“Mike and Amy are the best. Tonight when they dropped Buddie off, Buddie did not just fly out of the car to greet me. I had to go around to the open door and watch him wagging his tail like crazy in the back of their car and for a moment, I believe he was conflicted because he loves Mike and Amy & Bear so much that he didn't want to choose! It was sweet and made me happy that boarding him didn't seem to work out because Mike, Amy and Bear give him nonstop attention and love that no boarding place could. 💙”
“My dog Asher was treated like a family member, not a guest. I was absolutely thrilled as was Asher.. Cansu and Brett took him in like their own. Tons of photos and videos every day.”
“Megan was great. She took tons of pictures which we appreciated. She updates us at least everyday sometime twice a day so we felt secure that our pups were happy and safe. We've been looking for a sitter we can depend on and I think we've found her. Thanks so much Megan!”
“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!”
“My dogs came back happy, healthy and tired which is all I can ask for regarding their stay. I have a 13 year old dog that can end up overdoing it but no limping at all. Jen was responsive and I felt comfortable leaving Moana and Whiskey in her care while I was in Florida. I wish I had found her sooner. Definitely will be coming back.”
“Natthinee B is definitely a 5 star. This was my first time leaving my fur brother with anyone while we went away. We received updates twice a day along with beautiful pics. The meet & greet was very good!….. I knew from then it was going to be a lovely experience for my fur brother. Thank you, Natthinee for making fun and feeling like a home for my Frisco.🧡🦋…. Props to your husband as well!🧡”
“Maegan was flexible with our appointment. We had an important meeting on Monday and she canceled Monday. Abby had a good time. She came home and was calmer than she has ever been.”
“Paige seemed right at home when I arrived. Glad to see me, but in no rush to leave. Jonathan was very attentive to her and it is apparent he has a natural ability with dogs.”
“Mery and Brad looked after my greyhound Nadia for a few nights and they did a marvelous job! Setting up Nadia's stay was very easy and my messages were replied to promptly. I was also kept updated throughout her stay. Nadia was obviously happy and well looked after when I went to pick her up; I would definitely recommend Mery and Brad to anyone looking for caring and wonderful dog sitters!”
“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”
“David was incredibly responsive, kind and easy to work with! He took on my elderly 16 year old pup within a 24 hour notice after we found out our Airbnb didn’t allow dogs :( He took great care of her and sent daily updates which we really appreciated! She felt right at home with him and he made us feel very comforted knowing she was in good hands! Will definitely rejoin with him in the future :)”
“Ginger was wonderful. She took our 5 month old puppy for 3 nights. She provided plenty of updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. I’m thankful we found her through this app.”
“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”
“This is our 3rd or 4th time booking with John and he never disappoints! He is always such a pleasure and was even able to help us out last minute AND over a holiday weekend! He takes such great care of our elderly dog who usually doesn’t do well in new environments. We are so thankful to have found John :)”
“Anna was great! We received daily messages and photos of our dog's status. She paid attention to the needs of our dog. He was given a bath and had his nails trimmed, which was the best!! We even received a report card on pick up! Anna did a great job and we will definitely be using her again!”
“This was our first time using this type of service versus a boarding facility and I wish I had known about Rover in the past. After reading reviews on so many we decided to board with Tiffany and we are so glad we did. It was a nice feeling while away, we knew our two dogs were safe, were not locked in kennels and were able to run around and play with her dogs like they were part of the family. Being in a home setting versus a kennel, I'm sure was much less stressful on them as well. Many times at boarding facilities there is constant barking and chaos, so a home setting is the way to go. I'm also sure our boys received some one on one attention and petting from Tiffany and not for an extra fee like the facilities charge. As long as Tiffany will have them back, her home is the only place I will take them when we travel.”
“I had Sophie, a greyhound, for a year and had never left her...she is shy and likes her comfy life e.g. Sleeping on the couch and company. Both of those needs were met. Peg kept me up to date... I loved the pics! So glad I found a home to leave her where she was cared for and loved by a true pet lover! Thanks Peg (and family!).”
“Even though this was short notice, Jillian was excellent with Ezra! She sent videos, photos, and updates about what was going on during the night and day. I felt at peace knowing my boy was in great hands. If you're looking for a responsible, loving, caring sitter, look no further.”

About: I have been caring for dogs since the age of 8. I have been responsible for walking and feeding pets over the years. I am a big dog lover and enjoy spending time playing with dogs.

On the weekends my schedule is clear. I am open to caring for pets in a client’s home, playing with the dogs, taking them for walks, and feeding them. I love animals and enjoy spending time with them.
“Very personable, passionate about animals, and eager to meet my kitties. I think it's a great touch that a meet and greet was offered prior to accepting the appointment. Illustrates the flexibility and compassion required to care for my kitties. Having knowledge and the ability to give my special needs cat medication was a huge plus! Would absolutely hire again!”
“Great job Sabrina! Thanks so much for taking such good care of my girl. It allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away to visit my son, daughter -in-law and little grandson. I will definitely book you again in the near future.”
“This was our third time Jack came over to our house while we were away to check on our cats. Even with our multiple prescription foods and insulin needs, he does a great job taking care of them. Thanks so much! We know our three kids are in good hands when we're away”
About: I have cared for cats going back to my childhood and have my own currently. I have experience ranging from young cats and their wild energy to senior cats and the specialized care many of them need. Whatever you need, I can provide it.
About: My fiancée and I currently have 4 cats with varying personalities. I have experience from energetic cats that require play time to cats that don’t want me to know they exist to cats that want to be in your skin. We use automatic feeders but my schedule allows for me to feed a cat multiple times a day.
About: Hello!! My name is Haley ! I am 23 years old and I have owned/ took care of many different dogs and cats all of my life. From poodles to labs, and from russian blues to siamese, I grown to love them all. Early on this love allowed me to learn many skills including grooming, feeding, play time for every age, medication administration, and more! Over a year ago, I took on the special task of adopting my first behaviorally reactive dog named Coco, who is a 4 year old mini australian shepherd who has taught me so much more about caring for an animal with needs. Whether that be more spacial awareness on walks, training commands and structure, or more attention to intentional bonding, my dog skills have massively grown through my relationship with her. Due to her reactive tendencies, I was able to work alongside dog trainers at her training facility Unleash Fido in Jacksonville, FL to learn more about what an animal needs, even if it’s for a simple walk!! Outside of my love for animals, I am a stay at home wife for my navy husband Patric! I was a dance teacher and choreographer for years, as well as a world level powerlifter competing for Team USA in 2024!!! Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me, and i hope to meet your fur baby soon !! I am a stay at home wife at the moment, so my availability is completely open to care for your pets ! Due to this open schedule, I completely open to same day bookings and quick to accept them :) Due to my open schedule, I would love to accommodate to any rules/ preferences you need for caring for your pet inside your home. As for boarding, my husband and I are currently finishing off our fence to provide plenty of area for safe play outside !! Inside the home we have a fully dog proof home, as we ensure the safety of our own dog Coco. If your pet is reactive to other animals, we are willing to board our own dog with friends in order to make a safe environment for your pup or cat !!! We are able to crate as well if needed, and personally have the schedule to accommodate to any support your pet needs in our home or at yours !!!!
“Joanne was amazing! We have cats that needed to be checked up on while were were on a long vacation. We had never used Rover before but noticed that they have services for cats too. We found Joanne and are so glad we did! She went above and beyond our needs. Our cats got lots of attention each time she came. She made sure their food and litter was topped off and kept the areas so clean. She was great about including lots of info and pictures in the report cards. She even watered our plants! Her sweet kids also came and played with the cats. They were very respectful of the house. It gave us such piece of mind knowing that our animals were looked after so attentively. There is no doubt that we will be hiring her for vacations to come!”
“Brenna did an excellent job taking care of our kitties. She is very trustworthy. She took multiple pictures of our girls which made us feel at ease that they were doing good & in good hands while we traveled.”
About: As someone who has lived with and raised dogs my entire life, I understand the care, attention, and love they need. From playful puppies to senior companions, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life and know how to meet their unique needs. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for friends and family, ensuring their pets are well-cared for and happy while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the same love and care I give my own. I’m currently in college, attending part-time on campus and completing some courses online. I also work three days a week, so my schedule can vary. However, I’m available every night, both on weekdays and weekends. I just ask that you always check with me before booking to ensure I can accommodate your needs and provide the best care for your pet! I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them at their regular times, taking them for walks, providing playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I also make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment by keeping things familiar. If they have specific needs, like administering medication or following special instructions, I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is to ensure your pet feels cared for and happy while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats! Very familiar with both big and small breeds. We have a 6 year old yellow lab, Bodhi, who is extremely friendly and obedient. We could easily give lots of love and attention to some more animals!! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to two kids. We’re home a lot, always out in our backyard playing. My weekly routine revolves around them and their school schedules, but for the most part I am at home. I have a large fenced in backyard in a safe neighborhood. We have motion sensor lights and camera in both the front and backyard. We also have baby gates up all around the house with garbages and cabinets all baby proofed as well! Super safe environment, nothing unsafe they can get into. We can crate or just separate and give them their own space with baby gates. We also have a nice cool finished basement that’s set up like a spare bedroom with king size bed and tv if that’s more their style :)
About: I have experience with every kind of dog, from very large to very small. I've brought my own dogs to training and presently enjoy learning about dogs and their behavior. One of my favorite things to do is hike with my dogs. I'm a teacher, so, I am free all summer- morning (I'm an early bird) through evening and every day of the week and some weekends. I like to stay active, so adding walks to my day makes me happy. I take my three large breed dogs on walks or hikes every day. I'm comfortable walking more than one dog at a time and taking them for car rides to reach a destination.
About: I have loved and cared for all kinds of pets throughout my life. I’m nurturing, caring and responsible when it comes to caring for your pet aka member of the family! I am available on weekday and weekends all day. I live on 2 acres of land that is surrounded by trees and bushes so there’s no easy escape and can always keep an eye on your pet while they’re doing there business and playing. I also have a dog myself. He’s a 3 year old Australian Shepherd/Poodle mix. He has the biggest heart. He’s extremely friendly, playful and full of energy. He’s the perfect pal for your pet if they were to visit. I live right next to a rail trail for beautiful walks and hikes. I am currently not working so I am available all day every day. This includes holidays and weekends. I can also provide care at any time of the day. I have an older Aussie doodle. He’s 13 years old and is almost blind. He’s extremely friendly and loving. I live on 2 acres of property that is not fenced in. It’s very private.

About: I have 15 years experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as small animals and exotics. I foster dogs for a breed specific rescue, with medical and severe behavioral issues so I’ve seen it all. (Dog and human aggression ect…) If dogs are boarding in my home they must be crate trained and/or fully dog and cat friendly. We can always work something out, message me! I do not board cats but would be happy to stop by and spend some time with them. I’m home full time right now! I may go out for a couple hours for dog walking, but other than that someone is always here. We have a spare room if they need their own space. We have lots of experience fostering and crate/ rotate. We always make sure to spend equal quality time with each dog. If I am caring for your pets at your home I will spend the night there with them.
“Buddie spent the day with Megan, her family and pups and had a full day of playing and attention. He slept all the way home in the car and is out cold. A tired dog is a happy dog. Megan was very flexible and understanding when I was later than I originally planned.”
“Exceptional people! They are extremely responsive and were very welcoming. We set up a meet and greet to make sure Sheba would get along with Bear which made me feel comfortable that I was leaving Sheba in good, capable hands. I get several updates throughout the day which is awesome and they are very flexible with times. 10/10 would recommend to a friend or anyone that needs doggy daycare. Thanks for being awesome guys!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since little, my babysitter at the time had two dogs, I helped by feeding them and cuddling with them. I also have a cat that lives at my parent's home. He's been with us for about 5-6 years. I took great care of him! Pet care is something I build into my everyday routine. I love spending time with animals, so walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them attention throughout the day comes naturally to me. I'll make sure pets are comfortable with me and/ the environment, I'll make sure your pets get the attention they need. I'll keep in contact if anything ever comes up.
“Sierra took great care of my elderly dog. He was so content when I picked him up that he didn’t want to go home. She kept him separated from the other dogs, but in the same room, so he could see and interact with his new friends without any risk to him physically. My little potato really enjoyed his time there and I’ll be bringing him back!”
“Jack has been great with my dog. she goes twice a week for daycare and she is always excited to get there and never wants to leave. Jack has been very flexible and professional!”

“Kathy was awesome! Took great care of Bonnie, and sent lots of pictures and updates to keep us posted and reassured that everything was going well. She was positive and friendly with communication and flexible as out time tables adjusted a bit.”
“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.”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“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!”
“Biscuit had a great first day experience with George. He is a pandemic puppy, and I was very apprehensive as to how he would do with someone who was a stranger to him. George was able to ease him into the stay and kept him engaged the entire time. I was happy to get the photo updates. Biscuit came home happy but tired after the whole day of fun, and went right to bed! It was a great first experience, and we will definitely be using his services again.”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Been boarding and running daycare full time for 10+ years. I have studied dog behaviors, CPR trained, used to train and have spent my life learning dogs. Part of my business is even making pet products like bow ties, bandanas, toys, healthy treats, signs and organic paw wax. I run my boarding and daycare full time. It is what i live every day. I board 7 days a week and run daycare Tues-Fri We have a large dog specific room which daycare is run out of (while boarding your dog can join daycare for no extra cost) this room has a dog door that leads to the large fenced in yard. Once daycare is complete or dog dependent, the door comes open and the pups join our pack (2) snuggling on the couch and begging in the kitchen 😉
“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!”
“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: First time clients can use the promo code below for a discount on your first booking. DAWNA60239 My profile: https://www.rover.com/sit/dawna60239 I have taken care of dogs since I was in my early teens. In addition, through the years, I have also been a pet parent to a horse, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, tropical fish, goldfish, and hamsters. Family and friends routinely ask me for pet care advice since I have had pets for so many years and trained my own puppies through self teaching. I also have experience administering medications. I care for my own four dogs on a daily basis ranging in age from 3 to 17 and have raised them from puppies. We have play time and snuggle time at different times each day. There is plenty of extra time and love each day to care for your fur baby too. I have a fenced yard on just under 1/2 acre, and my four dogs love to romp and play which is part of their daily routine. They also love long walks or going for a car ride. They are all crate trained and feel that their crate is their special place, so the doors are always open for them to have their alone/rest time when they want to after play time (if they are not trying to claim a spot on the couch or in the recliner). One especially likes the couch and the others love to sleep in bed at night.
“Tatiana was amazing! She took care of my two pups very last minute and was very understanding if we were later than expected! Sent me pictures and updates throughout the day 😊. She treats them like they are her own. She also was very considerate with taking everything slow with them (introducing to her dogs). She’s an awesome pet sitter and definitely will be using her again!”
“Jen and her husband lovingly welcomed our 80 lb very powerful girl into their home for two days of doggie care. They exceeded our expectations in every way and we hope to utilize their services again next time we're in the area. Thank you Jen!”

“Cali stayed with Paul this time last year and was an ale to help me out again with a couple daily walks while she was being watched by my mom. Always great with communication and scheduling. And Cali definitely enjoys her time with him.”
About: Throughout my life I have taken care of dogs in many different capacities. Today I am currently an owner, foster parent for Petey's Legacy, and lover of all furry friends. I have experience with all ages and breeds and can provide the greatest experience a pup can ask for. I am always available for whatever your friend may need. I am available anytime, day or night to care for your pets. I know pets sometimes cannot wait to get the care they need and I am able to place them first on my list. I currently have two dogs and foster another one. At my home I have land that allows the dogs to move freely while on an extended leash. My foster dog has their own space that is separated from the other two so they can feel comfortable with a place of their own. All dogs receive equal attention and love. If I am caring for your pets at your home I am able to stay overnight if requested.
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: Leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make sure you have complete peace of mind while you’re away. I grew up on a family farm and have been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Spending my childhood caring for animals taught me that every pet has their own personality and deserves individualized attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away! I value communication and will update you with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in great hands! I enjoy providing check in’s on kitties and pups, as well as providing plenty of play time. You can rest easy knowing I’ll care for your furbaby as if they’re my own. I just moved from a house to apartment so as of right now I am just boarding kitties due to having a smaller yard. Safety is my priority! My 20 lb shih zhu mix is friendly and adores cats!

This includes holidays and weekends. I can also provide care at any time of the day. I have an older Aussie doodle. He’s 13 years old and is almost blind. He’s extremely friendly and loving. I live on 2 acres of property that is not fenced in. It’s very private.
About: As someone who has lived with and raised dogs my entire life, I understand the care, attention, and love they need. From playful puppies to senior companions, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life and know how to meet their unique needs. I’ve also provided dog-sitting services for friends and family, ensuring their pets are well-cared for and happy while they’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I’m dedicated to giving every dog the same love and care I give my own. I’m currently in college, attending part-time on campus and completing some courses online. I also work three days a week, so my schedule can vary. However, I’m available every night, both on weekdays and weekends. I just ask that you always check with me before booking to ensure I can accommodate your needs and provide the best care for your pet! I care for pets in my client’s home by following their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding them at their regular times, taking them for walks, providing playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I also make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment by keeping things familiar. If they have specific needs, like administering medication or following special instructions, I’m happy to accommodate. My goal is to ensure your pet feels cared for and happy while you’re away.
About: Growing up, I've had a couple of dogs. Our first was a mix (part husky, terrier, etc.) named O'Doolie who lived to be 16! I was young when we had her, so I don't remember her puppy years. Our other dog we had since I was in elementary school up to my early 20s was Dixie Lee. She was a Miniature Schnauzer and was the sweetest dog ever! I enjoyed bathing her, brushing her teeth, and giving her so much love and attention. My husband and I work together as landscape designers! During the winter months, our schedule is very slow. This provides us more time to engage ourselves in other fun and creative endeavors! Currently, I have an unfenced backyard. I live with my husband in a small home. In the future, we’d love to put in a fence— we have just found we haven’t needed to just yet!
About: I have 3 dogs , 2 cats , a fish, 2 hermit crabs and 30 chickens. I've also owned horses . I love animals and being around them . I'm currently working but am available from 1:00pm till 8:00pm weekday's and weekends. I can do drop in visits and walking. Please contact me with any questions. My pets currently wear collars to keep them in the yard. I also walk them on my property. We have 4 acres with lots of room to run. At my clients home I will ensure safety, take good care of your pet and love them like my own!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats! Very familiar with both big and small breeds. We have a 6 year old yellow lab, Bodhi, who is extremely friendly and obedient. We could easily give lots of love and attention to some more animals!! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom to two kids. We’re home a lot, always out in our backyard playing. My weekly routine revolves around them and their school schedules, but for the most part I am at home. I have a large fenced in backyard in a safe neighborhood. We have motion sensor lights and camera in both the front and backyard. We also have baby gates up all around the house with garbages and cabinets all baby proofed as well! Super safe environment, nothing unsafe they can get into. We can crate or just separate and give them their own space with baby gates. We also have a nice cool finished basement that’s set up like a spare bedroom with king size bed and tv if that’s more their style :)
About: Positive reinforcement and teaching go a long way. Where pet love comes alive and the fun doesn’t never ends. Teaching essentials to a successful bond with your pet from the heart. I am currently a full time student with ample free time to care for your fur babies. As someone who work long hours myself I find it crucial that pets stick to a routine (feeding, training , walks etc). I have a beautiful friendly fur baby at home to keep your pets company. Extra crates, bowls etc if needed. I have a small yard without a fence. I take my dog for walks twice day. As well sometimes caring for my friends or neighbors pets.
About: I have been passionate about caring for animals since childhood, with a lifelong commitment to helping pets and stray animals thrive in safe, loving environments. My goal is to ensure the health, happiness, and safety of every animal I encounter, treating them with the same love and care as if they were my own. With years of personal experience, including caring for a senior dog who lived a full 15 years and now rests peacefully, as well as raising my adventurous 4-year-old cat and my energetic 2-year-old dog, I bring dedication and compassion to animal care. Whether providing hands-on assistance or finding homes for animals in need, I am always ready to go above and beyond to keep them out of harm’s way and surrounded by love. Animal care has always been a big part of my life. I grew up around animals, which eventually led me to work in a veterinary clinic where I gained hands-on experience with pet health, behavior, and daily care. I’m no longer employed at the clinic, but the knowledge and skills I gained there still guide the way I care for every pet I work with. My schedule is now fully open, which means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether your companion needs walks, playtime, medication support, or simply a reliable and comforting presence, I’m committed to providing exceptional care. I treat every animal like my own and make sure you feel confident while you’re away by offering dependable communication and genuine love for your pet. If your pet has specific routines, quirks, or needs, I’m happy to accommodate. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾 I have a medium sized outdoor fenced in area that also is connected to an indoor area to get out of the heat. I also have a dog tie out that goes from the house down our hill.
About: I have 15 years experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as small animals and exotics. I foster dogs for a breed specific rescue, with medical and severe behavioral issues so I’ve seen it all. (Dog and human aggression ect…) If dogs are boarding in my home they must be crate trained and/or fully dog and cat friendly. We can always work something out, message me! I do not board cats but would be happy to stop by and spend some time with them. I’m home full time right now! I may go out for a couple hours for dog walking, but other than that someone is always here. We have a spare room if they need their own space. We have lots of experience fostering and crate/ rotate. We always make sure to spend equal quality time with each dog. If I am caring for your pets at your home I will spend the night there with them.

“Mike and Amy are the best. Tonight when they dropped Buddie off, Buddie did not just fly out of the car to greet me. I had to go around to the open door and watch him wagging his tail like crazy in the back of their car and for a moment, I believe he was conflicted because he loves Mike and Amy & Bear so much that he didn't want to choose! It was sweet and made me happy that boarding him didn't seem to work out because Mike, Amy and Bear give him nonstop attention and love that no boarding place could. 💙”
“My dog Asher was treated like a family member, not a guest. I was absolutely thrilled as was Asher.. Cansu and Brett took him in like their own. Tons of photos and videos every day.”
“Megan was great. She took tons of pictures which we appreciated. She updates us at least everyday sometime twice a day so we felt secure that our pups were happy and safe. We've been looking for a sitter we can depend on and I think we've found her. Thanks so much Megan!”
“My dogs came back happy, healthy and tired which is all I can ask for regarding their stay. I have a 13 year old dog that can end up overdoing it but no limping at all. Jen was responsive and I felt comfortable leaving Moana and Whiskey in her care while I was in Florida. I wish I had found her sooner. Definitely will be coming back.”
“Maegan was flexible with our appointment. We had an important meeting on Monday and she canceled Monday. Abby had a good time. She came home and was calmer than she has ever been.”
“Paige seemed right at home when I arrived. Glad to see me, but in no rush to leave. Jonathan was very attentive to her and it is apparent he has a natural ability with dogs.”
“Mery and Brad looked after my greyhound Nadia for a few nights and they did a marvelous job! Setting up Nadia's stay was very easy and my messages were replied to promptly. I was also kept updated throughout her stay. Nadia was obviously happy and well looked after when I went to pick her up; I would definitely recommend Mery and Brad to anyone looking for caring and wonderful dog sitters!”
“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”
“Ginger was wonderful. She took our 5 month old puppy for 3 nights. She provided plenty of updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her. I’m thankful we found her through this app.”
“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”
“This is our 3rd or 4th time booking with John and he never disappoints! He is always such a pleasure and was even able to help us out last minute AND over a holiday weekend! He takes such great care of our elderly dog who usually doesn’t do well in new environments. We are so thankful to have found John :)”
“Anna was great! We received daily messages and photos of our dog's status. She paid attention to the needs of our dog. He was given a bath and had his nails trimmed, which was the best!! We even received a report card on pick up! Anna did a great job and we will definitely be using her again!”
“I had Sophie, a greyhound, for a year and had never left her...she is shy and likes her comfy life e.g. Sleeping on the couch and company. Both of those needs were met. Peg kept me up to date... I loved the pics! So glad I found a home to leave her where she was cared for and loved by a true pet lover! Thanks Peg (and family!).”
“Even though this was short notice, Jillian was excellent with Ezra! She sent videos, photos, and updates about what was going on during the night and day. I felt at peace knowing my boy was in great hands. If you're looking for a responsible, loving, caring sitter, look no further.”

“Camilla took great care of our dog Rosie. Rosie loved the attention Camilla gave her, and she loved playing with the other dogs Camilla had boarding. Camilla had no problem giving Rosie her daily medications, and we think she looks healthier now than when we dropped her off at the beginning of our vacation. We will definitely contact Camilla when we need care for Rosie.”
“We are so glad we found Marina! We decided to try Rover last minute to board our dogs before a trip and her profile immediately stuck out. She was professional, gave our dogs great care and kept us updated throughout. We were able to really enjoy our time away without having to worry about how our dogs were doing. We would use her again and again to watch them! She also gracefully dealt with our very active puppy who presents her own set of challenges! She was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. We really can’t say enough good things! Thanks again Marina!”
“We used Carolyn again and she was exceptional as always. We received regular updates on the animals and lots of photos. Our furry family was very happy and well cared for while we were away.”
