“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”
“I cannot say enough good things about Brigid and her care of our Keely. She loved and cared for her so well that we never had to worry at all while we were gone. She sent pictures and gave regular updates. Highly recommend! We will use Brigid again!”
“Lori is kind, responsive, and reliable. I appreciated her reassuring texts letting me know my pup had settled in and was doing fine. I would recommend Lori to anyone.”
“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!”
“Nat was wonderful, she accommodated a last-minute travel and extended the stay. Daily videos and photos gave me peace of mind that my fur baby was in safe and good hands. Will definitely be utilizing Nat in the near future. Thank you for taking such good care of my baby!”
“Christopher and Chelsea watched our 3 pups for just a short stay this time, but as always they made everything a breeze and took wonderful care of the dogs. We got photos and updates frequently and the dogs always have a blast and come home tired out but well taken care of.”
“Anna was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond and even trimmed our dogs nails for us. I love how she went the extra mile to make sure that our pup was well taken care of.”
“After a daycare, we had our pup with Gillian and her pups for a boarding. He absolutely loved being there. She really makes the experience feel like home, and so do her precious fur-babies. We were worry-free knowing ours was well-taken care of, and his needs for cuddles were met (more than expected)! We would definitely bring him to Gillian again. Thanks for an amazing stay!”
“Kyle was great with our pup! I am sure that Buddy enjoyed his stay and having such a a nice yard to play in. Kyle was quick to follow up on any questions and kept us updated during our trip.”
“We don’t let anyone else watch our French bulldog. David takes her for plenty of walks, gives her lots of attention, and makes sure she gets her medication. She’s very happy with David, as are we!”
“Another great stay with Kristine & Bob! My husband and I are so comfortable leaving our dog, Fiona with them. They send updates and pictures during the stay, and are willing to take care of special requests with food and care that our dog needs. Their dog is also very sweet and loving and a good playmate for Fiona.”
“Felt comfortable leaving my dog with Marisa. She was great. Plus she has her dog and had a couple other boarding dogs my dog could play with. Will definitely book her again when we go out of town. Happy to have found her for Lela.”
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!
About: With years of devoted pet care, puppy training, senior support, rescue volunteering, fostering, and animal‑care schooling, I bring heartfelt, family‑level love and patient, intuitive attention to every dog I care for. Pet care is woven into my daily rhythm — from morning check‑ins to evening walks, caring for our three rescues in my wide, fenced‑in backyard is my daily cup of sunshine! Their love fuels my purpose and inspires me to help other pet parents care for their furbabies while they handle life’s responsibilities. My home was chosen with dogs in mind. Our wide, fenced‑in backyard offers shade, space, and freedom — originally built for our first rescue who needed safety, comfort, and room to explore. With no stairs inside, senior pups move easily and confidently. Every room is pet‑friendly, and dogs are welcome on furniture to relax as part of the family. Crates are available only if your dog feels safe choosing one — never forced. Our three rescues freely roam indoors and outside, receiving gentle, attentive care, and your furbaby will be treated with the same love, respect, and family‑level comfort. Pet care is woven entirely into my daily and weekly rhythm! Caring for my three resident rescues is my primary passion and my full-time daily focus.Because this is my dedicated lifestyle, I provide a highly structured and dependable environment for your furbaby. Daycare operates Monday through Friday with a strict drop-off window between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM, aligning perfectly with my morning routine. Our weekend boarding begins on Friday evenings as daycare wraps up and runs through Monday morning. This predictable schedule ensures that transitions are always calm, organized, and stress-free for the dogs. To ensure total peace of mind, I treat your dog like a true member of my own family. I enforce strict safety boundaries: I only accept small-to-medium dogs and strictly limit care to a maximum of 3 guest dogs at any time. My home features a secure, attached garage breezeway that serves as a double-gated transition zone, ensuring no dog can ever bolt near the street during drop-offs.Inside, my home is a staircase-free, pet-friendly environment where dogs are welcome to lounge on the furniture, beds, or right in my lap. Crates are entirely optional and only used if a dog seeks one out for feeling safe and secure. Our wide, securely fenced chain-link backyard is a true outdoor paradise built for comfort, safety, and freedom to experience zoomies! A custom area with a patio cover which provides adequate shade and has a dedicated cooling station, cooling mats, and a small dog pool with a water hose for fun, safe summer splashing.(Note on Profile History: If you scroll down, you will see two negative reviews from 7 years ago regarding scheduling issues. At that time, I lacked the firm boundaries I have today. I experienced burnout, took a long hiatus, and completely rebuilt my life and business. Today, I operate with strict capacity limits and automated schedule rules to ensure a flawless, ultra-safe care environment.)
“Tiffany went above and beyond to make sure the transition went smoothly since we have never left our dog before. Communication was great. Photos, videos and text messages made us miss our dog a little less because she looked happy and at home!”
“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.”
“This was our first time boarding Charlie, safe to say everyone was nervous. But reading other reviews and then getting pictures and videos of him playing with the group helped us relax while on vacation! Thank you so much Maggie, will definitely be back!”

“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!”
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!
“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!”
“Bradley was the perfect pet sitter. He was communicative and responsive and treated my home with respect. He sent frequent updates and pictures of my cat. He even helped out when the cat went missing unexpectedly, offering to look for him and lending a cat carrier. I will be using Bradley again for sure and I recommend you use him for your pet needs too!”
“Sara did a great job spending an hour a day with our cat, Lemon for the week we were away. We could tell Lemon would be in good hands when I first let hold her and saw how both of them responded. I highly recommend Sara.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“First time using any sort of pet sitter that my pets did not know! There’s some anxiety there, right? Came home last night after being gone for about a week and pets are fine (although Cat is a little grouchy with me right now) I am grateful. Thank you, Alicia.”
“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.”
“Nina was lovely supper sweet durring the quick visit and took great care of my Juno I couldn’t be happier. I was especially surprised to see a couple new toys she brought him and he just loves them I’m definitely rebooking with her next time”
About: I have taken care of family owned cats my whole life. Being from down south im always used to seeing animals of all life running around. I fondly remember sitting with the cats and giving them the love and support they needed, and then having them independently decide "eh, im good. I will return when I need love again!" haha, they are quite different from pups arent they? I have experience in feeding, sitting, changing litter boxes, and keeping them safe and secure.

“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!”
“Anna did a great job watching my dog for the day! She was always quick to respond and sent lots of photo/video updates throughout the day. Would definitely bring Bennet back for another day care day with her!”
“This was my first time using Rover and, remarkably, my first time leaving my dog Maddy with someone in their house, and not my own. Lori was wonderful! She answered all my questions before the day, and answered so promptly too. Maddy and Lori's dog Rees were very compatible, even though Rees is much bigger than Maddy. When I came to pick up my dog, Lori said Maddy missed me and was a bit subdued, but that's to be expected for the first time. Maddy was perfectly fine, and happy to see me when I came to pick her up. I will be booking with Lori and Rees again. Practice makes perfect!”
“Amazing! They took such good care of our puppy, even though she’s a handful. We feel like we hit the jackpot with this amazing trio (Banjo included, of course!) Thanks again!”

“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!”
“Luna had a great day with Brad and Mery. They’re very friendly caring folks and have a really nice house and yard to watch your favorite canine companions. We’d be happy to have her spend time with them anytime!”
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.
“First time with Tatiana and couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be a repeat customer as she provides a great experience for our Stella❤️ Very accommodating as we had last minute change in drop off times. Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“Jess is an expert on all things dogs. She is active is dog rescue and is experienced caring for dogs with a variety of special needs. She watched my senior dog with special needs and was spectacular!! I felt very comfortable and at ease during my day trip (I get very nervous leaving my dog). Thank you Jess!!”
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.
“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! Her warmth is unmatched and she brought me great comfort knowing my pup was in a safe, loving environment while I tended to family needs. Will definitely use Kenia again if I’m in the area, and highly recommend anyone in need use her too!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Marianne is absolutely wonderful. I'm very grateful to have found Marianne after going through a few different sitters. She is fast and great at communicating, reliable, spends a lot of time with my pup and takes her on so many walks, clearly cares a lot about my pup, and is incredibly kind and a dream to work with. My pup also totally adores Marianne as well. 10/10 would recommend!”

“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!”
“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’ve had my own animals, both cats and dogs (mainly cats) since I was 6 years old. I’ve had to administer insulin before to my diabetic cat that has since passed. My experience with dogs are mainly of the bigger size (I had a pitbull/boxer mix and a pure bred chow chow). I’m currently working as a Direct Support Professional overnights 9pm-9am Thursday through Saturday (technically Sunday 9am). So I’m pretty open for picking up last minute gigs if needed. I would love to have a break down of your pets day to day. Typically when they are most ready to play or eat. When potty breaks need to be done around.
About: I'm a cat and dog mom (cats are 10, pup is 7) with over 7 years of dog walking experience. 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.

“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 :)”

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. **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 area is not a problem. Please don't hesitate to send a message if you aren't sure I can meet your needs. I'd love to chat!

About: I've had animals my whole life, I love them more than anything! Looking for a little side gig to add to my schedule daily. Hoping to get a chance to love on all your precious babies! I'm currently working part time, I'm free during most mornings/afternoons, sometimes evenings. Just looking for an extra "something" to throw into my daily routine everyday! I take my 2 dogs on walks daily, they are my life! I'm very good at giving some puppy lovins'! Willing to help in anyway!
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: Many years of being a pet owner as well as caregiver. Familiar with different pet “ personalities “ and needs! From puppies to seniors, active high energy to couch potato! Recently retired and now a homebody with time to offer this service to the community. Lots of together time for our pet, walking, playing, and snuggling! I also share my home with a sweet, lovable, easy going little Havanese dog, who enjoys, people, dogs, cats, even enjoys my neighbors pet ducks! There is fenced front deck for outside chilling and a partial fenced yard for romping around! Many fields and areas to explore for walks and outings. The home is extremely dog friendly as there is a doggy bed in just about every room with toys and treats!
About: I’ve owned dogs ever since I was 8, and I’ve always loved and cared for them with no question. I love to feed, walk, bathe, and just hangout with dogs. Can’t wait to meet all of your pups!!! 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! I have a large fenced yard and I always bring running shoes because I know some dogs love to play! And some even love to try and make escapes, which is why I’ll always have treats and commands ready!
About: I work part time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. My fiancée and I currently have 4 cats but I grew up with dogs. I love dog sitting for friends and family. My previous dog was diabetic so I have given insulin and have with experience with senior dogs. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to play with your animals! Our cats love to cuddle and to go for walks in their stroller. I use automatic feeders for dry food and give them wet food once a day. I’ve pet sat where animals are free fed or prefer to be fed at a specific time.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own and have taken care of friend’s and neighbor’s pets reliably for the past few years. I love all dogs, big or small, lazy or high-energy! I’m currently free for the summer, so I would love to take care of your pet on a super flexible schedule! I am available all days of the week during daylight hours. I can follow detailed instructions, play with your dogs, and crate if needed. I am happy to be flexible with any needs that your dog might need while you are away!
About: I have, of course experience as a pet lover as a young child, merely watching and walking the dogs, feeding and changing litter/ picking up after the dogs. I never fully had responsibility and experience until I adopted my pal Leo. He is a high energy lab retriever and puts me through every step of patience! All in all, it has taught me to be stern and serious when needed, but flip it around to fun and playful as well. My boy knows to respect me and listen when i give a command. I know with my body language and direct nature will ensure your pups and kitties are loved and watched over. I will give your pets the time and attention you allow and ensure that while you are away there is plenty of fun to be had, and plenty of adventure as well :) I will be enrolling in school online at SNHU and will be taking courses at home. I will have afternoons and evenings off, So, plenty of free time for your beloved furry companions. I have experience with all types of dogs, not so much cats, but i am a day by day learner! I take everything into opportunity to gain a new skill. I will ensure your pet feels safe and secure with me, all of their needs will be met so long as they are in my care! :)

“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”
“Lori is kind, responsive, and reliable. I appreciated her reassuring texts letting me know my pup had settled in and was doing fine. I would recommend Lori to anyone.”
“Christopher and Chelsea watched our 3 pups for just a short stay this time, but as always they made everything a breeze and took wonderful care of the dogs. We got photos and updates frequently and the dogs always have a blast and come home tired out but well taken care of.”
“Anna was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond and even trimmed our dogs nails for us. I love how she went the extra mile to make sure that our pup was well taken care of.”
“Kyle was great with our pup! I am sure that Buddy enjoyed his stay and having such a a nice yard to play in. Kyle was quick to follow up on any questions and kept us updated during our trip.”
“Another great stay with Kristine & Bob! My husband and I are so comfortable leaving our dog, Fiona with them. They send updates and pictures during the stay, and are willing to take care of special requests with food and care that our dog needs. Their dog is also very sweet and loving and a good playmate for Fiona.”
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!
“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.”
“This was our first time boarding Charlie, safe to say everyone was nervous. But reading other reviews and then getting pictures and videos of him playing with the group helped us relax while on vacation! Thank you so much Maggie, will definitely be back!”
“Sunny always has a great time with Christopher and his wife. They treat him so well and they are both so accommodating if we need to change the time for drop-off/pickup. We couldn’t be more appreciative of them!”
“Jayla was patient with Luna (she's kind of a chicken) eventually Luna warmed up to her and seemed to have a blast. Jayla did a good job of keeping us updated and responding to my check in texts. Luna really liked her, I would use Jayla again to watch my fur monster”

“Emer took great care of our little dog. Her house and yard are well set up for dogs. She was easy to communicate with and a pleasure to deal with. My dog came home happy and relaxed.”
“We have used Sheronda two times within the last couple of months. We have nothing but praise for her and her family as well as the care she has given to our Elly. She was also understanding when we had a medical emergency on our most recent trip. We love how many updates and pictures we get. You won't get a better dog sitter anywhere. We look forward to using her service again.”
“Stephanie is wonderful to work with and it’s safe to say my golden, Lucy, loves her now. She helped me with last minute boarding request. We did an initial daycare so they could get to know each other before boarding and Lucy was super excited once she knew she was going back after her daycare day. Stephanie lets you everything going on and shares lots of videos & pictures during the stay. Would 100% recommend Stephanie to anyone interested in finding a safe and loving home to send your fur baby for a day or more.”

“We are so happy we chose Camilla to look after our 4 month old puppy Korra. It was obvious how much she understood the dogs she was caring for. She was so good with Korra and I felt like she got as much if not more love and attention than we give her. I love that she took her out on outings to the dog park to exercise and play.”
