Personalized care for your dog or cat - Menands
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Menands
“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.”
“It is always so comforting to know that Bailey is in good hands when we go visit our family. She keeps us informed and sends pictures. This is the fourth time we have used Brigid and Bailey seems to feel just as comfortable there as he does at home. Thank you Bridgit!”
“I once again couldn't be happier that I found Mark & Sylva to watch my boys Buddy & Connor. This is the 2nd time they've watched my boys and once again I'm deeply appreciative of the attention and care they give my babies. The pictures and daily updates eased my worries about being gone. I would recommend them to watch your fur babies over and over again.”
“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.”
“Mellysa was amazing with our high energy puppy. She was available even though it was a last minute booking and sent pictures and follow up throughout the stay. Our puppy had so much fun and came home exhausted from all the play. Pur puppy loved her dogs and cried when she had to leave. Highly recommend for a safe and loving sitter while you are away.”
“Larry took excellent care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. He was extremely professional and made sure to ask questions to ensure our dog was as comfortable as possible. We received updates during our time away on how our little guy was doing. We were extremely satisfied with our experience and will definitely keep Larry in mind for our next trip!”
“Jannice was wonderful! From the moment we met, I could tell she loves animals. Our dog Lili took to her right away. I highly recommend her! You can’t trust just anyone with your furry baby, but I know I can trust Jannice. - Caroline”
“Maggie is awesome. She took good care of my dog when we were out of town for the weekend. She sent photos and videos everyday, and also followed feeding/walking instructions. Our boy had a great time with her! We would definitely come back to her again if needed.”
“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”
“Debbie was AMAZING! She will definitely be my go-to sitter from now on. She was so kind accommodating my last-minute request and answered all of my questions. Im usually so anal about who I leave my dogs with and schedule meet-and-greets well I’m advance, but something popped up last minute and she was She has a HUGE beautiful fenced in yard that my dogs went crazy for. Her two sweet chihuahuas were great company. Could not recommend more.”
“My husband and I needed someone to watch our 9 year old Golden Retriever - Last Minute!! We were so lucky we found Rima! Rocco was well taken care of and Loved!! I highly recommend Rima!”
“Absolutely thrilled with Cashe's dog bordering services! Professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to my pet's needs. Cashe was highly responsive to my texts, making the whole experience seamless. My Opal seemed happy and I couldn't have been more at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommended!”
“This was my first week away from my dogs. I was nervous and at first I was unsure of how to even start, find a sitter, and then make sure my dogs were okay with that person and their own dogs. But then I found Marisa and she made me feel so much better. We did a meet and greet, and while I was on my trip she kept in touch and sent photos. The process was painless, she communicated often, and my dogs were happy and healthy when I picked them up. I would 100% use Rover and Marisa again. She takes the anxiety out of travel and leaving your pups.”
“Excellent, excellent, excellent! Vera where were you when my children were in daycare??! Your professionalism is outstanding! My family and I truly appreciate you and the care you give our fur baby! Thank you again. We will see you soon.”
“Amanda was absolutely excellent with my 6-year-old, 110-pound, high-energy dog — and that’s no small task! He can definitely be a handful at times, but she handled him with confidence and care for all 5 nights he stayed with her. She took him on long daily walks (which he really needs to burn off energy and stay calm), and it made such a difference. Amanda was extremely responsive and sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend Amanda and would love to have her watch my dog anytime I’m away!”
“Lori has a positive spirit and was fantastic with our boy. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth transition and experience for our furry family member while we were away. Thank you, Lori!”
“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.”
“Laura is a very caring dog lover, evidenced by all the senior dogs she takes into her care. She understands dogs and provides them with a safe and loving environment. Communication was easy and consistent, and Laura was flexible about dropoff given problematic weather conditions. I highly recommend her!”

Cat caregivers near you - Menands
“Thank you, Sara! Our cats were well looked after while we were away. Sara’s timeliness and communication were so appreciated. Our cat who can be picky about taking medicine took her pill from Sara no problem. Sara has a natural touch with animals and treats them with so much kindness.”
“Hannah did a great job at communicating and following through on requests. She made sure both our boys got the love and attention that they needed. She also made sure to give me updates, and take care of any concerns i had.”
“Alicia is super kind, professional, and my cat Tut loves her! She is very attentive to all my ridiculous requests for cat care and communicative (with photos of your pet throughout the visit). Would highly recommend Alicia as a pet sitter!”
“Linda was so awesome. I hired her thru this app and she took care of my two cats. Then, when I got stuck in Tampa due to cancelled flight because of bad weather, she stepped right in to help me out in a pinch. I’m so thankful my cats got such good care!!”
“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.”
“Melanie is so wonderful! She graciously took a last minute booking and also was super easy going about my address mixup which I GREATLY appreciate her for. I would absolutely book with her again.”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I absolutely adore them. My dog was raised by a cat, so she basically thinks she’s one too😂. I understand that every cat has their own personality and needs. I also have experience administering medication and providing extra care when needed. Feel free to reach out with any special requests!
“Debra was wonderful with my little girl. She exceeded my expectations and took great care of both my Maya and me. All the pictures she sent showed how much my cat loved her and they put me much at ease that Maya was happy and content. I am so grateful and will definitely hire her again.”
“When we went abroad for our wedding, we were worried about boarding our cats because one is older and one is very shy. From the first visit we could tell Nina was such a great presence and both cats warmed up to her so quickly. We knew they would be in good hands. Every day of our trip we looked forward to her daily check ins and photos which were so appreciated while we were missing them. We would definitely recommend Nina as a sitter and will book her services again for any future trips.”
“Dylan’s communication was fantastic and showed up for my pup and made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you Dylan, we appreciate your time and the care you provided so we could enjoy our time away!”
“Jaanice was awesome with Chai. From the moment Chai walked in the door she was comfortable and made herself at home. Jannice updated me through pictures and messages. Would definitely book with her again! 🤍”
“Nicole is amazing! She is prompt, thorough, communicative and very personable. She even offered to bring our garbage cans in from the curb. I always know Bella is in great hands while I am away.”
“Laney was awesome! She stopped by beforehand to meet Napoleon and learn the ropes. She accommodated a change in schedule on very short notice when I realized I'd booked the wrong date! I will definitely rely on her again.”
“I could not have been happier with Rima! I am always nervous leaving our dog with anyone because of her separation anxiety, but Rima was AMAZING. She sent so many updates and videos and really bonded with our dog! Seeing the happiness and how comfortable our dog was with her instantly from the videos made me relaxed. Trying to make plans to do something again so I can ask her to sit! Thank you so much Rima!!!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Menands
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Patty was great! My dog Lexi had a wonderful time. We received many pictures during the day showing us how happy our dog was. Will definitely be using her again soon.”
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.
“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.
About: In my home animals are considered family. I will treat your family with the same love and attention I provide my own. I have cared for animals my entire life, and have experience with large and small dog breeds, cats and birds. Each animal is different and needs to be cared for differently. I will tailor my care plan as appropriate for your baby. I will provide daily updates and photos. If I come into your home, I will notify you upon arrival and departure. In my home I will only provide care for one family’s animals at a time. I am available for in home visits early morning, lunch time and evenings. I work from home full time. In my home the dogs will be provided love and attention daily and be let outside to run in a fenced in yard supervised at minimum ever 2 - 3 hours. Pets will be supervised at all times outdoors Pets will have minimal alone time, but will always have a space available if they choose alone time
“I can’t say enough great things! From the moment I dropped my dog off, they went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and cared for. They kept me updated throughout the day, sent lots of photos, and made sure he had everything he needed—including feeding him his breakfast. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was not only safe, but truly happy and well taken care of. The level of communication and attention to detail was phenomenal. You can really tell how much they care about the dogs in their care. Highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their pup!”
About: Over the course of my childhood my parents have been teaching me the proper way to care for not just people, but of course, our pets as well. After a while, tending to our pets was no longer so much a task for me as it was for my siblings. Taking care of and spending time with animals in general became something I still enjoy doing to this day, and as far as I know, will be one of my favorite things to do forever. With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, you can feel confident in my professionalism and knowledge of what would be in your pet’s best interest. I want to go beyond just keeping your animal’s needs met but to make sure they feel happy and comfortable at all times.
“Katherine is an excellent dog rover. She is a strong communicator, caretaker, and most importantly a good hearted dog person. Your dog is in great hands with her. When I’m in the area she will be my go-to person.”
“Keegan is the best 😍 he shows my dog so much love and affection. He communicates well, is trustworthy and keeps me updated with photos. He is such an amazing person and we are so grateful to have him in our lives. I trust him with all animals.”
“Amazing service! Vera went above and beyond. She was very attentive to Lilly and her needs. So glad that she got to play with Vera’s dogs and that they went on a long walk! We are definitely returning ?”
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.
About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own! I adore animals and love to help them to be happy and content. I am excellent at helping puppies recover from surgery! I have acted as a full time pet parent for two dogs & a cat over the years. So I am very familiar with the in home needs of pets. I'm clean and considerate when inside clients homes. I have taken care of countless other animals in the homes of friends, as well. I lived with a lab & pitbull mix pup from 2021 until early 2023. I was with her all day every day after her spay surgery and loved helping her recover. I spent countless hours training her, I was the best Stepmom pet parent anyone could ask for. I loved her with my whole heart and the end in the relationship with the owner is the only reason we are apart now. From the time I've spent with her & my last dog, I'm confident that I have the skills to calm high energy dogs. =] I love all dogs and cats! I look forward to adding some big smiles to their days! With the pets I've met through Rover, animals have all respond to me very well. I've been able to build bonds with pets quickly. I've been working with puppies and LOVING it. I'm here for your pandemic pups! I am completely open to working with clients to schedule walks and drop ins whenever pets would need. Weekends as well! I have experience working at a doggie daycare too! The safety of your pet and myself will always be my main priority. I will be sure to check all equipment before going out on walks. If your dog pulls, please let me know this at the time of booking. Looking forward to setting something up!
“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!”
“Jialin and John took great care of our Noodle while we attended a friend’s wedding in the area. We are not NY locals and the decision to bring our dog on the trip with us was somewhat last minute, so we were so lucky and grateful to find people to care for Noodle for a full day on such short notice. We received many photos and videos throughout the day which reassured us that Noodle was having fun and in great hands! If we lived in the area we would 100% book them again, and we’re honestly bummed that they can’t be our regular dog sitters due to distance. We are very satisfied with the care they provided and we highly recommend them!!”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Menands
“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!”
About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. During the week I work full time, but occasionally I do have weekdays available, as well as most Fridays in June and July. I can also do late afternoon or evening drop ins during the week - even if I have the day blocked off I can often still do an evening visit, feel free to message me and ask. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.
“Thanks so much for watching my pepperoni while I was supporting a long work week 🥹 I think she really enjoyed the company! You were very punctual and kept me informed on anything you noticed as well as following all of my instructions. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: I have always taken care of pets in a way that is personal, individual and all about making them feel loved. I never like when I have to close the door to leave! I can walk, board or visit your pets after working hours during the "school year" and have a lot of availability in the summer! I can do either 2 or 3 visits a day for varying times! I am incredibly careful and I like to play and talk to pets constantly:) I love to let them be as free and included for as much of the day as possible!
About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. She and her daughter greatly appreciated my help and have said to me that their dog Cooper has been so much happier ever since he met me. I am a college student that goes to school 5 days a week from 7am to 2 pm. I can do early morning walks before 7am since I am a morning person, and I can do walks or come over after class. I am free on most weekends. I am free most of the time in the summer from June to August. I cannot bring pets into my home since I have two cats that are not very pet-friendly. But I can do all the care you need me to do at your house.
“My dogs LOVE Bradley. He’s been so helpful to my family and I - always showing up on time and even helping us out last minute - I cannot say enough good things about him and would highly recommend him to anyone !”
About: I have great experience with all types of animals in all ranges of age and necessities. I have worked at a barn as well as volunteer at my local animal shelter. I also grew up fostering puppies and kittens as young as days old. I have multiple pets of my own and they are my whole world, I treat any animal with the same level of respect. I work part time but my schedule is very flexible with an enough time in advance. I am free pretty much all day on weekends and most consistently after 3 on weekdays. 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.
About: My whole life I’ve just loved animals. I’ve always had pets. I was the one in my family that pet sat when they went away. I am a real estate agent and being that I have very flexible hours with that I would like to fill my time with doing something that I think is fun. That is by loving animals. I plan on just doing dog walking to start. Maybe eventually doing at home care. Just moving to the area I need to get more acclimated.
About: I’ve taken care of many pets in my life as I used to live on a farm growing up. I treat them all as if they’re my kids. I have a part time job as a nurse at a nursing home and I have two children in the home but over the ages of 15, other than that I have no young kids or other pets. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play! As well I have a park 2 mins from my home that I can take any pet I’m caring for.
About: Friends and family members have trusted me to care for their furry loved ones for as long as I can remember. Our furry friends deserve just as much love and care as we do. I work from home three days out of the week, so I am able to care for pets during the day. I am also incredibly available throughout the weekends and each weeknight. I maintain a consistent daily routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime to keep pets feeling secure and comfortable. I keep clients updated with photos and updates on their pets' well-being, so they can feel confident that their furry friend is in good hands. I create a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for pets to roam, play, and relax. I ensure all areas are pet-proofed and free from hazards. Pets receive lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I offer enrichment activities like toys and outdoor walks.
“Jessica went above and beyond for Daisy! She was so patient and understanding of our shelter dog's need for slow intros and some extra support learning to walk politely on the leash. She was super communicative and took care to follow all the instructions we gave her. We recommend her highly to anyone who needs walking/petsitting services!”
“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!”
“Great to have such a reliable, experienced pro to address Zadie's needs. Surpassed expectations and it's reassuring to know she was able to manage an encounter with another dog smoothly to prevent a dog fight. Phew! Will be asking to return as much as possible!”
“Angela was lovely and took great care of our puppies, despite one being extra spicy and the other extra poopy. Always takes them on nice long walks which we usually don’t have the spoons to do ourselves. Thanks so much!”

About: I've had the pleasure of working with a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, rats, and guinea pigs. I even spent six months caring for critters at an animal shelter, where I traded kibble for playtime. I've also had the privilege of sharing my home with four affectionate doggos—each one a bundle of energy, loyalty, and, of course, slobbery kisses.

About: I have a dog and a cat and love them both so much! I love animals and exercise so this is the perfect job. I have experience with small and medium sized trained dogs. I’m a student so I can walk your dog before and after school hours. I am more flexible in the afternoons than the mornings. I am very carful with animals especially if they have difficult social skills. I always walk routes that aren’t too far away in case we have to head back.

Cashe was highly responsive to my texts, making the whole experience seamless. My Opal seemed happy and I couldn't have been more at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommended!”
“Amanda was absolutely excellent with my 6-year-old, 110-pound, high-energy dog — and that’s no small task! He can definitely be a handful at times, but she handled him with confidence and care for all 5 nights he stayed with her. She took him on long daily walks (which he really needs to burn off energy and stay calm), and it made such a difference. Amanda was extremely responsive and sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend Amanda and would love to have her watch my dog anytime I’m away!”
“Lori has a positive spirit and was fantastic with our boy. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a smooth transition and experience for our furry family member while we were away. Thank you, Lori!”
“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.”
“Chelsea and Christopher were amazing sitters. As soon as we met we were given a tour of the house, which was the perfect environment for our pup. They were extremely friendly and sent many pictures throughout the stay. Maple was in such a good mood afterwards and we could tell she had a fantastic time. We will definitely be returning customers :)”
“Bob & Kristine are extremely kind and attentive. We never had to worry about our puppy’s care while we were away. They always send updates and pictures, and our puppy felt right at home. We would highly recommend them!!”
“I cannot recommend Cong more highly. My Airedale, Phoebe, is always happy to see her! To know my dog is comfortable and happy makes leaving her a bit easier. When I pick Phoebe up, whether the stay has been multiple days or just one, my dog is relaxed and happy.”
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: Over the course of my childhood my parents have been teaching me the proper way to care for not just people, but of course, our pets as well. After a while, tending to our pets was no longer so much a task for me as it was for my siblings. Taking care of and spending time with animals in general became something I still enjoy doing to this day, and as far as I know, will be one of my favorite things to do forever. With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, you can feel confident in my professionalism and knowledge of what would be in your pet’s best interest. I want to go beyond just keeping your animal’s needs met but to make sure they feel happy and comfortable at all times.
“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!!!”
“Samantha was great! She sent daily pics and updates and our pup seemed calm and happy when we picked him up. She seemed to really put a lot of care and attention into her time with him and I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in capable hands!”
