Pet Boarding in Alexander

“Jin was great. Zeke can be nervous when in a new situation and Jin handled him flawlessly. The updates each day were amazing and I am so thankful that Zeke had such a kind and considerate sitter. Thank you so much!!!”

“Oh my gosh. I cannot say enough nice things about Jessica and her husband. They were absolutely lovely. And very reasonably priced. Super quick with communication and sent lots of photos. It takes my youngest dog a while to warm up to anyone and she warmed up to them unbelievably quickly. I plan on using Jessica again anytime I can, and recommend her to anyone. My dogs jumped on her coffee table the minute they walked into her house, and she just laughed. I knew she was good from that minute on. Thank you Jessica! ❤️”

“Michelle was awesome! Our dog Mabel loved her stay and Michelle kept us up to speed with pictures and videos documenting the week. Would definitely book again.”

“My puppy had a fabulous time with Danielle! This was a wonderful first-time experience using Rover. I felt like Danielle really knew how to take care of my dog and was super comfortable leaving her in her care. I appreciated all the pics and updates too. Thank you so much!!!”

Kate E.

“Sarah is great! She was available on short notice and took excellent care of my dog Maizie. Her little fur baby was also very friendly and welcoming, so Maizie had a playmate for the day as a bonus!”

Karan A.

“Jenna was great with my high -energy pup. I was nervous to try Rover but Jenna made it easier with updates on how he was doing. I would absolutely hire her again.”

Mike W.

“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! WILL DEFINITELY BE A REPEAT CUSTOMER! We couldn’t have been more appreciative with the care Erika provided taking care of our young puppy for the 5 days we were away. Erika’s pup Huxley was the perfect play mate for our pup to feel right at home and to help burn off energy. Erika was very easy to communicate with and sent us updates multiple times a day with how our pup was doing.”

Jason T.

“We were very happy with Denae and Mark taking care of our dog Daisy. We received pictures and updates every day letting us know how Daisy was doing. Daisy seemed to settle in quickly and was able to relax on the couch and sleep in bed. She was taken on walks. Denae and Mark have a very nice home and really love dogs! Would definitely recommend and we would use them again!”

Tami G.

“Our dog, Millie, seemed like she had a great time with Megan and her kids! Megan was friendly and very communicative the whole time. We received lots of picture, video, and text updates. We would definitely use her again!”

Thailynn M.

“No non-sense pet sitting. My dog was very well taken care of, got to play with other dogs and run around the yard. I got updates, pictures, and videos on a regular basis. Would highly recommend!”

Christian C.

“Annalisa was wonderful when I asked for a meet n greet before we booked. We met her dog, her best friend who rents the back apt and her 2 dogs. They both work at the SPCA. They were so patient and accomodating. Gio and Peppino had fun then and they also seemed to have had a great time when we picked them up after a long weekend stay. Communication was great! She sent us photos and messaged us with little updates. She is so kind!”

Mary P.

“Julie is the best ,she took care of our dogs so well.. it was our first time leaving our pet babies alone and we couldn’t thank her enough for always keep us giving updates about them and for everything thing..Julie , her baby girl and her husband all are extremely sweet people.. i will definitely always send my pet babies to her only. Thankyou so much”

Anisha G.

“David and Cathy and were wonderful, they very friendly and appeared to genuinely enjoy caring for our 14h month old border collie. They sent regular photos and provided long walks and plenty of play time with their pet pug Sadie in their large back yard. We will definitely be arranging future visits and highly recommend.”

Kenneth M.

“Leah took such a great care of our Jack and stayed in communication. She welcomed our pup into her family and we look forward to her caring for Jack again.”

MADELINE C.

“Kelsey was fantastic with Apollo. We arranged the stay on very short notice, and she was extremely accommodating. She took great care of him from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Apollo seemed happy and relaxed when we picked him up. We would definitely book her again!”

Geraldine D.

“Took great care of our pug Cosmo while on 10 day vacation. He’s blind and diabetic so requires extra help. Awesome rover care. We will be back. Tom D”

Thomas D.

“Lindsey did a fantastic job watching our goldendoodle. He loved the long daily walks and play time with her cute dog, and I enjoyed the daily updates and pictures. Vacations are much more relaxing when you know your dog is also having a great time. Looking forward to another booking, thanks Lindsey!”

Sarah H.

“I booked Alison at the last minute and she was very accommodating for my little boy, Beau. I was nervous but Beau fit right in with her fur babies, and she took great care of him. She sent pictures and responded to my messages in a timely manner. I will book with Alison again and highly recommend her services.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.

“Katie was an excellent sitter for our dog Louie, while we were on a long vacation! This is the first time using Rover, as well as having someone outside of our family, watching our pet and it was an excellent experience! She sent daily updates and pictures which helped in dealing with the separation anxiety! Recommend highly and will use again!”
