Doggy Day Care in Colonie

“Anna went above and beyond for our boy Glaciers first time away from us! Not only was she accommodating on pick up time, but gave us updates along the way to let us know how he was settling. We appreciate all your extra efforts in making us feel comfortable, and your warm demeanor. We can’t thank you enough, and on top of it all G was given an adorable take home bag with goodies! 💕”

“Mark & Sylva were great hosts for my dog when we needed a few hours of care while my son toured a nearby college. They were welcoming and kind and did a great job with her. I'd happily book again if we're in Troy in the future. Thank you!”

“We were very happy that Gracie had a safe, caring and understanding environment. She is full of energy! We are going back and having Gracie stay for a weekend.”

“Cheryle is great! She sent pictures during the day which made us feel very comfortable that our dog was nice and relaxed and enjoys being with Cheryle and her dog. Her house is set up very nice and the backyard too. I would highly recommend Cheryle!”

About: Freedom is my actual birth name (preferred btw) So here at Freedom Cares 🫶🏼 I believe all animals have their own unique level of care needs. I grew up with a variety of furry friends from a very young age. I remember being 3 and hiding in my Nanas room with Kittens and snuggling them trying to feed them with my (dolls play baby bottle) and. My experience with animals Includes dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, donkeys, ducks, turtles, cows, fish and more. Animals are always drawn to my calming energy, regardless of where I am. Farm, fair, friends house, walks, etc. I Firmly believe my Biological mom named me Freedom for a reason. I am a private caregiver to those with disabilities. Therefore my schedule is quite flexible. I can do drop inns, boarding, overnights, walks and more. Some of my clients even enjoy pet therapy. As long as the pet owner is up to that. 😊 As a kid I had many animals and experience with farm life. Including 4H training for dogs. I most recently have experience at a dog daycare. Where we practiced techniques from The Dog Guru. More importantly each animal/client/prospect is different. Therefore, I will follow the clients/animals routine. Whether the animals need long walks and extra attention. Or just a quick drop in and some fresh water. Or extra lovings while their owner is away. Your animal/animals will surely be taken care of.

“We wanted our pup to get more socializing during the day while we are at work and Maegan turned out to be perfect. She is very responsive, flexible with our drop off and pick up times, and very trustworthy. Her and her family are also very kind and sweet and they make a great home for our pup to enjoy during the day. They have a dog of their own and she watches other dogs on occasion as well and everyone gets along great because of Maegan. We can’t thank her enough for how she cares for our dog.”

“Amazing service! Communicates well with me during the day. Sends me photos and feedback. My puppy loves them and is always so happy to see them. I look forward to working with them further.”

“Emily was so professional and loving with our best buddy Ebbet. He can be shy and nervous, and Emily was incredibly patient and thoughtful giving Ebbet time and space to acclimate to a new person. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful. Ebbet loved her, and he is choosy with his love 💗”

About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I’m currently unemployed as I recently left my job as it just wasn’t the right fit any longer. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.

“Pamela was great. We would definitely leave Kenny with her in the future. Thank you.”

About: I am just a life-long, no-kid, dog-mom. I have cared for dogs at all life stages, and with various behavioral needs - have even had to learn a little doggy body language for my rescue buddy. I work remote 3-4 days a week from home via Zoom or phone - which both have incredibly effective noise cancelling technology = barks are no problem! My home office has sliding glass doors that open to the back yard for easy supervision and quick access. I also work onsite 3-4 days a week in Latham for 4-8 hours a day. If that's a concern, I can confirm my schedule at booking. I limit bookings to one doggie guest at a time, whether daycare or boarding; Rover will show me available for one if the other is booked, but I do my best to manually update my availability in those cases. I have a big fenced, grassy yard that’s treated for fleas and ticks. Whether your buddy’s into chasing balls, catching zzz’s, leaning into squishies, and/or scarfing snackies, I’ve got them covered. Your dog will be treated like family - with care, snuggles, and supervision to keep them safe.

“Sky was great with Lenny. Would definitely have her care for him again! Very responsive and caring about his needs. Would recommend for sure.”

“Serhii and Olesia were amazing and went out of their way to take care of our dog! She had so much fun there that didn't want to come home with us!”

Sherry S.

“They were fantastic! My pup was able to play all day and meet some other pups. Patrick is very nice and was super flexible with times. Highly recommend”

Jordan M.

“Christopher and Chelsea were awesome!! They were very responsive and my pup had great time! My pup can be very timid when meeting new people but came around really quickly! I could tell she was well cared for and would definitely bring my pup back!!”

“I am so grateful to Kim for watching my dog for daycare. Tuna had a great time hanging out with resident pup, Bella; they ran around in the enclosed back patio and she got to hang outside on the deck which is her favorite pastime while waiting for me to pick her up after work. Kim's son took her on multiple walks each day, including first thing in the morning which gave me peace of mind and made our morning that much easier. I could tell Tuna liked spending the day there which is super important to me; we'd love to be a repeat client due to our positive experience!”

“Ripley had a wonderful day with Kristine and Flynn! My girl (and myself) has some anxiety quirks, but between Kristine and her husband being such genuine pet loving people, and how great Flynn is with other dogs, it was truly a wonderful experience. Ripley was happy and pooped when she came home! We look forward to our next daycare and sleepover. Thank you so much again, Kristine!”

Casey R.

“My dog LOVES staying at Korinne’s house! He gets so happy when he gets out of the car. Korinne and her family love him like their own and she is always telling me she loves him and loves snuggling with him. She sends pictures of him while he is there. Being away for 4 days from him was hard but seeing those pics and getting texts really helped. I will always keep using Korinne she is fabulous!”

Gina S.

“Daycare with Madeline and Sammy was easy to schedule and book and our dog seemed to really enjoy the day! They played all day and went for a walk and our dog returned home exhausted, which was just what we were hoping for! Thanks for a fun day!”

Jessica P.

“Great first experience leaving my dog in their house for a day for daycare. Christopher and Chelsea both are very kind, sweet, patient and knowledgeable about caring for dogs. When I picked up, I can tell my baby is so happy, satisfied and well rested. Will definitely come back again!”
