Dog Boarding Normanskill

“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.”

“We had a great experience with Lori! She was very communicative before and throughout Ollie’s stay. Her home was warm and inviting for the pups staying with her and the fenced in yard was a huge bonus! We hope to have Ollie visit with Lori again soon!”

“Samantha and her partner were absolutely amazing. They are the best sitters I have met by far. I 10000/10 recommend. Samantha updated me throughout my dog's stay. I will definitely rebook.”

“My dog Cora stayed with Marisa for one night. Cora is a timid/skiddish dog and Marisa was very good with her. Would definitely use Marisa again!”

“Chelsea and Chris were amazing!! Munson came home well rested and loved. I am so grateful to them and so happy I found them. The constant pictures and communication was awesome. I take comfort in knowing there is someone I can leave him with - who will love and care for him as if he were their own.”

About: I’m a certified dog trainer with 30 years of experience and have helped thousands of dogs—from puppies to seniors. Your dog will never go home with worse manners after staying with me! Every pup gets one-on-one attention, enrichment, and plenty of daily playtime. I’m home the majority of the week, which means your dog gets lots of company, cuddles, and care! I’m happy to board your sweet pup anytime you need me. I’ve got a fully fenced yard and a goofy young playmate who loves making new dog friends! Your pup will enjoy tons of zoomies, sniffing, and social fun. At night, everyone snoozes safely in their crates—but don’t worry, I’m always on “midnight potty duty” for puppies and seniors who need a quick outing!

“Patty took fabulous care of our two dogs while we were in New York visiting our son at college. She went above and beyond making sure our girls felt right at home! We loved the updates and pictures and we very much look forward to having them stay with Patty the next time we are in the area! We highly recommend Patty!!”

“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”

“Amy was wonderful with our puppy! She took great care of him and kept us updated during the stay. It’s such a comfort knowing he was in good hands. We’ll definitely book with her again.”

“Laura is an angel in human form! She has an ABUNDANCE of experience working with dogs, especially senior pups like ours. We have never felt so comfortable leaving our 17 and 16 year old dogs with a sitter. Thanks Laura!”

Maddie H.

“This is my second time leaving my Paris with Ms.Vera. I receive photos and videos throughout her stay, which makes me feel, that my Paris is doing just fine. I always feel that Paris is well taken care of and safe when I'm away. Ms. Vera will be my go to everytime. Thank you Ms.Vera”

“Jayla is very knowledgeable about dogs and is super wonderful to interact with! We will definitely be bringing our boy back to stay with her again :)”

“I highly recommend boarding with Maggie. I have relied on her for dog boarding for several years, since my dog was a puppy. He is prone to stress induced tummy troubles from my longer trips away, but Maggie always takes extra care to ensure he’s happy, comfortable, and cared for—and consequently he’s had no issues from boarding for quite some time. I trust and recommend her care, and my dog is always excited to see her at drop off (which I take as a strong indicator of his comfort level there). I’ve also had spontaneous adjustments to travel plans occur (e.g. cancelled return flights), and Maggie has been flexible in adjusting accommodations as needed and overall has been a great help in reducing the stress that comes with those scenarios.”

“Our dog Dax literally danced in the back seat of the car when we pulled onto Kristine and Robert’s street! Dax is always excited to see them and his buddy Finn, and we are always assured he is in the best hands.”

About: 🐾 I’m absolutely obsessed with cats—and honestly, that’s the biggest reason I’m here. Rover isn’t just a side thing for me… I genuinely love spending time with cats and getting to know all their unique personalities. At home, I care for three cats of my own, so I understand everything from playtime energy to quiet, independent moods. I’m also known locally as a stray cat feeder and caretaker, and I always keep cat food in my car—because you truly never know when a hungry kitty might need help. Caring for animals isn’t something I “turn on”—it’s just part of who I am every day. While cats are my specialty, I’ve recently been spending more time around dogs as well and have become increasingly comfortable and confident with them. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to different temperaments, whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between. When you trust me with your pet, you’re getting someone who is: ✔️ Reliable & responsive ✔️ Gentle, patient, and detail-oriented ✔️ Experienced with multiple-cat households ✔️ Truly passionate about animal care I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own—with love, respect, and close attention to their needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. I’m also very flexible and able to travel, so feel free to reach out with whatever you need—I’m happy to make it work!! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I recently bought a house here in Albany, so it’s just me and my studies now — which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to caring for your cats. As a law student, my classes are only on Mondays and Wednesdays, so the rest of the week I’m fully available to spend quality time making sure your cat (or cats!) get the love, attention, and care they need. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping your cat’s routine consistent and stress-free. That means fresh food and water on schedule, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime and affection — whether that’s cuddles, brushing, or just quiet company if your cat prefers space. I always make sure to respect your home, follow your instructions closely, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and safe. If I’m welcoming a cat into my own home, I create a calm, cozy environment with safe spaces for them to explore or retreat to, depending on their personality. I treat every cat as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

“Alex was WONDERFUL! He went above and beyond to take care of my 70lb foster puppy, Sony. Took him on long walks and to the dog park ?. He was also super helpful when I couldn’t get the crate into my car. He went above and beyond by picking up the crate and the pup at my apartment. Sony was so happy and relaxed when he got back home. I will definitely book with Alex again.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals, including dogs, and cats. I’ve managed households with up to 5 dogs at once, including large breeds like German Shepherds, so I’m comfortable handling high-energy and strong dogs. I also have a dog of my own and three cats, so I understand daily care, behavior, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m reliable, attentive, and experienced with feeding, walking, and general care for multiple animals at once. I’m currently a student with a flexible daily schedule. I have a break in my day from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM, which is perfect for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m also available before and after classes, and I can be flexible on weekends depending on your pet’s needs. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I follow your instructions closely and make sure dogs get regular walks and attention, even without a yard.
