“My baby Skai had a wonderful time running around with the other dogs. Lesly was so sweet and gentle. She kept me updated with pics while I was away. I Highly recommend and will definitely be contacting her again”

We are extremely satisfied with her service, and we will definitely be using her again❤️.”

About: I have been passionate about caring for animals from a young age, often taking in and helping stray cats whenever possible. I have an 8 year old Rat Terrier who is in excellent health. I manage his daily feeding, regular walks, grooming, and give him vet checks when needed. I have two cats that I rescued as strays, providing them with a safe and stable home. I also care for a bearded dragon, including maintaining her habitat and breeding Dubia roaches to ensure she has a consistent, nutritious food source along with her vegetables. Through these experiences I feel that I have developed strong skills in animal care and responsibility. I currently work a full-time morning position and am available for pet care services between 2:00 PM and 11:00 PM, seven days a week, with some mornings. I’m also flexible and willing to adjust my schedule or request time off when needed to provide attentive, consistent care for your pets while you’re away. I live in a pet friendly apartment with my own dog and cats, and I’m able to safely walk and care for pets without issue. I like to keep my home calm and secure for my animals, with close attention to their comfort, daily routines and habits. I also have experience managing behaviors such as stress chewing, and I use solutions like crate training when appropriate to ensure both the pet’s safety and the condition of the home. If similar situations occur while caring for a client’s pet, I am confident in my ability to respond responsibly and maintain a safe, clean, and supportive environment at all times.
“As soon as we took our dogs in her house they feel in love with her and her dogs. She had the perfect place set up to take care of dogs. We felt so comfortable about leaving them with her. She will send you photos of them thru out there stay. Highly recommend her.”
“Christi was very friendly, flexible and easy to book! Christi sent plenty of messages with pictures of our baby. We felt comfortable and confident with our baby in her care. We will definitely be using Christi again and recommend that you use her as well!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, birds and cats since I started grad school. Friends and strangers, alike, have relied on me to be consistent and adhere to their fur babies' routines. I'm currently working as an Airbnb host locally so I have plenty of time between setting up for guests to take care of your pets. I keep a staycation bag packed so I can be ready to housesit at anytime. I keep several alarms on my phone while housesitting to make sure I adhere to routine. When I'm sitting dogs, I'm sure to wait the 30 minutes after eating to take them on a walk for good digestion. When I'm sitting cats, I'm sure to clean the litter box nightly so they may stay comfortable.
“Joule C. did an excellent job with my dogs. She kept me informed about their daily activities and sent pictures often. I feel confident that my dogs enjoyed their stay with her almost like a vacation for them. They were able to swim in her pond and be around her dogs. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to everything dog related such as diet and training. I appreciate that she took wonderful care of my dogs.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Albany
Lesly was extremely helpful, attentive, and communicative. She met with my husband and I once by ourselves so we could see her space and talk through our routines and individual dog quirks as we have 3. She met with us again with the dogs before our stay so they could see the place and get comfortable with her before we left them for our trip. During our stay, she provided excellent feedback on how they were doing as well as adorable pictures of them playing in the yard. Any questions or concerns we had, she answered them efficiently and left us feeling comfortable. Upon pickup she gave us details of their stay and worked with us through changing our pickup time / bringing 3 high energy dogs out. They came back to us tired and happy. Would definitely recommend and will book again!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Albany on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 20 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Albany. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 GA 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.
