Highly-rated overnight sitters - Latham
“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.”
“Sylva, Mark and family were fantastic hosts for Rey. They provided great updates and pictures over the 4-night stay. Rey seemed to have a great time and made herself at home. I will definitely reach out to them again for our next trip.”
“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.”
“Chrissy did an amazing job caring for our puppy Rosie. She sent updates and pictures of Rosie playing with toys, doing zoomies in her house and generally being her spirited, lively self in Chrissy’s home. Chrissy’s fenced backyard was a bonus. She was so kind, thorough and responsible, we felt very comfortable leaving our sweet Rosie with Chrissy. Highly recommend!!”
“Mellysa was absolutely amazing with our puppy, Juniper! She kept her over Thanksgiving and made sure we knew what Junie was up to the whole time. Mellysa sent adorable photos and videos several times a day, let Junie sleep with her, and just made sure she was safe and happy. Mellysa’s home is safe, her yard is fenced, her pups are friendly. We were able to relax and not worry about our Junie at all, even knowing that she usually hates being away from us. We can’t recommend Mellysa strongly enough and we’ll definitely use her in the future! 🙏”
“We love leaving Atlas with Patty! She gives us tons of pictures and makes us feel so comfortable leaving our pup! He always loves staying with her and his dog buddies!”
“Brigid was amazing with my little Peach. She took great care of her and gave her lots of affection. Knowing Peach was with Brigid gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Samantha and her partner were absolutely amazing. They are the best sitters I have met by far. I 10000/10 recommend. Samantha updated me throughout my dog's stay. I will definitely rebook.”
“Marisa was absolutely great with Lily! Marisa was very attentive to making sure that Lily would enjoy her stay, and she definitely did enjoy her stay. Thank you!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Maggie. Rocket was in good hands, was well cared for and had a great time. We really appreciated getting updates, pictures and videos. We would use Maggie again.”
“Chelsea and Christopher are incredible people- they made Dolly feel at home and gave her excellent care. You can tell they both are experienced and passionate about animals and are able to manage multiple dogs flawlessly”
“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!”
“Amanda is the best dog-sitter ever and Woodrow had a fantastic time with her!!!! Amanda was very transparent, kept in constant contact and sent plenty of pics of Woodrow on hikes, walks, sleeping, sun bathing and playing. I can leave Woodrow without any concerns at all. I would definitely recommend Amanda and leave Woodrow with her again for future trips! Thank you so much for taking care of my boy and allowing me to have a worry-free vacation. 🫶🏼”
“Our two pups had the best time with Margaret. She sent daily updates and pictures so we knew about all of their daily activities and how they were doing. We felt very comfortable with the dogs being in her care. We would definitely recommend Margaret to others in need of a dog sitter.”

Cat caregivers near you - Latham
“My first time on Rover, and honestly it was a great experience, Hailey was communicative and very patient with my cats and had no problem with any of the instructions I left for her. Felt like my cats were very safe with her since strangers are new to them and she got them to come near for photos during feeding time which I was worried about too. I will 100% be using her services again!”
“As a first time Rover user Nicole was outstanding. She made me feel at ease throughout the entire process and each pet visit. Communications were first class. I highly recommend Nicole and will definitely ask for her help again.”
“Samantha is awesome. She stayed with my cat Azi for a whole week, and sent very regular updates and photos. She communicated quickly when needed - I could trust that I could reach her if I needed to, and that she would reach out to me if anything came up. Most importantly, I could tell that Azi was calm and happy with her, which gave me so much peace of mind! He was chill (not too desperate for affection) when I got home, and the house was clean and tidy. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats for my entire life. After losing my beloved shihtzu 6 years ago I decided I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I foster pets, dogsit/housesit board and walk dogs and I have a flexible schedule. I love dogs of all sizes but I only have space in my own home for dogs under 20lbs. I am available to do home checks and midday walks. I am available for overnights or weekends stays. I will of course follow your rules for whether pets are allowed on the furniture but as far as I am concerned, your pets are family and in my home they can go anywhere that I can go! If you’re looking for someone calm, dependable and responsible, look no further! I have a flexible schedule and can be available for midday walks, dinner, enrichment, and overnights. I love field trips and fun adventures with your pup and can also just hang out if they need companionship. I do not have any pets of my own so that I can dedicate my time to pet sitting and fostering. This enables me to host small pets in my home or to stay with pets for extended periods such as vacations.
“Larry was super patient with our shy (and sometimes mean) kitty! We appreciate that he always made sure to find her and make sure she was safe even when she hid in the oddest spots.”
“Debbie is amazing!! She was extremely attentive and proactive in taking care of our shy cat Theo, who came around after only a few days and became best friends with her. She fed him according to our requests for wet food in the morning and made sure his auto feeder had enough kibble to dispense dry food at night, and offered ideas to adjust his feeding schedule to giving Theo additional dry food in the morning because she noticed he wasn’t eating much of the wet food that we had thought he would like. Debbie not only took it upon herself to take out the trash after cleaning the litter box, but picked up packages for us that had arrived during our time away, and she brushed Theo daily and gave him a lot of love so he didn’t feel so lonely. I can’t recommend Debbie enough. She is so kind and truly is an animal lover, any pet is in great hands with her. Thank you so much Debbie!!”
“Kaeleigh is a kind, caring, and honest pet sitter. She pays great attention to detail and sends me information about my cat's disposition (with photos) during every drop-in visit. She's easily able to address all of my cat's needs, and she goes above and beyond to make sure my cat is feeling well. Kaeleigh is very sweet, friendly, and trustworthy. I highly recommend her pet-sitting services.”
“Linda did a great job taking care of our cats. She communicated the throughout the time with updates and pics. Kitties were happy and seemed well cared for. Would definitely be happy to have Linda next time we have to be away!! Thanks Linda.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life, more dog time than cats but love them equally! Would love to spend more time with animals. Right now, I do have one black lab mix at home. I’ve raised dogs from 8 weeks old on and loved them beyond belief. Currently, I’m on maternity leave through the end of the year so I’m flexible and will have my baby with me. Once I go back to work, I will be able to use my lunch break to do drop-in visits only. We have a fenced in yard at home so we go out off leash together for playtime and bathroom breaks. My dog also gets walks at least once a day with a harness as I feel like it less likely for him to break free should he try.
“Stephanie was amazing. We met her once and knew she was the right choice. She was easily able to handle providing medication and special nutritional needs for our two older girls, as well as, keeping our younger guy busy with plenty of playtime. Steph sent plenty of pictures each day along with a detailed recap of each visit. When we were delayed 2 days getting home from our trip she was happy to extend our agreement to help us out of the jam. I would recommend to anyone needing care for their animals… as long as we don’t need her first!”
“Alicia is amazing — totally considerate and compassionate toward our cats and their needs! Have booked with her a few times now and trust in her to take care of our cat children!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Latham
“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!”
“MaryEllen was all I could have asked for and more to watch my little girl Nala! She was kind, easy to work with, responsive, and thoughtful! She went above and beyond to make Nala feel at home and welcome! I will absolutely ask her to watch Nala again!”
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.
“Kania worked great with the new puppy of mine. Wattsin returned further developed each time for the few days of care he was consecutively dropped off for, along with excitement to see her and the family for each play date following. It was a pleasure working with not only caregivers as such, but genuine people... and doggies. Highly recommend! Could not thank them enough.”
About: Responsible and trustworthy Experience caring for dogs of all sizes Feeding and medication management Dog walking and exercise routines Patient and gentle with animals Good communication with pet owners Knowledge of basic pet first aid Reliable and punctual Comfortable with overnight care Able to handle energetic or anxious dogs Strong attention to detail Playtime and companionship skills Cleaning and maintaining pet areas Understanding of dog behavior and body language Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular feeding, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I take seriously, and I enjoy creating a calm, reliable environment where pets can stay happy and stress-free while their owners are away. I provide loving, attentive care for pets both in my home and in customers’ homes. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine by providing feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also keep their living areas clean, monitor their behavior and well-being, and can follow any special instructions such as medication schedules or dietary needs. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I have a very dog friendly home with a dog door accessible to a large fully fenced in yard. If your dog enjoys swimming during the summer months, my pool is dog friendly. I enjoy sending photos and videos of your pup(s) all day long. I visit the dog park for ball throwing and safe, leashed walks 2-3 times a day. At home play breaks in the fenced in yard are common practice in my house. Snuggles on the couch are a must! My yard is completely safe for dogs. I always provide fresh water and enjoy spending time with dogs: petting them, playing with them, talking to them and walking them. Dogs are the best! They all have their own personality and there is something special and charming about every dog.
“Xena had a great time at doggy daycare with Kimberly. I’d highly recommend her. She kept in contact all day and sent photos and videos. Which is what any crazy dog mom needs! ??”
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.
“Our Hoagie had a great time with Monique and Ace. The dogs got alot of playtime and Hoagie got his snuggles from Monique. Great furbaby sitter and she sent pictures of there time together. Will be back for more playdates for sure.”
“Miles loved his stay with Anna! Travel is stressful for him and she not only got him to eat but exercised so he slept for the next leg of the trip. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our pup.”

Our pets are maintained in a clean environment. We have a fenced in yard and a little dog door so they are able to have a little freedom but are still safe. And we make sure that they have food and water as they need it.
“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!”

“Rita was wonderful with my pup! It was great to meet her, and she went above and beyond with walking my dog while I was away. Long walks in Colonie park and socializing with other dogs (which my dog struggles with normally - yay!!). Will happily use her walking and boarding services again.”
“Net did a fantastic job with our dog’s first Rover experience and we were happy to get the photos, update and report cards - assurance our dog was being treated great while we were away. We will be booking with Net again!”
“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 :)”

“This was just our first meet and greet, but she did great! My dog is a rescue and has a lot of fears and anxiety. Linda was very patient, and I saw her using some of the same techniques a dog trainer told me about. We're looking forward to seeing her again!”
About: I have loved animals all my life and your pet will have a great and safe time with me. I will make sure they are well cared for and that they get out a lot during the day. I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room.

So give us a call and we will treat your pet like the family member I know every pet owner wants

“Angela is just about the best puppy friend you could ever ask for! Takes the babies on super adventurous walks and is always such a joy to not only the dogs but the humans as well. 5/5 believe my dogs would rather go live with Angela.”
“Jose has been amazing! It is very comforting to know that my boys are well cared for when I cannot be there. We were able to do a meet and greet before scheduling regular walks. He is punctual, polite, and communicative. I can tell Astor enjoys his walks because every day I have off, like clockwork, he looks for Jose.”
“Sam is a rock star! My dumb dog loved her and Sam was very sweet, caring, and loving towards her and she even agreed to a quick meet and greet before Ivy's scheduled walk, very cool! Sam is a great communicator and I would highly recommend her.”

“Just started having Reagan walk our dog twice a week. She was personable and professional when she came to meet him. She communicated after each walk and I could tell that she was engaged with Biggie and gave him attention during her time with him. I will continue to use her weekly!”

I currently work full time but am available any time around my scheduled work times! I will work very hard to make sure everything lines up to how it should even with my work schedule.

However my schedule does shift and I am an early riser so I can make most other times work. I currently do not offer home services in my personal house. At a clients home I will listen to whatever instructions are given and keep everything as similar as possible for overnight and drop-in visits to help keep stress levels down for your animal.

“Leydi is a great dog walker. She is reliable, friendly, and is great with our 10 year old boxer dog. It would be a mistake if you didn’t hire her for your dog walking/sitting needs!”

“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 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.”
“Chrissy did an amazing job caring for our puppy Rosie. She sent updates and pictures of Rosie playing with toys, doing zoomies in her house and generally being her spirited, lively self in Chrissy’s home. Chrissy’s fenced backyard was a bonus. She was so kind, thorough and responsible, we felt very comfortable leaving our sweet Rosie with Chrissy. Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
“Samantha and her partner were absolutely amazing. They are the best sitters I have met by far. I 10000/10 recommend. Samantha updated me throughout my dog's stay. I will definitely rebook.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Maggie. Rocket was in good hands, was well cared for and had a great time. We really appreciated getting updates, pictures and videos. We would use Maggie again.”
“Chelsea and Christopher are incredible people- they made Dolly feel at home and gave her excellent care. You can tell they both are experienced and passionate about animals and are able to manage multiple dogs flawlessly”
“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!”
“Amanda is the best dog-sitter ever and Woodrow had a fantastic time with her!!!! Amanda was very transparent, kept in constant contact and sent plenty of pics of Woodrow on hikes, walks, sleeping, sun bathing and playing. I can leave Woodrow without any concerns at all. I would definitely recommend Amanda and leave Woodrow with her again for future trips! Thank you so much for taking care of my boy and allowing me to have a worry-free vacation. 🫶🏼”
“Our two pups had the best time with Margaret. She sent daily updates and pictures so we knew about all of their daily activities and how they were doing. We felt very comfortable with the dogs being in her care. We would definitely recommend Margaret to others in need of a dog sitter.”
“Chris was a wonderful sitter. With Chris, you also get Jia, his girlfriend, as a bonus second sitter who loves dogs. Bentley made immediate friends upon the preliminary meet and greet. The couple has no pets currently, so they were able to give Bentley loads of personal attention and play time. Chris lives near Washington Park, so Bentley had plenty of grassy area to run around and meet other dogs. Chris and Jia worked with our high energy, young pyredoodle, so Bentley would respond to commands more readily. We highly recommend booking with Chris.”
“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.”
“Christopher was incredible! Very communicative and sensitive to the needs of my dog. He is very knowledgeable on dog behaviors too! It’s was such a relief knowing my pup was in good hands :) thank you!!!”
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.
“Jayla was so great! She was incredibly responsive and provided helpful updates. I felt so comfortable leaving our pet with her. You could tell she really treated our dog like he was a part of her family. We will definitely be rebooking with Jayla in the future. Highly recommend!”
