Dog Boarding Upper Washington Avenue

“Brigid was a great match for my older dog, thorough in asking about his needs and care, and communicated well through out the entire time she had him. Would book again for sure if we need care!”

Danielle C.

“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!”

Kathleen O.

“Emer was a real pro. Picked up Cheerio and returned him happy and healthy. I am one of her first customers and I would certainly use her in the future. She is a true "dog person".”

Mickey K.

“This weekend was Marloe’s first stay with Lori and I would say he had a blast! Lori was communicative throughout the entire stay. There were a few other pups staying throughout the weekend and I was impressed with lotus logistics of handling all of that. My pup came home tired and happy from his long weekend with various friends. As an apartment dweller he doesn’t get to roam outside as often as I would like so this was a treat for him. Thank you!”

Erica H.

“We love leaving Atlas with Patty! She gives us tons of pictures and makes us feel so comfortable leaving our pup! He always loves staying with her and his dog buddies!”

“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.”

Shrinidhi G.

“Cache was absolutely amazing with our puppy Nala! She sent consistent updates, and Nala seemed to have so much fun when she was there. 1,000,000% would recommend and most definitely will be a repeat client!”

Dustin D.

“Chelsea and Christopher were incredibly flexible and they responded quickly by text message before the visit and during the visit. This was our first time with them and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. They are very conscientious about how they introduce all their dog guests to each other and have plans if any of them do not get along. They sent me photos and updates during our dog's visit and were flexible about the pickup time. I will definitely use them again and would recommend them to my friends.”

Cathleen D.

“Maggie was great with our bulldog that can struggle at night time separated from us. He came back healthy, happy, and tired! Will be using again.”

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!

“Kevin N. went above and beyond to make me and my pets more comfortable about being apart. My first rover sitter, will book his services again!”

Ivan D.

“Chris is so nice and easy to work with. He had great questions wanting to make sure he knew Rocket’s schedule. He took good care of Rocket. He sent photos and provided updates on Rocket’s eating. Also Chris was super flexible when I needed to add an additional day. We will definitely work with Chris again.”

“(I have a BullyMix) Jayla is great! Warm personality can see she is caring and my pup will be in great hands and he was!! This was my first time and my pups first of staying overnight and overall with someone he doesn't know. She shared pictures and updates and accommodated my delay in schedule. He seemed happy and at ease! Thank you will be booking again.”

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.

“Kyle is an outstanding sitter. Everything was perfect for caring for my pup. I will use her again every time I need a sitter in the immediate area.”

Rick S.

“We are so thankful that Samantha was able to watch Milo on short notice when we traveled home for a family funeral. She does a great job of sending us little updates and photos so we can have peace of mind while traveling.”

Ashley H.

“Sheronda was a great sitter for my elderly poodle! She provided updates and photos and was very conscientious about a couple of special instructions I left. Sheronda is highly reliable and very personable. I highly recommend her!”

Karen E.

“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”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I really lucked out! Kristine and Bob were, in a word, awesome!! They were very gracious, have a very nice home, and my golden retriever took to them (and their own dog) immediately!! Kristine sent me lots of pictures of my dog while I was away, and gave me updates on how he was doing! My "buddy" had a great time and was SO well cared for!! I plan on using them next time I need boarding for him: I would highly recommend them!!”

“Laura is amazing. She owns several small dogs, and has a lot of experience with senior & special needs dogs. She immediately put us at ease during the meet & greet, which she offered to do prior to Molly's stay to make sure we were comfortable w/ her & her home (and to see how Molly would do with her dogs). During Molly's stay, she sent us frequent pics, videos & updates, which was fantastic. She's competent, friendly, & reliable. We will definitely be bringing Molly back the next time we need boarding.”
