop off were on time and convenient for our travel schedules!”
“Yagmur and her partner took excellent care of my special needs dog. The steps up to their apartment were a bit challenging for him, but they managed him beautifully. I am so appreciative of the care that provided to him.”
“Mariola and her daughter are the loveliest people who loved Marcel like he was their own. I got daily texts and photos and Marcel looked healthier and happier than when I left him there! Thank you ?❤️?❤️?”
“Marlene and her family were absolutely amazing! We left Bean with them for 12 days while we were out of the country, and had such peace of mind knowing how lovingly he was being cared for. They sent regular updates and we could tell Bean was genuinely happy being with them. He grew very attached and close to them. We will definitely reach out to Marlene to care for Bean again.”
“I can tell Sybil had a great time because when it was time to go she curled up in Maria's lap and didn't want to leave 😅. Maria clearly has a way with dogs and my pup had a great time playing with her son as well. Thanks Maria!”
“Ross and family took amazing care of Clover and Willow! They seems extremely relaxed and to get along well with Millie. I didn’t worry about them during our trip. Super thankful and would love to have the girls stay again!”
“My dog Zazu had a great time with Ashish! Great communication and lots of pictures of my dog having fun. Would definitely recommend Ashish and will continue to bring my pets in the future!”
“Cassy and Kizemt were awesome! We had difficulties with our previous dog sitter, so were a little skittish leaving Merrick to go on vacation for over a week. Cassy met with us ahead of time so that we could get to know her and her pup. During our trip, Cassy sent us regular photos and videos of Merrick having a blast on hikes and adventures--he definitely got a little vacay, too! She even gave him a bath before we picked him up. Everything about the sitting was fantastic. Cassy is incredibly friendly and easy to be in contact with. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Banksy had an amazing time at Luna's and loved playing with Jim. I felt extremely comfortable leaving Banksy with Luna, based on the questions she asked about Banksy, her attention to detail about his needs and safety, and just her kind warm personality! I loved the pictures each day. I wholeheartedly recommend Luna and will definitely be having her watch Banksy again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience leaving our dog with Kate! Kate sent daily pictures and updates, so we never had to worry about how our pup was doing; we could actually relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing she was in such caring hands. Kate's own dog, Rootie, is the sweetest thing, adorable, and so well-behaved, which says a lot about the loving environment she provides. It's clear that dogs are happy and comfortable in her care. We're so glad we got to meet Kate and sweet Rootie, and we'll definitely be knocking on their door again the next time we travel. Highly recommend!”
“We will always book with Porsche as long as she takes us! Hugo can be a stubborn frenchie and she has learned his personality overtime. She sent us photo updates while we were gone and Hugo looked like he was having the best time!”
“Julie was amazing with her flexibility and patience helping me make sure Mila was taken care of. Mila took to her charming personality quickly and she took excellent care of my little one. Julie also takes amazing photos! I felt so at ease knowing Mila was in her care. Thank you tons for working with my crazy schedule too, it was much appreciated!”
“Abigail went above and beyond to care for our two dogs while we were away for 2 weeks. We have two dogs in very different life stages (one is elderly and required medication and one is young and highly energetic). She catered to them both perfectly and sent updates everyday while we were away. We have the upmost confidence in Abigail, she is genuinely kind and attentive. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Albany
Robert and Luviana took care of my senior dog for 5 days while I was out of town. All went well- beginning with a meet and greet, personalized and individualized care during her stay, and ending with a very easy transition back home. My anxious senior dog who experiences separation anxiety and arthritis had the easiest transition back to home life that I have experienced with Rover. Robert and Luciana displayed patience, understanding and commitment to ease Violet's stress. In addition to general care, they gave her exercise and companionship each day. Communication was excellent. Thanks for caring for Violet!
We couldn't be happier working with Alexis. We have a sweet senior Shepard mix with a lot of anxiety. Alexis gave him a lot of love and care. Her communication and ability to handle unexpected situations with our dog made our vacation less stressful. We absolutely will work with her again.
Christine was an amazing dog host! Great communication, caring for my senior dog, and we did an intro with her dog Shrimp ahead of time to make sure they would hit it off together. She sent pictures and updates, and was very accommodating for our crazy schedule. 10/10, would absolutely hire again.
We have entrusted our pup in Manny’s care a number of times now, and we feel at ease knowing she is in good hands. We love that Manny takes her on regular walks and that his dog Winnie is a companion for her. It’s great that Manny has a doggie door, so she is free to go outside when she wants. We always appreciate the photos Manny sends of our pup while we are away. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!
Ning cared so thoughtfully for my puppy, who needed overnight care while I was moving. Even though my puppy’s second overnight ever and first time with Ning, she was more relaxed. I could tell she was tired but not overstimulated. Ning also was communicative about some specific concerns I had with my puppy’s health/behavior and was attentive to keeping a routine for my puppy in the midst of so many changes. Thank you so much, Ning, I’m so grateful!
Chen and his family did a wonderful job taking care of Ume for the week. It was a last minute trip for me, so I was grateful for the quick response and many wonderful updates. He sent professional looking photos of my dog on their walks and daily routine. If you're looking for a dog sitter who will follow your dog's routine and communicate regularly, Chen's your dog sitter. His daughter was there to translate as well and that was helpful in person. I have already booked them for my next trip.
Andre took amazing care of my dog while I was out of town. Very communicative, thoughtful, detail oriented, and attentive. We were so happy to see the updates and felt very comfortable that our dog would be happy, safe, and healthy in his hands while we were away! Highly recommend Andre and will be a repeated customer
Such a great first dog sitting experience. Jonathan has such a calm and loving personality he was a perfect 4th of July dog sitter for my pup who can really struggle with fireworks. Very attentive sent photos daily of walks I will definitely reach out again and hope he is available
Hope is great with nervous dogs and makes them feel comfortable and loved. We booked her last minute for a week long trip caused by a family emergency, and it was so nice to not have to worry about our pup. Hope is very communicative and sends lots of pics and videos. Great sitter!
Finny had a wonderful time staying with Eve. She treated him like the special guy that he is and he came home at the end of the day happy and tired. Eve made sure he got plenty of exercise and loads of special attention, along with the chance to interact and socialize with other dog friends. We both could not have been happier. Thank you Eve!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Albany on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,770 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Albany. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Albany sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Albany landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Albany home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Albany.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Albany sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
