Dog Boarding in Melrose, Albany, NY

“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”

“Cheryle is a great dog-sitter. Her house is well set-up for a little dog, with low couches, ramps and lots of cozy spots. Her dachsund was a great companion for my dog, Roscoe. Roscoe came home calm and happy after 5 days at Cherlye's. He was on a variety of meds for a sore back and she managed all those well and took great care of him.”

“My dog can be anxious and shy around new people, so I felt incredibly guilty and worried when I dropped him off at Stephanie’s home for boarding for a last minute overnight work trip. But Stephanie was fantastic and very communicative while my dog was with her. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures of him through out his stay that ease my mind and made me feel less guilty about leaving him with a stranger. And the biggest vote of confidence were all the pictures of him cuddling with her. I will definitely use her for future trips and dog walking in general.”

“Emily was an excellent pet sitter! Our pup has a new best friend! She kept us informed with plenty of updates and sent lots of great photos. We will definitely use her again if we need a sitter. Thanks Emily!”

“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”

“Lori was amazing and took excellent care of our dog for an overnight stay. We discovered that our dogs had met, walking at Capital Hills and had hit it off right away, so that was an added bonus. But I immediately felt very comfortable and when I dropped Clover off, I truly felt like I was leaving her with a friend. Clover came home clean, happy and exhausted. I can't recommend Lori enough and would absolutely reach out to her again when the need arises. Thank you, Lori!”

About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.

“So thankful for Olesia for taking in Drogo. And even taking him earlier than initially planned. We love all the photos they’ve sent, showed how happy and comfortable he is. Drogo really enjoyed his stay. When we visit the area again, we’ll definitely contact them.”

“It was a great experience!! It was a last minute booking and they did everything they could to help out and I greatly appreciate it. There is no doubt they care about their clients. I will definitely use them again.”

“Sylva & Mark were absolutely perfect. They took such good care of my boys and kept me updated daily on how they were doing. I couldn't have asked for a better couple to watch my boys. If you ever need a sitter I would 1000% recommend them. I don't trust many people to watch my pups but I would send my Buddy & Connor to them anytime. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for taking care of them.”

“Sofia had a great time with Chris and Chelsea! She was well cared for and even left with a cute new outfit and home made treats! They sent tons of pics which I appreciated. Thank you! 🩷”
