“I can’t say enough about Jaya & her family taking care of my dog Barley like he was one of theirs. She was quick w/ responding, and her communication was thorough. Barley loved his “sleep over” playing w/ Jaya’s cute pup Biscuit in her big back yard. She made me feel like Barley was safe & would be cared for just like her own. We’ll surely be hoping she is available again for our next pet sitting need. Thank you Jaya !”
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.
About: Hi! I'm Nyla G., an experienced pet caretaker with three years of dedicated work with cats and dogs. My passion for animals and extensive experience ensure your furry friends receive the best care possible. I offer services including feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I understand the unique needs of both cats and dogs and tailor my care to suit each pet's personality and preferences. Whether it's a playful puppy or a cuddly cat, I provide attentive and loving care to make them feel comfortable and happy. In addition to my practical experience, I stay informed about pet health and behavior through continuous learning. I am reliable, responsible, and always prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets. If you're looking for a trustworthy and experienced pet caretaker, I'd love to help keep your furry friends happy and healthy! I’m currently working part time, but I’m usually free to work anywhere virtually. No request is unreasonable, feel free to reach out! I value all my relationships with my paw parents! I have a pretty spacious home and backyard with many park areas, and I tend to treat my client’s dog with the same care and discipline as I’ve done for my own pets (i.e. nutrition, bathing, exercise, attention)
“Anna was fantastic! She messaged everyday with updates on how my pups were doing, along with pictures. My 2 dogs are vastly different ages and temperaments and Anna seemed to have no trouble making sure both were happy and comfortable. They got walks each day, even with the cold weather. We even needed to extend our pups stay with her on short notice and she was extremely helpful and accommodating. Then when we picked up our dogs, Anna gave us a couple new toys, several printed pictures of the pups during their stay, and little "report cards" of how they fared during their stay with comments. We would happily have Anna watch our dogs again any future times we needed.”
“We went away for about two weeks and it was our first time leaving our dogs with someone other than family. Tiffany gave us updates and pictures to ease our minds. Our dogs have different personalities and Tiffany was able to accommodate them both. We feel very comfortable having them stay with her again”
About: Need extra attention for your fur babies? I not only feed/walk your pets, I read or sing to them after meals/exercise. I spend the time needed to ensure their comfort while you are away. I love both dogs and cats. I grew up with Dachshunds, St.Bernards, Beagles and an Airdale Terrors (not all at one time!). I've also had cats through the years. I have 2 now (lost one in June, 16 years old). All of my cats have been indoor and spoiled rotten! I have helped owners who have been hospitalized, vacationing and working to ensure their furry friends are safe and happy. Rest assured...your pet will be well taken care of. ❤. Why did I decide to do this? When I've traveled, it's been difficult finding reliable sitters or drop in visits. I can assure you, there will be no worrying about your furry family member(s). At your home, your furry family members will be well taken care of. They will receive lots of love and attention. Be sure to instruct me about any special needs. you will receive updates when taking care of your pets. I can do early drop-in visits (7-9 a.m.) and afternoon/ evening hours. I have no restrictions on weekends. I can be fairly flexible because I work out of my home. I can only offer services in your home. Your pooch or kitty will get lots of hugs and kisses. I will treat yours as I do mine.
“Patrick and Sara were super stars!!! They have a nice big, beautiful property and some sweet pups. Patrick was very communicative and made a concerted effort to make sure I wasn't anxious or nervous about leaving my doggy with them for the weekend. My pup came back happy, healthy, and (I think) a little sad to leave their place. Couldn't recommend Patrick and Sara more, and I'm pretty hard to please :)”
“Peg is our “go to” pet sitter! She provides an environment of comfort & fun activities for the dogs. The photo updates are a bonus. They reassure me and make my day. She is reliable and our dog adores her and his visits.”
“Anthony and Jane were fantastic. Great communicators, really nice setup on their property with tons of space and a fenced yard. My dog got along well with theirs. Will definitely book again.”
“Bryanna was an amazing host for our puppy Sunny! She provided frequent updates and pictures throughout his stay, which was much appreciated. After his stay, she gave us great feedback about our boy!”
“This trip away for work was less stressful for me because I knew Buddie was getting lots of love and attention all week from Mike and Amy and having so much fun playing with his friend Bear.”
“Everything went wonderfully! I was worried about leaving Wednesday with her medical issues but Mikkal knew what he was doing and took great care of her! She seemed very happy and healthy when I picked her up and will gladly use his services again in the future should I need them.”
“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.”
“This is Tyson's second time staying with Amanda. She is really good with him. She has a fenced in yard and often has multiple dogs to keep company with including her husky. Her dad even came by to see Tyson. When traveling it's such a blessing to have good people to watch your pet so you don't have to worry. I feel like he's having a sleepover at a friend's house. Thank you Amanda!”
“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: I’ve pet sit for multiple dogs, and my pup loves having friends. I telecommute and minimize my time out of the house on petsitting days. Occasionally I have foster dogs and won’t be available for services in my home on those days, but I’ll update my calendar. I live in a great neighborhood to walk dogs. I’m able to use lunch breaks to take your fur baby out for some mid day exercise. I have the sweetest dog to keep your fur baby company. I stay in the same room to make sure everyone is having a good safe time. I’m in a residential area so if boarding, your pup will have safe walks in my neighborhood.
“Andre (John) took great care of Gus and Penny. I appreciated the pictures and updates during their stay. My sister recommended Andre and she was correct. Great care!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Menands is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Menands
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joni! I’m currently in Spain, and when my regular dog sitter unexpectedly had to leave town, I was scrambling to find someone I could trust with Tiny. I looked through about 50 profiles on Rover before choosing Joni, and I am SO glad I did! I was incredibly anxious because I had never left Tiny with anyone other than people I personally knew. Joni exceeded every expectation. She took such amazing care of Tiny and checked in with me multiple times a day, which truly put my mind at ease. She alleviated all my fears, and I was actually happy knowing Tiny had such a fun, caring person to spend time with! On top of everything else, I completely forgot that Tiny had a vet appointment for the health clearance he needed to fly internationally. Missing that appointment could have jeopardized getting him to Spain. Without hesitation, Joni took him to the vet for me and saved the day! I honestly cannot believe how incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and caring she was to both Tiny and me. She went above and beyond in every possible way, and I will always be grateful for her help. If you need a dog sitter, I recommend Joni 10,000 times over! You can trust her to care for your fur baby as if they were her own. I would absolutely book her again without a second thought!
Kimberly was absolutely wonderful with Rocky! She took such great care of him for 21 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Rocky was in such good hands. She was caring, attentive, and made sure he was well taken care of the entire time. We truly appreciate everything she did and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. Thank you, Kimberly, for taking such great care of our Rocky! ❤️🐶
Kevinh is amazing! I felt super comfortable, leaving my snow princess with him. We received constant updates and photos, and I know that my girl had an amazing time with him! So much so that we live in the same neighborhood and she has spotted him at times and she immediately tries to run to him! He really does care for your dogs as his own. So grateful to have found him on this app.
Kim was absolutely amazing with Otis! She kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and well taken care of. I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her, and it was clear he was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend Kim and will definitely be using her again in the future! 🐾❤️
Kevin was amazing with our little senior dog, Roxy! We are so thankful we found him as we felt very reassured leaving her in his care. He is attentive and reliable, and we could tell that Roxy felt right at home with him! She occasionally can be anxious around new people, but that was clearly not the case with Kevin. Will definitely re-book with him in the future!
I was able to find Albert last minute, and I'm so glad I did! He's a total pro, and I knew my dog was in great hands within a few minutes of meeting him. He took excellent care of my dog, and even took the initiative to work with her on some behavioral issues while I was away. I'll definitely be booking with him again!!
Anna took care of our 2 senior boxes for 2 days while we were on vacation. Normally we leave them with trusted family members while we travel, but our daughter had plans and could not keep them in her care. Anna is the first pet sitter outside family who has kept them in her home. She cared for them as if they were her very own. They settled in easily and got along famously with Anna's fur babies. I highly recommend Anna to anyone needing to board their pet outside their home.
This was our boxer Peanut’s second time staying with Shantalee and it was again wonderful. She is attentive, sends tons of photos and drops in with notes just to let you know your pup is doing okay. She lives in a great apartment in an easy area to get to, not congested for good walks with dogs, only 5 minutes off the interstate. We drive out of our way (over an hour) when visiting family in the area just to make sure Peanut gets time with Shantalee!!

There are 390 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Menands. About 94% of Menands sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
