1. Sylva & Mark M.

“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!”


2. Christopher T.

“Accommodated a last minute booking. Great communication. Home well suited for dogs and dog-focused. Roxy seemed quite happy when we picked her up.”


3. Maegan K.

“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.”


4. Stephanie B.

“Stephanie was amazing! Very communicative and got back to me fast. She has a great yard for the dogs to be in. I also appreciated that she understood the nuances of senior dogs. If I was back up in the area I would use Stephanie again.”

He and I have had a plethora of pets, from cat to dog to turtle to rodents and beyond. I have over a year and an half experience working in doggy daycares, and have volunteered at many pet shelters. He has been on Rover for eight years and loves animals. I work daily with pet trainers, vets, dog behavior specialists, and know a lot about canine and feline health and nutrition! We can house up to six dogs at once and believe in complete transparency and communication and trust! Ask any questions your please :) The two of us have plenty of time to spend with your pups and kittens. Christopher is home 24/7 and all my free time is spent at home! I make sure to give plenty of potty breaks and walks as needed, and a lap to cuddle on! I have a fenced in yard, spacious house, and safe neighborhood for visiting pets. With crates already installed in house, and plenty of toys, your pet will have a guaranteed happy time!

9. Imonia R.
About: I am a huge animal lover ever since I was a child I've cared for pets from guinea pigs to horses however dogs, cats and fishes I had the most experience and absolute companionship. Throughout my life I've had over 5 dogs, 13 cats, 3 turtles and multiple fishes as well as cared for neighbor pets and children while their caretakers were in need. I know how to provide pets with their medications, brush their teeth and when to give their needed walks and attention. I keep up with my health and cardio resistance to keep up the fun of helping others and doggy activities. I love to stay active. Most importantly I am happy to be reliable, careful, loving and playful with all animals.


10. Emily Z.

“Emily is one of the most caring and responsible people you will ever meet. She loved and took care of my pup as if it were her own and I never worried a minute with having my dog in her care - and my pup looked forward to visits from Aunt Emily! Sadly we no longer live in the same city so I can't count on her dog-sitting anymore, but my loss is your gain!”


11. Kristine & Robert L.


“Kristine was great! Bella can’t wait to come back and play with Flynn! She kept me updated, sent photos and was very kind. Can’t wait for next months stay!”


12. Korinne B.

“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!”


13. Stephanie R.


“Stephanie was awesome! She took our dog, Waylon, for a few hours and hike we visited family, and I would definitely drop him off with her again if we’re in town. She made us feel very comfortable and she took great care of him. Thank you!”

“Elijah has been absolutely amazing! Tucker is always so exited to go hang out with him… and he loves being able to run around in the back yard!”




15. Nicola S.
About: I was born in Washington DC raised in New York city, currently reside in Albany NY. I am free spirited and an adventurous woman. I spend most of my free time outdoors engaging with Mother Nature. I am a part time housekeeper, and have a passion for holistic health and wellness. I embrace qualities of compassion, warmheartedness, authenticity, accountability and am told by many that I emit a strong sense of nurture. This speaks in volumes with my interaction with animals. I have a tender heart for all walks of life and especially love surrounding myself with animal companions. I had a lifetime of experience in caring for my own animals and the past, as well as several years of professional pet-sitting/dog-walking for friends, family, and community. I have volunteered at various animal shelters and have worked alongside trainers so I have a few training skills up my sleeve. Know that your animals will be in good hands... undoubtedly spoiled with TLC and outdoor adventures!


16. Khianna L.
About: I live very close to three different parks and will make sure to take your pup for a trip regularly during the week so they can have fun and release some energy. I love pets, I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10, whenever someone in my family would travel they would leave me their dog and I loved every minute of it. I’ll take care of your pets as if they’re my own, they’re in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and have a big park close in distance so I have enough time and resources to make sure your dog is well taken care of and pampered. I will make sure your pup isn’t missing anything. Regularly take them on walks, take them to the park multiple times a week and I will ensure they stay hydrated

“Cache is top tier! Everytime Yugi even gets near her place he runs to the door and can't wait to hangout. I would reco her to anyone!”


18. Colin & Haley G.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Colin and his wife, Haley. They’ve been helping me out with my two high strung dogs for years and it’s been a godsend to have someone I trust with my dogs and home in times of emergencies. Colin gained the trust of my wary pup quickly and confidently which is no small task. I highly recommend Colin! He’s offeres a perfect mix of structure and fun that’s been so beneficial for my boys.”

About: Great passion and empathy for animals, demonstrating a genuine love for their well-being. Excellent observation and attention to detail to identify any change in behavior or health. Ability to follow instructions and protocols with precision and efficiency. Physical resistance and strength to handle and hold animals of various sizes and temperaments. First of all, assess your age and health. Second, look at their breed and size since their needs vary according to their size, an example, large dogs need more exercise than small ones. Third, establish meal times since dogs usually eat 2 to 3 times a day and cats tend to eat more times a day. You also have to properly portion your diet.
