“My dog had so much fun with Shelby. He has a lot of energy and she managed to tire him out every day. She communicated well and sent lots of great pictures. We got delayed on our way back and she held on to him for longer than planned. I will definitely book with her in the future when I have the need.”

“This was my first time using Rover or boarding my dog, so I was quite nervous. Miriam is great! My dog loved her and it is obvious she cares greatly about dogs. She communicates quickly and is easy to work with. Next time I go out of town, I will book my dog with Miriam!”
“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!!”
“Joe took great care of our pup, even when she was having some tummy troubles. We love that there were some other dogs around for ours to play with, and his close location is a big bonus for us. We'll definitely be back next time we need boarding for our dog. Thanks again!”
“Maddy is knowledgeable, caring and very communicative. She was able to take our dog on short notice while were were dealing with come emergencies. She understands and is very experienced with dogs (and their humans) and left us feeling very at ease. I would definitely recommend reaching out to her for caring for your dog!!!”

About: We are a dog family with a pack of 2. We have worked with local rescues in the past to volunteer our home and time to foster heeler puppies. Our dogs are social and love having friends to play with. Our large fenced yard allows for lots of running, playing or lazy sunbathing. We have experience with young puppies and just went through a season of caring for and saying goodbye to our senior ladies. Our home and hearts are open to making many new doggo best friends. My spouse and I work opposite shifts so we have ability to spend time with the dogs in our home. Our youngest is still training (only 4 months old) so we make sure that the longest the dogs are left alone is 3 hours. We have a fenced yard and 2 Dogs of our own (4 year old Great Pyrenees and 4 month old Kelpie Mix) that love to socialize and make friends. My spouse is at OSU taking classes and preparing to apply to Veterinary school. We have volunteered with a local rescue to foster heeler puppies and have helped 7 puppies find their forever homes. We love giving dogs the opportunity to live their best lives possible.
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.
“Dan and Dave took great care of our fur baby and she was healthy and happy when I picked her up. They provided a super clean and secure environment with care and affection for our pup. Will definitely be calling on them again.”
“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.”
“Rafael did a great job boarding and taking care of our dog while we were away. He was very easy to work with and always quick to respond to messages. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our pup was in good hands, we'd definitely book with Rafael again in the future.”
“2nd booking- Just as fabulous as the first! Lots of photos, videos, and updates. Jade does a tremendous job. Our pup gets so much attention. Will be using her services again soon!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Albany is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Albany
Ben’s stay at Steve’s home went very well. Seems he adjusted nicely and when I came to get him he wasn’t overly anxious to leave and continued to play with Steve as we discussed how it went in my absence. I would definitely ask Steve and Jackson to dog sit again. They were very gracious. Thank you for taking care of Ben.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Albany sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Albany landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Albany sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 sitter 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OR ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
