About: Volunteering at shelters and owning an array of pets throughout my life helps me understand fully how to care for a creature. I've never turned away an animal and have worked with nursing birds, rodents, bunnies, and kittens back to health after rescuing them. I also love working with exotic pets like amphibians or reptiles, but mainly I board and walk dogs! I'm very good at reading body language and training stubborn dogs, and working with animals full time would be a dream career. Right now I'm studying premedicine / ecology at UA and taking care of animals over the summers to save money for school! Going to Albany on the 24th! Until then I can board, but afterwards I'm switching my location and removing boarding from my services as I'll be on campus. Large yard with electric fence and 2 extra collars for a medium dog. Home with 3 accessible stories, dog food, treats, litter box, toys and plenty of enrichment. Dog beds and human beds for sleeping, large safe neighborhood for walks!!

About: Dog Boarding, Training, and Socializing Services A Vacation for You and a Life-Changing Experience for Your Fur Baby Welcome to our home-away-from-home experience for dogs. If you’re looking for a loving, fun, and structured environment for your pet, you’ve come to the right place. I joined Rover to provide a true home experience while you’re away. Here, dogs rule the house, enjoying sofas, loveseats, and a variety of comfortable dog beds. I prepare fresh meals daily for my pack, and while your dog is here, they’ll enjoy a portion alongside their own food. These meals include fresh chicken, rice, coconut oil, scrambled eggs, and veggies, prepared like a giant omelet. We’re happy to adjust for special dietary needs—just let us know in advance about allergies or sensitivities. What We Offer Dog Boarding: Safe, structured, and loving care in a real home environment.

Whether it’s specific walk times, meal preferences, favorite toys, or exercise habits, we’ll create a personalized experience. Activity & Enrichment Our property is designed for fun and stimulation. Dogs can explore ramps, steps, and jumping platforms for mental and physical exercise. For older or less active dogs, we offer short walks and relaxing options in sunny or shady spots. Social dogs will enjoy group play and enrichment every day. Safety First To ensure a secure environment, all dogs must be well-trained and friendly with people and other dogs. Unsupervised dogs will rest in a comfortable, enclosed 8’x6’ carpeted area with a doorless crate during feeding and downtime. Our Pack My four rescued dogs from Guatemala create a welcoming environment for every guest: Cypress: The playful pack leader who loves to run and chase. Nala: The calm house director and couch queen. Dhurva: The observant food-finder who joins play in her own time. Ginny: The happiest and most playful spirit, connecting with every dog she meets. Together, they serve as companions and mentors for visiting dogs, making every stay enriching and fun. Our Expertise With years of experience working with dogs, I’ve developed enrichment programs for shelters and municipalities in Guatemala, Mexico, and New York. My background includes rehabilitating, fostering, and finding adoption solutions for sick and injured street dogs. I’m also skilled in: Oral and Injected Medication Administration First Aid/CPR Special Needs and Senior Dog Care Puppy Training and More Booking Your Dog’s Stay Before your first boarding, we’ll schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure your dog feels comfortable and assess their needs.

About: I have been helping my sister with this for a while, trying the app on my own! I also have been taking care of animals since I was a young one, my household was always filled with animals from fur babies to reptiles to fish. However, I didn't just grow up with pets, I learned how to bond with them and really understand what it means to care for an animal. From playful to shy, I meet every animal where they are at and give them the love and attention. I also have experience working with animals from my time spent working at a pet store. I am reliable, communicative, and treat every pal like family. Rest assured your pal is in safe hands! I have open availability. Caring for animals is a peaceful part of my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks or check ins, I make time for them. For me, spending time with animals keeps me grounded and joyful. It's more than a job, it something I look forward to day to day. My home is calm, clean, and filled with love - pets settle in pretty easily after the owner departs. I make sure to stick to their usual routine, so your pal feels safe and secure. Whether they are here long term or just overnight every pal gets treated with 10/10 care!

About: I’ve been around animals for my whole life and absolutely love them. Your pet will be treated as a member of my family because it matters to me.

Carey L.
“Carey has done wonderful work with not only my dog, but with my daughter's dog. She is patient, caring, and very attentive to the dogs. While taking my dog for walks she has taught him to heal and wait to keep him safe for crossing the streets and when other dogs approach. She always checks his paws for any injuries after their walk. Carey works with the dog not only to give it exercise, but to engage his mind too. She loves my dog like her own. He is always excited to see her, even the mention of saying 'Carey's here' makes him jumping around excited. She takes him in the rain, and dries him off and snuggles with him when they are done. I could not have asked for a better dog walker/sitter, and would highly recommend her for any type dog!”
