“They were awesome! Every day they sent us updates on how our dog was doing, including photos and little bits and pieces about their day. As someone who is nervous about leaving their dog, this was super reassuring. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely rebook with them again!!”
“Lee is incredible! We boarded our dog Mochi with her for two weeks while we traveled, and Lee took wonderful care of her. Mochi can be nervous around new people and dogs, and Lee made sure she was comfortable and safe in her care. Lee is also super communicative and responsive, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Danielle was amazing!! Took such great care of our pup Rosie, kept us up to date with plenty of pics and videos. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone else and we are so incredibly appreciative of Danielle’s care and attention.”
“I had a wonderful experience boasting my little French Bulldog with Alina and her family. She sent photos of them exploring the neighborhood on walks which I know my dog loves to do. Alina is great at communicating regularly and is so kind. I could tell that my dog was happy when I picked her up. Highly recommend!”
“Alexis provided excellent daycare for Roxer today. She kept him engaged and active, sent cute photo updates throughout the day, and he came home tired and happy. Roxer most definitely enjoyed his time and I will definitely use Alexis again for daycare needs!”
“Charlene was welcoming, responsive and very Cass ring for our pooch!! Our Rosie got a little sick and had an accident and Charlene took such sweet care of her and fed her pumpkin to help calm Rosie’s stomach. Will definitely work w Charlene again!”
“Kelly is the best sitter ever! My spoiled, high energy Yorkie is treated like the prince that he thinks he is when staying at Kelly’s house. He gets lots of attention, special treats, individual playtime, and has a lot of fun. I highly recommend Kelly.”
“Sam is so lovely and was amazing with handling our energetic pup. Her husband also takes some amazing photos of our pup—giving us frequent updates about his activity.”
“Bowie had a great time staying with Michelle! He was fortunate to share the space with a couple other dogs who he looooved to play with and he came home well exercised and ready to cuddle. I would absolutely recommend staying with Michelle.”
“Kennia was absolutely wonderful – she was communicative and professional, and our dog obviously had an amazing time hanging out with other pups and exploring the huge parks nearby! Highly recommended. Thank you, Kennia!”
“I had zero worries after I brought my Ziggy over for the meet & greet. Jakree kept me up to date with everything and sent plenty of pics. I would not hesitate to request him again to watch Ziggy.”
“Ingyin did a fabulous job watching our dog! She kept in constant contact and sent multiple photos and videos daily of our dog. She was very flexible and accommodating when it came to coordinating the drop off and pick up.”
“Stefanile is a great sitter. She was incredibly accommodating and patient in dealing with my dog—a rather shy, introverted, and somewhat challenging dog. Given her deep understanding of canine personalities and traits, as well as her extensive experience as a sitter, I was able to entrust Chaco to her care with peace of mind. She sent updates and photos, making communication very easy. Thank you!”
“Uriel is absolutely incredible! I could not recommend him more. He is kind, attentive, and kept us in the loop with cute pics while our puppy was with him. Will be working with him again 100%”

“Chad was caring and patient with my dog, and he was very responsive to my messages. He was able to stay home with her and provided regular updates, and it gave me peace of mind that she was in good hands while my husband and I were at our wedding.”
“Our dog did well . As this is his first visit and first time boarding , he was comfortable in the environment with other dogs . Yena was patient and knowledgeable. We are coming back and scheduled our next visits.”

Dylan was an excellent choice for watching our dog. He kept in touch consistently and sent photos and videos of our pet having a great time. He was responsive to questions about pickup/drop off, and he also reached out when our dog was briefly sick. I will definitely be booking again with him!
Another wonderful stay with Radha and family where our Abby runs to board and have fun. It’s very comforting that she’s so at home with no anxiety and loves to visit. We get daily updates and photos from morning to evening of tail wags and rolling and playing like she’s at home and happy. Excellent care and instructions followed when she’s had diet changes, and Abby actually runs to greet Radha like when she’s excited for family to get home.
Very kind and caring daughter and mother! They really took the time to let my nervous dog adjust during the meet and greet, listened carefully and asked questions. I also appreciate that they care about safety. My dog is quite nervous, but by the second day of boarding she was getting comfortable and showing more of her bouncy personality. They were communicative around feeding instructions and coordinating the meet and greet, drop off, and pick up. I would recommend Thais and Marlene! Thank you for your help taking care of Amber!
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!
Christine was incredibly easy to communicate with, professional, and showed wonderful care for my dog Manchi! She navigated her anxiety and quirks so well, took her on a bunch of walks, and even gave me a polaroid of her holding a show, her favorite thing to do 😊
Alexis took fabulous care of our pup, Sadie. It was our first time leaving her with a sitter, so we were a little nervous, but Alexis sent us cute pictures and an update a couple times a day to let us know how Sadie was doing. Sadie came home calm and content, which means I know she had a great time with Alexis!
Wenxin and her family took fantastic care of our dog Cricket. Updates and pictures and lots of details about how she adjusted were so appreciated. You could tell they were really caring and attentive. It was Cricket’s first time being cared for by people she didn’t know super well, and she’s pretty nervous by nature. But after a couple days she was happy and playing and snuggling. When we drove away to go back home, she was plastered to the window watching Wenxin go inside - Cricket had gotten attached! We will definitely book with Wenxin again.
Lydia and her husband, Marty, took great care of Ellie and provided us peace of mind while we were away. We appreciated their thoughtful questions ahead of time and their attention to detail in our provided care instructions. They showered our puppy girl with affection, fun outdoor adventures, and lots of playtime. We could tell Ellie was having a blast literally right up to the moment we picked her up. We will definitely rebook!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Albany
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.
