“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.”
“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 so good with Pandi who is blind and diabetic. It took him a couple of days to get settled in but she was very patient with him. She is a really sweet lady and I highly recommend her. I will definitely use her again if needed.”
“Kathy and her family were very professional and took great care of ACE. I appreciated the way they greet and their intake procedures. Felt very comfortable leaving him there and they have a great backyard for playtime. Will be contacting again very soon. Thank you Kathy!”
“Jessica was great with our two fur babies. She and her family made sure they got plenty of exercise in a safe environment. Jessica was also great with communicating and sending photos. Will use again and recommend.”
“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.”
“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.
“Sterling was awesome. First off he was available during THANKSGIVING! Like that alone was awesome, it allowed us to go visit Tamil that we haven’t seen in many many years. He was attentive and very communicative during the stay. I loved how he did indeed walk Chaos often. I can tell my pup loved his stay. I’m so happy we went with you Sterling thanks so much again for treating our Chaos right! Will definitely book you anytime we go out of town again! happy holidays.”

Albany dog parents share their Rover experiences
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!
