“Eleanor took great care of our two cats while we were away! They both warmed up to her and we (and them!) appreciated her engagement and play time with the cats! She was also very responsive and sent us plenty of pictures.”
“I am beyond satisfied and so pleased with Linda's care for my kitties while I was away. It can be so stressful for Pets (and Pet Parents), trying to make sure all is okay when out of town, especially when an older animal may need special care. Linda went above and beyond, was reliable, respectful and responsible (a huge snow storm didn't prevent her from visits) flexible-my plans changed due to a family issue, twice. Linda was calm and accommodating, which gave me such peace of mind. And my home was tidier than when I left! Most important- my cats are happy, apparently well fed and amused, and not traumatized by being away from their home or ignored. Linda's daily photos and "report card" was terrific! Thank you, Linda, for everything. Now my cats are back to ignoring me, I know they're probably waiting for Linda to come by...!”
“Stephanie did a fantastic job! She provided great detailed notes on the visit and made us feel secure while keeping our puppy happy. She’s a great listener and followed all our care instructions; I’d recommend her!”
“Alessia was wonderful with our shy kitty! Willow came out on the second visit and felt confident enough to come out each visit after! We are so happy that she was able to get love and cuddles while we were gone! Alessia was communicative and sent great pictures! Clearly an animal lover and cares about her clients! Will definitely be booking her services again!”
“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!”
“Jessica was great with my 6 pets on a recent weekend. She was very responsive, sent me photos, communicated with me daily and was successful at getting 1 of my dogs with dementia to go outside for her. Would recommend.”
About: Ive always been around animals, both wild and domestic. I feel very fulfilled and passionate about working with animals, and understand their language quite well. Im happy to give exercise or comfort, whatever is needed. I can do some behavioral training as well. Im happy to adapt to whatever needs present themselves! I'm currently back at my parents house, waiting to join the Navy. I have plenty of free time and would love to spend it taking care of our furry friends! I have been traveling all over the country the past ten years, taking care of others pets and houses. This includes large lands, with chicken, goats, compost...the whole thing! I also have my own husky mix, and have kept her super happy and healthy. Ive also worked in behavioral health for years, and understand the approach that needs to be taken for both people and animals who have suffered from abuse.
“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!”
“Very professional! I did not have time to meet her in person before the holiday, but she was very pleasant and kind over a video chat! She kept my little kitty very happy and I am glad to have booked her”
About: I have actively been taking care of dogs since I was a teenager, and in doing so I have worked with a variety of breeds, sizes, and dog of different ages. My manner of minding focuses on building a connection with the dog while uniquely understanding the breed and the specific needs they may need met. I'm very active and thus great with dogs who are looking to get in shape or have high energy levels. I have experience working with dogs who have been abused or neglected and re-socialising them. My home is large enough for multiple dogs of many sizes to be comfortable in as well as a short walk away from multiple parks. Both mornings as well nights are currently available Monday-Sunday.

“Jose did an amazing job with Marley! I was able to leave an entire week without having to worry once. Was always on time and walked my dog to the park every time. Marley loved Jose, so much so Marley was playing fetch with sticks which I’ve never seen him do! Jose also took amazing pictures at every check in”

“It was a last-minute request towards the end of the night, but Glenmary made it happen regardless! I'm so glad to have found someone willing to go the extra mile for a furball that isn't theirs. It takes an extraordinary, empathetic person to do what they do. Thank you so much!”
About: I grew up with cocker spaniels and german shepherds, and I love to hang out with and walk dogs now that I have moved away from home. I frequently dogsit and walk for multiple families in the area, and I have watched dogs of all ages, from 10 week old puppies to senior dogs. During the week, I can be available for drop-in visits or walks in the evening if needed in the Latham and Loudonville area. On the weekends I have more flexibility and can help outside of the Albany area. I am unable to watch pets in my own home, but am happy to do home stays. I am used to walking dogs at least once per day, if not twice, and am happy to play and hang out with them.
“Katrina is a mature, responsible person who quickly earned our trust. Leaving our fur babies in the care of someone else is no small decision. We feel totally confident in her sensitivity to our older dog and our new rescue dog who is still adjusting. Highly recommend!”

Steven D.
“Between conducting independent research and working towards a PhD, I unfortunately found myself very busy and thereby unable to make time to walk my dog. Steven Dang was recommended to me by a friend who had been in a similar circumstance, and so I went ahead and contacted Steven with the offer to walk my dog during the evenings when I would be away, and that I of course, would pay him. Steven was very professional, answering my e-mails in a timely manner, being punctual for our initial and subsequent meetings, and never failing to meet my expectations. In fact, I was worried that my dog would end up loving him more than me, but I digress. As my friend did to me, I highly recommend Steven Dang for this job. Polite, charming, and an extremely hard-worker (he never failed to miss an appointment no matter the weather), I am utterly grateful towards Steven for making my life easier and walking my dog.”

Menands pet parents share their Rover experiences
Miranda did an outstanding job with both of our cats and we are grateful she was available on short notice. Our cats’ routine has been disrupted by some construction in our house and she adapted to taking care of them on 2 floors and keeping them feeling safe and happy.
Shea was a wonderful sitter for our puppy, she loved her. We had a few last minute changes to our schedule and she was so flexible and accommodating. She also provided us with great updates after each visit and plenty of pictures. Would absolutely recommend her!!
I can always count on Kaitlyn to go above and beyond expectations. She made sure Kittie was well taken care of, gave get lots of attention, and even vacuums and cleans up the litter that falls out of the box without prompting. She does it on her own which days a lot. I fully trust her and feel confident my animals are taken care of and loved on when she's there!
