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 💜🫶🏾💜

About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I offer morning dog walks or dog/cat drop-ins before 11:00 AM and evening dog walks or drop-ins after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their pets get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I am available most weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.

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. 🫶🏼

Catherine and her family were amazing. She responded to my request almost immediately after I posted for an overnight boarding need for the same day. This was Emma’s first time spending the night with a non-relative and did experience separation anxiety. Catherine was very patient with her and tried different ways to make her feel more comfortable. She took her for a long walk and refocused her energy using a kong filled with treats I provided. She made me aware of her anxiety after she was calm and sent me pictures to assure me she was okay. She also told me not to worry. Emma also had a hard time at bed time but eventually fell asleep on the couch. Emma did better the next day as she was feeling loved!

Debbie was great! We left our 1st time boarder w/ her very last minute when our weekend getaway informed us they no longer allow dogs. I was SUPER anxious to leave her, especially w/ a "stranger", but Debbie sent me lots of updates & pictures to ease my mind. By the time we picked her up, her tail was wagging, her ears were up & she was visibly relaxed & happy. Debbie also has a great, fenced-in side yard for the pups to run around in. We will be trusting here again to watch Molly.

Our dog was very happy with Jennifer. We are so happy to have found her. She's kind and gentle and she worked with us when we had unknowns about our needs because of a funeral we had to travel for. We were trying to book without full details of when and where we had to be. We feel very fortunate she was willing to be flexible. Our pup was happy that he was the only one she had with her during his stay. He got all of her love and attention. Thank you, Jennifer.

I've finally found the best sitter. Heidi and her family took my dog Romeo into her home for a weekend and treated him with love and respect. She sent me updates and pictures of Romeo throughout the day. There were other pets at her place that Romeo got along with very well. I can tell he made some great buddies. She even cooked rice for him(Romeo loves rice) and gave him treats! Communication was great from start to end. I think my Romeo boy misses her already. Thanks Heidi!!!

Stephanie was amazing. We met her once and knew she was the right choice. She was easily able to handle providing medication and special nutritional needs for our two older girls, as well as, keeping our younger guy busy with plenty of playtime. Steph sent plenty of pictures each day along with a detailed recap of each visit. When we were delayed 2 days getting home from our trip she was happy to extend our agreement to help us out of the jam. I would recommend to anyone needing care for their animals… as long as we don’t need her first!

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 😭)

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!

I’ve learned how to understand and adapt to each cat’s individual personality, routine, and needs.

I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs cats, administering medications, following specific feeding or care routines, and giving extra patience and attention when needed. I know how much trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat yours like one of my own. I’m happy to send photos and videos throughout my visits and can even FaceTime so you can check in on your kitty while you’re away!

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!!

Exceptional people! They are extremely responsive and were very welcoming. We set up a meet and greet to make sure Sheba would get along with Bear which made me feel comfortable that I was leaving Sheba in good, capable hands. I get several updates throughout the day which is awesome and they are very flexible with times. 10/10 would recommend to a friend or anyone that needs doggy daycare. Thanks for being awesome guys!

About: 🐾🏡 About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner, trainer, and former kennel manager with experience caring for all breeds, ages, and personalities. My home is active and structured, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and enrichment. I currently share my home with Border Collies, Labradors, and a few mixed breeds, and we’re active in dog sports like frisbee, obedience, and dock diving. Whether your dog is social or needs their own space, I can accommodate them — as long as they are people-friendly. I strive to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you have peace of mind. 🐶 What Your Dog Can Expect Safe, structured, and enriching days: Morning play/walks, breakfast, digest & rest breaks, afternoon activities, and evening wind-down. Large fenced backyard + indoor play area for all weather. Crate-based routine for meals, rest, and overnight for safety and comfort. Daily updates: Photos, videos, and notes so you stay connected. Personalized attention based on your dog’s personality, energy, and needs. 📍 Convenient Location Just 3 miles from Albany Airport Near I-87, I-90, and I-88 — perfect for travelers ✅ What I Provide Expansive fenced yard & indoor play space Wide collection of dog equipment (bring only collar, leash, and food) Experience with puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and multiple breeds Knowledge of breed-specific needs, safety, and bloat prevention 📌 What I Need From You Vaccinations required: Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella Crate-trained dogs only What to bring: Collar, leash, and food (please no beds) Daycare: All daycare dogs require to ha e a m&g and a trial day before being able to book freely. Drop-Ins/House Sitting: Meet & Greet required. Keyless entries only, will not keep keys. 🗓 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Morning: 6:00–7:30 AM Evening: 6:00–7:30 PM No Saturday evenings or holiday exchanges Please specify a time to avoid overlap — residential area, so we keep things calm for neighbors and dogs 💬 Meet & Greets Recommended for all new clients Please schedule at least 2 weeks prior to your stay 📅 Routine & Peak Season Peak Season: May 1 – September 30 Structured routine: multiple outdoor sessions, playtime, meals with digestion breaks, rest periods — no free-for-all boarding ✨ Why Choose Me? I live and breathe dogs — training, sports, and overall enjoyment are my passion. Your pup will get safe, structured care, plenty of exercise, and personal attention while you get peace of mind and daily updates. We keep a very rigid structured routine. Our day starts between 6-7am, with initial let outs--group play if appropriate to get that morning energy out. Then we settle in for breakfast time, all dogs rest 30 minutes prior to meals, 30 minutes to eat, then followed by another 30-60 minutes to digest. This helps prevent bloat( while any size dog CAN bloat--most often occurs in larger/deep chested breeds, but I take no chances). We then are in and out throughout the rest of the day when dinner time commences between 5-6pm, repeating the same 30-30-30/60 routine. Last let outs and romps wrapping up around 10-11pm. I don't operate a free for all. Fully fenced in yard. Specifically zoned areas for potting and play. Daily house keeping services including vacuuming and daily crate wipe down and disinfection. Dogs are outside as much as we can be, under direct supervision weather permitting.

Kania worked great with the new puppy of mine. Wattsin returned further developed each time for the few days of care he was consecutively dropped off for, along with excitement to see her and the family for each play date following. It was a pleasure working with not only caregivers as such, but genuine people... and doggies. Highly recommend! Could not thank them enough.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Been boarding and running daycare full time for 10+ years. I have studied dog behaviors, CPR trained, used to train and have spent my life learning dogs. Part of my business is even making pet products like bow ties, bandanas, toys, healthy treats, signs and organic paw wax. I run my boarding and daycare full time. It is what i live every day. I board 7 days a week and run daycare Tues-Fri We have a large dog specific room which daycare is run out of (while boarding your dog can join daycare for no extra cost) this room has a dog door that leads to the large fenced in yard. Once daycare is complete or dog dependent, the door comes open and the pups join our pack (2) snuggling on the couch and begging in the kitchen 😉

About: I’ve owned animals my whole life, but didn’t get into professional animal care till about 2 years ago. Since then I have worked at several daycares and been the Assistant Manager at one! I’ve been around all types of pups from your most nervous dogs to your ultra reactive barkers. I’m always willing to work with you and your dogs! I have plenty of time to see your pups as I work primarily in the morning. I am also very flexible with drop-ins and can do most last minute appointments. DISCLAIMER: I do not stay overnight for my house-sitting requests. I have 5 dogs of my own that while I’d love to bring them with me, I cannot. I am able to be there first thing in the AM and as late as needed in the afternoon. My own pup loves other dogs so if you’re comfortable with your pup having a doggy friend, she is able to tag along! I am comfortable with any necessary oral medication administering, normal feedings, and normal play time with the pups! I am also able to do light training if interested. If needed, I can also do nail trims for an additional price.

While I pursue this, I also work full time in an animal emergency clinic. I have had 2+ years of animal emergency experience, including large dogs and cats, and even reptiles like snakes! I am comfortable pilling animals and have direct access to emergency care 24/7 in case your fur babies need it❤️. I currently own 2 cats of my own and a ball python. I’ve owned large dogs my whole life including a Cane Corso & Giant Schnauzer! I currently work full time in the animal emergency clinic. My schedule is Tuesday 11a-11p - Friday 7a-7p - Saturday 1p-1a and I do pick up shifts here and there. With this being said, I can come by before and/or after my shifts. I am currently not accepting boarding as my current living situation is not feasible for more animals than I currently own. I can care for pets in your home!

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.

About: I’m a beginner on Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years through friends and family, and it’s something I truly love doing. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs with all kinds of personalities, high-energy pups, shy dogs, older dogs, and everything in between, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique needs. I also have a 10-year-old dog of my own, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and understanding how dogs communicate. He’s a bit odd and thrives when he’s kept to his routine. He loves people but there are a few dogs in my neighborhood who he has decided he'd rather avoid so I’m familiar with sticking to a routine and dealing with each dog's unique quirks! It is important to me that every pet feels safe and comfortable. While I’ve never owned a cat myself, I’ve taken care of a few and really enjoyed the experience. I’m always happy to learn their routines and make sure they feel just as cared for and relaxed while you’re away. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by making sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work full time as a Medical Assistant at a Private Family Practice. I’m applying to Physician Assistant School this spring and am working to get experience while I finish my applications. My hours are 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. I don’t have time during my work day to stop in to let pets out or feed them and am best suited to do walks, feedings, and keep company in the early morning or evenings. My weekends are typically open and flexible as I am able to stay at the house all day but prefer to drop by several times throughout the day for whatever care is necessary. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities while staying in your home. I make it a point to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s behavior, boundaries, and personality to ensure they feel safe and respected. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re relaxing at home or out for a walk. I also make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secure at all times. I respect your home just as much as your pet. I keep things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. Communication is very important to me, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you’re away so you always know how your pet is doing. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention, and that your home will be in good hands.

About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I offer morning dog walks or dog/cat drop-ins before 11:00 AM and evening dog walks or drop-ins after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their pets get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I am available most weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.

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!

Our cat loved it with Emma and made herself right at home. She was great with pictures, notes, and even sent a little video. I'm excited to have someone I trust with Charlotte. Thank you to Emma and her lovely roommate.

I’ve booked Kevinh twice now, this time was a last minute, long-term arrangement. He was just as wonderful with Zula as he was the first time. He’s incredibly attentive to her needs, and I can see she adores him. He’s excellent! Absolutely no complaints at all.

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. 🫶🏼

Sheronda and her family are awesome! They loved having another pug in the house. Elly loved having a pug friend and running with Molly as well as Chewy was great fun for her. We would highly recommend Sheronda as your next dog sitter.

Mike was amazing with our dog Oli when we went on vacation. He sent pictures and kept us up to date on how he was doing. It was so comforting to know Oli was in good hands while we were away. I would highly recommend.

So glad she was available on such short notice. I’ve gone through Maggie with ordering my pups raw food, and had heard nothing but great things about her and decided to give it ago. Anytime you come home with a tired dog you sure know he had a good time! Thank you Maggie!!

I've finally found the best sitter. Heidi and her family took my dog Romeo into her home for a weekend and treated him with love and respect. She sent me updates and pictures of Romeo throughout the day. There were other pets at her place that Romeo got along with very well. I can tell he made some great buddies. She even cooked rice for him(Romeo loves rice) and gave him treats! Communication was great from start to end. I think my Romeo boy misses her already. Thanks Heidi!!!

I left Leo with Lori for four day and I feel comfortable leaving him again for a longer trip. She was very welcoming and was comfortable managing different dog temperaments. I would have liked some updates, but I know she had a full house with five dogs.

Peg was super accommodating. We had to delay our flight 24 hours from snow storm alert and she was so willing to sit for Bruno for additional day. She sent pictures everyday and kept us updated. My dog seemed happy with her dogs. Definitely will use her again in future.
