Dog Boarding in Albany

About: I've looked after dogs my entire life, from personal pets to work animals. I enjoy looking after all animals; cat, dog, or otherwise. I spent time volunteering with WWOOF in Maine, caring for all sorts of farm animals as well as caring for two personal pets! Animals are a passion of mine and I adore being around them and giving them the enriching life they deserve. I am currently employed as a hair stylist with my weekends being Monday's and Tuesday's however I look for that to change in the near future! I take my dog on daily walks, be it around my home or down the street. She loves playing around (mostly with my socks) and running around in the water. I always make sure to bring water and treats with me if it's a particularly hot day, or if it's cold I try to make sure the dogs actually having a good time and not pining for the sweet, sweet indoor heating. Rain or shine, we are usually outside. And when we aren't we're cuddled on my couch watching Tv.

About: I trained English pointers to point and retrieve pheasants and quails. I currently have Australian shepherds and love there high energy personalities. Please book with me! I work full time I am available twice a week on Sundays and one weekday. I am flexible, and would love to know your dogs dietary and physical needs, so they can have a healthy lifestyle. I have an air gap fence yard for safety. They have an indoor watering bowl that is connect to a water line. They have kennels in the house and have AC and heating when needed.

“Alyssa was great with my girls! I would definitely have her sit for me again. She was so accommodating and even ran home from work so I could pick my girls up.”

“It was a joy knowing the boys were taken well care of! Thanks for being so accommodating on the timing and look forward to booking again.”

About: Loving dogs is in my nature! I’ve been so blessed to almost always have a dog in the house growing up, giving me plenty of experience to care and love for other dogs! I just moved to Oregon and currently working with a seasonal & a full time job. I have very tough hours for some but i’ll always try my best to accommodate you and your doggo the best way i can! I am currently living in a complex with a wide variety of grass fields and walk paths near by.. I have plenty of relief and play areas that are walking distance from my apartment .

“Benji seemed right at home in the photos I received throughout his stay! Nicole and her family were so accommodating to my dog’s needs, appreciate the flexibility with pickup and drop off as well!”

“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover, so I didn't know what to expect. I booked a 5 night stay with Elizabeth and I'm so glad I chose her. She cared for my dog and sent updates with pictures, so I could see how Maxie was doing. It was nice to know my dog was in in good hands while I was traveling. I will definitely be using Elizabeth again, because she exceeded my expectations and Maxie definitely enjoyed all the TLC she gave her. ”

“Bevin did an amazing job sitting my 2 Rottweilers for a long weekend. They are solely focused on making sure the dogs were comfortable and happy. Sent lots of pictures and updates which was very much appreciated. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Georgia was amazing! She made us and our dog very comfortable from the moment we met her. She very obviously cares about the well being of the animals in her care! I would highly recommend Georgia to take care of your fur baby! We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, birds, you-name-its since I was 8 years old. I have 20 years of general pet experience, 5 years of puppy training experience, and 3 years of senior dog care experience (including dogs with wheelchairs, heart problems, and other disabilities). I have worked with multiple breeds, from Boston Terriers to Huskies to Mastiffs, and I am comfortable with multiple training styles, leads, and collars. I specialize in Boxers (if you couldn't tell by the photos) and used to foster Boxers for local rescues for 3 years. I have been trained in doggy CPR, and I am comfortable administering medication to dogs. ¡Tambien, yo hablo español! I work full time (as a CEO of a local nonprofit) but I am always home, and often outside (when it's sunny). I always prioritize my animals' wellbeing, so we make sure to play and train every day, and go on walks down our country lanes if we still have energy after playing all day in my big fenced backyard. Of course, we finish the day by snuggling on the couch by the fireplace. Dogs are part of the family here! :) I have a fully-fenced, half acre yard, and two doggies who spend all day working with me. Their names are Cassius (1.5 yr old male) and Rusty (3.5 yr old male) and they love everyone (and every dog or cat or chicken etc) they meet. Cassius is a Boxer/Dogue de Bordeaux rescue, and Rusty is a "fox red" yellow lab; both are neutered and very friendly. My fiance, Jimmy, calls me kind of a helicopter dog mom (in the best way) because I am constantly refreshing their water, making sure they eat all their food, and keeping an eye on stool consistency (best way to know how your dog is feeling). I also enjoy trimming dog nails and brushing their teeth if your dog will let me!

“We are so happy to have found Elizabeth, she is now our go to sitter for our large breed dog Henry. The communication is amazing and daily updates with pics are a great way to see how much fun he is having on the farm. Can’t recommend her enough, 5 stars! Doug”

“Keaton is extremely caring, compassionate and responsible when it comes to the care of animals whether they be dogs, cats or even livestock. He has had lots of experience caring for animals and truly has a very strong love and affection for them. He is very dependable and has super great customer service skills as well. I can't think of anyone I would trust more to care for my pets!”

“Catrina goes above & beyond! She greatly exceeded our expectations. Fiona was so happy when we picked her up! Happy to see us, but also happy, comfortable, and wagging her tail around Catrina & her partner as she was saying goodbye. They let Fiona sleep in their bed as if she was a part of their family, sent pictures with cute messages every day, exercised and played with Fiona daily, she was easy to reach and work with, and was flexible when we were off with our timing, and so much more. I am an anxious person when it comes to leaving my dog, but she made me so comfortable and allowed us to focus on our visit home and our daughter and family. We will definitely book with her again.”

“My 2 little 11 year old Pomeranians felt right at home at Cindy’s house! After our meet and greet, i knew they would be in good hands with her. She has a true heart for caring for animals. They were welcomed into her little pack and enjoyed being there with them! The photos and updates she sent also gave me piece of mind as I could see how much fun they were having! Cindy is the best for those with littler dogs! I highly recommend her!”

“Tracy was a lovely sitter ! I received plenty of pics of my pup while i was out of time which really helped give me peace of mind while away. Will definitely be booking again anytime I have to get a sitter for my pup! Thank you again :)”

“Our blue heeler had an absolute blast during his stay with Samantha and her family. We picked him up and genuinely cannot tell if he’s just exhausted from all the fun adventures he went on OR if he’s depressed because he already misses his friends. We are so appreciative of the care they took of our pup. We got daily updates and photos, we loved getting to know about the daily adventures.”

“I'm sure you'll find Melanie a pleasure to work with; Melanie is an animal-lover at heart as well as super-reliable and dependable. Gertie, their beloved pooch, is just as fun. Super well-behaved, gentle, and playful, this is a great family to board your pet with. Melanie has watched my border collie multiple times throughout the years. I don't ever have to think twice about his wellbeing because I know he's in good hands. Enjoy the fun, giggles, and playtime Melanie will provide your furry friends. She is also an avid hiker - a bonus for those athletic canines.”

“Talia is amazing. She is like our saving grace with our dog, and our dog can be a handful. She went above and beyond, cleaned his ear out when he had an ear infection - we totally did not expect this / were blown away, gave him all his meds, (sorry Talia, hope I am not setting grooming as an expectation for your customers) - but really that is just an example of how much she cares. I feel totally safe when we leave Echo with her. She sends updates, photos - just awesome. So lucky to have her watching our baby. 11/10 stars.”

“Chelsie kept me up to date with pictures and videos of my pup. I was definitely comfortable from start to finish. Thanks Chelsie!”

“My dog Ollie had a wonderful time. All instructions were followed to the letter and I received photos and a video of my dog enjoying his stay. I would absolute book again.”
