“Shelby did an awesome job! Went above and beyond and sent so many pictures. We have a husky and she brushed out her undercoat without being asked. Would definitely rebook with her again :)”
“Madison took great care of Zeus and sent us fun photo updates frequently. She was very accommodating, communicative and flexible and we look forward to having her watch Zeus again during our next trip. Highly recommended!”
“My 75lb dog stayed with Tracy for nearly a week over a holiday. He loved his stay and was exhausted from playing all day. I felt very comfortable with him staying with Tracy. I received regular pictures and updates. Very pleased.”
“Joe was communicative, sending us videos each day. Our puppy got some good socialization time with the other dogs. The very large fenced yard in a foresty area is perfect for the dogs to run and play in.”
“Chandra was great with our pup, Ivy! We had a last-minute change in our original booking and she was very accommodating. We got lovely updates and would definitely book with Chandra in future!”
“Thor was amazing with my cat while I was on a long vacation. Made sure he took his daily meds and I got regular photo updates! He was also very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake in my booking and asked to a drop-off later in the day. I recommend Thor very highly.”
About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for a 7 years before I moved. I am a fast learner and choose to have the pet accept me before moving on to anything else. I shadowed groomers and vets to be sure the road I was taking would assure me happiness with animals and still plenty of time with my own animals. Working with the boarding facility I learned pets are different without there parents and can act differently around them so learning their likes and dislikes personally is a must for me. I want to make sure Pets and Parents are happy with me as help. I want both parties to feel safe, happy, and well rested when staying with me. I am currently working part-time with a flexible schedule. I would be able to come for an early morning and evening walk or adventure if needed. I have two dogs that are high energy. We often go to parks, take long walks, or swimming during hot days. I do have a kennel and a large vehicle for transport.
“I’m so glad we found Maddy! She assured me that my precious old gal was fully integrated into their family throughout the stay. I very much look forward to using Maddy again.”
“Dave and Daniel provide a clean, comfortable and relaxed setting, with a shaded patio and pretty backyard. My guys, Buddy and Micky, looked relaxed and content in the picture and video D & D sent to me, and when I picked them up, it seemed like Buddy wanted to stay longer! I am confident that my guys are being provided excellent care and have already booked another stay. It's so nice to know they are safe, happy and well-tended! Thank you D & D!”
“Thanks Chelsea and family! Mia loved it at your house. I appreciated your extra effort to understand my dog and her unique needs. You went out of your way to make sure she was comfortable and had fun at your house. See you again soon!!”
“Catrina was great! She took great care of our two dogs, took them on walks every day and we got the cutest photos. They seemed to have a great time and Catrina was able to get us on the schedule on short notice!”
“My dog has a great time with Bradley. He seemed very happy and got plenty of attention and activity. Bradley wa great in communication, genuine affection for pups. I’d definitely look to Bradley in the future for dog sitting.”
“Our Zoie has been with Elizabeth a couple times and has enjoyed her stay. She loves the space to run and play with other dogs. Elizabeth was patient and great at collaboration for addressing behavior issues (multiple factors at play here, not Elizabeth's fault at all for this needy husky). Overall we have been very satisfied!”
“Jade was more than accommodating to are pup Finnigan. He is home after his play date and having a rest lol. We loved that she took him on a walk and had her pups to play with him as well. The updates and pictures/videos were awesome as well. Definitely taking next step to over night.”

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.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
