“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I once again couldn't be happier that I found Mark & Sylva to watch my boys Buddy & Connor. This is the 2nd time they've watched my boys and once again I'm deeply appreciative of the attention and care they give my babies. The pictures and daily updates eased my worries about being gone. I would recommend them to watch your fur babies over and over again.”
“This is the second time we entrust Penny to Christopher and his lovely wife, and they continue to provide wonderful care for my elderly pup, all while sending me pics and videos of her, which is always wonderful. Penny requires attentive care with meds and some ear cleaning, and Christopher did both. They are great dog sitters!”
“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 💜🫶🏾💜”
“Debbie was patient, kind, and flexible in every aspect. I would highly recommend her and I plan on requesting her boarding services the next time I need them. Thank you so much Deb!”
“I can't say enough good things about Richelle! Summer, my pup loves her and was very comfortable with Richelle. I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. It is very clear that Richelle truly loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable and happy. I came home to a relaxed and well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“We’ve been trying to find a great sitter for our dogs for a while. We finally found one!! Catherine and her family were the absolute best! One of the highlights of our vacation was the daily update (with pictures) from Catherine. Our dogs had a wonderful getaway at her house! Catherine, we cannot thank you and your family enough!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“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. 🫶🏼”
“Phelan took great care of Sadie and made her feel right at home! She's a great communicator and she sent us lots of updates and pictures of Sadie. We look forward to bringing Sadie over again!”
“Kimberly was fantastic! Mocha had such a fun weekend with her and Kimberly sent me lots of photo updates. She was also very flexible with changes in my travel plans which was greatly appreciated.”
“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.”
About: Hi, I’m Jennifer! I offer a safe, loving “home away from home” where your dog is treated like family. I work full-time at my regular job Monday through Friday and am available on rover Saturdays and Sundays. I accept drop-ins, boarding and dog walking. For boarding your pup will have constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention. I have 2 dogs Milo & Ori. Both are 9 years old and are shy and protective so for your pups safety (if boarding) dogs will be separated. Our days include fun backyard playtime, neighborhood walks, and cozy evening couch cuddles. I strictly follow your pet's feeding and medicine schedules to keep their routine normal. You will receive daily photo updates so you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind. I work full time Monday through Friday at my regular job and am usually available after 5pm so I can stop by for drop in visits or a 30min - 1 hr walk during the week. I am also available to care for your pet all day/overnight on Saturdays and Sundays. I have a medium/large fenced back yard where your dog can roam and sniff around for potty breaks. I live right by the Mohawk-Hudson trail where I can take your pup for long and beautiful nature walks. I also allow dogs on my couch where they can relax.
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!
“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 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”
“Tenzin was amazing! She took great care of my nigh energy puppy and was super communicative throughout the stay. I really appreciated her help. My puppy came home relax, tired, and happy. Thanks Tenzin!!”

“Christina was awesome, she was very reliable and took very good care of our cat, feeding and litter. She sent pictures each visit and tried each time to engage our cat, who unfortunately stubbornly decided to stay under a bed while she was there. We would definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“Linda did a great job taking care of our cats. She communicated the throughout the time with updates and pics. Kitties were happy and seemed well cared for. Would definitely be happy to have Linda next time we have to be away!! Thanks Linda.”
About: I am a certified cat lover and am I’m no stranger to caring for playful kittens to senior and geriatric cats, with personalities ranging from shy and cautious to outgoing and full of energy. I’ve learned how to understand and adapt to each cat’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’ve also frequently cat-sat for friends, family, and others, including cats who need extra attention or specialized care. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs cats, administering medications, following specific feeding or care routines, and giving extra patience and attention when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. I’m happy to send photos and videos throughout my visits and can even FaceTime so you can check in on your kitty while you’re away!
“Anna was awesome!! I really appreciated her updates and communication. She left the house in great shape. Most importantly, my cat Azi clearly adored her, and I could travel knowing he was safe and happy. Will definitely hire again :)”
“Kimberly is AMAZING! I can’t recommend her highly enough! I had to go out of town for a week, and she came by my house twice a day to take care of my kitties. She sent so many videos and pictures, it really made me feel at ease. I was nervous about the process, and I feel so lucky that I found her. She not only took care of my kitties in regards to feeding them and cleaning the litter box, she played with them and gave them attention and love. She also adjusted my thermostat for me and even swept up a mess my cats made when they decided to have a wild night alone. It is such a blessing and relief to have someone come into my home for a week while I was gone and know that everything in my home was safe and my two love bugs were completely cared for. I will definitely book her again, and can say that anyone would be lucky to have her take care of their furry family members. Kimberly, THANK YOU! You are a gem! You are so appreciated!”
“Larissa was super professional and communicative throughout her visits with Azi. I really appreciated her photos and detailed reports from each visit. She was a joy to work with and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Nicole was great! She made sure my cat was well cared for and loved while I was away, and was very respectful of being in someone else’s home. She was friendly and quick to respond to messages with me. Definitely recommend. Thank you Nicole!”
About: Having grown up with cats and dogs, I recently spent a couple of years on a horse farm caring for horses, cows, chickens, large dogs, and barn cats. From feeding and bathing to administering medicine, I've spent years with animals. I love meeting new pets and learning about them. I look forward to making memories with these new pets and hopefully making pet parents’ day a little easier. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only have 3 classes from 10-12:30 making my schedule pretty open on weekdays. On weekends I host kids birthday parties which are usually only 2 hours and from 12-2 or 2-4 other than that I am free. When it comes to drop in visits I like to follow strictly to pet parents instructions to make sure all expectations are being met with no risk of harm to pets or property.
“Our first experience with Leah has been great! She took perfect care of our 4cats. Leah is a great communicator and took good initiative when things arose that we hadn’t been able to discuss in advance. We’ll definitely feel our cats are in excellent hands when we have the opportunity to have her here again!”
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.
“Larry was super patient with our shy (and sometimes mean) kitty! We appreciate that he always made sure to find her and make sure she was safe even when she hid in the oddest spots.”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've cared for many happy, healthy cats over the years, each with their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers quiet companionship, I'll provide attentive, stress-free care while respecting their individual needs. You can count on regular updates and plenty of love while you're away. (The picture above was from a rescue when I volunteered at HEART Animal Rescue in Hamburg NY)
“Rachel is a very friendly and lovely person to cat sit our babies. Rachel followed every instruction and let me know when she arrived and left. She even offered to feed stray cats for us while she visited after I asked. Very communicative and responsive and would recommend Rachel for anyone if you need a pet sitter. Thank you Rachel!”
“Fed and cleaned the litter for our cat while we were away for Christmas. Even got him to come out and play, despite how much of a scaredy-cat he usually is! Really thankful he was around for the holidays and would definitely recommend him for anyone with a cat (even a scaredy one) :)”
“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!”
“Xena had a great time at doggy daycare with Kimberly. I’d highly recommend her. She kept in contact all day and sent photos and videos. Which is what any crazy dog mom needs! ??”
“MaryEllen was all I could have asked for and more to watch my little girl Nala! She was kind, easy to work with, responsive, and thoughtful! She went above and beyond to make Nala feel at home and welcome! I will absolutely ask her to watch Nala again!”
“Our Hoagie had a great time with Monique and Ace. The dogs got alot of playtime and Hoagie got his snuggles from Monique. Great furbaby sitter and she sent pictures of there time together. Will be back for more playdates for sure.”
About: 🐾🏡 About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner, trainer, and former kennel manager with experience caring for all breeds, ages, and personalities. My home is active and structured, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and enrichment. I currently share my home with Border Collies, Labradors, and a few mixed breeds, and we’re active in dog sports like frisbee, obedience, and dock diving. Whether your dog is social or needs their own space, I can accommodate them — as long as they are people-friendly. I strive to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you have peace of mind. 🐶 What Your Dog Can Expect Safe, structured, and enriching days: Morning play/walks, breakfast, digest & rest breaks, afternoon activities, and evening wind-down. Large fenced backyard + indoor play area for all weather. Crate-based routine for meals, rest, and overnight for safety and comfort. Daily updates: Photos, videos, and notes so you stay connected. Personalized attention based on your dog’s personality, energy, and needs. 📍 Convenient Location Just 3 miles from Albany Airport Near I-87, I-90, and I-88 — perfect for travelers ✅ What I Provide Expansive fenced yard & indoor play space Wide collection of dog equipment (bring only collar, leash, and food) Experience with puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and multiple breeds Knowledge of breed-specific needs, safety, and bloat prevention 📌 What I Need From You Vaccinations required: Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella Crate-trained dogs only What to bring: Collar, leash, and food (please no beds) Daycare: All daycare dogs require to ha e a m&g and a trial day before being able to book freely. Drop-Ins/House Sitting: Meet & Greet required. Keyless entries only, will not keep keys. 🗓 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Morning: 6:00–7:30 AM Evening: 6:00–7:30 PM No Saturday evenings or holiday exchanges Please specify a time to avoid overlap — residential area, so we keep things calm for neighbors and dogs 💬 Meet & Greets Recommended for all new clients Please schedule at least 2 weeks prior to your stay 📅 Routine & Peak Season Peak Season: May 1 – September 30 Structured routine: multiple outdoor sessions, playtime, meals with digestion breaks, rest periods — no free-for-all boarding ✨ Why Choose Me? I live and breathe dogs — training, sports, and overall enjoyment are my passion. Your pup will get safe, structured care, plenty of exercise, and personal attention while you get peace of mind and daily updates. We keep a very rigid structured routine. Our day starts between 6-7am, with initial let outs--group play if appropriate to get that morning energy out. Then we settle in for breakfast time, all dogs rest 30 minutes prior to meals, 30 minutes to eat, then followed by another 30-60 minutes to digest. This helps prevent bloat( while any size dog CAN bloat--most often occurs in larger/deep chested breeds, but I take no chances). We then are in and out throughout the rest of the day when dinner time commences between 5-6pm, repeating the same 30-30-30/60 routine. Last let outs and romps wrapping up around 10-11pm. I don't operate a free for all. Fully fenced in yard. Specifically zoned areas for potting and play. Daily house keeping services including vacuuming and daily crate wipe down and disinfection. Dogs are outside as much as we can be, under direct supervision weather permitting.

We stick to familiar neighborhood routes, and I’m constantly aware of traffic, other dogs, and any signs of stress or discomfort.

I respond quickly to messages and always follow your specific instructions about routes, bathroom breaks, and your dog’s individual needs.

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.

“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!”
About: Loving and caring for your pet is my upmost priority. I have a medical back ground with the love and care that can’t be matched. I am retired from the US Army and have a great deal of time to spend with your baby or babies. I would love to care for and spoil your babies All animals with be 100% watched at all times. No dogs will be just let out. They will be walked , played with and brought out to run. If you have me care for your cat, I will always spend time caring for your cat. I will get down on the floor and play if they like to And I will always clean up after dogs on their walk and clean up cat litter boxes to make sure the cat is comfortable every time it feels the need to use the litter box.
“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!”
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.

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

I currently have a lot of availability so I have a bunch of time to get to know your pets! Please message me regarding house sitting availability. I focus on maintaining their normal routine to minimize stress when caring for pets in a client’s home. I provide updates, photos, and notes after each visit so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I've been a lifelong cat companion and caregiver, having raised and nurtured them since I was young. Over time, I've also bonded with my cousins' and friends' dogs, learning their unique needs and quirks while helping with everything from daily care to playtime. Whether it's a playful pup or a curious cat, I genuinely enjoy keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy. Since I currently work remotely, my schedule is wide open for pet sitting and dog walking— whether it’s a midday stroll or an overnight cuddle session. With a little heads-up, I’m happy to help with house sitting, too. Caring for animals isn’t just a part of my day — it’s something I truly look forward to. In my home, I’m the go-to comfort zone for my two cats — they always come to me for cuddles, calm, and of course, their meals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I create that same sense of safety and familiarity. My friends’ dogs naturally stick close to me, whether we’re relaxing or out for a walk, because I make sure they feel secure, heard, and happy. Whether it’s your place or mine, I treat every pet like family — with patience, gentleness, and attention to their unique needs.
“Marybeth was great with Reggie! He’s a goofball and she handled his enthusiasm like the pro she is. Reggie looked forward to their walks—literally—he sat by the door waiting for her to arrive.”
“Angela was lovely and took great care of our puppies, despite one being extra spicy and the other extra poopy. Always takes them on nice long walks which we usually don’t have the spoons to do ourselves. Thanks so much!”
“Katrina has been awesome helping us take care of our new puppy. She has been helping us reinforce new commands and she always spends extra time with Mika. We are very happy we found her.”
About: I want to be a Disney princess so bad so I can be friends with all the animals. Joking aside, I love animals whether it be reptile, fish, or mammal. I inherited my love of animals from my family. I grew up having dogs, cats, exotic fishes, hamsters, chickens, and pigs. My friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their pets when they are away because they know that I take care of their pets like they're my own. I'm a stay at home mom, so you can be assured that your pet will never be lonely. I have the flexibility to suit you and your pets schedule. I know it's hard to trust strangers to take care of your pets so I offer a meeting first and so you can get to know me and make the best decision for your pets. I also make sure you get updated and take photos & videos.
About: I will pay full attention to your pet. I am flexible and I can work with you to tend to your pet's every need. I am often the go-to call when my friends or neighbors plan to go away. I will love your furry family member like they are my own. The great bonus for me is the love I get in return from your pet and hopefully provide peace of mind to the owners. I have one 18-year-old grumpy kitty who I love dearly, who will happily hide in my bedroom – and ever so briefly – coexist with my doggie guests. All good there. I would be available any time from Sunday-Thursday for doggie day care or drop in visits... and available from Sun to Wed for overnight stays. I will love and protect your pet like they are my own. If I were to visit your/their home, I would enter and provide excellent service with respect to you and your pets!
“Rita was wonderful with my pup! It was great to meet her, and she went above and beyond with walking my dog while I was away. Long walks in Colonie park and socializing with other dogs (which my dog struggles with normally - yay!!). Will happily use her walking and boarding services again.”
About: Born into a multi-animal household with all kinds of different dog breeds (big and small), cats, parrots, and even an 100Ib tortoise. I have had and worked with old and young, healthy and sick and I will provide the best service possible to your animal because it is truly my pleasure! I integrate pet care seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring I am always available to meet their needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, or playing, I'm here to care for your pets anytime. I offer comprehensive pet care both in my home and clients' homes. Pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with regular feeding, exercise, and personalized attention. In clients' homes, I follow specific instructions for feeding, walking, and play, ensuring pets feel secure and cared for in their familiar surroundings.

About: I have loved animals all my life and your pet will have a great and safe time with me. I will make sure they are well cared for and that they get out a lot during the day. I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room.

“David has been excellent with our two Chihuahuas. One of them is quite difficult with strangers, but David has always been extremely patient with him and won him over. David has always been very reliable and professional. We've been lucky to have him taking care of our dogs. I can't recommend David strongly enough!”

“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.”
“This is the second time we entrust Penny to Christopher and his lovely wife, and they continue to provide wonderful care for my elderly pup, all while sending me pics and videos of her, which is always wonderful. Penny requires attentive care with meds and some ear cleaning, and Christopher did both. They are great dog sitters!”
“I can't say enough good things about Richelle! Summer, my pup loves her and was very comfortable with Richelle. I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. It is very clear that Richelle truly loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make sure they're comfortable and happy. I came home to a relaxed and well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“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. 🫶🏼”

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!
“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 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”
About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I offer morning dog walks or dog/cat drop-ins before 11:00 AM and evening dog walks or drop-ins after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their pets get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I am available most weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.
“Our cat loved it with Emma and made herself right at home. She was great with pictures, notes, and even sent a little video. I'm excited to have someone I trust with Charlotte. Thank you to Emma and her lovely roommate.”
“This was our first time booking with Monique and I will definitely book again. She was very flexible with our last minute changes. She sent several messages and pictures of Harley over the weekend. Monique was very attentive and caring.”
“Jayla was so great! She was incredibly responsive and provided helpful updates. I felt so comfortable leaving our pet with her. You could tell she really treated our dog like he was a part of her family. We will definitely be rebooking with Jayla in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Cache took great care of Charlie. He was super calm when I picked him up, instead of jumping all over me. Maybe he wanted to stay with her! Cache was very communicative and also flexible with my ever-changing timeline. It seemed clear that Charlie was her top priority for the 4 days he spent with her. She was on top of his routines and packed up all his things tidily for pick-up. By the way, I know Charlie doesn't care that she has a lovely apartment, but I liked it a lot. 😊 Cache inspired confidence so that I could relax during my trip.”
“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!!!”
