“Samantha was excellent with my dog Duncan! She was so patient with him, gave him lots of walks and was more than communicative of how he was doing, inclusive of lots of picture updates. Will happily rebook Duncan in with her for daycare anytime, I could not recommend her highly enough!”

“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!”

“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.”

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

About: NYS Scuffle Certified™️! I am an employee at Dogtopia™️ when not with Christopher and the pups, so my whole life is dogs. 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!

“Chloe was fantastic! I will definitely use again going forward. Excellent communication and our dogs got along wonderfully. My dog was already enthusiastic for his second visit.”

“Sky was great with Lenny. Would definitely have her care for him again! Very responsive and caring about his needs. Would recommend for sure.”

“Steph was awesome. Super friendly and very flexible as my schedule shifted a little in drop off day. Logan had a great time. We’ll be back for sure the next time I’m in Albany!”

“Jayla was very communicative and understanding when having bruno. She also took off the carpet when I shared that may be bruno might chew on it because it was a fluffy one. She took good care of him”

“Stephanie and Ramon are lovely and kind people. We made a mistake in booking the right day, and they were so flexible and nice to accommodate Toffee on the day we originally wanted in a very short notice. Thank you guys!”

“Kaylee was awesome! We were visiting family nearby and needed a few hours of daycare and Kaylee was perfect. Nice big yard and a puppy playmate for our spunky girl. Freya made herself right at home and had a great time! We will definitely keep her number for any future trips to the area!”

“Was looking for a dog sitter for my neighbor while they were gone and I needed to travel. My first time using Rover, found a dog sitter in my area to take care of the pet while I was gone. They even took the dog to a lake which surprised me and sent fun photos throughout the stay! Phelan did a awesome job! She deserves five stars! Thank you.”

“I'm not prone to praise but I actually watched my dog moan in sadness when Alex walked away that to me says it all”

“Ripley had a wonderful day with Kristine and Flynn! My girl (and myself) has some anxiety quirks, but between Kristine and her husband being such genuine pet loving people, and how great Flynn is with other dogs, it was truly a wonderful experience. Ripley was happy and pooped when she came home! We look forward to our next daycare and sleepover. Thank you so much again, Kristine!”

“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!”

“She was attentive and sent pictures of the walk and playing with both doggies”

“Brandon was great with Pepper and super flexible! Would absolutely recommend him :)”

“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.”

“Ann is amazing. It’s silly to write more because that covers it. But she is responsible and kind and so in love with all things four-legged. The only downside is that your furry friend could end up loving her more than you. She kept my stubborn hound with her for us during a short trip and he fell madly in love. If her full time job could be rubbing velvety ears, noone would leave that situation unhappy. Noone I would trust my magical puppers with more, hands down.”
