“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”

“Omg, we’re so thankful for Geena! Story time, so our previous sitter was unavailable but the app said she was available (technology lol). So we were worried because we didn’t have a backup plan and we needed a sitter for my grandma’s funeral. Geena was so helpful with last minute arrangements and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our fur babies for the day. She responded to all my messages, questions and even sent pictures. We were able to attend the funeral with no worries and even booked her again for our vacation. I would definitely recommend using her and we will continue to book with her. Thank you again 💜🫶🏾💜”

“I was very nervous about leaving my sweet little Betty while I had to leave town for a week. She usually goes with family! But Richelle took care of her as if she were family. She kept me at ease with regular correspondence and photos. Thank you so much!”

“❤️Rosie loves her second home when we are away. She so loved by Sylvia & Mark. It’s comforting to known she is in a good home when she’s away from home…..Thank You Again ❤️”

“They were great with Bailey, communicated just the right amount of times to help us feel at ease while far away, that he was doing okay. When he arrived home, he was calm and relaxed, and that's a sure sign for us that he was well cared for and felt comfortable. Would highly recommend and definitely will use them again. Thank you for letting us enjoy our time with our family without worrying about Bailey. :-)”

“Great experience! Check in wth updates about my dog was n timely matter , made me feel very comfortable with leaving my puppy & he was very happy . Will definitely be using her again ?❤️”


About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! I offer a safe, loving “home away from home” where your dog is treated like family. I work full-time at my regular job Monday through Friday and am available on rover Saturdays and Sundays. I accept drop-ins, boarding and dog walking. For boarding your pup will have constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I have 2 dogs Milo & Ori. Both are 9 years old and are shy and protective so for your pups safety (if boarding) dogs will be separated. Our days include fun backyard playtime, neighborhood walks, and cozy evening couch cuddles. I strictly follow your pet's feeding and medicine schedules to keep their routine normal. You will receive daily photo updates so you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind. I work full time Monday through Friday at my regular job and am usually available after 5pm so I can stop by for drop in visits or a 30min - 1 hr walk during the week. I am also available to care for your pet all day/overnight on Saturdays and Sundays. I have a medium/large fenced back yard where your dog can roam and sniff around for potty breaks. I live right by the Mohawk-Hudson trail where I can take your pup for long and beautiful nature walks. I also allow dogs on my couch where they can relax.
“Catherine and her family took great care of my dog Riley for two weeks while I was on vacation. Riley stayed at her home, and she got a lot of exercise, socialization and love while she was there. Catherine sent pictures, sweet notes and funny observations almost every day. I will definitely request Catherine in the future when we need a pet sitter.”


“Jarvis loved staying with Kierra and her family. He was well cared for and Kierra sent many photos of Jarvis playing with her dog Atlie. I highly recommend her, and Jarvis looks forward to staying with them again!”


“I see why Jude is a star sitter, she was amazing with Remy, always keeping me updated with photos. Remy liked it so much he was whining when it was time to go home, he didn't want to go!! I will definitely keep her for a long time hopefully!!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I offer morning dog walks or dog/cat drop-ins before 11:00 AM and evening dog walks or drop-ins after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their pets get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I am available most weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.
“It is always so comforting to know that Bailey is in good hands when we go visit our family. She keeps us informed and sends pictures. This is the fourth time we have used Brigid and Bailey seems to feel just as comfortable there as he does at home. Thank you Bridgit!”

“Our cat loved it with Emma and made herself right at home. She was great with pictures, notes, and even sent a little video. I'm excited to have someone I trust with Charlotte. Thank you to Emma and her lovely roommate.”

“I've finally found the best sitter. Heidi and her family took my dog Romeo into her home for a weekend and treated him with love and respect. She sent me updates and pictures of Romeo throughout the day. There were other pets at her place that Romeo got along with very well. I can tell he made some great buddies. She even cooked rice for him(Romeo loves rice) and gave him treats! Communication was great from start to end. I think my Romeo boy misses her already. Thanks Heidi!!!”

About: I am a certified cat lover and have cared for cats of all ages from playful kittens to senior and geriatric cats. Ive cared for, and currently share a home with cats who are shy and cautious to outgoing and full of energy. I’ve learned how to understand and adapt to each cat’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’ve also frequently cat-sat for friends, family, and others, including cats who need extra attention or specialized care. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs cats, administering medications, following specific feeding or care routines, and giving extra patience and attention when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals - and especially cats! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters, working to help socialize both cats and dogs to help them get adopted faster. The number one thing I learned from this time is that patience is key with cats. They’ll tell you what they are and aren’t comfortable with! Taking time to slow down and earn the trust of cats has been a major influence in making me a cat person. I started formally cat sitting for friends a few years ago, and it has revitalized my love for taking care of animals. It would be a pleasure to help you with your four legged fam!
“Stephanie was amazing. We met her once and knew she was the right choice. She was easily able to handle providing medication and special nutritional needs for our two older girls, as well as, keeping our younger guy busy with plenty of playtime. Steph sent plenty of pictures each day along with a detailed recap of each visit. When we were delayed 2 days getting home from our trip she was happy to extend our agreement to help us out of the jam. I would recommend to anyone needing care for their animals… as long as we don’t need her first!”


“Anna was awesome!! I really appreciated her updates and communication. She left the house in great shape. Most importantly, my cat Azi clearly adored her, and I could travel knowing he was safe and happy. Will definitely hire again :)”


“Larissa is the best petsitter I’ve found in the Troy area. Dependable, communicative, and punctual- she went above and beyond what I expect from a sitter. She provided excellent care to my cats over the holidays. I can always tell how a sitter engaged with my cats by whether the cats greet me at the front door when I return. With Larissa as their sitter, the kitties were excited and curious upon my return, greeting me as soon as I came in the door. That tells me they were engaged and well cared for in my absence. Thanks, Larissa!”


“Nicole went above and beyond for our two cats while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks, including staying extra time to try and find our super shy cat, and helping us rig up a camera to watch her eat to make sure she was doing well. She also brought in our mail and a couple packages while we were gone which was a huge help. Both cats were well cared for, even though one never made an appearance!!”


“This was my first time using Rover and Lauren helped walk me through the process and put me at ease. Lauren took wonderful care of my cats. She sent me updates each visit and plenty of pictures. What particularly impressed me though was my [typically] more shy cat really came around and was curious about her. Seems like my cats were impressed, too.”


About: I have worked with cats my whole life. My experience spans across all ages and stages of life. I am able to accommodate sick and aging cats, and administer most medications. In having a cat of my own, I understand the variety of needs your pet may require. I will treat your fur baby like my own!

About: I have extensive professional and personal experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications, as well as injections like insulin, and following special care instruction. One of my favorite parts of cat care is grooming. There's nothing i love more than a cat relaxing in arms while I brush them.

“Linda took such great care of our cat while we were out of town! Her detailed (and funny) updates on her visits and several fun photos were very much appreciated. She was very responsive, and came for a meet and greet before her first visit. Our cat gets stressed when we are gone, and we felt so much better knowing he was being well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out to Linda next time we are away!”


“Awesome sitter! Would recommend to anyone looking for cat care. Bonded well with my cat and had great communication. Will definitely be booking again in the future :-)”

“Melanie is so wonderful! She graciously took a last minute booking and also was super easy going about my address mixup which I GREATLY appreciate her for. I would absolutely book with her again.”

“Kania puts my mind at ease when I'm out of town and require someone to care for Lux! She was very flexible and was able to accommodate a stressful last minute change of plans and still made sure Lux was looked after!”


“I like Loren a lot. She's down-to-earth and easy to communicate with. My two kitties seemed to feel really comfortable with her from the very first moment. She was conscientious about following my instructions, and I am happy with the care she gave. I trust Loren and will request her services again in the future.”

“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!”
“So accommodating and communicative, and my puppy was so happy when I picked her up! I could tell it was a really fun day for her. Kania was so sweet and it is clear that she has a lot of experience with dogs. All in all, she was great and we will definitely be back!”

“Our Hoagie had a great time with Monique and Ace. The dogs got alot of playtime and Hoagie got his snuggles from Monique. Great furbaby sitter and she sent pictures of there time together. Will be back for more playdates for sure.”

“Xena had a great time at doggy daycare with Kimberly. I’d highly recommend her. She kept in contact all day and sent photos and videos. Which is what any crazy dog mom needs! ??”

“MaryEllen was all I could have asked for and more to watch my little girl Nala! She was kind, easy to work with, responsive, and thoughtful! She went above and beyond to make Nala feel at home and welcome! I will absolutely ask her to watch Nala again!”


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.

We are so blessed to have found Anna and we definitely will be booking her for the future.

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.
“Katie is fantastic! I was sooo nervous leaving my anxious pup, but Katie communicated throught the day by sending pics and videos which put my mind at ease. He had such a fun time with Katie and her son he's so tired! ❤️”
“Will always always always leave Macie with Cache whenever I’m in Albany and need someone I trust to watch her. Macie simply loves Cache and seems to know when we’re on our way over 🤣. I’m grateful for Cache’s flexibility and how easy it is to communicate with her 🫶🏼.”

I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own, so I am very comfortable around a household with multiple pets. I've worked with a variety of sizes and breeds as well, so I can meet different routine and mental stimulation requirements you have for your pet. If needed, I can crate easily. Scooping litter boxes, feeding, medication administration, and light pet grooming are also services I can provide!

“Victor was wonderful and was able to stop by and walk my dog with only one day notice. I appreciate your prompt communication and taking Luigi on a nice walk. Thank you so much!!”


About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! I offer a safe, loving “home away from home” where your dog is treated like family. I work full-time at my regular job Monday through Friday and am available on rover Saturdays and Sundays. I accept drop-ins, boarding and dog walking. For boarding your pup will have constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I have 2 dogs Milo & Ori. Both are 9 years old and are shy and protective so for your pups safety (if boarding) dogs will be separated. Our days include fun backyard playtime, neighborhood walks, and cozy evening couch cuddles. I strictly follow your pet's feeding and medicine schedules to keep their routine normal. You will receive daily photo updates so you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind. I work full time Monday through Friday at my regular job and am usually available after 5pm so I can stop by for drop in visits or a 30min - 1 hr walk during the week. I am also available to care for your pet all day/overnight on Saturdays and Sundays. I have a medium/large fenced back yard where your dog can roam and sniff around for potty breaks. I live right by the Mohawk-Hudson trail where I can take your pup for long and beautiful nature walks. I also allow dogs on my couch where they can relax.
“Marybeth was great with Reggie! He’s a goofball and she handled his enthusiasm like the pro she is. Reggie looked forward to their walks—literally—he sat by the door waiting for her to arrive.”


“I was able to book with Linda under some tight time constraints, she was super flexible and made time for a quick meet and greet before booking. She has a very calm energy and did great with my beagle who was a little stressed after a long move from CA. Loved the pictures and updates she sent, highly recommend for anyone in the area :)”

About: I've been a lifelong cat companion and caregiver, having raised and nurtured them since I was young. Over time, I've also bonded with my cousins' and friends' dogs, learning their unique needs and quirks while helping with everything from daily care to playtime. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I genuinely enjoy keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy. Since I currently work remotely, my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and dog walking— whether it’s a midday stroll or an overnight cuddle session. With a little heads-up, I’m happy to help with house sitting, too. Caring for animals isn’t just a part of my day — it’s something I truly look forward to. In my home, I’m the go-to comfort zone for my two cats — they always come to me for cuddles, calm, and of course, their meals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I create that same sense of safety and familiarity. My friends’ dogs naturally stick close to me, whether we’re relaxing or out for a walk, because I make sure they feel secure, heard, and happy. Whether it’s your place or mine, I treat every pet like family — with patience, gentleness, and attention to their unique needs.
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I know just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. About a year ago, I unexpectedly lost my own boy to a sudden heart condition. It broke my heart, and for a while, I couldn’t imagine opening my home to another dog of my own. I do, however, miss having dogs in my life—their personalities, their companionship, and all the joy they bring. That’s what led me to Rover! I’d love the opportunity to give your pup some extra love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of patience, affection, and care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I’d be honored to be that person for you. 🐾❤️ I’m a bartender with a schedule that gives me plenty of flexibility during the weekdays. My days off are often spent getting outside for walks, runs, and enjoying some fresh air, so having a pup to join me would be the perfect addition to my routine! Because I work at a seasonal location, my availability will become even more flexible as the season winds down. I’m looking forward to using that extra time to spend with dogs, whether that means a long walk, some playtime, or simply giving your pup some company and attention while you’re away. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely love being around dogs, so I’d be happy to make your pup part of my everyday routine! 🐾 I have a large two story home with plenty of space for roaming and playing, as well as a fenced in back yard. We do not have any pets at the moment so it’s very easy to accommodate yours.

“First let me say... Petey and I absolutely loved Hannah from the very start... We had a very nice introductory walk before I left on vacation. Everyday she actively communicated... and every day she went above and beyond. Hannah took great care of Petey and I greatly appreciate that she did!! Even my neighbor reached out to me and told me what a great job Hannah did walking Petey. They said that they were able to see that her and Petey got along well. The fact they expressed that to me was probably a bigger compliment then I could give in this review. So yes... we loved Hannah!! We look forward to touching base with her and we look forward to asking her to look after Petey again the next time it is time to leave town. Thank you Hannah... we truly appreciate you!!”

“Rita was wonderful with my pup! It was great to meet her, and she went above and beyond with walking my dog while I was away. Long walks in Colonie park and socializing with other dogs (which my dog struggles with normally - yay!!). Will happily use her walking and boarding services again.”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since as long as I can remember. I have gone through 5 dogs growing up and have always been surrounded by the pets of friends and family! I’ve always loved every kind of animal, I believe the bond between a dog or cat and their human is truly unconditional. I’m eager to meet and care for more furry friends! I am a full-time hairstylist. Though I am scheduled for the same hours each week, sometimes I have slower weeks than others and my weeks are never always the same. I am looking for Rover as a side job to help me out during my slower days! I live in an Inlaw apartment under my mom‘s house. We have a fenced in backyard. I only have one cat in my apartment, and my mom has two dogs that are very friendly. We have a walking trail along a river across the street from our house!
About: I have loved animals all my life and your pet will have a great and safe time with me. I will make sure they are well cared for and that they get out a lot during the day. I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room. I have a 15 year old son who also loves animals and really wants a dog and this will also be an excellent opportunity for him to really learn what it is like taking care of a dog. your pet will be in great hands. So give us a call and we will treat your pet like the family member I know every pet owner wants
About: I have over 8 years of professional pet care experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets needing medication. I provide reliable, loving care with regular updates. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a house. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets my full attention throughout the day. In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I give them the freedom to explore, play, and relax, and I always tailor their care to match their unique needs and routine. Whether it’s scheduled feedings, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I make sure each pet feels right at home.

“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”

“I was very nervous about leaving my sweet little Betty while I had to leave town for a week. She usually goes with family! But Richelle took care of her as if she were family. She kept me at ease with regular correspondence and photos. Thank you so much!”

“They were great with Bailey, communicated just the right amount of times to help us feel at ease while far away, that he was doing okay. When he arrived home, he was calm and relaxed, and that's a sure sign for us that he was well cared for and felt comfortable. Would highly recommend and definitely will use them again. Thank you for letting us enjoy our time with our family without worrying about Bailey. :-)”

“Great experience! Check in wth updates about my dog was n timely matter , made me feel very comfortable with leaving my puppy & he was very happy . Will definitely be using her again ?❤️”

About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I offer morning dog walks or dog/cat drop-ins before 11:00 AM and evening dog walks or drop-ins after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their pets get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I am available most weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.
“Our cat loved it with Emma and made herself right at home. She was great with pictures, notes, and even sent a little video. I'm excited to have someone I trust with Charlotte. Thank you to Emma and her lovely roommate.”

“I've finally found the best sitter. Heidi and her family took my dog Romeo into her home for a weekend and treated him with love and respect. She sent me updates and pictures of Romeo throughout the day. There were other pets at her place that Romeo got along with very well. I can tell he made some great buddies. She even cooked rice for him(Romeo loves rice) and gave him treats! Communication was great from start to end. I think my Romeo boy misses her already. Thanks Heidi!!!”

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!
“Phelan took great care of Sadie and made her feel right at home! She's a great communicator and she sent us lots of updates and pictures of Sadie. We look forward to bringing Sadie over again!”

“Samantha and her family are amazing. Honestly. My first time boarding my 3 month old puppy and they made it so easy. Communication and kindness!! Such genuine people. Thank you for everything!!”

“Cache was patient and responsible and we’d happily hire her again. Our dog can be challenging but seemed to love her and as happy when we picked her up. Cache’s calm demeanor was just what our dog needs. 😍”

“Our pups Brooklyn and Sebastian had the best time with Chelsea and Christopher! They are genuinely wonderful people and you can see the love they have for the dogs they take care of. We already have their next sitting scheduled and the dogs can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much for all of the daily updates and pictures!!”
