“Sue was the absolute best! We had a very unique situation where we really wanted our dog, Maui, to be a part of our wedding day and weren’t from the area so we were unsure how to find someone that could pick him up from the venue while we were getting married and board him overnight. Sue went above and beyond to pick him up and board him. Sue also kept us updated with how Maui was doing and he had a great time playing with her cockapoo Ninny! Highly recommend Sue to anyone in need of dog boarding!”

“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”

“Jennifer was amazing. I can’t say enough good things. She treated my pup like one of her own and I am truly grateful. Leaving and being away from your pup is an anxiety inducing experience, but Jennifer took such good care of Cadbury and was so incredible at keeping me updated that I didn’t have to worry and was able to focus on my conference instead of worrying about him. And she also kept Cadbury entertained and engaged so his mind was on whatever thing was going on at the moment which I was glad for Her dogs welcomed Cadbury to their pack which I was also incredibly appreciative of. I am so glad he has new friends that I look forward to him spending more time with them. Jennifer, her mom and their pack were amazing and so glad it worked out the way it did. I’m sure I’m missing things but they were amazing and look forward to Cadbury’s next experience there and so glad to know I have a place I can trust. Thanks Jennifer!”

“Megan and her family were wonderful with our dog, Nova, and our two cats, Spirit and Salem. From the beginning, they were incredibly welcoming and made us feel comfortable leaving our pets in their care. We also really appreciated how reasonable Megan’s pricing was. We had seen other sitters on the app charging an arm and a leg for each cat, so it was refreshing to find someone who was both affordable and provided such great care. Megan gave us regular updates on how Nova, Spirit, and Salem were doing while we were away, which gave my son and me a lot of peace of mind. It was obvious that our pets felt comfortable and happy with her and her family. In fact, they seemed like they didn’t even want to come home! The little toy camper and the dog cookies were such a special touch, too! It was incredibly thoughtful and just another example of how much care Megan puts into making both the pets and their owners feel appreciated. We had a great experience and would absolutely book with Megan again the next time we need someone to care for our pets. We highly recommend her!”

“Anna was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave our doodle in a kennel because he becomes anxious in a crate. Anna was the perfect “homey” option. She was so accommodating, friendly, and professional. We trusted Anna for a full week with our goofy boy and she hit it out the park. We got frequent updates and pics. When we picked him up he was happy to see us, but not in an anxious “omg get me outta here” kind of way. He was just happy and looked healthy. Highly recommend.”

About: Hello all! My name is Carly. I am from Connecticut originally and have been living in the Capital district for about two years now. When I was back in home state, I had been sitting for about 8 years on and off and grew up taking care of all types. I used to have my own business called CA Pet Services doing pet sitting during my free time. I have taken care of all types of animals, large and small. I love meeting new furry friends and enjoy spending time getting to know them and giving them all the affection they deserve. Each animal that is under my care will get endless amounts of love and enjoyment. I want each dog or cat to feel safe, relaxed, and to feel that homey sensation when I take care of them. I also have my own 10-year-old male Australian Shepard, who is my fur child and enjoys meeting new friends that he can play with and take on adventures with. I'm currently looking to extend my pet care services for dog walking/drop ins on Mondays and Tuesdays. Some fun facts about me: • I am currently enrolled in an online vet tech program to become a licensed veterinary technician. • During my free time I like to ride horses, hike, and spend time with dog. I currently am working my full time job 4 days a week, my availability on my days off which are Mondays and Tuesdays is very flexible for dog walking and drop ins. I do not care for pets in my own home because I do have my own dog that is selective with others as he is in his senior age. If or when I do go to a clients, I respect all of the clients wishes and requests for their pet. The animal will be taken care of with thee upmost best care, as it is very hard to find reliable caretakers for our fur children.

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.

“Bob has been the best dog sitter we've ever worked with. He's very friendly and loves dogs. He gives frequent updates and is very responsive. Also the first time we dropped Walter off he sat me down and took me through a typical day of day care and if I had any questions/if Walter had any dietary restriction. We now drop Walter off on a regular basis without a worry in mind that he's going to have an excellent visit! Thanks to Bob for being so great! ”

“20/10 Whitney & Kevin K & W were amazing with my dog, Chanel. They were very understanding, communicative, and flexible even when our plans kept changing last minute. Chanel can be a bit difficult around other dogs, and they still handled everything beautifully and made sure she was comfortable and safe. Pickup and drop off went smoothly, and they made the whole process way less stressful for my family during a busy graduation weekend. I really appreciated their patience and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pet care!!”

“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: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and gained a lot of experience caring for my own family pets, then started pet sitting and working with horses as a teenager. After spending most of young adult life working with horses, I went back to college to get a degree that would allow me to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician. I worked in companion animal (dogs and cats) practice for a number of years before taking a "real" job that allowed me more time for my own pets. I've found I love my new job and schedule, but miss having as much animal interaction. I'd be delighted to provide care for your dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs (and other pocket pets) as well as horses and other large animals.

About: Hello all! My name is Carly. I am from Connecticut originally and have been living in the Capital district for about two years now. When I was back in home state, I had been sitting for about 8 years on and off and grew up taking care of all types. I used to have my own business called CA Pet Services doing pet sitting during my free time. I have taken care of all types of animals, large and small. I love meeting new furry friends and enjoy spending time getting to know them and giving them all the affection they deserve. Each animal that is under my care will get endless amounts of love and enjoyment. I want each dog or cat to feel safe, relaxed, and to feel that homey sensation when I take care of them. I also have my own 10-year-old male Australian Shepard, who is my fur child and enjoys meeting new friends that he can play with and take on adventures with. I'm currently looking to extend my pet care services for dog walking/drop ins on Mondays and Tuesdays. Some fun facts about me: • I am currently enrolled in an online vet tech program to become a licensed veterinary technician. • During my free time I like to ride horses, hike, and spend time with dog. I currently am working my full time job 4 days a week, my availability on my days off which are Mondays and Tuesdays is very flexible for dog walking and drop ins. I do not care for pets in my own home because I do have my own dog that is selective with others as he is in his senior age. If or when I do go to a clients, I respect all of the clients wishes and requests for their pet. The animal will be taken care of with thee upmost best care, as it is very hard to find reliable caretakers for our fur children.

About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. My pets are my world and are considered each day when it comes to giving them the best life possible. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.

“Jonathan was great with Annie. He was careful with the food instructions and let me know how the stay was going. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend Jonathan as a dog boarder!”

“Bob and his wife were wonderful! They helped us out in a jam and took great care of our puppy — we really can’t thank them enough. This is exactly who you hope is watching your pup when you can’t be with them. Thanks for taking such great care of Wembley!!!”

“Jennifer was amazing. I can’t say enough good things. She treated my pup like one of her own and I am truly grateful. Leaving and being away from your pup is an anxiety inducing experience, but Jennifer took such good care of Cadbury and was so incredible at keeping me updated that I didn’t have to worry and was able to focus on my conference instead of worrying about him. And she also kept Cadbury entertained and engaged so his mind was on whatever thing was going on at the moment which I was glad for Her dogs welcomed Cadbury to their pack which I was also incredibly appreciative of. I am so glad he has new friends that I look forward to him spending more time with them. Jennifer, her mom and their pack were amazing and so glad it worked out the way it did. I’m sure I’m missing things but they were amazing and look forward to Cadbury’s next experience there and so glad to know I have a place I can trust. Thanks Jennifer!”

“Megan and her family were wonderful with our dog, Nova, and our two cats, Spirit and Salem. From the beginning, they were incredibly welcoming and made us feel comfortable leaving our pets in their care. We also really appreciated how reasonable Megan’s pricing was. We had seen other sitters on the app charging an arm and a leg for each cat, so it was refreshing to find someone who was both affordable and provided such great care. Megan gave us regular updates on how Nova, Spirit, and Salem were doing while we were away, which gave my son and me a lot of peace of mind. It was obvious that our pets felt comfortable and happy with her and her family. In fact, they seemed like they didn’t even want to come home! The little toy camper and the dog cookies were such a special touch, too! It was incredibly thoughtful and just another example of how much care Megan puts into making both the pets and their owners feel appreciated. We had a great experience and would absolutely book with Megan again the next time we need someone to care for our pets. We highly recommend her!”

“I am SO happy to have found Daniel. We visit friends in the Albany area and our dogs do not get along very well. Daniel was flexible and accommodating to our needs and schedule. He responded quickly and sent us pictures of our very-happy pup throughout the weekend. Our dog came back happy and relaxed - good signs. We highly recommend him and will use him again.”

“Anna was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave our doodle in a kennel because he becomes anxious in a crate. Anna was the perfect “homey” option. She was so accommodating, friendly, and professional. We trusted Anna for a full week with our goofy boy and she hit it out the park. We got frequent updates and pics. When we picked him up he was happy to see us, but not in an anxious “omg get me outta here” kind of way. He was just happy and looked healthy. Highly recommend.”

“Lori was an absolutely perfect sitter for our pup, Piper. She was very responsive to any contact and very accommodating. Her place is a wonderful environment for dogs and she has a genuine affection for them which shows through when you meet her. Piper was clean and happy when we picked her up. If we head out of town again, Lori is definitely our go-to sitter!”

“Alex was WONDERFUL! He went above and beyond to take care of my 70lb foster puppy, Sony. Took him on long walks and to the dog park ?. He was also super helpful when I couldn’t get the crate into my car. He went above and beyond by picking up the crate and the pup at my apartment. Sony was so happy and relaxed when he got back home. I will definitely book with Alex again.”
