“Kevinh was a phenomenal dog sitter. He was available last minute to watch our small dog. He took Kona on several long walks, send many pictures and regular updates. Great communication. Kona was extremely comfy and cared for ! I would 100% recommend Kevinh!”
“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”
“Tiffany was absolutely stellar. From the moment we met her all the way to drop off, she made us feel completely at ease and answered any and all questions. Great communication - she sent pictures and videos of the dogs while we were away. This was our first time leaving the pups with someone and I would not hesitate to leave them with her again!! Highly recommend!”
“Gillian made us feel so comfortable after the meet and great! She treated our puppy like one of her own and we really enjoyed the picture updates showing us that Loki was having a blast!”
“I’m very satisfied with Kathleen's service. She cared for my puppy excellently. This was my first experience, and I am glad my Simba found a caring home while I’m away. I travel for work and feel confident I can rely on her in the future. Thank you! Roya Ross”
“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”
“Maggie is awesome. She took good care of my dog when we were out of town for the weekend. She sent photos and videos everyday, and also followed feeding/walking instructions. Our boy had a great time with her! We would definitely come back to her again if needed.”
“Jack did a great job taking care of our dog during our week long vacation. He kept us updated by sending pictures and videos. He picked up and dropped off our dog which was very convenient. He also administered his medication. We highly recommend Jack.”
“My dog is very shy and takes a while to “warm” up to someone new. Dan was kind and very understanding. My dog has stayed with him two times. We would recommend Dan to anyone who would like a dog sitter!!”
“Kyle has care for my pup overnight, for anything from 1 night to 9 nights. She is amazing. My dog clearly loves her and is very comfortable each time I bring him. Kyle is extra communicative and shows my dog love in ways that go above and beyond. My pup and I find Kyle to be very trustworthy and safe. We really appreciate her.”
“Pam did a great job with my dog who has never been comfortable with other dogs. I’m very glad that Pam not only took care of my anti-social dog (got her during COVID) while I was away, but also helped her learn social skills with other dogs!”
“Anna took great care of Pizza! We’re so glad he was in good hands! She was always quick to respond, gave us lots of great pupdates and helped accommodate us with an additional day (because I accidentally booked the wrong day! Ah!). Would highly recommend to others looking for short or longer term pet sitting. Thanks, Anna!”
“Christopher and Chelsea were great as always. Our dog is always sad when she comes home because she has more fun there. They were super accommodating with our pick up times and provided lots of pictures and updates. They are the best.”

“Amy was awesome! She took great care of my pets and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”

“Scott was fantastic while taking care of our cats for the weekend. He clearly has lots of experience with cats and animals of all kinds. Scott made sure to ask good questions regarding their care needs which made me feel very comfortable having him watch our cats while we were gone. I will certainly be having Scott watch them again!”
“We are so thankful we found Alyssa! She is just amazing with our animals. She is extremely thorough with details of caring for them. She truly went above and beyond and was very responsible. We were so at ease while we were away knowing our animals were in such good hands and would highly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Lydia. Her calm energy is exactly what my dogs need. My lively dogs are happy and tired after her walks and drop-ins. What I appreciate most about my interaction with Lydia is her communication. She is proactive and thoughtful in the way she communicates. She asks for clarification and she anticipates any possible needs that may come up. It was great to see photos and get her updates when she spent time with the dogs. I feel confident she will carry out whatever we discuss. She is also reliable and timely. I would definitely call on her again!”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from tiny 4-week-old kittens to 11-year-old seniors. This has taught me how to adjust my care to each cat’s needs and personality! Whether they’re playful and curious or prefer a quiet, cozy corner. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on keeping your cat safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”
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.
“Glenn and Diana were the best sitters ever! We have a very hyper, young lab who does not like to be left alone. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before and Glenn and Diana provided us with not only did they provide excellent pet care, but they were extremely flexible with several last minute schedule changes. They also helped us navigate the Rover app to help correct errors on our part as well as giving our dog some short training sessions with sit, down, and stay while they were spending time with her. Glenn and Diana played a lot of fetch with the dog and gave our cat tons of attention too. Great sitters who really put us at ease! We highly recommend them and Rover!”
“Petra is amazing! She is a Savior when I’m away! I can’t thank her enough for everything. She takes care of my dogs like they’re her own. She found ticks on my pups and removed them. Sent me pictures of everything. She plays with my dogs, cleans my cavaliers eyes, and even alerts me of anything going on with my chickens. I’m so grateful to find her!”
About: My name is Kylie and I’ve always had such a strong passion for animals. I’m currently in school to be a licensed veterinary technician. While I pursue this, I also work full time in an animal emergency clinic. I have had 2+ years of animal emergency experience, including large dogs and cats, and even reptiles like snakes!

I’ve owned large dogs my whole life including a Cane Corso & Giant Schnauzer!

“We were so worried about leaving our new rescue alone for more than 5 hours and then we went to rover and I found Madeline 10/10 she is so caring and loving to the dogs it clearly comes natural to her she followed everything down to the last detail perfectly. Our dog used to bark for hours when we left … after she is with her my dog seems so content and happy. 1000% recommend!!!”

“Exceptional people! They are extremely responsive and were very welcoming. We set up a meet and greet to make sure Sheba would get along with Bear which made me feel comfortable that I was leaving Sheba in good, capable hands. I get several updates throughout the day which is awesome and they are very flexible with times. 10/10 would recommend to a friend or anyone that needs doggy daycare. Thanks for being awesome guys!”
“Gillian and Mitch and their four pups are absolutely amazing. They were so welcoming of Biscuit, who fit right in with the pack and had a blast. Came home completely tired and ready for dinner and sleep! Gillian kept me posted if his activities throughout the day. We will definitely go back to her.”
“Brad and Mery were wonderful, and took great care of our dog Maisie. I loved getting pictures and updates daily- it made me feel much better being away! I highly recommend, and hope to use them again in the future!”
“We booked Anna last minute because we were taking a road trip out of town. Anna was so responsive and kept us up to date with pictures. Her family was all very nice and welcoming with us and our puppy lucky. Everything was so great but what I think sets Anna apart is her willingness to go above and beyond! We got printed photos of lucky’s time during his stay with Anna and a report card of how lucky did! Anna was really great and we can’t wait to use her again soon!”
“David was able to book us within a few days notice and was very friendly and took great care of our dog. he communicated frequently and was able to work with Benders first time being at day care which I really appreciated. Would absolutely book again!”
“Tate has loved the care and attention and exploring new things at the Clubhouse. Christopher and Chelsea have been absolutely fantastic and I’m so happy that Tate has a “second home” filled with love and activities to fill her days. Can’t wait to keep coming back regularly!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of individualized care and attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I truly get to know their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience training puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or mobility support. Whether your pup is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their unique temperament. I prioritize clear communication, regular photo updates, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine — I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
“I'm new to rover and was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone I had never met. As soon as I met Megan for a meet and greet that nervousness melted away. Megan and her dogs greeted us outside and I could tell right away she has a heart of gold. Her animals were happy, healthy and well cared for which also put my mind at ease. I even met her child who was very sweet and kind to my dog. Megan was very flexible and accommodating to my hectic work schedule. She sent me pictures throughout the day and I could see my dog was happy and having fun with his new people and cat and dog friends. This was a great first experience using rover and I have already booked another day with Megan this week. Highly recommend!”
“Jack has been great with my dog. she goes twice a week for daycare and she is always excited to get there and never wants to leave. Jack has been very flexible and professional!”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Been boarding and running daycare full time for 10+ years. I have studied dog behaviors, CPR trained, used to train and have spent my life learning dogs. Part of my business is even making pet products like bow ties, bandanas, toys, healthy treats, signs and organic paw wax. I run my boarding and daycare full time. It is what i live every day. I board 7 days a week and run daycare Tues-Fri We have a large dog specific room which daycare is run out of (while boarding your dog can join daycare for no extra cost) this room has a dog door that leads to the large fenced in yard. Once daycare is complete or dog dependent, the door comes open and the pups join our pack (2) snuggling on the couch and begging in the kitchen 😉
“Lauren was the ideal person and place to leave our pup while we day tripped saratoga. Lauren promptly kept us updated with pictures etc. and provided our pup with a safe and stimulating home away from home. Thanks Lauren!!!”
About: Raised a well trained border collie in high school and recently fostered a puppy that became a service dog through Dogs For Better Lives. We trained it for 14 months to prepare for service training. Typically the professional training takes 4-6 months but our boy graduated in 2.5. I love short, fun training sessions and consistency. I was a solo traveler living the vanlife but am back home helping my folks in Maryland. I love dogs but owning one would radically change my lifestyle. I’m hoping that through Rover I can still have some dog time on the road and take some good boys and girls for adventures outdoors. Primarily I like to do drop-in visit for walks and short training sessions. Once we build a rapport, I’d like to do hikes and overnight adventures.
“So happy to find such a great home for Sunny to visit while we’re gone — and only 11-minutes away. We could tell on our “meet & greet” visit that Sue and her pup & cat would get along well with ours. Sue send pix and a video today, and I could tell Sunny was very happy there. When I picked her up at the end of the day, it was obvious they were all happy together. Looking forward to many more visits and overnights!”
“Jasper has been with Alexis not even an hour and I have already gotten an update and a video!!! 5 stars already! I just picked our very tired happy pup. He had a great day playing with his new friend Nala. Alexis was amazing. We found our regular doggy sitter!!!”
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.
“Julia and Adam have been great taking care of our high energy Vizsla. They are very attentive and accommodating to her needs. Two very responsible and caring people. I would highly recommend them.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter, cared for my own dog Missy for 9 years, and worked part-time at Camp Bow Wow (located in Bound Brook, NJ). This background helps me create a safe, structured, and positive environment where your dog can relax, have fun, and feel well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule visits, walks, and drop-ins around my work hours, so your pet can get consistent attention and care.

About: Hello. I have been caring and involved in Dog rescue for many years. I’m a pet groomer and been in the animal field for over 25 years! My passion is animals and especially dogs. I love being around them and taking care of them. Much experience and passion. Will provide exceptional service while you are away for your fur baby. You can even get them groomed by me during the time I’m caring for your dog. You can be rest assured that your loved one will be well taken care of and safety is my top priority! Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby. Please contact me when you need a reliable experienced pet sitter. Thank you for reading this and hope you have a very nice day. I work from home so very easy to care for your pet. My schedule is up rather early and bedtime around 9pm. They have lots of potty breaks and walks. Your pet will never be off leash in my care! Always fresh water, food exercise and lots of love. Safety is my top priority! Never left alone for any long length of time.
“Our dog has special medical needs so we can’t trust just anyone with her care. Rachelle made us feel comfortable right away and our dog loved her. We will definitely be using her when I go back to work in the office.”
“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: 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've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and gained a lot of experience caring for my own family pets, then started pet sitting and working with horses as a teenager. After spending most of young adult life working with horses, I went back to college to get a degree that would allow me to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I worked in companion animal (dogs and cats) practice for a number of years before taking a "real" job that allowed me more time for my own pets. I've found I love my new job and schedule, but miss having as much animal interaction. I'd be delighted to provide care for your dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs (and other pocket pets) as well as horses and other large animals.
About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a pet in my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless animals through dog and cat sitting, and I’ve always felt a natural connection with them. One of the experiences I’m most proud of is helping reunite three lost dogs with their families. Animals have always been a part of who I am, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it has always felt like a calling. Starting September 4, I’ll have a flexible schedule and will be available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and dog or cat sitting throughout the day. This isn’t just a side hustle for me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had pets since I was a child, cared for many dogs and cats over the years, and have even helped reunite three lost dogs with their families. I truly enjoy earning an animal’s trust and giving pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in loving, dependable hands. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re my own, I’d love the opportunity to help! One of the biggest benefits I offer is caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, keeps their daily routine consistent, and allows them to feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care—just as if you were home. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best.
About: I work part time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. My fiancée and I currently have 4 cats but I grew up with dogs. I love dog sitting for friends and family. My previous dog was diabetic so I have given insulin and have with experience with senior dogs. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to play with your animals! Our cats love to cuddle and to go for walks in their stroller. I use automatic feeders for dry food and give them wet food once a day. I’ve pet sat where animals are free fed or prefer to be fed at a specific time.

“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”

“Kyle has care for my pup overnight, for anything from 1 night to 9 nights. She is amazing. My dog clearly loves her and is very comfortable each time I bring him. Kyle is extra communicative and shows my dog love in ways that go above and beyond. My pup and I find Kyle to be very trustworthy and safe. We really appreciate her.”
“Pam did a great job with my dog who has never been comfortable with other dogs. I’m very glad that Pam not only took care of my anti-social dog (got her during COVID) while I was away, but also helped her learn social skills with other dogs!”
“Anna took great care of Pizza! We’re so glad he was in good hands! She was always quick to respond, gave us lots of great pupdates and helped accommodate us with an additional day (because I accidentally booked the wrong day! Ah!). Would highly recommend to others looking for short or longer term pet sitting. Thanks, Anna!”
“Christopher and Chelsea were great as always. Our dog is always sad when she comes home because she has more fun there. They were super accommodating with our pick up times and provided lots of pictures and updates. They are the best.”
“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”
“Liberty was a bit anxious about being left for so long and Megan took great care and tried to help her feel comfortable, took her for walks and even got her some special treats. The daily pictures and updates helped us to be more comfortable too!”
“Jessica cared for my doggie Oliver while I was away for 3 weeks - such a long time! She took him on tons of walks and sent me lots of pictures of their outings. I knew he was in good hands and very happy. I hope Jessica is available to look after Oliver the next time I have to go out of town.”
“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!!!”
