“We tasked Larry with a last minute booking for our two kittens. He did amazing with them and followed all instructions. He was very respectful of our apartment as well. Will definitely book again!”
“***FIRST TIME ROVER USER**** When my normal sitter became unavailable, unexpectantly, I had no idea what to do. I was at the point of not going away on my vacation because it was about a week away from leaving. This was my first time using Rover, and my anxiety was through the roof about the entire process and the idea of a stranger coming into my home. I chose Marybeth primarily based upon location, her photos of her and her pets and her age/experience. Upon meeting Marybeth, her overall kindness and genuine, sweet, friendly personality put me at ease immediately. She listened attentively to what my needs were and my animals routines, without trying to change or judge anything. She was promptly responsive to all of my communication prior to leaving for my trip and the duration as well. When meeting (2) of my (3) fur babies kitties (only because 1 is a scaredy cat and won't come out for anyone really), you could tell immediately that she has a love of cats and taking care of them appropriately and lovingly. I left instructions for her and she followed all of my requests (even non animal related, like bringing in my mail and checking on my refrigerator door that pops open). She was even kind enough to check on my hamster even though that was not part of the animals requested to watch. Every day while I was gone, she was on time, left me a happy little note about the status of everything and pictures of all my babies. Personally, the fear/worry/anxiety about leaving my babies as well as just someone coming in my home was enormous, and Marybeth really put that to ease for me. (I know I already mentioned that, but I figured for anyone reading this, who is on the fence about hiring through Rover). I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, kind, sweet person to take care of your precious family members while you are away. She even returned my key promptly upon my return. Thank you to her again. I am forever grateful for her.”


“Thank you Linda A, once again, for taking care of my kitty while I was away. All was perfect, I didn't worry or stress knowing my fuzzball would be looked after. All good!!”

“Jackie has been our saving grace since moving to the capital region. She responds quickly to requests and is incredibly flexible with her schedule. Our fur babies love her and we appreciate her consistency and professionalism.”
“Don’t let the limited reviews scare you away! She watched both of my dogs for a week. She was on time, sent great pictures, monitored food intake and was quick to respond. Hope to have her watch the doggies again!”

“Net is awesome! She came to the house a few times, to meet Lucy, before our trip so Lucy was comfortable with her. She visited Lucy 4 times per day starting very early and a bedtime visit around 8:00pm. Polite, dependable, caring, professional and dedicated are a few words to describe Net. We will definitely have her take care of Lucy again and I encourage you to have her care for your pet as well! Six out of 5 stars!!”

“Sandy is such a lovely person. I have a very anxious cat with separation anxiety and she was so understanding and good with him. She sent picture and video updates every day and was always super responsive. On top of all that, Sandy was so accommodating to my last minute schedule modifications. She's easygoing, kind, and amazing with cats!”

“Highly recommend Nina! She is communicative, understanding, pleasant, friendly, honest, and flexible. She took care of my cat for 4 days and was prompt with her check-in details. My cat loved her and we cannot wait to hire her again!”

“Evelyn is very kind, caring and conscientious with my 2 dogs. Evelyn spent the time to give my guys attention and affection. Feeding my guys is a creative endeavor, Evelyn successfully got them to eat. I highly recommend Evelyn . Repeat customer!”

“Kaelin made time to meet us and my Loki before starting drop ins. She was delightful and I (and my pup) felt very comfortable with her immediately. Although the weather was sleeting rain, she played frisbee with my high energy border collie for the majority of her time with him each day and left lovely little check in messages and photos.”

“Kailey was great with our dogs during the drop in visit. One of our dogs is protective and weary of new people, but he was calm and comfortable with her. We’d definitely hire her again!”

About: “Every snack you make, every meal you bake, every bite you take…I’ll be watching you.” - 🐕🐕🦺🐩 Fun Fact: If your dog doesn’t like them, you probably won’t either! Nearby the Northway, 787, and I-90. Just 15 minutes away from Albany International Airport and Albany Bus Terminal. My home is the perfect location for flexible drop-offs and pick-ups - early or late to match your travel needs. I have 10 years of experience. I provide specialized care for both playful little ones and senior pets, including gentle handling, health monitoring, and medication administration. I've had my two Maltese dogs for 9 amazing years, and they truly are my whole world! My journey with animals started when I was a child with my first pet, a sweet pitbull who was my constant companion. As I grew up, I discovered just how easily I bond with animals, which has only deepened my love for them. Right now, I have a female Maltese named Luna and a male Maltese named Christmas (but we call him Chris). I adore all kinds of animals, big and small! My goal is to provide a true calm and relaxed "home away from home” environment for every tail that walks through my door💕. Which means your pet will be treated like family-whether staying at my home or coming with me to work. Please note that I only take 1 household pet(s) at a time. Quality over quantity always! PLEASE make sure your pets are current on Rabies, Bordetella, and free of fleas/ticks. Thank you! I truly believe in keeping my clients' pets company, which is why I never leave them alone at home. Taking care of your furry friends is my passion, and I make sure your pets are always by my side. Pet Care Policies & Meet-and-Greets To ensure the best experience for you and your pet, I offer meet-and-greet sessions to better understand your pet's routine, temperament, and specific needs. Safety is always my top priority, so please disclose any reactivity or resource guarding behaviors. ABOUT ME: Hi there! I’m originally from NYC but moved to the Albany area six years ago to be closer to my family. I graduated from Mercy University in 2023 with a degree in Behavioral Science, and I'm currently working towards my dream career as a Real Estate Investor! But as of right now, I’m a Real Estate Salesperson! When I'm not busy with pets or work, I love hitting the gym, diving into a good book, exploring new restaurants, and enjoying quality time with my family and furry pals. I have a part-time job Tuesday through Thursday (4:30am-12pm) But Friday- Monday, I’m a full time pet sitter which means I will be home 24/7 with your pets!!💕💕Thoughout the day, I will take my client’s pets out for a walk around the neighborhood or a hike in a local park. (If your dog enjoys being around other dogs, I usually take them to a local dog park where they can run and play freely!) AND BEST OF ALL… Spend some quiet time together. Cuddle on the couch and give a gentle massage to help them relax! A little note for my wonderful repeat clients: Once you’re comfortable, I’m happy to offer convenient off-app payment options like Zelle, CashApp, Venmo, and Apple Pay. Looking forward to taking care of your pets! For my client's pets - I send detailed updates throughout the day with very high-quality photos. If I'm providing 24-hour care, I'll send three quality updates (morning, afternoon, and evening). I like to keep my clients in the loop and connected to their pets in a way that relieves worry. I make sure that all pets are walked, fed, have water throughout the day, and receive lots of love/care! Since I have pets of my own, I like to watch body language and (if needed) I separate dogs if they seem uncomfortable or they aren’t understanding another dog’s language. It doesn’t happen often, but it does happen and the goal is to keep everyone safe.

Hailey did a great job. She was everything we expected when we met her and she did everything, and more, that we asked her to do. She did a good job sending us updates and photos. Made us feel at ease while we were away. We will use her again if there is a need. Thank you!

Amy! We love having you! You take such good pictures of the boys. You’re always so prompt in timing to get there and in response time. I know when you’re at my house, my babies (Leo & Turbo) are safe and getting all the love! We are so happy we came across your profile on Rover before we stopped searching for another dog sitter. The boys are excited for you to come back already!

Net is awesome! She came to the house a few times, to meet Lucy, before our trip so Lucy was comfortable with her. She visited Lucy 4 times per day starting very early and a bedtime visit around 8:00pm. Polite, dependable, caring, professional and dedicated are a few words to describe Net. We will definitely have her take care of Lucy again and I encourage you to have her care for your pet as well! Six out of 5 stars!!

Couldn’t be happier with the care Thor dog received! Kaelin went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and loved while I was away. From daily updates and adorable photos to thoughtful walks and playtime, it was clear my pup was in great hands.
