Pet Boarding Altamont

“John was great from the start! I inquired about using him as a last minute weekend sitter. I was in full panic mode because our usual sitter was unavailable due to emergency. John arranged a meet and greet several hours later where he and our dog took to each other instantly. His house is clean and accommodating for a pup, or more! His fenced in backyard is great and the neighborhood he is in is quiet and safe. The very next morning is when we needed him for, so our dog was dropped off bright and early. I got a couple updates a day via messages and every message included at least 3-4 photos and videos. From the start you could tell he was attentive based on the questions he was asking me. We’ve never used Rover before and Luna has never stayed with anyone other than a few family members so it was a first for all of us. We would 10/10 use John again and we hope this review helps others feel at ease with his services!! :)”

About: Hello! I am 32 and a lifelong dog & cat mom. I currently have 1 big dog and 3 cats. I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and clients for as many years as I can remember. I’ve been an animal lover since I was old enough to know what an animal is. I’m comfortable walking large and reactive dogs, administering meds, cleaning litter boxes, and any other services you may need. Feel free to send a message to see if I would be a good fit for your fur family I work on weekdays from 10-6 pm, so I have plenty of time in the mornings, evenings, and on lunch breaks to give your furry friend loads of attention and exercise. Pets in my home are allowed on furniture and are allowed to sleep in the bed if they like to. We have lots of toys (for both dogs and cats) and enjoy lots of walks on the nearby walking trail.

“Maggie is incredible! I’ve been boarding my dog with her for the last year, he always had the best time playing with the other dogs and comes home exhausted and smelling amazing! Thanks Maggie! Truly a gem to have found her!”

“Amanda watched our 2 year old Shepherd mix, Sid, one night when we needed a calm dinner out, and we couldn't have made a better decision. Her fenced in yard was a dream for our dog, and she was super accommodating and responsive with our day of request and quick meet and greet. She sent us plenty of pictures of Sid smiling and romping around, we will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”

“Kania is a very caring dog sitter. I was a little nervous leaving my dog with a new person for a week but Sparky couldn't have been happier with Kania and liked playing with her own dog. Sparky came home happy but tired! I would highly recommend Kania if you're looking for a dog sitter.”

“Ginger was wonderful. She took our 5 month old puppy for 3 nights. She provided plenty of updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. I’m thankful we found her through this app.”

Kelli R.

“Richelle was amazing! She kept us updated every day on how our pup was doing, which really put our minds at ease. Teddy had a blast going on walks and received so much love and care, especially since he’s quite the energetic ball of joy! We're incredibly grateful for her flexibility in taking our last-minute request due to a family emergency. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”

About: I have been around dogs since the day I was born and wouldn’t have it any other way. Currently, I work at a dog daycare in Latham (love it) and also dog sit for family members when they are away. I enjoy meeting dogs of all different breeds, enjoy learning their personality and seeing how much their family loves them. I strive to treat your dog as if they were my own. I am  experienced with giving dogs medication and welcome any other dogs with special needs. I am available before 11:00 am and after 5:30 pm Wednesday and Friday and before 1:00 pm Thursday for drop in services. I am also available for house sitting and can stay any night for as long as needed. I would prefer that there are only dogs in your household. I can’t wait to meet and take care of your pride and joy. I am a teacher and I work 7:15am-3:15pm so I can do a walk or let out your pup after those hours! I have 3 dogs to keep you pup company! I have a yard but it is not fenced in so your dog would have to be ok going on a leash. In your home I will strive to keep your dogs routine to the same as with you best I can.

“Our dog Seba had a great stay with Patrick & Sara. Long walks and lots of play time! Patrick was super responsive and sent us many updates throughout our trip which really nice to receive.”

“Took great care of my pup! Was willing to accommodate his special needs. Received lots of updates and pictures. My pup had a great time and was well loved. Will be booking again in the future.”

“We were *very* happy to find Diane and John for a 10-night stay when we found out on short notice that the sitter we booked months ago was no longer available. They have a great setup for their own three dogs, they only take in one dog at a time, someone is usually home, and the dogs are allowed to sleep wherever they are comfortable. This is exactly what our Beagle is used to; and having 3 sweet dogs (all age 14) to socialize with was something she needs to do more often. Diane and John obviously love and take great care of their own dogs. Highest recommendation! We will certainly book again whenever our regular sitter is not available.”

“Garrett & Deanne were really great! Ruby seemed to have a great time with them. They kept me updated on how she was doing (especially with the fireworks over July 4th). I'll definitely be having them watch my girl in the future!”

About: Hello! My name is Jess, and I am excited to offer my pet services to you and your furry family members. With 35 years of experience as a pet care provider and over 20 years in rescue, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to every pet I care for. My commitment to animal welfare includes over twenty years volunteering for a local rescue organization, as well as six years on the board where I'm currently serving as President. Having recently retired, I now devote all my time to my one true love—pets. I'm a foster failure many times over and I'm looking forward to spending my days with my pups. My extensive experience includes special needs care, managing diet and allergy restrictions, light physical therapy, basic pet CPR and first aid, senior care and administering medications. I'm well versed in animal behaviors and speak their language. I know what they want to do and what they don't want to do with just about any pet I come in contact with. Whether your pet needs a walk, a visit, a sample delivered to the vet, transportation to vet/medical appointments, grooming services, or a comforting home away from home while you're away, I've got you covered. I offer overnight boarding (longer stays available) for vaccinated and friendly pets in my home, along with check-ins and walking services. I have a grooming room in my home to provide a full service spa day for your pet, ensuring they feel pampered and loved, and look like a million bucks when you return. It can be one of the hardest things we do, leaving our pets. Having someone you trust and your pets love can make or break your travel plans, or your decision to add a pet to a working family. Life is better with dogs, let me help you live your best dog mom/dad life... I look forward to meeting your pets (and you of course).. I'm retired, so I'm flexible. I'm available almost any day/time, with some notice. While a booking is preferred, I can usually accommodate last minute requests (at least an hour or two notice). If I cannot, I can refer you to another trusted pet care giver. I have over an acre of property with a fenced in yard. Quiet cul-de-sac in village area. No thru vehicle traffic, light foot traffic. I have four rescue pugs who can't wait to meet their next best friend. They love play dates with other pets, I'm in rescue and frequently host meetups, transport drops and foster, so there are always furry friends for play time. However, if your pet is a little less energy and enjoys nap time and quiet, I can easily accommodate that as well. Take away, your pet will be safe, secure, loved, pet and very well cared for. They'll ask you when they can come back!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve owned multiple dogs & cats that are sadly no longer with me. I love the joy going for a run or walk can bring them. Bathing your furry friend is never an issue. I do have a cat named Zelda who loves animals but she’s the only one I have now. Offering boarding services for holiday times coming up! I work part time and go to school full time as well as being a mother to my daughter. We can always talk about what works best for us both & your furry friend(s). I do have an open backyard but I do have extra long tie outs so they will be able to run. I have no problem taking them to a local dog park or a walk around the neighborhood. If you’re going on vacation & your furry friend can’t come, we can easily discuss what works best for scheduling.

“Leaving Bounce with Julia while visiting Saratoga Springs was our first experience with Rover. Julia exuded warmth, competency and friendliness in all her online and in-person communications. Our dog can be hard to read: He has incredible bursts of energy, yet sleeps a lot. He loves other dogs, but in some instances becomes fearful of them. Julia assured us she would gauge his mood and decide to crate him or send him off for some group dog play, which is what resulted (dog play). When she drove him back to our hotel, he did not want to leave her car. So, that proved that all the good things we saw in Julia came true. Thank you for taking such care of our beloved Bounce! When we returned to Saratoga, we will also return Bounce to Julia's kind care.”

About: I just lost my 13.5 year old shepherd, I have been skilled in taking care of him and his old age and needs, I spent his whole life training him in German and English. I spend all day with dogs and know dog behavior very well, I have worked in boarding facility’s giving meds and food and walking dogs and learning their specific personalities. I groom dogs during the week when I’m done working I am free and certain days i have free time to care for others loved babies Care for your pets in your home where they are safe and happy, teach me how you and they like to be loved and cared for and I will always follow every direction given.

About: Since falling head over heals for my Yorkie, nurturing for him has been one of the greatest experiences I learned. I potty trained him, bathe, and also searched up a recipe for a nutritional diet haha! We are always outside unless the ground is too hot then we wait later on the day to exercise for at least an hour, preferably a jog. I know of the greatest dog parks in this area and would love to introduce him to new friends <3 I am flexible with dog walks and part time doggy care. I am very organized with time and will know what to do and when to do so! The space I have inside my house is pretty decent but I like to spend time outside anyways. I have a fenced yard and will watch as they play. If its okay for field trips, I usually take long walks on trails to explore and visit the doggy park for some time. Open to all preferences.

“Kim is AMAZING. I literally cannot understate how great she was with Bernie and I will be returning next time we go on vacation. Tons of pictures and it truly made us happy to see that he was having a great time while we were away.”
