“Katrina was kind and was loving sitter to my Lilly. She had no problems sending pictures and updates of Lilly’s care and progress with her. Will be using her again.”
“Jessica was Awesome! Very kind and sweet and cared for my dog as if he was her own❤️she communicate well and kept me updated with pictures everyday on how my dog was doing. She has a very nice home and a perfect environment for a dog. This was my first time leaving my dog in someone else’s care but she made me feel so comfortable and I had no worries. I would definitely recommend booking with her because I’m definitely booking again when the time comes, thank you Jessica!!!”
“Lesly was great! My pug puppy Karl stayed with her for the weekend and he came back happy and tired after playing with the other pups. She did a great job, had clear communication, and I got so many cute pics and videos of Karl having a blast with his new friends. Thank you Lesly!!”
“I was a little concerned because I had not left Lady with anybody in years. As soon as we got there for the greet and meet, she felt like home. She did not bark at Noleen as she usually does when seen someone for the first time. I left at ease knowing that Lady was comfortable with Noleen. Noleen kept me updated and she even sent me a couple of videos. My Lady was happy when I picked her up. I would recommend Noleen as a pet sitter.”
“Frances was fantastic!! My little guy took right to her. She was great with him, took pictures and text each day so that I was kept updated, which gave me peace of mind while on vacation. I will definitely use Frances from now on!!”
“Jeannie was awesome! She took the needed time to allow Maurlee to get comfortable with her and provided constant updates as to how Maurlee progressed. Her home is welcoming and she provided great care! Most of all you can tell she enjoyed caring for my Maurlee. Everyone run don’t walk and sign Jeannie up to care for your pet!❣️”
“She was amazing ! We’ve had bad events happen when going through other boarding places but not here. My dog was happy dropped off and at pickup. First time using this company and I would definitely choose her again. !!”
“My dog had a great time in Miah's care, with lots of walks, a trip to the park. She also is a great communicator and a dog lover. I hope to have Miah host my dog again in the future. Your dog will be in great hands with Miah.”
“I was very thankful for Joule's knowledge and experience with dogs! My dog can have high energy and separation anxiety. I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her and her beautiful lab! She has a wonderful yard and was very attentive to Marley's needs.”
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.

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 .

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.
