Top rated Albany dog boarders
“Maegan accommodated my schedule to pick Hadley up a different day than we originally booked. She left a birthday party just so I could pick up our pup after our trip!”
“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”
“Jayla was so great! She was incredibly responsive and provided helpful updates. I felt so comfortable leaving our pet with her. You could tell she really treated our dog like he was a part of her family. We will definitely be rebooking with Jayla in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Emily was so great watching our pup Jax! We got multiple updates with pictures daily about his walks, playtime and all the cuddles. Highly recommend, Jax can’t wait for his next sleepover!”
“Both Serhii & Olesia were both extremely caring of Keeper and followed instructions very carefully so my vacation was stressfree. I highly recommend them for your future needs!”
“Cache was absolutely amazing with our puppy Nala! She sent consistent updates, and Nala seemed to have so much fun when she was there. 1,000,000% would recommend and most definitely will be a repeat client!”
“I felt very comfortable knowing my fur baby was in capable and caring hands with Cheryle! Poppy absolutely loves visiting and hanging out with Jester and Cheryle was very understanding about delays that came up in my travel plans and was very flexible. Definitely my go to sitter!”
“Christopher and his wife took great care of my Penny. She had trouble going up the stairs (she is 12 years old, which is a lot for a bulldog!), so Christopher actually carried her up after every walk (and she’s not light!). They sent pictures and updates every day, and just overall a very lovely and caring couple!”
“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”
“Stephanie went above and beyond to watch our Newfoundland puppy for us - this was our first time leaving her and Stephanie did a great job communicating and providing us with updates and lots of pictures of Lola each day. Her double fenced in yard and expertise in dog training were added bonuses! And because Lola loves attention and kids, knowing that her kids were there to play with her too, made us really happy! We will definitely book with Stephanie again!”
“Amanda was amazing with my high-energy dog! Darla got to go on long walks, even a hike, and made sure she got plenty of exercise and attention. I really appreciated Amanda’s patience and care—my dog came home happy and tired! Highly recommend for anyone, Darla can’t wait to go back.”
“Sylvia and Mark (and fam) are great. They took great care of my old girl and were super understanding of her evolving idiosyncrasies. Would definitely trust them again and highly recommend.”
“If there were more stars that I could give Vera, I would do that!❤️ I was going on vacation for four days and needed to find a boarder and this is the first time that I have ever went away. I met and chose Vera and am sooooo glad that I did. She erased any anxiety that I had and was an AWESOME pet sitter!!!! She gives daily updates with photos and videos so you can see how your fur baby is doing. I will definitely use her again in the future for anything.”
“Emer was a real pro. Picked up Cheerio and returned him happy and healthy. I am one of her first customers and I would certainly use her in the future. She is a true "dog person".”
“Maggie is awesome. She took good care of my dog when we were out of town for the weekend. She sent photos and videos everyday, and also followed feeding/walking instructions. Our boy had a great time with her! We would definitely come back to her again if needed.”
About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“Lori was very accommodating and easy to work with and I had great confidence that she would take good care of my dog. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Catherine and her family were amazing hosts to Bucky. They have a nice backyard and Bucky loved it the minute he got in. They took great care of him, played a lot with him and even took care of giving him medication. Very easy to communicate with and sent regular updates. We could tell that Bucky was enjoying himself through the pictures we got. We will definitely use them again!!”
About: I had dog walk for number of years and had work seasonally at a pet company before. I am confident I can take care of your dog while you ar away. It is going to be a part time gig for me, I can do most evenings and weekends; During weekday, I can start my services after 6pm and anytime at weekend. I will do my best to ensure I follow your instruction and provide on time updates of your dog and most importantly the pet will have my full attention during my services.
