“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!”
“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!”
“We are so glad we found Brigid. Our dog, Roscoe, was comfortable with her right away when we had our meet-and-greet. Brigid asked good questions and took notes. She and her house are well-suited for a little dog visitor. She has a nice, fenced-in yard. Her couch is a cozy spot for napping, snuggling and looking out the window. Brigid stayed in touch with us leading up to our trip and while we were away. It was so fun for us to hear and see pictures of how Brigid and Roscoe were spending their time. I felt that they had developed a special bond and I can't wait to book Brigid again. I think Roscoe feels the same way.”
“Christopher and his wife did a wonderful job watching my Australian Shepherd. I appreciate the daily updates with pictures. She was well loved and cared for. Would book again.”
“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.”
“Our pup has become a bit of a regular at Maggie’s. Our dog always seems to have a great time and is well taken care of, but we also really appreciate Maggie’s communication and flexibility for each stay. She always goes above and beyond to make things easier for us. We are very happy to have found her!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lori worked with us and my dog even though had a difficult time while there and was a bit more challenging than I had realized he would be. Fox had grown to like her in the 5 days he was there and gave her a nice "hug" before he left.”
“Omg, we’re so thankful for Geena! Story time, so our previous sitter was unavailable but the app said she was available (technology lol). So we were worried because we didn’t have a backup plan and we needed a sitter for my grandma’s funeral. Geena was so helpful with last minute arrangements and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our fur babies for the day. She responded to all my messages, questions and even sent pictures. We were able to attend the funeral with no worries and even booked her again for our vacation. I would definitely recommend using her and we will continue to book with her. Thank you again 💜🫶🏾💜”
“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!!”
“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”
“Chelsea and Christopher took wonderful care of our pups Obi and Opal, we could leave them in their care and be rest assured they were safe and happy. They both have a very calm vibe which our pups need. lol. Our 1 year old Opal is definitely not chill and they didn’t make us feel bad about it which we appreciate. 😂 it was clear they loved their time and they look forward to their future booked stays with Chelsea and Christopher! Thank you both!”
“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. 🫶🏼”
“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.”

“My 2 senior cats are fragile. Deb is the only person I will trust them to when I'm traveling. Deb goes above and beyond in her care. When I return, the girls, act wonderful and seem disappointed it's me walking in the door not Deb. :) Thank you, Deb, for the love and great care you provide,”
“Nicole was wonderful! She took great care of our cat on short notice and sent photos that showed just how well our little guy was doing while we were away. We are so grateful for Nicole's help!”
“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!”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! With both my cats being terrified of people, she did a great job in giving them their space and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to come out and eat while she waited. This is the first time I’ve ever had to have somebody come over and feed them when I wasn’t home so I was extremely nervous, but everything went perfectly! (Even though she had to track them down for a picture at the end 😭)”
“Firstly, Kaeleigh is kind and reliable. You can tell she has a lot of experience with cats and I trust her with my own. One of the things I appreciated most was before she accepted the job was that she suggested to have a meet with the cats to make sure everyone was compatible. My cats loved her and I'm sure yours will too!”
“Alicia was very prompt, communicative, and accommodating of a last minute event on my calendar. She took great care of my cats for me while I was away, was observant, and did exactly what works best for them. She's very friendly and you can tell her love for animals is genuine. I also really appreciated the adorable pictures she took of them for me. I'd highly recommend her to anyone in need of pet care services and I'd definitely hire her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Bradley was the perfect pet sitter. He was communicative and responsive and treated my home with respect. He sent frequent updates and pictures of my cat. He even helped out when the cat went missing unexpectedly, offering to look for him and lending a cat carrier. I will be using Bradley again for sure and I recommend you use him for your pet needs too!”
“Nina is gold. Great cat sitter. My cats were very sick and she administered their medication and cared for them twice a day for this whole holiday weekend. She's also supportive about their illness. Highly recommend Nina.”
“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! 🤍”
“Hannah was the best sitter!! She kept my kitty entertained and very happy while I was away. I got lots of pictures and updates which I appreciated as well. Thanks Hannah!”
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!
“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.”

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.
“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: 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.
“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 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’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.
“Great first experience leaving my dog in their house for a day for daycare. Christopher and Chelsea both are very kind, sweet, patient and knowledgeable about caring for dogs. When I picked up, I can tell my baby is so happy, satisfied and well rested. Will definitely come back again!”
“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.”
“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!”

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.

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.

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.
“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.”
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!

“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.
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve had multiple jobs caring for senior dogs, puppies, and/or super anxious and reactive dogs. I’m very patient, diligent, and will love your babies like my own :) I have experience with walking, feeding, and basic grooming like bathing and nail cutting. I also dog sat for the president of my college’s two dogs! Willing to learn anything else you may need! I have recently graduated from college and am living in the Albany area for the time being. My schedule is very flexible. I may not be able to board dogs at my home at this time, as I do not live alone. I live in a tidy, quiet home with an unfenced yard. I may not be able to board dogs in my home at this time, but this could vary case by case (i.e. smaller, hypoallergenic dogs).
“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 :)”
“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!”
“Stephanie was very patient with my senior dog. She informed me about what happened each day. I am happy with my experience with Rover, and with Stephanie in particular.”
About: Physically fit, responsible and reliable pet lover. I have worked with cats, dogs and reptiles for over 27 years! I’d love to help your pet’s needs. I offer walks, house sitting and drop ins.

Please feel free to book me for multiple times during the day. I will make sure to feed, groom, walk, play and medicate your pets as needed. I’m very comfortable with most breeds and love making animals happy.
“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.”
“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!!”
“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.”

I am usually home all the time but if for some reason I have to leave they will be safe in one room. I have a 15 year old son who also loves animals and really wants a dog and this will also be an excellent opportunity for him to really learn what it is like taking care of a dog. your pet will be in great hands. So give us a call and we will treat your pet like the family member I know every pet owner wants
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.
“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!”
“Glenn and Diana’s care of my big dog has been such a weight off my shoulders. He has some special needs and they didn’t hesitate to help. Also so appreciative of the questions they ask and how much they care!”

“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!”
“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!”
“Christopher and his wife did a wonderful job watching my Australian Shepherd. I appreciate the daily updates with pictures. She was well loved and cared for. Would book again.”
“Our pup has become a bit of a regular at Maggie’s. Our dog always seems to have a great time and is well taken care of, but we also really appreciate Maggie’s communication and flexibility for each stay. She always goes above and beyond to make things easier for us. We are very happy to have found her!”
“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.”
“Lori worked with us and my dog even though had a difficult time while there and was a bit more challenging than I had realized he would be. Fox had grown to like her in the 5 days he was there and gave her a nice "hug" before he left.”
“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!!”
“Chelsea and Christopher took wonderful care of our pups Obi and Opal, we could leave them in their care and be rest assured they were safe and happy. They both have a very calm vibe which our pups need. lol. Our 1 year old Opal is definitely not chill and they didn’t make us feel bad about it which we appreciate. 😂 it was clear they loved their time and they look forward to their future booked stays with Chelsea and Christopher! Thank you both!”
“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. 🫶🏼”
“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.”
“Christopher was great and came through for us for a quick weekend. Communication was great before, during, and after our dog’s stay with him. At drop off, he showed us around a bit, and explained how and where he was planning on playing with our dog. We talked about his feeding schedule, and he assured me that my dog would be fine. During the weekend, I got several pics and videos of my dog playing with Christopher. Not overbearing, but enough to show me that my pup was being cared for. At pickup, Chelsea was there, as Christopher had to work. She had our dog’s belongings ready to go, and said she and Christopher really enjoyed hanging out and playing (and snuggling) with our dog. This was our first experience with Rover, and I would say that I would certainly have Christopher and Chelsea care for our dog again.”
“Cache is absolutely amazing with our nervous boy, we appreciate all that she does for him while he’s there with her! He loves all the fruit he gets to snack on especially!”
“My dog can be anxious and shy around new people, so I felt incredibly guilty and worried when I dropped him off at Stephanie’s home for boarding for a last minute overnight work trip. But Stephanie was fantastic and very communicative while my dog was with her. She sent frequent updates and lots of pictures of him through out his stay that ease my mind and made me feel less guilty about leaving him with a stranger. And the biggest vote of confidence were all the pictures of him cuddling with her. I will definitely use her for future trips and dog walking in general.”
“I was very nervous about leaving my sweet little Betty while I had to leave town for a week. She usually goes with family! But Richelle took care of her as if she were family. She kept me at ease with regular correspondence and photos. Thank you so much!”
“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!”
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!
“Elizabeth was amazing! and very accommodating for my last minute request. Being that it was my first time leaving my own fur babies with a sitter, I felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing they were having a good time with Elizabeth, her husband, and her pup Cooper. We will definitely be using her again and I can't recommend her enough to others!”
