“Samantha and her family are amazing. Honestly. My first time boarding my 3 month old puppy and they made it so easy. Communication and kindness!! Such genuine people. Thank you for everything!!”
“It is always so comforting to know that Bailey is in good hands when we go visit our family. She keeps us informed and sends pictures. This is the fourth time we have used Brigid and Bailey seems to feel just as comfortable there as he does at home. Thank you Bridgit!”
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!
“Chelsea was amazing with our Lucea! We got great photo updates during her stay that helped us relax knowing Lucea was enjoying herself! We are so happy we found Chelsea and Tumbaros Clubhouse!”
“Kimberly was so kind to take Toby my 19-lb Havenese dog very last minute! I have a bad wrist fracture and was not able to take care of him properly. She took such great care of him with only hours’ notice. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Brad and Mery were excellent caretakers, consistently providing updates and pictures of our furry family member. We felt relaxed knowing she was in their care while we were away. Thanks Brad and Mery!! Woof!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer and couldn’t have felt better about leaving Moose and Maggie in her care. From our initial meet-and-greet through the entire stay, Jennifer was warm, attentive, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure both dogs were happy and well cared for. Moose is a senior Great Pyrenees with some mobility limitations and additional care needs, and Jennifer went above and beyond for him. She was patient and compassionate, adapted walks and activities to what he was comfortably able to do, helped him when he needed assistance, stayed on top of his medications, and made sure he was comfortable and included. At the same time, she made sure Maggie received just as much individual attention and plenty of activity suited to her energy level. Jennifer sent frequent updates and so many wonderful photos throughout their stay, which we really appreciated. Her mom was also wonderful with the dogs, and it was clear that Moose and Maggie received so much attention and affection while they were there. Jennifer was also incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the stay, which made everything much easier for us. We’re extremely grateful for the care they received and would absolutely trust Jennifer with them again. I know Moose and Maggie will be very happy when they realize they’re headed back for another stay!”
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“Lori is excellent! Our energetic golden retriever stayed with Lori for a week. She greeted us at the door and allowed us to settle him in before we left for a week. She has a great, comfortable space for dogs, including a large fenced in yard. She has a friendly dog and was sure to introduce them slowly and safely. She made sure Louie was safe, even removing stuffed toys he might ingest. She takes the dogs for walks, including the dog park. She was a great communicator and even sent pics of the dogs playing. She also gave Louie a bath before we picked him up! We will definitely use Lori again. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“My dog seemed very comfortable with Daniel. She didn’t cry when I left like she usually does. Overall if I need a sitter again I would use him.”
“Natthinee is a fantastic Dog Sitter. This was my dog’s third stay with her. My dog requires several medications twice a day and she was very thorough and sent me pictures and updates of the medication she administered as well as several pictures throughout Lulu’s day. Lulu was curled up on her husband‘s lap numerous times so I know that they were treating her as one of their own! I knew she was in very good hands and completely trust her to take care of my baby who has a lot of needs!”
“I can't say enough about Gillian and Mitch. Left my puppy fur almost a week during a move. She had so much fun with new friends and was so well taken care of . If you need someone please use Gillian and Mitch!”
“Hands down Anna is THE BEST dogsitter I’ve EVER had! She took care of my 8 Y.O. male husky for over seventeen days while I was out of the country. During that time she sent me daily pictures and updates of Apollo without having to ask for them, fast response times, and VERY friendly service. It was clear to me that my boy was being given the royal treatment, and that she deeply cares for dogs. Apollo was given plenty of love, treats, playtime, cuddles, and attention. When I got him back, nothing was amiss; he was happy, healthy, and in great spirits. He adjusted seamlessly back into home life, almost like I was never gone— a testament to how happy and worry-free he was while in their care. Anna goes ABOVE AND BEYOND dogsitting. When I picked him up I was given a gift bag with treats, printed photos of Apollo, a placemat, a resounding report card, and other doggy accessories. Even his bowls and blankets were washed. I HIGHLY recommend Anna to anyone looking to board their dog, and I’ve already recommended her to my brother who also owns a Husky. She’s friendly, flexible, warm, and a very considerate woman. If I could give more than five stars, I’d give her ten!”
“Teddy stayed with Pamela while we were on vacation, she sent us photos and updates about teddies stay. We were very pleased and thank ful for the way Pamela took care of teddy. This is the first time for teddy to stay with anyone except a family member. When we picked teddy up, he was very happy and content. Thank you Pamela, I hope we will be able to have teddy stay with you next time we go on vacation..”
“I came home to a happy healthy puppy. Marisa was very responsive. Never waited for more than 2 minutes for a response to my messages. I received a few pics. Highly recommend.”

“Tiffany took care of our newly adopted rescue dog for two days and it was the first time me have left him with anyone new. Tiffany was loving and caring with Kevin. She sent daily updates with pictures of all the day’s activities. We were out of state and had to extend our agreeded apon stay by several hours and Tiffany accommodated the request happily. We would use Tiffany again and will recommend her to anyone who is looking to board a dog. Thank you so much Tiffany. Job well done”

“Katie is so awesome! She went above and beyond to befriend our grumpy old man of a cat, was very thorough at every drop-in, and just a lovely person all around. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“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!”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Heather B. was amazing! She cared for my two cats for 7 days, 1x/day. The daily timing of visits was consistent with what was agreed upon. The photos and notes she posted were so complete and helpful that I really felt comfortable with my decision to use Rover, and especially picking Heather B. This experience has helped inspire me to travel more, knowing my kitties are in good hands!”
“Lindsay took such good care of my two cats! I got updates with pictures every visit which is appreciated. My cats can be skittish, but warmed up to her immediately. It was a great peace of mind while away. Will book Lindsay again!”
“Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.”
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.
“Pamela is punctual and conscientious. She took care of three of our pets (our dog traveled with us this time). One of the kitties needs medication two times per day and I could have set my watch to Pamela’s arrival to do that for us. We appreciated her taking that weight off our minds. Highly recommended!”
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 am comfortable pilling animals and have direct access to emergency care 24/7 in case your fur babies need it❤️. I currently own 2 cats of my own and a ball python. I’ve owned large dogs my whole life including a Cane Corso & Giant Schnauzer!
“Jessica was fantastic with my cat! I arrived home after having to travel for work to a healthy and happy cat and an apartment that was just the way I had left it. Jessica provided a clear summary of each visit and was overall a great catsitter! Will book again.”
“Alicia accepted to pet sit for me last min on Christmas Day. I truly appreciate it and she came nice and early to make sure all the kitty’s were fed. Alicia followed instructions well.”
“Alexis did such a great job checking in on my cat. :) She told me my cat war very loving to her which is very rare for her to open up to strangers. Was very open to communication, asked if there was certain things my cat liked to do like getting brushed (which she melts when getting brushed lol) She did a great job and will have to for sure have her do it more and do a stay over with Sapphire sometime too when i need to leave for a few days. Thank you Alexis :)”
“Sydney is the best! She is extremely helpful, professional and attentive to my dog's needs. She is always on time and thorough with her visits. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“Nina is thorough, observant, caring, and professional. I have a senior cat with special needs and he was so happy under Nina’s care. I have absolutely no anxiety going away if Nina is available. Marcel and I are so grateful for her!”

“Chelsea was amazing and my pup must have known the minute he met her. It is rare that he walks right up to anyone he doesn’t know but he did with her. He seemed to have a great time and looked so happy in the pics. This really made me feel good about my choice. Thanks Chelsea. Loved the report card as well. See you next time.”
“I am so grateful to Kim for watching my dog for daycare. Tuna had a great time hanging out with resident pup, Bella; they ran around in the enclosed back patio and she got to hang outside on the deck which is her favorite pastime while waiting for me to pick her up after work. Kim's son took her on multiple walks each day, including first thing in the morning which gave me peace of mind and made our morning that much easier. I could tell Tuna liked spending the day there which is super important to me; we'd love to be a repeat client due to our positive experience!”
About: We’re a mom‑and‑daughter duo devoted to senior dogs and rescues who thrive in calm, loving routines. Our home offers quiet, cage‑free daycare and boarding with a fenced yard, no stairs, and gentle, intuitive care. Every dog is welcomed like family and supported with the patience they deserve. Where sensitive pups, seniors, and rescues feel safe, understood, and loved. We’re a mother–daughter duo devoted to senior dogs, rescues, and pups who thrive in calm, loving routines. Caring for our three rescue dogs, indoor cats, and our 13‑year‑old feral boy is our daily rhythm and full‑time lifestyle. Our home is built on rescue‑rooted compassion, gentle structure, and family‑level comfort. Every dog is welcomed like family, supported with patience, and cared for with the same devotion we give our own rescues. Dogs love staying here because our home feels safe, calm, and deeply loving. Seniors relax with our staircase‑free layout, shy pups blossom with our gentle routines, and adventurous dogs enjoy nature walks, streams, trails, and cozy indoor comfort. Every dog feels understood, protected, and truly at home. Review Note: Seven years ago, before I learned the importance of boundaries, I struggled with scheduling. After a long hiatus, I rebuilt my entire care system with strict capacity limits and clear routines. Today, every dog receives reliable, safe, structured care. We’re not a facility — we’re a small, rescue‑rooted home. We accept only three guest dogs at a time, ensuring calm energy, emotional safety, and individualized care. Seniors and disabled pups are always welcome, regardless of size. A meet & greet ensures compatibility with our three rescues and indoor cats. Our home includes a double‑gated breezeway for safe drop‑offs, a staircase‑free layout, and fully pet‑friendly furniture. Crates are optional and only used if a dog chooses one. Outside, our wide fenced yard offers shade, cooling mats, a small & large size dog pool, and plenty of space for zoomies and gentle exploration. Traditional facilities can be loud, crowded, and overstimulating. Our home is the opposite — quiet, structured, small‑scale, and supervised at all times. Dogs enjoy nature enrichment, gentle routines, cozy sleeping spaces, and real companionship. It’s safer, calmer, and healthier for seniors, rescues, and sensitive pups.
“We are extremely grateful to have found Anna for our puppy. Chloe had an amazing day full of fun away from her family for the first time. We are so blessed to have found Anna and we definitely will be booking her for the future. Not only is it a fun, loving, safe place but also you can tell she is experienced and loves caring for fur pets. She gave us a report at the end, with a goodie bag and some printed pictures from our pup. She went above and beyond! ❤️🐾”

“Great first experience leaving my dog in their house for a day for daycare. Christopher and Chelsea both are very kind, sweet, patient and knowledgeable about caring for dogs. When I picked up, I can tell my baby is so happy, satisfied and well rested. Will definitely come back again!”
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.
“Patrick and Sara were awesome! They were very flexible with pick up and drop off times and took Zac for a nice relaxing walk in the woods which Zac absolutely loves! And it's nice that my dog had some friends to socialize and play with too. I would not hesitate to book them for future stays. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Definitely recommend Natthinee as a dog watcher!! My boyfriend and I left our dog Emma for the day, and she had a blast. Natthinee provided texts and video updates throughout the day. Our energetic dog came back exhausted and happy. We will definitely go back to her in the near future!”
About: I’ve taken care of friends and families dogs. I had a Shitzu named Bella who I rescued in 2016 and she was older and had some health issues. I gave her the best life! She passed in Feb 2019 and will always be in my heart! Ava was born in 2020 and I got her when she was 8 weeks old. She is my love❤️ I treat every dog as I would my own with love and care❤️ Reach out and schedule a meet and greet before booking and we can get to know each other and introduce the dogs❤️ My current schedule is I am home full time. Ava loves to play and we go out several times a day for potty and play in my fenced in back yard, I have a fenced in yard. My dog Ava is 5 years old and she loves adults and children. She is very friendly and would love to play with your dog.
“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!”
“Tiffany is a wonderful host, and Sunny had a terrific place to stay. A big comfy couch for the pups, a doggy door leading to a big fenced yard, and three very friendly pups of her own. Looking forward to a return trip later when we’ll be gone for a week. And looking forward to checking out the delicious looking cakes, cupcakes, & cake pops she custom makes!”
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.
“Marianne took amazing care of our dog. Marianne is obviously very experienced animals, was very attentive to our dog’s needs and behaviors and is extremely kind and loving to our furry friends. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“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.”

“Samantha is a wonderful sitter who showed a great deal of patience with my dog (who can be anxious around people he doesn't know). She worked with us and was flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend her!”
“Jessica has been walking our dog since April and she has been terrific! We feel very lucky to have found her! She’s reliable, kind, and intuitive with our dog. She sends midday reports on her walks which are super helpful. I always come home to a calmer pup since Jessica started with us. We’re hoping to hire her for a longer sit at some point, too. Jessica is great!”
“Katharine was extremely easy to work with! She assisted in fulfilling a last minute request, and got along great with my dog! She was able to get my pup to take a walk and eat her food, which are often difficult tasks due to my dogs anxiety. Would 100% recommend Katharine to others!!”
About: I'm a cat and dog mom (cats are 10, pup is 7) with over 7 years of dog walking experience and a lifetime of cat care. I follow leash and cleanup laws and whatever your pet rules are for your fur babies! I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule! I'm most available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with plenty of weekend availability. Between the hours of 8am - 4pm are best for me. I have a fenced, dedicated dog park far removed from main roads with plenty of grass. I always have doggy doo bags available for cleanup.
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 am comfortable pilling animals and have direct access to emergency care 24/7 in case your fur babies need it❤️. I currently own 2 cats of my own and a ball python. I’ve owned large dogs my whole life including a Cane Corso & Giant Schnauzer! I currently work full time in the animal emergency clinic. My schedule is Tuesday 11a-11p - Friday 7a-7p - Saturday 1p-1a and I do pick up shifts here and there. With this being said, I can come by before and/or after my shifts. I am currently not accepting boarding as my current living situation is not feasible for more animals than I currently own. I can care for pets in your home!
“Sarah was wonderful! She was able to help us out last minute this morning after a last minute work schedule change and being new to town we didn't have a support system established yet. We are very appreciative of her support and attentiveness with our girl :)”
“Great communication & service. I was in a terrible predicament &;Heather was great & alleviated a lot of stress. My dog is a great judge of character & he took to Heather immediately. Highly recommend”
“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 have been caring for pets for friends and family for many years. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty when it comes to cleaning up pet messes. Plus I love sending photos to owners to assure them that their pets are happy and cared for. I am mostly available weeknights and weekends. I am currently working full-time, but I have the ability to check in on pets during the day if needed. Weekday mornings are usually a little busy for me. While I cannot currently offer housing for pets in my home, partly due to a cat diva, I can promise to be respectful of any home I enter.
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: As a lifelong dog lover, I know just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. About a year ago, I unexpectedly lost my own boy to a sudden heart condition. It broke my heart, and for a while, I couldn’t imagine opening my home to another dog of my own. I do, however, miss having dogs in my life—their personalities, their companionship, and all the joy they bring. That’s what led me to Rover! I’d love the opportunity to give your pup some extra love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of patience, affection, and care. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I’d be honored to be that person for you. 🐾❤️ I’m a bartender with a schedule that gives me plenty of flexibility during the weekdays. My days off are often spent getting outside for walks, runs, and enjoying some fresh air, so having a pup to join me would be the perfect addition to my routine! Because I work at a seasonal location, my availability will become even more flexible as the season winds down. I’m looking forward to using that extra time to spend with dogs, whether that means a long walk, some playtime, or simply giving your pup some company and attention while you’re away. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely love being around dogs, so I’d be happy to make your pup part of my everyday routine! 🐾 I have a large two story home with plenty of space for roaming and playing, as well as a fenced in back yard. We do not have any pets at the moment so it’s very easy to accommodate yours.
About: I've taken care of dogs & cats my whole life. 30 + years. I currently have a 8 yr old Scottish terrier who gets lots of walks, love, attention & exercise daily. Family & Friends always rely on me to take care of their fur babies! I am on the LOWER SIDE OF COST, simply because I enjoy caring for dogs & cats. I don't think it should be that EXPENSIVE! I have been in the same boat before with my fur baby with needing care from a stranger. Your dog or cat will be well taken care of and loved in my hands ! I have repeat clients that can attest to my high level of care for their pets on here and another networking pet care source. I have lots of flexibility for the Summer and times. It is has me unavailable you can always send a request and I can work to make an adjustment! Please reach out for any time or day and I can make an accommodation 🙏 My schedule is flexible for dog care/ drop ins rain or shine ! I am on the lower side of cost simply because I enjoy caring for dogs and don't think it should be that expensive. I have been in the same boat with my fur baby before. I can come morning & late afternoon/ evening during the week. I can of course make time adjustments to accommodate your Pet's need. Weekends I have more open time availability. I like to make sure a pet gets a well timed lengthy walk with lots of attention for their walk/drop in. I treat any dog like my own. Lots of TLC & attention. I like to establish trust with the dog and build off that ! I treat every pet with extreme love, safety & care. I have repeat clients on another app as well that are very happy with my care/
About: Hi, my name is Jennie and I would love to care for your fur baby !! I’m originally from Nepal, where we actually have a whole festival (Kukur Tihar) just to celebrate dogs and thank them for their loyalty 🐕 . Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I treat every one like family. 🐶 I will treat your dog like my own , ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a relaxing walk, I tailor my care to meet your pup’s unique needs. I also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind! If you prefer we can also set up a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a great fit! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐶 I find spending time with dogs truly therapeutic—they bring so much joy and comfort. Honestly, I enjoy being around dogs more than humans! I love and care for every pup as if they were my own child, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times.” flow: I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my home. My husband and I live in a townhouse with no kids or pets, so your furry baby will get plenty of attention and care. I make sure they have regular exercise, playtime, and a cozy place to rest.

No matter the breed, I treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for.
About: (she/her/hers) I mean, who WOULDN'T adore those two orange boys? 🥰🥰 Chili and Chalupa were adopted from Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue in Denver, Colorado, in January 2023. They rule the house, and I can't wait to love your pet like I love them! I am often available for same day appointments within a 3 mile radius of Guilderland. I am flexible with responsibilities as well- let me know if you want your space left a certain way (AC on, bathroom door closed, etc) and I'll make sure you have peace of mind about your home while you're out. My times are flexible if yours are as well. I work retail, and my schedule changes from week to week. I will always be able to committ to a minimum of one visit a day for all services, but may double check with you if your booked visit times are flexible, especially for multiple day bookings. I love taking photos of your pets! I often send lots of updates during walks and drop ins, from when I get there, to what we're doing, to one more before I go. I'm going to try to catch your pet in the middle of a yawn, or a meow, or a bark! They get lots of love while they're with Aunt Stacie, and special attention to details like extra water in their wet food and tracking general hydration levels, supervised outdoor times for cats with secured balcony privileges, PLENTY of scritches wherever they prefer (got an elevator butt cat? A pibbie that lives for scratches on their big melon head?), and equal amounts of love, as well as awareness and respect of their boundaries and body language. **Please be aware of and respect my service radius and availability windows. My lower sitting fees are a result of a smaller service area and limited availability due to a separate work schedule. If you need a walk, please book a walk and not a drop in. Drop ins are for fenced in private yards, cat visits, and other similar situations.** Thank you so much for your understanding!! I have a very flexible schedule and I am happy to commit to both long and short term care. Travel in the Guilderland and Colonie areas is not a problem. Please don't hesitate to send a message if you aren't sure I can meet your needs. If we aren't a match, all bookings can be changed/canceled if needed with no penalty and full refunds*, and I'd love to chat! (*Meaning if we communicate about a visit BEFORE it is booked+agreed on by both of us. Anything discussed, agreed to, and booked by both of us will have the normal refund dates respected.) I am known for being very thorough in cleaning up after myself, whether that's keeping your kitchen clean or cleaning up after dogs on a walk.
About: Hello my name is Matt, I have experience with all kinds of dogs firm Great Danes to Chiwawas. I was raised on a farm and worked for a pet therapy clinic in Rochester NY. Animals have always been a part of my life and I consider myself lucky because of it. I'm aware of the responsibility that comes with this job and I'd be honored to meet and build trust with you and your fury friend! I am available for pop ins, walks, house sitting, baths the works! I run my own business so I am able to create my own shedule :) I am not currently offering sitting at our house.

I’m currently a full time online college student that sets her own schedule! I am pretty open and free all day to hangout with pups!

“Samantha and her family are amazing. Honestly. My first time boarding my 3 month old puppy and they made it so easy. Communication and kindness!! Such genuine people. Thank you for everything!!”
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!
“Chelsea was amazing with our Lucea! We got great photo updates during her stay that helped us relax knowing Lucea was enjoying herself! We are so happy we found Chelsea and Tumbaros Clubhouse!”
“Brad and Mery were excellent caretakers, consistently providing updates and pictures of our furry family member. We felt relaxed knowing she was in their care while we were away. Thanks Brad and Mery!! Woof!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer and couldn’t have felt better about leaving Moose and Maggie in her care. From our initial meet-and-greet through the entire stay, Jennifer was warm, attentive, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure both dogs were happy and well cared for. Moose is a senior Great Pyrenees with some mobility limitations and additional care needs, and Jennifer went above and beyond for him. She was patient and compassionate, adapted walks and activities to what he was comfortably able to do, helped him when he needed assistance, stayed on top of his medications, and made sure he was comfortable and included. At the same time, she made sure Maggie received just as much individual attention and plenty of activity suited to her energy level. Jennifer sent frequent updates and so many wonderful photos throughout their stay, which we really appreciated. Her mom was also wonderful with the dogs, and it was clear that Moose and Maggie received so much attention and affection while they were there. Jennifer was also incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the stay, which made everything much easier for us. We’re extremely grateful for the care they received and would absolutely trust Jennifer with them again. I know Moose and Maggie will be very happy when they realize they’re headed back for another stay!”
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“Lori is excellent! Our energetic golden retriever stayed with Lori for a week. She greeted us at the door and allowed us to settle him in before we left for a week. She has a great, comfortable space for dogs, including a large fenced in yard. She has a friendly dog and was sure to introduce them slowly and safely. She made sure Louie was safe, even removing stuffed toys he might ingest. She takes the dogs for walks, including the dog park. She was a great communicator and even sent pics of the dogs playing. She also gave Louie a bath before we picked him up! We will definitely use Lori again. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“My dog seemed very comfortable with Daniel. She didn’t cry when I left like she usually does. Overall if I need a sitter again I would use him.”
“Hands down Anna is THE BEST dogsitter I’ve EVER had! She took care of my 8 Y.O. male husky for over seventeen days while I was out of the country. During that time she sent me daily pictures and updates of Apollo without having to ask for them, fast response times, and VERY friendly service. It was clear to me that my boy was being given the royal treatment, and that she deeply cares for dogs. Apollo was given plenty of love, treats, playtime, cuddles, and attention. When I got him back, nothing was amiss; he was happy, healthy, and in great spirits. He adjusted seamlessly back into home life, almost like I was never gone— a testament to how happy and worry-free he was while in their care. Anna goes ABOVE AND BEYOND dogsitting. When I picked him up I was given a gift bag with treats, printed photos of Apollo, a placemat, a resounding report card, and other doggy accessories. Even his bowls and blankets were washed. I HIGHLY recommend Anna to anyone looking to board their dog, and I’ve already recommended her to my brother who also owns a Husky. She’s friendly, flexible, warm, and a very considerate woman. If I could give more than five stars, I’d give her ten!”
“Teddy stayed with Pamela while we were on vacation, she sent us photos and updates about teddies stay. We were very pleased and thank ful for the way Pamela took care of teddy. This is the first time for teddy to stay with anyone except a family member. When we picked teddy up, he was very happy and content. Thank you Pamela, I hope we will be able to have teddy stay with you next time we go on vacation..”

“They were great with Bailey, communicated just the right amount of times to help us feel at ease while far away, that he was doing okay. When he arrived home, he was calm and relaxed, and that's a sure sign for us that he was well cared for and felt comfortable. Would highly recommend and definitely will use them again. Thank you for letting us enjoy our time with our family without worrying about Bailey. :-)”
“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”
“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”
“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”
“Amy was incredible. She sent me updates, was kind, flexible, and treated my puppy very well. Her home is in a safe neighborhood and has a great setup for pets. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Amy and her care.”
