“Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!”
“Sheronda and her family are awesome! They loved having another pug in the house. Elly loved having a pug friend and running with Molly as well as Chewy was great fun for her. We would highly recommend Sheronda as your next dog sitter.”
“Our dog was very happy with Jennifer. We are so happy to have found her. She's kind and gentle and she worked with us when we had unknowns about our needs because of a funeral we had to travel for. We were trying to book without full details of when and where we had to be. We feel very fortunate she was willing to be flexible. Our pup was happy that he was the only one she had with her during his stay. He got all of her love and attention. Thank you, Jennifer.”
“Omg, we’re so thankful for Geena! Story time, so our previous sitter was unavailable but the app said she was available (technology lol). So we were worried because we didn’t have a backup plan and we needed a sitter for my grandma’s funeral. Geena was so helpful with last minute arrangements and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our fur babies for the day. She responded to all my messages, questions and even sent pictures. We were able to attend the funeral with no worries and even booked her again for our vacation. I would definitely recommend using her and we will continue to book with her. Thank you again 💜🫶🏾💜”
“Christopher and his wife did a wonderful job watching my Australian Shepherd. I appreciate the daily updates with pictures. She was well loved and cared for. Would book again.”
“Brooke was an absolute lifesaver for our family when we got in a tough spot with a home move and we had absolutely no options for our large, elderly matriarch of a dog. I would enthusiasticaly recommend her to anyone. Our dog needed so much extra attention and we are really indebted Brooke and her family for helping us out.”
“Debbie was great! We left our 1st time boarder w/ her very last minute when our weekend getaway informed us they no longer allow dogs. I was SUPER anxious to leave her, especially w/ a "stranger", but Debbie sent me lots of updates & pictures to ease my mind. By the time we picked her up, her tail was wagging, her ears were up & she was visibly relaxed & happy. Debbie also has a great, fenced-in side yard for the pups to run around in. We will be trusting here again to watch Molly.”
“I was very nervous about leaving my sweet little Betty while I had to leave town for a week. She usually goes with family! But Richelle took care of her as if she were family. She kept me at ease with regular correspondence and photos. Thank you so much!”
“Brigid did a great job taking care of our senior dog for the first time. She was very communicative and sent us photos of various happenings during the days that Jessie was at her house. We appreciated knowing that all was well while we were away. Brigid was very conscientious in following through with all instructions for our dog’s care. We have already booked her for another time.”
“Ericca was quick to respond and helped us for doggy day care with 1 days notice. She was friendly and sent updates throughout the day on our dog. We’d love to use her again in the future!”
“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!”
“Jude was wonderful! Very caring and loving! Great backyard for our chocolate to run in! She sent updates and pics and videos daily which was great! I would give her 10 stars!”
“Samantha and her partner were absolutely amazing. They are the best sitters I have met by far. I 10000/10 recommend. Samantha updated me throughout my dog's stay. I will definitely rebook.”
About: I’m a certified dog trainer with 30 years of experience and have helped thousands of dogs—from puppies to seniors. Your dog will never go home with worse manners after staying with me! Every pup gets one-on-one attention, enrichment, and plenty of daily playtime. I’m home the majority of the week, which means your dog gets lots of company, cuddles, and care! I’m happy to board your sweet pup anytime you need me. I’ve got a fully fenced yard and a goofy young playmate who loves making new dog friends! Your pup will enjoy tons of zoomies, sniffing, and social fun. At night, everyone snoozes safely in their crates—but don’t worry, I’m always on “midnight potty duty” for puppies and seniors who need a quick outing!
“Catherine and her family were amazing. She responded to my request almost immediately after I posted for an overnight boarding need for the same day. This was Emma’s first time spending the night with a non-relative and did experience separation anxiety. Catherine was very patient with her and tried different ways to make her feel more comfortable. She took her for a long walk and refocused her energy using a kong filled with treats I provided. She made me aware of her anxiety after she was calm and sent me pictures to assure me she was okay. She also told me not to worry. Emma also had a hard time at bed time but eventually fell asleep on the couch. Emma did better the next day as she was feeling loved!”

“Celeste helped us out very last minute and it was all very smooth!!! Sent pictures and communicated well. We will definitely be using her again. Thank you for everything Celeste!”
“Stephanie was amazing. We met her once and knew she was the right choice. She was easily able to handle providing medication and special nutritional needs for our two older girls, as well as, keeping our younger guy busy with plenty of playtime. Steph sent plenty of pictures each day along with a detailed recap of each visit. When we were delayed 2 days getting home from our trip she was happy to extend our agreement to help us out of the jam. I would recommend to anyone needing care for their animals… as long as we don’t need her first!”

About: I’ve always had cats in my home and am very comfortable caring for them. I’m available to stop by for feedings, litter box cleaning, and to spend time giving them attention and companionship. I’m also happy to check in to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and doing well while you’re away.
About: I have extensive professional and personal experience caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. I am comfortable administering oral medications, as well as injections like insulin, and following special care instruction. One of my favorite parts of cat care is grooming. There's nothing i love more than a cat relaxing in arms while I brush them.
About: I have personal experience caring for cats. I grew up with a cat from the age of 15 and currently have one of my own. I’m familiar with their daily care, litter box cleaning, feeding routines, and the times when they tend to be more active and playful. I also understand that every cat has a different personality. I like to give them space and let them come to me when they’re ready for attention and affection 🩷
“Rachelle provided wonderful and loving care to our very shy cat actually making her so comfortable as to come out for some pets. I highly recommend her and hope to use her again in the future.”
“This was our first experience using Rover so I was a bit nervous. I contacted Julia and she came over for a meet and greet a few days ahead of time. She took excellent care of our two cats who are older and cranky at times. Julia was great! I loved getting the updates and pictures after each visit. That totally put my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to hire her again! Very happy customer!”
About: Cats have been a constant in my life, and over the years, I’ve become their trusted go-to for everything from breakfast bowls to comfort snuggles. My current two girls come to me for food, affection, and even the occasional complaint when they need to vent! I make sure they’re not just cared for—but genuinely pampered. It’s that attention to their moods, quirks, and routines that sets me apart. I truly believe every cat deserves a sitter who ‘speaks cat’ fluently.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born. I'm patient, attentive, and skilled at administering medications and handling special diets. The most important job is to protect all pets and making sure they get the love they deserve. Right now I am not employed so I am always free. I am currently looking for a job that is only during the week days so I can have weekends free. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, and medication if needed. For in-home visits, I respect the client’s space while ensuring their pet feels secure and cared for. I keep pets engaged with walks, playtime, and companionship, always giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Cleanliness, safety, and communication are my top priorities in any setting.
“I left Leona in charge of Romeo and my apartment while in Boston for major surgery. Leona was very responsible and took just as good of care of Romeo as well as my plants and living space as I would have. She provided peace of mind which I’m grateful for. Romeo looks forward to seeing her again!”
“Kania is always so responsive and flexible for our drop ins, accommodating changes to our plan and being communicative at all times! I always feel at ease leaving Lux in her care knowing that Lux is happy and taken care of, and love receiving videos and pictures when im away!”

“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!”
“Devin was super cool and caring. He made me very comfortable by taking care of my 14 month old high energy German Shepherd. He was always available for a call or text and kept me informed about my pups activities during the day care. Will definitely use again, he has the love towards pets, also has a great fenced yard and good facilities to get the energy out from the pups. I am happy and pleased to have used his services.”
“Kania worked great with the new puppy of mine. Wattsin returned further developed each time for the few days of care he was consecutively dropped off for, along with excitement to see her and the family for each play date following. It was a pleasure working with not only caregivers as such, but genuine people... and doggies. Highly recommend! Could not thank them enough.”

“Davis was a wonderful sitter for our pup, Beau. We left Beau with Davis, her partner, and her pups for a few hours while we went to a museum and Beau seemed perfectly content when we picked him up. Thanks, Davis!”
“Kenia is kind, flexible and communicative. The second day I brought my anxious rescue poodle to her, she sprinted up the steps and could NOT wait to get inside!

Will definitely use Kenia again if I’m in the area, and highly recommend anyone in need use her too!!”

My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times My schedule is currently wide open following the end of the swim season, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care throughout the week and weekends.

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.

I've worked at kennels from a young age and have had my own share of birds, mice, fish, hamsters, Guinea pigs, and chinchillas as well as dogs and cats. The home has only been without pets for around 7 months now and I would love to dedicate some of my time to people who need genuine love and care for their fur babies! I do not have a job, I am around all of the time! I can be there any time day or night! You name it. I do not have a fenced in yard, however all of the neighborhood doggies are very very friendly. I have a decent sized yard and live next to multiple fields and grassy areas.
About: I have over 8 years of professional pet care experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets needing medication. I provide reliable, loving care with regular updates. I have a fenced in backyard and live in a house. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I have the flexibility to give pets my full attention throughout the day. In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets are treated like family. I give them the freedom to explore, play, and relax, and I always tailor their care to match their unique needs and routine. Whether it’s scheduled feedings, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or cuddle sessions, I make sure each pet feels right at home.
About: Aside from growing up with dogs and cats since birth, I have 5 years of experience dog walking and sitting on another platform in different cities throughout the country! I specialize in high energy dogs, fast walkers, and dogs that pull. In addition, I am skilled in using different harnesses and handling dogs at any size. What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is my punctuality, a perfect star rating in past dog walking/sitting services, and being regarded as “Extra Caring” from those same dogs’ pet parents. I promise to exercise that same care in ensuring your dog is safe, happy, and content with my company so you won’t have to worry. I can’t wait to meet and spend time with your furry family! I’m currently in between training for my full time job and am available for sitting or walking your pet 7 days a week until 4/24! I have the time to devote my full attention to your pet while you’re away and can provide any necessary feedings, medication, etc whenever you can’t.

About: I’m a certified dog trainer with 30 years of experience and have helped thousands of dogs—from puppies to seniors. Your dog will never go home with worse manners after staying with me! Every pup gets one-on-one attention, enrichment, and plenty of daily playtime. I’m home the majority of the week, which means your dog gets lots of company, cuddles, and care! I’m happy to board your sweet pup anytime you need me. I’ve got a fully fenced yard and a goofy young playmate who loves making new dog friends! Your pup will enjoy tons of zoomies, sniffing, and social fun. At night, everyone snoozes safely in their crates—but don’t worry, I’m always on “midnight potty duty” for puppies and seniors who need a quick outing!

“Amanda is the best dog-sitter ever and Woodrow had a fantastic time with her!!!! Amanda was very transparent, kept in constant contact and sent plenty of pics of Woodrow on hikes, walks, sleeping, sun bathing and playing. I can leave Woodrow without any concerns at all. I would definitely recommend Amanda and leave Woodrow with her again for future trips! Thank you so much for taking care of my boy and allowing me to have a worry-free vacation. 🫶🏼”
“Our dog Lilly had a wonderful time with Maegan! She was attentive, communicative, and made sure to keep us updated with photos of Lilly enjoying herself and playing with the other dogs. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Lilly was in such good hands. We’ll definitely be back!”
About: Reliable and responsible cat and dog lover, I've been fostering dogs for over a year and have successfully placed 9 foster dogs. I've also helped take care of friend's and family's pets my whole life and I take dog training seriously. My pet care schedule is fairly flexible at the moment due to recent life changes. Please reach out with your questions and pet care needs! I have a livestock fence for supervised zoomies with fence-respecting dogs. My dog, Licorice, is playful and well-socialized, 2 dog-savvy cats and I often have a foster dog or 2 living with me.
“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!!!”
