I’ve booked Kevinh twice now, this time was a last minute, long-term arrangement. He was just as wonderful with Zula as he was the first time. He’s incredibly attentive to her needs, and I can see she adores him. He’s excellent! Absolutely no complaints at all.

Brigid did a great job taking care of our senior dog for the first time. She was very communicative and sent us photos of various happenings during the days that Jessie was at her house. We appreciated knowing that all was well while we were away. Brigid was very conscientious in following through with all instructions for our dog’s care. We have already booked her for another time.

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!

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.

This is the second time we entrust Penny to Christopher and his lovely wife, and they continue to provide wonderful care for my elderly pup, all while sending me pics and videos of her, which is always wonderful. Penny requires attentive care with meds and some ear cleaning, and Christopher did both. They are great dog sitters!

She was able to give Lily play time alone from other dogs and gave her a lick mat when she was nervous after arriving. I knew Lily was in good hands for the weekend and would be happy to have Maggie as her sitter again!

We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!

Kathleen took excellent care of my chihuahua, Cody. Over the course of a month, I boarded him with her a few times each week, and I always felt confident he was in great hands. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly patient, not just with my (very energetic!) chihuahua 🙃, but with me as well. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

Our dog has anxiety issues and Margie made sure to care for her needs (excelled, really), and was comfortable giving medicine to her each day. We will book another time for sure!

We can’t say enough about how great Miranda is! We had to leave our cats in the house with contractors working upstairs. She helped them stay safe and comfortable, which also moving them down to the basement at times while the contractors worked. She gave outstanding detailed updates. The only reason we were able to go away and not worry about our cats was because Miranda did such an amazing job!

Eleanor was so nice and pleasant to meet with, was always right on time with check-ins, and had no problem using not one but two different types of automatic feeders. I highly recommend Eleanor as a pet sitter, and I plan to reach out to her anytime I need a cat sitter!

Juliana was a fantastic dog sitter ! She was really prompt with communication, sent pictures of my pets, and overall was incredibly professional. She also let me know when small accidents happened, like when my dog knocked over a houseplant while he was playing or when he chewed on his leash. She was patient and did GREAT with my large, high energy 2 year old poodle. I’m very grateful to have a resource like her nearby and I look forward to hiring her again

Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.

About: 2+ years kennel experience. Including but not limited to, walking, bathing, feeding and giving any oral medication. Since working there I have been a pet sitter for many of my friends and family. I love caring for all animals of any size! I am currently available on WEEKENDS and 5pm - 8pm weekdays. I will care and love your pups and/ or kitties, like my own, during our walks and/or visits! My pups and I are lucky enough to have a fenced in yard of our own to play in, but at least once a day I like to take them for a walk. I will care for your pet however they need to be tended to. Whether that’s playing outside, walking them or just keeping them company inside. I can assure that you and your pet will be happy and satisfied at the end of our visit.

About: 🐾🏡 About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner, trainer, and former kennel manager with experience caring for all breeds, ages, and personalities. My home is active and structured, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and enrichment. I currently share my home with Border Collies, Labradors, and a few mixed breeds, and we’re active in dog sports like frisbee, obedience, and dock diving. Whether your dog is social or needs their own space, I can accommodate them — as long as they are people-friendly. I strive to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you have peace of mind. 🐶 What Your Dog Can Expect Safe, structured, and enriching days: Morning play/walks, breakfast, digest & rest breaks, afternoon activities, and evening wind-down. Large fenced backyard + indoor play area for all weather. Crate-based routine for meals, rest, and overnight for safety and comfort. Daily updates: Photos, videos, and notes so you stay connected. Personalized attention based on your dog’s personality, energy, and needs. 📍 Convenient Location Just 3 miles from Albany Airport Near I-87, I-90, and I-88 — perfect for travelers ✅ What I Provide Expansive fenced yard & indoor play space Wide collection of dog equipment (bring only collar, leash, and food) Experience with puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and multiple breeds Knowledge of breed-specific needs, safety, and bloat prevention 📌 What I Need From You Vaccinations required: Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella Crate-trained dogs only What to bring: Collar, leash, and food (please no beds) Daycare: All daycare dogs require to ha e a m&g and a trial day before being able to book freely. Drop-Ins/House Sitting: Meet & Greet required. Keyless entries only, will not keep keys. 🗓 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Morning: 6:00–7:30 AM Evening: 6:00–7:30 PM No Saturday evenings or holiday exchanges Please specify a time to avoid overlap — residential area, so we keep things calm for neighbors and dogs 💬 Meet & Greets Recommended for all new clients Please schedule at least 2 weeks prior to your stay 📅 Routine & Peak Season Peak Season: May 1 – September 30 Structured routine: multiple outdoor sessions, playtime, meals with digestion breaks, rest periods — no free-for-all boarding ✨ Why Choose Me? I live and breathe dogs — training, sports, and overall enjoyment are my passion. Your pup will get safe, structured care, plenty of exercise, and personal attention while you get peace of mind and daily updates. We keep a very rigid structured routine. Our day starts between 6-7am, with initial let outs--group play if appropriate to get that morning energy out. Then we settle in for breakfast time, all dogs rest 30 minutes prior to meals, 30 minutes to eat, then followed by another 30-60 minutes to digest. This helps prevent bloat( while any size dog CAN bloat--most often occurs in larger/deep chested breeds, but I take no chances). We then are in and out throughout the rest of the day when dinner time commences between 5-6pm, repeating the same 30-30-30/60 routine. Last let outs and romps wrapping up around 10-11pm. I don't operate a free for all. Fully fenced in yard. Specifically zoned areas for potting and play. Daily house keeping services including vacuuming and daily crate wipe down and disinfection. Dogs are outside as much as we can be, under direct supervision weather permitting.

Great first experience leaving my dog in their house for a day for daycare. Christopher and Chelsea both are very kind, sweet, patient and knowledgeable about caring for dogs. When I picked up, I can tell my baby is so happy, satisfied and well rested. Will definitely come back again!

Jialin and John took great care of our Noodle while we attended a friend’s wedding in the area. We are not NY locals and the decision to bring our dog on the trip with us was somewhat last minute, so we were so lucky and grateful to find people to care for Noodle for a full day on such short notice. We received many photos and videos throughout the day which reassured us that Noodle was having fun and in great hands! If we lived in the area we would 100% book them again, and we’re honestly bummed that they can’t be our regular dog sitters due to distance. We are very satisfied with the care they provided and we highly recommend them!!

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. During the week I work full time, but occasionally I do have weekdays available, as well as most Fridays in June and July. I can also do late afternoon or evening drop ins during the week - even if I have the day blocked off I can often still do an evening visit, feel free to message me and ask. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

About: I’ve had my own animals, both cats and dogs (mainly cats) since I was 6 years old. I’ve had to administer insulin before to my diabetic cat that has since passed. My experience with dogs are mainly of the bigger size (I had a pitbull/boxer mix and a pure bred chow chow). I’m currently working as a Direct Support Professional overnights 9pm-9am Thursday through Saturday (technically Sunday 9am). So I’m pretty open for picking up last minute gigs if needed. I would love to have a break down of your pets day to day. Typically when they are most ready to play or eat. When potty breaks need to be done around.

About: I have been working in animal and the dog sitting space since 2020. I have managed a range of pets from rats all the way through dogs. I have worked with sick animals before (administering diabetes shots, cleaning wounds and stitches) and am comfortable doing that moving forward. I have worked with many dogs at a time (up to three) many times in my career. I have also worked with nervous and reactive dogs as well. Overall I really have seen it all. I work a standard 9-5. That being said I work from home every other week, so depending on the week I can spend much more time in the home and provide more supervision. I love to be active so making time for walks and outside time will always be a priority. With weekends off I can spend those full days with your precious pet. I ensure that your pet is healthy, happy and comfortable. I let them become used to me and work around them. This is their space a they should feel safe there.

About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember and began dog sitting and walking for family friends while I was in high school. Since then, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Chihuahuas to German Shepherds. I also had a Corgi of my own, which gave me firsthand experience with the daily responsibilities and joy of being a dog owner. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive the personalized care, attention, and love they deserve. While I'm new to Rover, I'm excited to provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your pets. As a medical student, I'm organized, responsible, and attentive to detail. I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, provide plenty of affection, exercise, and enrichment, and keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. I am currently a medical student studying for my board exams and spending time with animals is one of my favorite ways to take a break from studying, so dog walks, playtime, and pet visits fit naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around the pets in my care. I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and ensuring your pet receives the time, exercise, and affection they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs or preferences. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual personalities and energy levels. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, secure, and following any household guidelines. I'll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: Come check out my virtual portfolio🐶💞‼️ Hello my name is Kimberly, I am a postdoc (bi-lingual). I worked in 3 different emergency vet hospitals during high school and then throughout college. My love for this field started at a young age, while I may be getting a career in this field, my family overall is embedded and involved. Having a sister who is a licensed technician and two immediate cousins (home I am close too🙂!) are veterinarians (1 being a surgeon). That being said.. I have worked in an animal hospital through a paid position for six years straight, From there I have not stopped dog walking & pet sitting involving all types of animals, cats & dogs, birds, fish, reptiles, bunnies, mice and even monkeys! After woking in veterinarian clinics, I worked with larger breeds such as monkeys where I was able to be trained and later assisted on surgeries. I also pet sit with my sister Rahuchel. She has been a Vet-tech for 14 years and a registered nurse for 5. Disclaimers‼️ ‼️If you are located in South Point you will accrue an additional $5/service/day. ‼️Any pet that requires medication administration will accrue an additional $5/service/day. Boarding walk schedule: Morning walk ☀️ 6:30-7:30 am Mid day walk 🥙 12-2:30pm Dinner walk 🍽️ 5-6:30pm Last call 📞 9-11:30pm I have a fenced in dog park at my apartment complex and two friendly small pugs. I have the ability to crate your friend if you would like (but you must bring the crate), I can also separate them if you want. I ensure food is never shared by separating everyone during meal time (regardless of allergies) and I do not give out my own food or treats (to ensure maximum safety). I have plenty of time to walk and care for your best friend! I typically like to walk dogs minimum of 3 times a day. I also have a vehicle and am willing to drive up to 10 miles to ensure you feel comfortable with whom you choose for you pet care needs. I have a fenced in dog park, and 2 fur babies to keep your babies company. I am familiar with crate if you prefer your friend is crated when I am not home, otherwise, while I’m there they can roam as they please! My walk schedule is as follows (subject to change based on the pets I have and their needs!) Morning walk ☀️ 6:30-7:30 am Mid day walk 🥙 12-2:30pm Dinner walk 🍽️ 5-6:30pm Last call 📞 9-11:30pm Regardless, if the pet is OK, off leash, I still walk everyone on a leash. I do not except non-neutered with non-spayed pets. Medication administration is no problem

About: Hey, Rover friends! My name is Alex (he/they) and I absolutely love dogs. Growing up with an 85-pound yellow lab, I fell in love with these gentle giants as a kid, and volunteered at the local animal shelter during high school. I have experience with various types of training, including crate training, teaching loose-leash walking, and doing socialization work in public places. Over the past four years, I have sat for dozens of clients, both through Rover and for family and friends. I also serve as a regular dog walker for several others. I have experience with a wide variety of dog breeds and ages. From rescue mutts to the stigmatized Bully breeds, family dogs, and herding dogs, I believe that each dog has a unique personality and can thrive given the right circumstances! In the next couple of years, I hope to adopt a rescue dog myself, but right now, Rover gives me the chance to be around lots of different animals despite my busy lifestyle. I am a PhD candidate, and I work from home a good portion of the week. When I teach, I am typically gone for 4 hours at the most, so I am able to check in on dogs frequently. I am also a very active person and enjoy strolls through the park, long hikes, or easy tempo runs on local cross-country trails. For doggy daycare and boarding, I have a comfy crate that is adjustable to your pup's size, and for their safety, I typically crate them if I leave the house until we have built a relationship. I have a small fenced-in backyard which is perfect for potty breaks, fetch, and short training sessions. I live close to Washington Park, and frequently take pups on the loop around the lake. I also enjoy taking day trips to the Adirondacks and Catskills for hiking :)

I’ve booked Kevinh twice now, this time was a last minute, long-term arrangement. He was just as wonderful with Zula as he was the first time. He’s incredibly attentive to her needs, and I can see she adores him. He’s excellent! Absolutely no complaints at all.

Lori was great with all aspects of scheduling our meet and greet and trial overnight with Cornelius! She was quick to respond and so accommodating to make this easy for us. I trust her judgment with her other dogs she is boarding with Cornelius, as well! Thank you Lori! Bonus, fenced in backyard!😀

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!

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.

This is the second time we entrust Penny to Christopher and his lovely wife, and they continue to provide wonderful care for my elderly pup, all while sending me pics and videos of her, which is always wonderful. Penny requires attentive care with meds and some ear cleaning, and Christopher did both. They are great dog sitters!

Maggie was extremely accommodating when I needed a last minute sitter for the weekend! She was able to give Lily play time alone from other dogs and gave her a lick mat when she was nervous after arriving. I knew Lily was in good hands for the weekend and would be happy to have Maggie as her sitter again!

We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!

Brad and Mary did a fantastic job watching my shy girl, who is a COVID dog, and can’t stay with any other dogs. I’m glad to leave PomPom with Brad and Mary so that we could have a peaceful vacation without worrying about her.

Absolutely thrilled with Cashe's dog bordering services! Professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to my pet's needs. Cashe was highly responsive to my texts, making the whole experience seamless. My Opal seemed happy and I couldn't have been more at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommended!

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.

Kathleen took excellent care of my chihuahua, Cody. Over the course of a month, I boarded him with her a few times each week, and I always felt confident he was in great hands. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly patient, not just with my (very energetic!) chihuahua 🙃, but with me as well. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.

Margie and her family are absolutely wonderful. Very easy to schedule a meet and greet, time to drop off/pick up our dog and received plenty of updates and photos. Our dog has anxiety issues and Margie made sure to care for her needs (excelled, really), and was comfortable giving medicine to her each day. We will book another time for sure!

We have used Sheronda two times within the last couple of months. We have nothing but praise for her and her family as well as the care she has given to our Elly. She was also understanding when we had a medical emergency on our most recent trip. We love how many updates and pictures we get. You won't get a better dog sitter anywhere. We look forward to using her service again.

Margaret was amazing with Hershey and Mosby! We had complete trust that she'd be a good fit for watching our boys after doing a meet-and-greet with her and Luna, and after her weekend of watching them, she somehow exceeded our expectations! We loved receiving all of the picture and video updates and knew they were in good hands with Margaret. Thanks again!
