Doggy Day Care in Albany

“Mark & Sylva were great hosts for my dog when we needed a few hours of care while my son toured a nearby college. They were welcoming and kind and did a great job with her. I'd happily book again if we're in Troy in the future. Thank you!”

“Cheryle is great! She sent pictures during the day which made us feel very comfortable that our dog was nice and relaxed and enjoys being with Cheryle and her dog. Her house is set up very nice and the backyard too. I would highly recommend Cheryle!”

“We wanted our pup to get more socializing during the day while we are at work and Maegan turned out to be perfect. She is very responsive, flexible with our drop off and pick up times, and very trustworthy. Her and her family are also very kind and sweet and they make a great home for our pup to enjoy during the day. They have a dog of their own and she watches other dogs on occasion as well and everyone gets along great because of Maegan. We can’t thank her enough for how she cares for our dog.”

Gregory & Alice M.

“Emily was so professional and loving with our best buddy Ebbet. He can be shy and nervous, and Emily was incredibly patient and thoughtful giving Ebbet time and space to acclimate to a new person. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful. Ebbet loved her, and he is choosy with his love 💗”

About: Freedom is my actual birth name (preferred btw) So here at Freedom Cares 🫶🏼 I believe all animals have their own unique level of care needs. I grew up with a variety of furry friends from a very young age. I remember being 3 and hiding in my Nanas room with Kittens and snuggling them trying to feed them with my (dolls play baby bottle) and. My experience with animals Includes dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, donkeys, ducks, turtles, cows, fish and more. Animals are always drawn to my calming energy, regardless of where I am. Farm, fair, friends house, walks, etc. I Firmly believe my Biological mom named me Freedom for a reason. I am a private caregiver to those with disabilities. Therefore my schedule is quite flexible. I can do drop inns, boarding, overnights, walks and more. Some of my clients even enjoy pet therapy. As long as the pet owner is up to that. 😊 As a kid I had many animals and experience with farm life. Including 4H training for dogs. I most recently have experience at a dog daycare. Where we practiced techniques from The Dog Guru. More importantly each animal/client/prospect is different. Therefore, I will follow the clients/animals routine. Whether the animals need long walks and extra attention. Or just a quick drop in and some fresh water. Or extra lovings while their owner is away. Your animal/animals will surely be taken care of.

“Sky was so wonderful to our little cat and a great person to meet! We were in town for the week and needed someone to watch our pet, she was extremely responsive and flexible even last minute.”

“Laura was really responsive to all of my questions leading up to the first sitting, which was only set up the day before. She communicated throughout the whole day sending pictures and videos to make sure we were comfortable and knew how Willa was doing. I would definitely schedule dog sitting with Laura in the future!”

“Cache always answered messages promptly and provided frequent updates of how Macie was doing while I was at work. She asked questions about the routine, overall habits, and any specific medical issues.. So I felt very comfortable leaving Macie with Cache 🙂‍↕️. I left Macie with her for the day, and some nights I’ll probably do the same for work; I’m grateful to have someone in Albany that I can entrust my precious Macie with. Thank you and I will be booking with you soon!”

About: As a full-time elementary school teacher and lifelong dog lover, I bring a unique blend of patience, responsibility, and playful energy to pet care. I’ve grown up around dogs and have helped care for everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I understand that each dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks—just like my students! Currently enjoying my teacher summer and have a lot of time on my hands! I live in a dog friendly apartment with a roomy, AC filled space. I babysit babies occasionally, but am looking for more to fill my days! I just moved here from Boston and am missing my family dog back at home…would love to get back my daily dose of dog snuggles! I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment with my boyfriend, and we both love animals! While I don’t currently have a dog here, I have one back home, so I’m very familiar with creating a safe, loving environment. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and I make sure they’re comfortable, secure, and happy at all times.

About: I would be taking care of your fur baby with my partner who loves pets as much as I do. I’ve had dogs all throughout my life so I love being around them. I love playing and taking care of them no matter the size or breed any dog is a friend of mine.Plus 2 great sitters for your lovely pet what’s better than that❤️ Open availability at the moment. Just reach out to me and we can talk to make anything work for great care and a fun time with your pup. I always supervise the dog and make sure he or she has water at all time and if it’s outside at anytime I make sure they are always on a leash.

About: I walked dogs professionally for Philly Fit Dogs for two years and have an additional six years of pet sitting experience. I have walked every type of dog, from super shy and timid to happily rambunctious to Gizmo the chihuahua who deserves his own category. On a typical day walking your dog, I will obviously follow any directions laid out, carry my travel doggie water bowl and water, get any goodies allowed for the walk (if they are allowed). I’m a big proponent of, this is the doggies’ walk, not mine so I will let the goodest boy or girl lead me in whichever direction they like, so long as it’s safe and not into oncoming traffic (Gizmo, I’m looking at you). I will also do my best not to allow strangers to just approach them. I know it can be difficult with how absolutely adorable your furbabies or in Gizmos case his dictator level charisma. Safety is always first and foremost. I am a professional cleaner and manage my own schedule so as long as i have notice I can work any set of hours you need. I am also available for pet sitting. I do not board yet but I will make the safety of you furbabies top priority. A lot of it is just being mindful and aware of your surroundings and potential issues.
