“We are so lucky to have found Tiffany J! From the very first meeting, it was clear how much she truly care about animals. She has been so incredibly reliable and always on time, which gives us such peace of mind while we're at work. Our dog, Flex , gets so excited every time she show up. I especially love the daily photo updates and detailed summaries of their walks. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional walker! Thanks Tiffany!”

About: I've owned and watched dogs for years. I have also fostered dogs of all sizes and personality. I even worked as a assistant manager at Camp Bow Wow. I work well with all ages and I understand that each pet is unique and has different needs. I will give them the best care. I'm currently working for a small business, I get to work from home so I can adjust my hours to fit your needs. I have regular dog walking clients every week normally on Monday, Tuesday, Wensday, and Thursday, so I can be gone for a few hours. When I go to a client's home I will send the client pictures of their pets and give them updates. I make sure to respect the clients home.
About: I have worked at a Veterinary Clinic since 2018 and have loved what I do ever since. I’ve worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 2-3 years. I have been watching and taking care of animals ever since I was younger so I’ve dealt with all types of animals, whether they were special needs or just needed a little more attention. If you need care for other species aside from dogs and cats I can care for them as well! I work 4 days a week at around 30ish hours, my significant other is home during the day as he works nights. So he is able to let animals out at our home during the day. I care for all different kinds of pets, however it is needed and requested. If something happens I will know exactly what to do or have someone to contact if something bad does happen and I can’t help. I do require them to be kenneled overnight at my home for the safety of them and others.
About: I’ve owned and fostered dogs of all shapes and sizes for over 13 years. I’ve owned Great Danes, Huskies, Malamutes, Anatolian shepherds, Cane Corsos, and even wolf hybrids. I’m comfortable with all sizes and know how to adequately handle them. I am happiest when with dogs and look forward to meeting your furry family member! I work a job where I pick my own schedule. I will work around whatever my clients needs are to ensure their pet is cared for to your standard. I love to walk and am willing to take your furry loved one on as long of a walk as you like. I also practice safe feeding environments and am aware if feedings need to be done a certain way. I am also versed in practices of being safe while on the leash and at dog parks. I have a truck that I can use to take your dog to the dog park as well if you’d like.

I do have a dog with me, her name is Maze. Maze is a rescue, she stays in my room and going on walks multiple times a day as well as dog parks, she would love to have a friend.

I have cats as well, the are allowed to freely roam around with little latches that keep bedroom doors open just enough for them to go in and out, they are also fed twice a day with wet food and have dry kibble out for free feeding through the day, since they have smaller stomachs they eat more frequently, howver the dry food is only filled once it runs out completely, the cats also have a running water fountain as well as other water bowls on elevated surfaces. Their are plenty of pet beds,toys and treats, if their are any allergies please let me know!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. All different breeds and all different sizes. I’ve always known the importance of keeping a good eye on them and knowing their regular attitude. I know how serious something can be even when the dogs attitude just switched a little bit. I know the importance of showing your love and care for animals as it can really help comfort them or just make them happy. I currently work part time so I do have a lot of freetime to help out and look after/ care for peoples animals who need it. I’m available anyday especially weekends to watch/walk ur pets!! In my home my dog has an open field to run in a water bowl outside inside and in my room. He also gets kenneled sometimes depending on how long im leaving for and such but at night he sleeps in bed with me or on the floor if he gets too hot.

About: I absolutely love taking care of home pets! You will feel stress-free with me while taking care of your animals until you return home. I believe that animals need more love and care than just being let outside and fed. I have house and pet sat for two summers now, and I really love it! I am home from college, looking to have a simpler job during the summer! I am fully available all week and usually the weekends as well unless I'm on a trip! Very open to anything. I have a fenced yard for my pup at home, which helps them have more fun outside! I could also crate the animal if that is what is needed.

About: As an ER vet med worker, I understand that pets deserve to be treated with care and compassion. I have worked in the field for over 4 years and have experience with an array of behaviors and sizes. I own a german shepherd who is quite reactive, so I have special interests in caring for reactive and hard to handle pets. I do german style training with my own dog, and love to focus on obedience training. I am comfortable giving a variety of medications as needed and providing the best care for your fur babies. I work at an emergency veterinary hospital, so I do pet sitting on the side. I am familiar with the different lifestyle needs for each pet and willing to accommodate and provide:) Being a veterinary worker and student, I am very knowledgeable on pet care, illnesses, and many other aspects. I have cared for many pets in critical situations. I have a true passion for ensuring the best care for pets- physically and mentally!

Cats or dogs, it doesn’t really matter. I work Monday - Friday 8 to 5. I am able to take some breaks through out the day to help out when I need to.

About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.

About: I love dogs, big or small! I have been around dogs all of my life. I can walk and feed your dog whenever needed and I will give your dog my 100% Care.

I got two boys that keep me pretty busy, but I’ll always find a time to help! They get love and care constantly and get playtime with the kids as well! My husband and I both work in law-enforcement, so we are big on trustcan’t wait to help out!
About: I have taken care of 2 dogs in my life. I know the basic’s, example , feeding, walking, and bathing. Wanting to spend my time to help all dog owners find someone they can trust while they are away. I’m working Full time currently but have time mostly in the evenings throughout the whole week. Giving time for your dog and providing love till you are ready to pick them up or drop off I have a fenced yard with neighbors fence near mine. They do have pets as well,Husky's, they are vocal and jumpy but I mostly supervise outside in case anything may happen. My home is near a dog park where they can have more space to roam and get all there energy out.
About: Howdy there & nice to meet you, I am a kindred soul who has experience working in doggy day cares/boarding camps as well as volunteering hours at various local animal shelters. I am an aspiring pet groomer and will be taking classes for that soon as well. I turned my passion to vibe with furry friends into paid play dates. I am a natural care giver and would love to meet your little (or big) one! I work a hybrid remote job so my schedule is super flexible. I have to already incorporate my schedule around my rightfully spoiled only child (Lincoln, my 8-year old Husky mix). I also combine pet care time with my self-care routine for exercise/physical activity. (Work smarter not harder). I have a fenced yard/porch, as well as a doggy door built into the door that leads to said yard/porch and security cameras that cover the yard so we can always see what's going on. As well as various toys, treats, and walking equipment always available to all our furry friends.
About: I am blessed with a sweet boy of my own and have had dogs in the house growing up. I have always had a natural touch with animals. For instance, my neighbor has a Saint Bernard who is not sure of humans in general but especially human males, however this dog becomes a giant puppy when I come around. I am a full time student doing school online so pet care can be done anytime in the mornings and afternoons and on any day except for Sundays. I have a fenced in yard at home, though I keep a watchful eye on my dog when he is outside. While inside, I keep anything that might catch his eye out of reach, and make sure he is always properly entertained. This happens to be easy for my dog since he loves antlers to chew on.
About: From a young age, I have always loved animals, especially dogs. Growing up, I was responsible for caring for our family dogs, and I also helped my grandparents with their farm dogs (who could get a little crazy! Trust me, I do not shy away when a furry friend is excited to see me!). In college, I adopted my own dog, Blue. She required a lot of energy and attention from the start, which helped me develop many of the skills I use today. Whether your pup is energetic, curious, anxious, or somewhere in between, I am confident I can provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. I understand how much we love our four-legged family members, which is why I always make them a top priority while you’re away on vacation, at work, or running errands. I enjoy sending photos, video updates, and check-ins to ensure clear and consistent communication. Reach out if you are looking for a sitter or would like to learn more about my experience! I work full-time in marketing, but my job offers a flexible schedule. Whether I need to work remotely for a week or step away mid-day, I can make it happen without any trouble. I also rarely have back-to-back meetings, which allows me to take breaks from work and focus my attention on your pup! Unfortunately, my dog Blue isn't a great host (she’s not a fan of other dogs), so I won’t be able to care for your pet in my home. However, I am happy to travel to your home for check-ins. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing fetch or tug, treating them to a ride to get a pup cup, and of course, cuddling. I also like to meet your furry friend before the dog-sitting dates so they can become familiar with me, and so I can learn more about their routine, preferences, and what makes them happiest!
About: I have been in the animal field since I was 16, completing a veterinary assistant program during high school. During Covid, I helped my aunt foster 3 rescue beagles as well as caring for her other two dogs. Since then, I have worked at multiple doggy daycare and boarding facilities and have pets of my own! As of right now, some nights I work overnight and I work during the day as a part time kennel technician. Having a flexible schedule for your pets needs works best for me! I am currently only providing drop-in visits which means your pet/s will stay in the comfort and safety of their own home. I always do meet n greets where the pet will be staying.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,375 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Albany. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Albany. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Albany.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Albany. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
