“Samantha and her family are amazing. Honestly. My first time boarding my 3 month old puppy and they made it so easy. Communication and kindness!! Such genuine people. Thank you for everything!!”
“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!”
“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”
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!
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“They were great with Bailey, communicated just the right amount of times to help us feel at ease while far away, that he was doing okay. When he arrived home, he was calm and relaxed, and that's a sure sign for us that he was well cared for and felt comfortable. Would highly recommend and definitely will use them again. Thank you for letting us enjoy our time with our family without worrying about Bailey. :-)”
“Brad and Mery were excellent caretakers, consistently providing updates and pictures of our furry family member. We felt relaxed knowing she was in their care while we were away. Thanks Brad and Mery!! Woof!”
“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”
“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!”
“Chelsea was amazing with our Lucea! We got great photo updates during her stay that helped us relax knowing Lucea was enjoying herself! We are so happy we found Chelsea and Tumbaros Clubhouse!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She helped us out when we were in a pinch and needed dog sitting for a weekend with only one days notice! We had never had Lucy boarded anywhere before and we were a bit nervous about the process, but it went so smoothly! She sent pictures to reassure my kiddos she was being well taken care of! I would definitely recommend her services and will be using her again for dog sitting in the future!”
“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”
“Lori is excellent! Our energetic golden retriever stayed with Lori for a week. She greeted us at the door and allowed us to settle him in before we left for a week. She has a great, comfortable space for dogs, including a large fenced in yard. She has a friendly dog and was sure to introduce them slowly and safely. She made sure Louie was safe, even removing stuffed toys he might ingest. She takes the dogs for walks, including the dog park. She was a great communicator and even sent pics of the dogs playing. She also gave Louie a bath before we picked him up! We will definitely use Lori again. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Rocky clearly enjoyed his stay with his new friends, although happy to see me he clearly was upset leaving Bear, whined half way home and slept like a rock ! Thanks again to Mike and we will look forward to our next stay :)”
“Anthony and Jane were fantastic. Great communicators, really nice setup on their property with tons of space and a fenced yard. My dog got along well with theirs. Will definitely book again.”
“I came home to a happy healthy puppy. Marisa was very responsive. Never waited for more than 2 minutes for a response to my messages. I received a few pics. Highly recommend.”
“Tiffany took care of our newly adopted rescue dog for two days and it was the first time me have left him with anyone new. Tiffany was loving and caring with Kevin. She sent daily updates with pictures of all the day’s activities. We were out of state and had to extend our agreeded apon stay by several hours and Tiffany accommodated the request happily. We would use Tiffany again and will recommend her to anyone who is looking to board a dog. Thank you so much Tiffany. Job well done”
“My dog seemed very comfortable with Daniel. She didn’t cry when I left like she usually does. Overall if I need a sitter again I would use him.”

About: I have been dog sitting dogs since I was a teenager. I have experience with many different breeds both big and small. Since I don’t have any pets of my own right now I love being able to go meet new furry friends and play with them I have a pretty flexible work schedule. I can make my own schedule based off of the needs clients may have. Depending on when your pets need care I can adjust my schedule accordingly It is my pleasure to keep your pets company while you are away. I am happy to help out with whatever is needed. I am reliable and will keep your pets company while you are away.
“Amy was awesome! She took great care of my pets and gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets. I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Merissa and Nick are the best pet sitters I have ever had, because they care and go above and beyond!! Besides the very helpful daily updates on my cat’s food, drink, litter box usage and general behavior, they sent me some of the greatest photos and videos of Hodge, many showing them playing with my very social fur baby. When I returned home after a 10-day trip, the house was immaculate and my mail and newspapers were neatly piled up on the kitchen counter. I knew that with Merissa and Nick my cat was getting the best care possible and was very happy, which gave me complete peace of mind to enjoy my vacation.”
“Glenn and Diana were the best sitters ever! We have a very hyper, young lab who does not like to be left alone. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before and Glenn and Diana provided us with not only did they provide excellent pet care, but they were extremely flexible with several last minute schedule changes. They also helped us navigate the Rover app to help correct errors on our part as well as giving our dog some short training sessions with sit, down, and stay while they were spending time with her. Glenn and Diana played a lot of fetch with the dog and gave our cat tons of attention too. Great sitters who really put us at ease! We highly recommend them and Rover!”
“Megan did a great job. Came in everyday and spent time with the cats. She fed them, cleaned their litter, made sure they had water, and played with them. She contacted me each time she was there and let me know how it went. I will be using her again!!”
About: I have plenty of references and experience with pet care. Growing up, I always had a dog and cat in the home. Currently, I live in an apartment and can’t get a dog. My boyfriend is allergic to cats, so I can’t get a cat either 😢 But I have plenty of friends and family who I have given pet care to. I can read animals pretty well and always prioritize their needs. I currently work full time but would love to use any extra time I have to help out your family. I work 3pm-11pm Sunday-Thursday. I am available all weekends unless my calendar says otherwise. When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize their needs and make sure they have everything needed. I like to keep the parents in the know of how they are doing and update with pictures as often as possible 😊
About: I have had cats for my entire life so you can count on me to clean litter boxes and wipe up that pesky vomit. I also know how important it is to play and sit with them, not just feed them. Plus I love sending photos to owners to assure them that their pets are happy and cared for.
“Sophia did a great job caring for our two cats for a week while we were on vacation! She was great at sending updates, including pictures and videos, and made my shy kitties comfortable. I highly recommend Sophia!”
“Once again Sage has been a wonderful pet sitter for our cats. On time, respectful, and our cats Hidey and Gidgit love her. Makes our time away less stressful knowing our fur babies are well cared for.”
“Sydney is the best! She is extremely helpful, professional and attentive to my dog's needs. She is always on time and thorough with her visits. Couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
“Jayden was a great sitter when boarding my cat! She was super communicative and kept me updated with pictures, it was very reassuring knowing that he was being well cared for while I was gone.”
“Great sitter! My dog is very timid and Daniel was very patient with her. He came for a drop in visit while I was at work for a longer shift. He took her outside, got her out of her cage after lots of prying, fed her, and kept her company! Will definitely be having him sit for her in the future (: thank you!”

“Chelsea was amazing and my pup must have known the minute he met her. It is rare that he walks right up to anyone he doesn’t know but he did with her. He seemed to have a great time and looked so happy in the pics. This really made me feel good about my choice. Thanks Chelsea. Loved the report card as well. See you next time.”
“Patrick and Sara were awesome! They were very flexible with pick up and drop off times and took Zac for a nice relaxing walk in the woods which Zac absolutely loves! And it's nice that my dog had some friends to socialize and play with too. I would not hesitate to book them for future stays. Thank you!”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all kinds for over 10 years. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dog. I love animals and I can stay in your home or host pets. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and bed. I have a fenced in back yard where your dog will always be accompanied by me. I will give lots of cuddles and love. I work full time but I have a hybrid schedule where I can be home all day. I can also stop in for visits as needed. I have a fenced in yard and will always be with your dog in the yard. We can go for great walks around the SUNY Albany campus. I currently have 2 cats that are very kind and curious.
About: We’re a mom‑and‑daughter duo devoted to senior dogs and rescues who thrive in calm, loving routines. 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.
“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! ❤️🐾”
“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: 🐾🏡 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.
“After my 1st visit with another sitter I wasn't happy at all with her but Jessica changed my experience with rover. From the beginning she asked great questions about my boy blue, the other sitter didn't ask anything. She was nice sent multiple pictures and blue was overall very happy with her. I will definitely be using her again. 5 stars all the way. Thank you Jessica!!”
“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.”
“Jess is an expert on all things dogs. She is active is dog rescue and is experienced caring for dogs with a variety of special needs. She watched my senior dog with special needs and was spectacular!! I felt very comfortable and at ease during my day trip (I get very nervous leaving my dog). Thank you Jess!!”

“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!”
“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!”

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.
“Kim was amazing. She sent me videos and pics throughout the day. Kept me updated, quick responder. Tahini loves her whole fam and pups. Will definitely recommend and will come back!”
About: I offer boarding and drop-in care here in Delmar, Our fenced-in yard gives pups plenty of room to run, play, and explore. My goal is to give every pup the attention, structure, and care they deserve—whether that means reliable boarding while you’re away, daily drop-in visits to keep them happy and active, or training to help them thrive. I’m committed to making life easier for you and ensuring your dog enjoys every moment in my care. Pet care is woven into our everyday routine—it’s not just a service, it’s part of our lifestyle. Pet care and training is the heartbeat of the home! I have a fenced in yard and a variety of crates and playpens to keep your pup safe. We do require a meet and greet.

“Jessica has been walking our dog since April and she has been terrific! We feel very lucky to have found her! She’s reliable, kind, and intuitive with our dog. She sends midday reports on her walks which are super helpful. I always come home to a calmer pup since Jessica started with us. We’re hoping to hire her for a longer sit at some point, too. Jessica is great!”
“Katharine was extremely easy to work with! She assisted in fulfilling a last minute request, and got along great with my dog! She was able to get my pup to take a walk and eat her food, which are often difficult tasks due to my dogs anxiety. Would 100% recommend Katharine to others!!”

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

I love to take care of them and take them on walks and my friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs when they were busy at school My schedule is different each week but I am great at managing my time and have many days where I can take care of any pet or fit in a walk on my busier days. I have a huge yard, pet friendly home, a dog pen, and will walk your dog everyday. I will make sure they get lots of love, food when needed, and follow any guidelines in your house
About: Hello my name is Matt, I have experience with all kinds of dogs firm Great Danes to Chiwawas. I was raised on a farm and worked for a pet therapy clinic in Rochester NY. Animals have always been a part of my life and I consider myself lucky because of it. I'm aware of the responsibility that comes with this job and I'd be honored to meet and build trust with you and your fury friend! I am available for pop ins, walks, house sitting, baths the works! I run my own business so I am able to create my own shedule :) I am not currently offering sitting at our house. Our Maverick (large Shepard/husky mix) gets jealous so for now I will not be offering our space.
About: Our home and land is doggy paradise! We have time, space, plus two friendly pups of our own that'll make your dog's stay great. We’ve been caring for pups for years, we’ll make sure your friend is cared for and comfortable. Our property really feels like a doggy summer camp. We have acres and acres of land that we mosey around most of the day between naps on the porch and mealtimes. Your dog will never be left at home alone, as both of us are able to build our schedules around our animal care. Our dogs are super friendly and easy going with all kinds of dogs. They’ve lived with all sorts of breeds, sizes, and ages over the course of their young lives. They’ll be your buddy's best friend, or give him/her space if that's what they like. We can play, walk, hike, tinker around the property, or just kick back and relax so that your best friend can have a home away from home while you're at peace of mind. We are dog people! Thanks for considering We’ve got all the time in the world for your pet! Our schedules allow us to be there full time for your furry friend, and give them whatever care they need. We have a crew of regulars who rotate throughout the week, and all get along beautifully. We never take two new dogs at once, so we can be sure everyone is friendly and can fit in with our furry family. With us, your pet can get any quirky needs met. Whether it’s walks and hikes, or snuggles on the couch, we’ve got it taken care of. So that pick ups and drop offs are smooth, efficient and pleasant, we bring our dogs inside just prior to transitions. With that said, timing and punctuality are important to us that everyone has a great time, all of the time. Our schedules are generally wide open and one of us is always home, so we’d prefer you’d be hours late where we know as soon as you do, versus 15-20 minutes behind schedule without our awareness. This keeps our anticipation & transition windows short so everyone can have as much freedom as our space allows. Our phones are always on and active, so we’re never difficult to reach. Thanks for considering!
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, both personally and professionally. As a lifelong dog mom, I know firsthand how much our pets mean to us—they’re family. Beyond daily walks and playtime, I have experience with administering medications, caring for senior pets, and keeping anxious pups calm and comfortable. My background as a registered nurse has made me attentive, reliable, and detail-oriented, which carries over into the way I care for animals. You can trust that your pet will not only be safe with me, but also loved, spoiled, and treated with the same patience and compassion I give my own dogs. I am currently working part time and have availability in my schedule to love and care for your pet. I have pets of my own and would love nothing more than to have clients who are comfortable knowing they will receive care that is above and beyond. I treat all pets like they are my own. I have a fenced in yard where your pet can run and play. I also have spare rooms if they need to be separated for any reason, safety being my main concern.

“Samantha and her family are amazing. Honestly. My first time boarding my 3 month old puppy and they made it so easy. Communication and kindness!! Such genuine people. Thank you for everything!!”
“Saskia was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our two energetic dogs and our energetic cat, and we couldn't have been happier. She truly went above and beyond, staying in constant communication with us the whole time we were away and sending photos and updates that really put our minds at ease. She put an incredible amount of heart into caring for our pets—she easily gave one hundred and fifty to two hundred percent—and her response time was incredibly fast.”
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!
“We are so fortunate to have met Kyle. It is clear how much she loves dogs and goes to great lengths to be sure that they are comfortable. She sends lots of updates, pictures and videos, so the parents are put at ease as well. Our anxious pup was immediately at home, and came back happy and tired from all of the play. Thank you to our new friend Kyle for spoiling our fur baby!”
“They were great with Bailey, communicated just the right amount of times to help us feel at ease while far away, that he was doing okay. When he arrived home, he was calm and relaxed, and that's a sure sign for us that he was well cared for and felt comfortable. Would highly recommend and definitely will use them again. Thank you for letting us enjoy our time with our family without worrying about Bailey. :-)”
“Brad and Mery were excellent caretakers, consistently providing updates and pictures of our furry family member. We felt relaxed knowing she was in their care while we were away. Thanks Brad and Mery!! Woof!”
“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”
“Chelsea was amazing with our Lucea! We got great photo updates during her stay that helped us relax knowing Lucea was enjoying herself! We are so happy we found Chelsea and Tumbaros Clubhouse!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She helped us out when we were in a pinch and needed dog sitting for a weekend with only one days notice! We had never had Lucy boarded anywhere before and we were a bit nervous about the process, but it went so smoothly! She sent pictures to reassure my kiddos she was being well taken care of! I would definitely recommend her services and will be using her again for dog sitting in the future!”
“Alyson was wonderful! She was very patient with my dogs, even when they got nervous and peed on her floor. They quickly warmed up to her and her dog, and from the photos she sent, it was obvious they were having a great time. I will definitely rebook with Alyson.”
“Lori is excellent! Our energetic golden retriever stayed with Lori for a week. She greeted us at the door and allowed us to settle him in before we left for a week. She has a great, comfortable space for dogs, including a large fenced in yard. She has a friendly dog and was sure to introduce them slowly and safely. She made sure Louie was safe, even removing stuffed toys he might ingest. She takes the dogs for walks, including the dog park. She was a great communicator and even sent pics of the dogs playing. She also gave Louie a bath before we picked him up! We will definitely use Lori again. Couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Rocky clearly enjoyed his stay with his new friends, although happy to see me he clearly was upset leaving Bear, whined half way home and slept like a rock ! Thanks again to Mike and we will look forward to our next stay :)”
“Anthony and Jane were fantastic. Great communicators, really nice setup on their property with tons of space and a fenced yard. My dog got along well with theirs. Will definitely book again.”
“My dog seemed very comfortable with Daniel. She didn’t cry when I left like she usually does. Overall if I need a sitter again I would use him.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jennifer and couldn’t have felt better about leaving Moose and Maggie in her care. From our initial meet-and-greet through the entire stay, Jennifer was warm, attentive, communicative, and genuinely invested in making sure both dogs were happy and well cared for. Moose is a senior Great Pyrenees with some mobility limitations and additional care needs, and Jennifer went above and beyond for him. She was patient and compassionate, adapted walks and activities to what he was comfortably able to do, helped him when he needed assistance, stayed on top of his medications, and made sure he was comfortable and included. At the same time, she made sure Maggie received just as much individual attention and plenty of activity suited to her energy level. Jennifer sent frequent updates and so many wonderful photos throughout their stay, which we really appreciated. Her mom was also wonderful with the dogs, and it was clear that Moose and Maggie received so much attention and affection while they were there. Jennifer was also incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the stay, which made everything much easier for us. We’re extremely grateful for the care they received and would absolutely trust Jennifer with them again. I know Moose and Maggie will be very happy when they realize they’re headed back for another stay!”
