“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!”
“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.”
“Samantha and her partner Zachary took fabulous care of our two dogs for three days. They are both high energy young dogs, one 7 months and one 13 months old and we were worried that they were going to be a problem. They love each other, romping like crazy with each other indoors and out and Samantha and Zach had no problem dealing with them. When we went to pick them up, it was obvious that both dogs really liked their caregivers. What more can one hope for in someone taking care of their dogs? We will be using them again when we are back in the Albany area. Thank you, Samantha and Zachary! Clifford and Ann Wagner”
“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.”
“Lori was wonderful and so welcoming! Beau had a great stay with Lori and her pup, Rees :-). We received updates/photos while we were away and you could tell she treated Beau as one of her own. She even gave him a bath when he got muddy outside! Thanks again, Lori and Rees, for welcoming Beau!”
“Daniel is the absolute best! He watches our dog Rex while we are out of town and we feel so lucky to have found him. He is so great with communication and sends us pictures through the day! Last time we took Rex over, he was excited as soon as we got to the parking lot. Daniel is the best!”
“Marisa has been very accommodating to each of my stays for my dog!! I couldn’t more appreciative. I will definitely reach out in the future for more stays! Thanks Marisa!!”
“Chris was attentive to my dog's need and was easy to communicate with and was flexible to work with. My dog enjoyed his time under Chris' care. Would highly recommend”
“Great experience! My dog was very happy and well cared for. The service was friendly, professional, and attentive. I really appreciated how gently they treated my dog and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend them to other dog owners!”
“I totally and wholeheartedly recommend Laura! This was my 1st time ever boarding my 2 small dogs, and she made me feel so at ease from the very beginning of this new process. Seeing all the great reviews, I was assured that my dogs were in good hands with Laura. She took awesome care of my dogs and stayed in touch daily with pictures and updates. Laura is my #1 when the need comes up again. Thank you so much Laura! You are a blessing to the dogs you take in!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She helped us out when we were in a pinch and needed dog sitting for a weekend with only one days notice! We had never had Lucy boarded anywhere before and we were a bit nervous about the process, but it went so smoothly! She sent pictures to reassure my kiddos she was being well taken care of! I would definitely recommend her services and will be using her again for dog sitting in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Chelsea & Christopher! This was our dog’s first time boarding, and they took such great care of him. They were very caring, and we really appreciated the regular photo updates. They also made sure he got plenty of playtime and socialization with other dogs, which was especially great for our high energy puppy. When he was anxious at night, they were incredibly patient and comforting, even taking turns sleeping next to him so he wouldn’t feel alone. We really appreciated the extra care and attention they gave him. We’re so grateful for how well they cared for him and would definitely recommend them to other pet parents!”
“Vera is an incredible host! Our 1yo pup was in excellent hands while we were away for a week. She accommodated an extra day and gave plenty of daily exercise and attention. We’ll be back for another stay for sure!”
“Cache is absolutely amazing with our nervous boy, we appreciate all that she does for him while he’s there with her! He loves all the fruit he gets to snack on especially!”
“Nova had the best time! I can’t thank you guys enough for taking such good care of our girl 🙏🏾 If you are looking for a dog sitter who is super caring and knowledgeable, Sheronda is the one!”
About: Hello! I am 32 and a lifelong dog & cat mom. I currently have 1 big dog and 3 cats. I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and clients for as many years as I can remember. I’ve been an animal lover since I was old enough to know what an animal is. I’m comfortable walking large and reactive dogs, administering meds, cleaning litter boxes, and any other services you may need. Feel free to send a message to see if I would be a good fit for your fur family I work on weekdays from 8-4 pm, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to give your furry friend loads of attention and exercise. I love going on walks and stay pretty active as well as wake up early, so I’m able to walk your dogs as far as they like to go. I walk dogs at my side, and not in front of or behind me to avoid any dangerous or reactive situation that could come up, and I of course make lots of pit stops for sniffing around and photo opps
“I had to find a last minute sitter for my 2 dogs and was truly panicking because I usually interview any potential sitters. I found this lovely couple on Rover and they were responsive, very empathetic and reassuring. I was sent updates and pictures and I can highly recommend them to care for your animal. Will be utilizing them in the future.”

“Katharine did an excellent job taking care of my cat via drop-in visits while I was on vacation. Katharine is kind and friendly, very responsible, and experienced with cats, as a cat owner herself. She does a perfect job following directions and communicating, and she was very easy to work with. I highly recommend booking Katharine as your Rover, and I hope to work with her again in the future.”
About: While I've never owned a cat myself, I've had plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. In college, my roommate had a tuxedo cat named Chubs, and I loved helping care for him. With a little patience (and plenty of treats!), I even taught him to give his paw. Throughout high school, I also regularly cat-sat for a family friend's cats whenever they traveled. Those experiences taught me how important it is to respect each cat's unique personality while making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have been dog sitting dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with many different breeds both big and small. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now I love being able to go meet new furry friends and play with them I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.
“Dylan’s communication was fantastic and showed up for my pup and made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you Dylan, we appreciate your time and the care you provided so we could enjoy our time away!”
“Juliana was wonderful with my 4 year old cat, Georgia. I booked her for the first time for a 6 day trip and she was punctual for each visit, sweet to my baby and sent lots of photos. I would recommend her and will definitely be booking her again. Thank you, Juliana!”
“Eleanor is terrific! She was very conscientious about knowing how to administer my cats’ medicines. When I returned from my trip, my house was as orderly as when I left it. Most importantly, she has a real affinity for animals. My cats loved her. One of them is very reserved but I could tell from the notes and pictures she posted on Rover that he warmed up to her very quickly. I felt very comfortable having left my cats in her capable hands.”
“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.”
“Jen is INCREDIBLE! She was the best Rover pet sitter we’ve had. She gave our sweet cat tons of love and attention and sent us many pictures. Beans has kidney disease and Jen was great with her food and care. She also cleaned up an accident that our cat had and was very gracious about it. I could not recommend her more highly. Jen, we hope to have you help us out again soon!!”
“Connelly did a great job taking care of my cat. She was able to troubleshoot when he was acting out and when there was a power outage. Would definitely re book!”
“Juliana did a great job checking in on our cat while we were traveling. Throughout the process, she was friendly, professional, responsive and reliable. Our pet was well taken care of and we are happy with the service Juliana provided. We’d definitely use her again if we have any pet sitting needs!”
“Nina is a wonderful sitter, easygoing and knowledgeable. My boy Scooter thinks she hung the moon; he reacts happily to the mention of her name, and my shy girl, Lucille, actually let Nina pet her! This is Huge for her. Plus, Nina sends me pictures and reports upon the health of my kitties, which is very reassuring when I am away. Thank you, Nina!”
About: I have had cats for my entire life so you can count on me to clean litter boxes and wipe up that pesky vomit. I also know how important it is to play and sit with them, not just feed them. Plus I love sending photos to owners to assure them that their pets are happy and cared for.
“I highly recommend Jenny, she was fantastic with our new puppy. I needed a drop in visit during the day while I work, Jenny was was great. She picked up and replaced pee pads, played with our little one and sent pics. I had so much anxiety leaving our precious little one, Jenny helped relieve my worries! Many thanks!!”
“Sophia did a great job caring for our two cats for a week while we were on vacation! She was great at sending updates, including pictures and videos, and made my shy kitties comfortable. I highly recommend Sophia!”
“Mollie is extremely responsible and communicative. We’ve had sitters for years, but she especially impressed me because she came to the meet and greet with her own questions and took notes to be sure she understood all about our dog, Cookie. She kept in touch before the drop in visit and worked through a problem with us right away. She earned my trust and we will call on her again for drop in and house-sitting needs!”

“Chelsea was amazing and my pup must have known the minute he met her. It is rare that he walks right up to anyone he doesn’t know but he did with her. He seemed to have a great time and looked so happy in the pics. This really made me feel good about my choice. Thanks Chelsea. Loved the report card as well. See you next time.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for over 10 years. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dog. I love animals and I can stay in your home or host pets. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and bed. I have a fenced in back yard where your dog will always be accompanied by me. I will give lots of cuddles and love. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule where I can be home all day. I can also stop in for visits as needed. I have a fenced in yard and will always be with your dog in the yard. We can go for great walks around the SUNY Albany campus. I currently have 2 cats that are very kind and curious.
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.
“Keegan is the best 😍 he shows my dog so much love and affection. He communicates well, is trustworthy and keeps me updated with photos. He is such an amazing person and we are so grateful to have him in our lives. I trust him with all animals.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and families dogs. I had a Shitzu named Bella who I rescued in 2016 and she was older and had some health issues. I gave her the best life! She passed in Feb 2019 and will always be in my heart! Ava was born in 2020 and I got her when she was 8 weeks old. She is my love❤️ I treat every dog as I would my own with love and care❤️ Reach out and schedule a meet and greet before booking and we can get to know each other and introduce the dogs❤️ My current schedule is I am home full time. Ava loves to play and we go out several times a day for potty and play in my fenced in back yard, I have a fenced in yard. My dog Ava is 5 years old and she loves adults and children. She is very friendly and would love to play with your dog.

About: Hi, I’m Kaitlin Morton! Animals have always been a huge part of my life—growing up, we always had dogs, and that love for pets only grew stronger as I got older. I spent 5 years working at Mohawk Hudson as the Admissions Supervisor and also served as one of the Animal Cruelty Officers. During that time, I worked with pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me patience, understanding, and how to provide the best care possible. The “bad nuggets” have always been my favorite—I love working with animals who might need a little extra time, reassurance, or structure. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, training reinforcement, or just sticking to their daily routine, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I am very flexible with my schedule, I can work most days at most times. I will always have time for the pups, hope to meet your fur babies How I Care for Pets in My Home: In my home, pets become part of the family. I make sure they are comfortable, safe, and feel right at home. They’ll get plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles, along with a routine that’s as close to their own as possible. I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with cozy areas for them to rest, and I always supervise play to make sure everyone is happy and safe
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.
“With both me and my boyfriend working in healthcare and having crazy schedules, we decided to get a puppy. Then our work schedules got flipped and we were panicking on what to do with little man while we both had to work Christmas Eve and day and 12hr shifts. Then came a Christmas miracle, Kaitlyn and her amazing family watched over little Apollo. I was so nervous as this was my first time using Rover and I was unsure about the legitimacy, but Kaitlyn had great reviews and went above and beyond to make Apollo feel welcomed in her home and. She stuck to his feeding and training plan, tuckered him out with tons of play and made sure to update me with adorable pictures throughout the day! If you have a chance to book with her I would say absolutely do it, I would trust her with a human child!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Cache always answered messages promptly and provided frequent updates of how Macie was doing while I was at work. She asked questions about the routine, overall habits, and any specific medical issues.. So I felt very comfortable leaving Macie with Cache 🙂↕️. I left Macie with her for the day, and some nights I’ll probably do the same for work; I’m grateful to have someone in Albany that I can entrust my precious Macie with. Thank you and I will be booking with you soon!”
“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 offer boarding and drop-in care here in Delmar, Our fenced-in yard gives pups plenty of room to run, play, and explore.

“Karen has walked my two dogs multiple times and done a fantastic job! She is reliable and communicative, and I especially appreciate that she actually walks them for the full time - my girls are energetic and definitely need the full 30 min walk! Once she even walked them a little longer to give one of them more time/opportunity to go. I will definitely be booking Karen again very soon!”
“Jessica went above and beyond for Daisy! She was so patient and understanding of our shelter dog's need for slow intros and some extra support learning to walk politely on the leash. She was super communicative and took care to follow all the instructions we gave her. We recommend her highly to anyone who needs walking/petsitting services!”
“Katharine was extremely easy to work with! She assisted in fulfilling a last minute request, and got along great with my dog! She was able to get my pup to take a walk and eat her food, which are often difficult tasks due to my dogs anxiety. Would 100% recommend Katharine to others!!”
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 have been caring for pets for friends and family for many years. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty when it comes to cleaning up pet messes. Plus I love sending photos to owners to assure them that their pets are happy and cared for. I am mostly available weeknights and weekends. I am currently working full-time, but I have the ability to check in on pets during the day if needed. Weekday mornings are usually a little busy for me. While I cannot currently offer housing for pets in my home, partly due to a cat diva, I can promise to be respectful of any home I enter.
“Connelly was very responsive and sent multiple updates. She was quick to accommodate her schedule last minute to come and see Zola and I greatly appreciate that and highly recommend her for her services!”
“Great communication & service. I was in a terrible predicament &;Heather was great & alleviated a lot of stress. My dog is a great judge of character & he took to Heather immediately. Highly recommend”
About: I have 10+ years of experience with walking dogs, and years of experience in feeding, training, playing, and caring for both dogs and cats. My entire life I have always been drawn to animals, and am a huge animal lover! In my early teen years, I worked at a dog daycare where I oversaw the care of up to 14 dogs at one time. It was a huge responsibility, but I looked forward to going to work each shift I had because to me it didn’t even feel like work, it felt like a reward getting to care and play with so many animals. Whenever I go anywhere whether it’s a walk around my college campus, a family or friends house, or the park, I am always immediately drawn to all the dogs I see and always ask if I can take a minute to pet each dog. A multitude of family and friends have consistently told me that it’s evident how much I love animals, and how well I get along with them. I am someone you can trust to make sure your pet gets the best possible care when you are gone. As a former cat owner and current dog owner myself, I know just how much love and care pets need on a day to day basis. Whenever I am away from my dog who is my bestfriend in the whole world, I definitely can feel anxious or stressed. I am dedicated to keeping pet parents up to date on the wellbeing of your pets with photos, videos, up to date messages and anything else you’d like as a pet parent (I am happy to do facetime calls too!!). I will always be available and reachable when I am with your pet to answer any questions, concerns, or even just send over some extra photos if you are really missing your furry companion! Additionally, your pets wellbeing and safety is my top priority. I have worked hard to familiarize myself with signs of distress and discomfort in animals, and if anything doesn’t look right I will not hesitate to jump into action to make sure your pet is safe. My dog has had a few scary incidents, and as difficult as it was, it helped to prepare me to know the signs when something is not right and know what to do in case of an emergency. I decided to join rover because I wanted the opportunity to help take care and hangout with animals on a regular basis because it is truly something I absolutely love. I am hard working, enthusiastic, dedicated, and I will care for your pet as if it is my own. I hope you will consider entrusting me to care for such a valuable member of your family! • * Please note I require meet and greets with all potential pet clients BEFORE bookings!* * I have now graduated from the University of Delaware and am in the Albany area full time :) I am currently a part time marketing intern, so I have lots of extra time to care for your furry companion. I am very flexible, and when I am not at work or other commitments I have a very open schedule to care for your pet! Currently, I offer services within the clients home for walks or check ins with your pet. I am very flexible, and will work with you to get to know what routine works best for your pet. At this time due to a family members allergy, I am not able to offer boarding services in my home.
“Glenn and Diana’s care of my big dog has been such a weight off my shoulders. He has some special needs and they didn’t hesitate to help. Also so appreciative of the questions they ask and how much they care!”
About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 4 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.

Whether your pet needs overnight care, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I'll treat them as if they were my own. I'm happy to follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, administering oral medications if needed, and providing regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I've looked after pets with different personalities and energy levels. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, playtime, maintaining routines, providing plenty of affection, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they felt comfortable while their owners were away. I understand how important consistency and patience are when caring for animals, and I always strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure. Outside of pet sitting, I'm a pharmacy student, which has strengthened my attention to detail, responsibility, and ability to follow instructions carefully. I know how important it is to be reliable, communicate clearly, and respond promptly. If your pet has specific routines or special care instructions, you can trust that I'll follow them closely. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. My availability includes mornings, evenings, weekends, and many weekdays.

When caring for your pup in your home, I’ll stick closely to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I’ll follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and keep your home tidy while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve done overnight and day visits with dogs and cats for years and do multiple days during the week now for a family member. I work well with large and small dogs. I am available all days of the week and have a very flexible class schedule so can easily fit in a visit with your pup! I am available for overnights every night as well! I have babysat for people who have both fenced and non fenced yards so I can easily work with leash using dogs. I myself have much experience with stubborn and large dogs on leashes so can handle tough pups!
About: I have one senior pit mix who I currently take care of, and I have also pet sat for both dogs and cats for family/friends. I have lots of flexibility to take care of different animals. I am currently off of school, which means that I am available all day, every day to attend to your pets individual personalities and needs. I will meet with your dog for one-on-one playtime with toys and lots of cuddles. At least one or more walks with plenty of potty breaks and feeding if needed. I try my best to cater to the individual needs of your animal.

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.

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.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, both personally and professionally. As a lifelong dog mom, I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. Beyond daily walks and playtime, I have experience with administering medications, caring for senior pets, and keeping anxious pups calm and comfortable. My background as a registered nurse has made me attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented, which carries over into the way I care for animals. You can trust that your pet will not only be safe with me, but also loved, spoiled, and treated with the same patience and compassion I give my own dogs. I am currently working part time and have availability in my schedule to love and care for your pet. I have pets of my own and would love nothing more than to have clients who are comfortable knowing they will receive care that is above and beyond. I treat all pets like they are my own. I have a fenced in yard where your pet can run and play. I also have spare rooms if they need to be separated for any reason, safety being my main concern.
About: We have had dogs in the house since I was three years old and we were all responsible for caring for them. I’ve seen dogs through the puppy and training stage to the old age medication and care stage. My dogs were big Labradors, and I dog sat for many people with medium and small dogs at all stages of their lives. There’s not much your dog could throw at me that I wouldn’t handle with confidence and experience! I am currently attending an acting conservatory, the only days that that takes up my whole day are Thursdays and Friday's. Mondays and Tuesdays I’m free after 2, and Wednesdays I am free until 1! Weekends my schedule is wide open and I can work any time, and I am available every night of the week for overnights! With all the animals that have gone through my home growing up I know every pet is different. I follow the owners lead when it comes to how to care for them and never try to push my personal pet care habits on anyone. Everyone has a different relationship with their pet and I am here to respect and emulate that as best I can when you have to be away from your best friend! You and your pet are the boss!

“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.”
“Samantha and her partner Zachary took fabulous care of our two dogs for three days. They are both high energy young dogs, one 7 months and one 13 months old and we were worried that they were going to be a problem. They love each other, romping like crazy with each other indoors and out and Samantha and Zach had no problem dealing with them. When we went to pick them up, it was obvious that both dogs really liked their caregivers. What more can one hope for in someone taking care of their dogs? We will be using them again when we are back in the Albany area. Thank you, Samantha and Zachary! Clifford and Ann Wagner”
“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.”
“Lori was wonderful and so welcoming! Beau had a great stay with Lori and her pup, Rees :-). We received updates/photos while we were away and you could tell she treated Beau as one of her own. She even gave him a bath when he got muddy outside! Thanks again, Lori and Rees, for welcoming Beau!”
“Daniel is the absolute best! He watches our dog Rex while we are out of town and we feel so lucky to have found him. He is so great with communication and sends us pictures through the day! Last time we took Rex over, he was excited as soon as we got to the parking lot. Daniel is the best!”
“Chris was attentive to my dog's need and was easy to communicate with and was flexible to work with. My dog enjoyed his time under Chris' care. Would highly recommend”
“Great experience! My dog was very happy and well cared for. The service was friendly, professional, and attentive. I really appreciated how gently they treated my dog and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend them to other dog owners!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She helped us out when we were in a pinch and needed dog sitting for a weekend with only one days notice! We had never had Lucy boarded anywhere before and we were a bit nervous about the process, but it went so smoothly! She sent pictures to reassure my kiddos she was being well taken care of! I would definitely recommend her services and will be using her again for dog sitting in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Chelsea & Christopher! This was our dog’s first time boarding, and they took such great care of him. They were very caring, and we really appreciated the regular photo updates. They also made sure he got plenty of playtime and socialization with other dogs, which was especially great for our high energy puppy. When he was anxious at night, they were incredibly patient and comforting, even taking turns sleeping next to him so he wouldn’t feel alone. We really appreciated the extra care and attention they gave him. We’re so grateful for how well they cared for him and would definitely recommend them to other pet parents!”
“Cache is absolutely amazing with our nervous boy, we appreciate all that she does for him while he’s there with her! He loves all the fruit he gets to snack on especially!”
“Nova had the best time! I can’t thank you guys enough for taking such good care of our girl 🙏🏾 If you are looking for a dog sitter who is super caring and knowledgeable, Sheronda is the one!”
About: Hello! I am 32 and a lifelong dog & cat mom. I currently have 1 big dog and 3 cats. I have been dog sitting for friends, family, and clients for as many years as I can remember. I’ve been an animal lover since I was old enough to know what an animal is. I’m comfortable walking large and reactive dogs, administering meds, cleaning litter boxes, and any other services you may need. Feel free to send a message to see if I would be a good fit for your fur family I work on weekdays from 8-4 pm, so I have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to give your furry friend loads of attention and exercise. I love going on walks and stay pretty active as well as wake up early, so I’m able to walk your dogs as far as they like to go. I walk dogs at my side, and not in front of or behind me to avoid any dangerous or reactive situation that could come up, and I of course make lots of pit stops for sniffing around and photo opps
“I had to find a last minute sitter for my 2 dogs and was truly panicking because I usually interview any potential sitters. I found this lovely couple on Rover and they were responsive, very empathetic and reassuring. I was sent updates and pictures and I can highly recommend them to care for your animal. Will be utilizing them in the future.”
“Kevinh was fantastic! He gave adequate updates on Zula and sent lots of cute pictures. Drop off and pick up was a breeze and he responds to messages quickly. He’s also very flexible if you have travel delays. I could tell that Zula was very comfortable around him. I would highly recommend.”

About: Hello everyone, I am Victoria! I’ve been caring for animals since childhood as I grew up on a decent amount of acreage with a constant rotation of three German shepherds, cats, parrots, small animals, and chickens; all of my dogs have passed and I’ve gotten high marks in their training sessions, so if you're working on something important with your dog; let me know! I am also versed in caring for other critters as well, no matter the species, and can administer medicine or a special diet for your pet. I look forward to working with you! Time management is my best friend and my energy level has made for very easy scheduling of my pets needs. Playtime is just as important as potty time and I will ensure that your pet gets both! My eyes will always be on your loved ones. As a multiple animal owner, I have had cats with strict diets, high energy dogs, and also puppies that tried relentlessly to get into things; all of which were avoided by giving love and praise, paying close attention to their environment, and setting them up for success. I have a keen eye for detail and I would never let anything happen to your animals (I would treat them as my own & protect them of course)!
“Kyle was great with our pup! I am sure that Buddy enjoyed his stay and having such a a nice yard to play in. Kyle was quick to follow up on any questions and kept us updated during our trip.”
