“Bob was awesome! I love the fact that my dogs stay in his home and are allowed on the couch as well as walked multiple times / day. Bob and his wife Deb are so accommodating and really take good care of the dogs. He also sent pictures of my girls and responded promptly when I texted. I will definitely use him again!”
“George loved his time at Sarah & Aaron’s! They are the sweetest family! George was so happy to stay with them, and would 100% love to go visit again! He was extremely well taken care of! We got pictures and updates the entire time. Would recommend to everyone!!!!! They’re the best! ❤️”
“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!”
“My nala girl had the BEST time! Lauren provided pictures daily and updated me everyday about her. When I picked her up she was happy, tired, and clearly had a lot of fun playing on Lauren’s ranch. I had a bit of a flight delay and Lauren was super understanding of my being a little late to pick her up so that’s also a huge plus for me. I will certainly be booking my nala girls ‘vacations’ with Lauren again!”
“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.”
“Amanda was great with our dogs. She listened carefully to each of their needs and made sure to accommodate particular requests. Amanda was prompt in getting back to us anytime we reached out and sent us occasional photos of the dogs playing or resting. She has a lovely home and large fenced-in backyard where the dogs could run free and get plenty of exercise. We felt at ease knowing our precious pups were kept safe and warm while we were away!”
“Saskia watched our two dogs at her home, and we had a great experience! They were both very well taken care of, and Saskia sent us several photos throughout their stay, which we really appreciated. Our dogs seemed to have a great time and got along really well with her dogs. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Saskia again!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Nicole and Bowie! She has a great setup and lots of room for dogs to run around and have fun. Bowie is a big sweetheart and a great host as well. Birdie did not want to leave! We will definitely be returning whenever we need a trusted dog sitter. Thank You!”
“Can't say enough about these wonderful people who welcomed our fur-baby into their home. Bernie instantly took to Kirsten and her very host savvy pups. So fortunate to have found them and so close to where we live. Kirsten kept me up to date on Bernie's activities and sent photos of our very happy pup. He had a blast running in their fenced in yard and there were comfy places to get some rest. Bernie is excited to head back to Camp K in May and spend a week with his new buddies!! We are comforted knowing he will be so loved and cared for. We highly recommend Kirsten and Mark!”
“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.”
“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”
“It wonderful to board Olaf with Stephanie!! She was very quick to reply to inquiries and really made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. We had an overnight visit for a test run, preparing for a longer trip coming up. It went very well!!! She sent several pics and updates so I could see how Olaf was doing, and it was very reassuring. It was clear when I picked him up how comfortable and happy he was with Stephanie. I am very thankful to have found her and have already booked Olaf's next stay!!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Thank you very much to Stephanie and her family for taking good care of Ozzy and for keeping us updated with photos during his stay. He has come back to us happy and healthy!”
“Daisy’s stay with Jane was the best! Daisy was happy and at ease with Jane which is all we could ask for — and we got incredible photos the whole stay so we could see how she was doing and not miss her too much. We will absolutely be using Jane for all future dog sitting needs and highly recommend her to anyone else!!”

“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!”
“Rachel was a super star and swooped in at the last minute to help take care of Lady and Cedric. The kitties clearly love her and she’s been a pleasure to work with. We’d love to book Rachel again!”

About: Hello, I'm Amy a passionate animal lover with over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes. I've had pets all my life and love taking care of them🐾. I will walk, pet and give plenty belly rubs as needed. My schedule is pretty flexible. 🗓️ Ask me and I can accommodate. I am free most mornings and evenings. Let me know if you need any adjustments. ✅ I offer overnight boarding and allow pets to sleep in the bed, on the couch or a crate. (You tell me how you want sleep!)💤
“Edgardo is so nice, pleasant and communicative. He did a great job watching our two cats while we were away. Our one cat, who is notoriously fussy about cat sitters and often just hides under the bed, even came out for him! Would definitely recommend and hire him again.”
“Janice has been our go-to sitter for our 2 kitties for a few years now. She and Sidney are caring, consistent, and wonderful communicators. It is such a relief to know that our cats are in good hands with someone we can trust in our home while we are away.”
“Kasey was great! Would leave my girls anytime with her. She kept in contact with us. I definitely will use her services in the future. I felt confident leaving them with her before I left, we communicated quite a bit before our trip. My dogs were happy to see us when we got home, but I can tell they were happy and well cared for when I was not here....Amy Rickard”
“I needed a last minute drop in for my puppy, and I’m so happy I found Nicole! She and her daughter clearly love dogs and animals, and they were great with our dog Ollie. We will absolutely reach out again if we need a pet sitter!”
About: I have always had a special connection with dogs. I grew up with dogs and treated them like part of the family.

“Bob has been the best dog sitter we've ever worked with. He's very friendly and loves dogs. He gives frequent updates and is very responsive. Also the first time we dropped Walter off he sat me down and took me through a typical day of day care and if I had any questions/if Walter had any dietary restriction. We now drop Walter off on a regular basis without a worry in mind that he's going to have an excellent visit! Thanks to Bob for being so great! ”
About: I'll provide constant supervision of your pet. I enjoy interacting with animals. Although I am not a professional dog handler I have had a dog in the house for the past 12 years. I will do my best to provide competent care for your pet. I am currently retired from the Columbia County jail, after completing 23 years. I am a Navy veteran. My wife and I have twin boys who are all grown up and out of the house. As a result of this I have become a little bored. I would appreciate your consideration when deciding on who to entrust the care of your pet while you are away. You will be able to be rest assured that they are being taken care of. I am usually available all the time except for the occasional vacation I might go on. Weekends are no problem either. I am pretty much available year round. I like to hang out with my dog all day. Adding more animals to the mix is no problem. I like taking walks with them and I also have a fenced yard.
“Jane is wonderful! She went out of her way to help us when we had some issues with the app and with scheduling. She was clear and kind with our dog who can sometimes be a little anxious. Our pup felt right at home as soon as she walked into Jane’s house and was happily exhausted by the end of the day. Thank you, Jane! We will be back soon!”
“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: My own dogs are always the #1 teacher. They show me how to best care for them - with food, play, training, medications, travel, sleepless days and nights when they've been ill, and giving them all them comfort I can. I've volunteered at dog shelters, spent hours walking dogs in all kinds of weather, and offered comfort to friends who've had to say goodbye to their best fur friends. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention - playing, feeding, and scratching behind the ears. I take my dog for swims in the river, off leash romps in the woods, and leashed walks around town. We also play fetch and tug-of-war in the house or on the deck. If your dog needs a playmate, my dog, Jackson, may be a good fit. My cats - depending on their mood - like to lounge in the sun, pounce on the occasional toy, run up stairs, and hunt for treats I've hidden for them.
About: I absolutely love animals. I have been helping friends and neighbors with watching their pets for years. I currently have two dogs myself, one with complicated medical needs. I am confident I would be able to care for your pets no matter their age. I currently work from home 2-3 days per week and am available most weekends. Our two Poms love to play and cuddle with us on the couch. Your pets would be welcome to join us on the couch. I have a fenced in backyard. I live in a dead-end street near the rail trail so walks are a breeze and do not have me near any main roads. I do have two Pomeranians to keep your pets company while with us. Both of my dogs are fixed and friendly.
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.
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”

“My nala girl had the BEST time! Lauren provided pictures daily and updated me everyday about her. When I picked her up she was happy, tired, and clearly had a lot of fun playing on Lauren’s ranch. I had a bit of a flight delay and Lauren was super understanding of my being a little late to pick her up so that’s also a huge plus for me. I will certainly be booking my nala girls ‘vacations’ with Lauren again!”
“Amanda was great with our dogs. She listened carefully to each of their needs and made sure to accommodate particular requests. Amanda was prompt in getting back to us anytime we reached out and sent us occasional photos of the dogs playing or resting. She has a lovely home and large fenced-in backyard where the dogs could run free and get plenty of exercise. We felt at ease knowing our precious pups were kept safe and warm while we were away!”
“Saskia watched our two dogs at her home, and we had a great experience! They were both very well taken care of, and Saskia sent us several photos throughout their stay, which we really appreciated. Our dogs seemed to have a great time and got along really well with her dogs. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We will definitely be booking with Saskia again!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Nicole and Bowie! She has a great setup and lots of room for dogs to run around and have fun. Bowie is a big sweetheart and a great host as well. Birdie did not want to leave! We will definitely be returning whenever we need a trusted dog sitter. Thank You!”
“Can't say enough about these wonderful people who welcomed our fur-baby into their home. Bernie instantly took to Kirsten and her very host savvy pups. So fortunate to have found them and so close to where we live. Kirsten kept me up to date on Bernie's activities and sent photos of our very happy pup. He had a blast running in their fenced in yard and there were comfy places to get some rest. Bernie is excited to head back to Camp K in May and spend a week with his new buddies!! We are comforted knowing he will be so loved and cared for. We highly recommend Kirsten and Mark!”
“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.”
“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”
“It wonderful to board Olaf with Stephanie!! She was very quick to reply to inquiries and really made me feel comfortable leaving my pup in her care. We had an overnight visit for a test run, preparing for a longer trip coming up. It went very well!!! She sent several pics and updates so I could see how Olaf was doing, and it was very reassuring. It was clear when I picked him up how comfortable and happy he was with Stephanie. I am very thankful to have found her and have already booked Olaf's next stay!!”
“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!!”
“Thank you very much to Stephanie and her family for taking good care of Ozzy and for keeping us updated with photos during his stay. He has come back to us happy and healthy!”
“Daisy’s stay with Jane was the best! Daisy was happy and at ease with Jane which is all we could ask for — and we got incredible photos the whole stay so we could see how she was doing and not miss her too much. We will absolutely be using Jane for all future dog sitting needs and highly recommend her to anyone else!!”
“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.”
