“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!”
“Sheronda was a great sitter for my elderly poodle! She provided updates and photos and was very conscientious about a couple of special instructions I left. Sheronda is highly reliable and very personable. I highly recommend her!”
“Jenifer took great care of Jax, encouraging the manners we have trained him with, giving him plenty of attention and exercise, as well as provide updates to us throughout the weekend. She is very communicative and accommodating with pick up and drop and just a genuinely nice human who loves dogs. we would absolutely recommend her and book with her again.”
“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 💜🫶🏾💜”
“Chris was a wonderful sitter. With Chris, you also get Jia, his girlfriend, as a bonus second sitter who loves dogs. Bentley made immediate friends upon the preliminary meet and greet. The couple has no pets currently, so they were able to give Bentley loads of personal attention and play time. Chris lives near Washington Park, so Bentley had plenty of grassy area to run around and meet other dogs. Chris and Jia worked with our high energy, young pyredoodle, so Bentley would respond to commands more readily. We highly recommend booking with Chris.”
“We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!”
“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”
“This was the first time I have left my Westie in 9.5 years. Debbie was very easy to work with and Lady settled in quickly and was very comfortable with Debbie and her dogs. She has a great fenced yard and sent pictures throughout the weekend to keep us informed. I highly recommend Debbie and will ise her again.”
“Bodie and Knox were so tired after their week long stay. They just about didn’t move for nearly two days. We are so grateful for accepting them on fairly short notice. We will definitely bring the boys back in the future. I’m more than pleased with the service and accommodations. Also a timely communicator. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Cache was absolutely amazing with our puppy Nala! She sent consistent updates, and Nala seemed to have so much fun when she was there. 1,000,000% would recommend and most definitely will be a repeat client!”
“Richelle has been amazing. She met with myself and Eevee and she was professional, loving accommodating. She understood what Eevee's needs were and was able to explain them to me. Helped with Eevee trying to socialize with her own dogs. Her home was clean, serene and definitely accepting. I will book her again.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“My dog stayed two nights and two days with Brooke and was very happy. Pip (my dog) got a little snappy with Brooke's dog Suki when they were first meeting, and both Brooke and Suki were very chill about it. Brooke told me everyone settled down quickly and reported a good stay. Her calm inspired confidence. Good communication. I was disappointed to find on arrival that the yard is not yet fenced as advertised, but Brooke let the dogs play outside leashed. I believe they are working on the fence. Great dog sitter!”
“Where do I even begin? Heidi and her family were life savers. I had a different host that I had booked well over a month before my trip, and on the day of drop off I could not get a hold of her. I was in pure panic mode, and I found Heidi. She lives even closer to my home so that was another bonus. I got all the pictures and updates constantly. She treated my fur baby as if she were her own. She gave my girl a homemade pup cup, sweet potato and rice on her food, and all the snuggles. I know that she was truly in the best hands, and the first host falling through was a blessing in disguise. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Lydia was absolutely wonderful with my dog Paddy, I couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy and comfortable the entire time. She sent multiple pictures and updates every day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind, it was clear they were truly spending quality time together. They even did activities like yoga and went on multiple car rides, which I loved seeing. When I came to pick Paddy up after a few days, she didn’t even want to leave Lydia, which says everything about how well she was cared for and how much attention and affection she received. I would highly recommend Lydia to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. I will absolutely book with her again!”
“Jasper seemed very happy and well cared for when we picked him up. He needed a bit of extra care in the beginning of his stay. Deanne followed all of the instructions perfectly. Deanne sent lots of updates and pictures during his stay.”

“Leslie did an amazing job taking care of our cats. They are usually very shy around guests. They all came out to greet her and get some pets. Leslie was flexible and went early one day to clean up a great mess. I hope Leslie and s available for future pet care. I highly recommend her.”
“Anna was awesome!! I really appreciated her updates and communication. She left the house in great shape. Most importantly, my cat Azi clearly adored her, and I could travel knowing he was safe and happy. Will definitely hire again :)”
About: I’ve had cats for my entire life and have been volunteering at animal shelters since the beginning of 2024! I have a great understanding of cat body language and experience working with everything from shy or semi-feral shelter cats to my own spoiled indoor cats.
“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.”
“Linda did a great job taking care of our cats. She communicated the throughout the time with updates and pics. Kitties were happy and seemed well cared for. Would definitely be happy to have Linda next time we have to be away!! Thanks Linda.”
“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!”
“Was great with our 2 cats. Feed, them both, and gave medicine to our Lucky. Spent time petting and playing with them. Arrived on time, and sent pictures of our precious babies. We will hire again. The cats each gave her 2 paws up. :)”
“Jenna & Aidan must have done an excellent job taking care of my cat as she didn't yell at me for hours upon my return home!! She was as happy as could be. J&A were very responsive, and timely. I appreciated their willingness to meet up a head of time to see the lay of the land. I would use them again in a heart beat.”
About: Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've cared for many happy, healthy cats over the years, each with their own unique personality and routine. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers quiet companionship, I'll provide attentive, stress-free care while respecting their individual needs. You can count on regular updates and plenty of love while you're away. (The picture above was from a rescue when I volunteered at HEART Animal Rescue in Hamburg NY)
About: I work at a dog daycare and was trained to watch and care for various breeds of dogs. I am experienced with feeding and bathing dogs as well. I have grown up with dogs in my house ever since I was a little girl. The love I share and receive from these fur babies brings me so much joy. I will have plenty of time on weekends and even during the week to care for your fur babies. I am able to take your dog(s) on walks when I am not at doggie daycare! I will provide my undivided attention to your dog(s). I will provide love and fun through our day. I will make sure the area inside and outside is clean and safe.
“Always does such an amazing job watching my girl. I usually only book for 1-2 days but went away for 5 this weekend, leaving more detailed instructions and she followed every step thoroughly and took great care of my Jupiter! Will continue to rebook with Ashley (:”
“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!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was born. I'm patient, attentive, and skilled at administering medications and handling special diets. The most important job is to protect all pets and making sure they get the love they deserve. Right now I am not employed so I am always free. I am currently looking for a job that is only during the week days so I can have weekends free. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play, rest, and feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, and medication if needed. For in-home visits, I respect the client’s space while ensuring their pet feels secure and cared for. I keep pets engaged with walks, playtime, and companionship, always giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Cleanliness, safety, and communication are my top priorities in any setting.
“Kania puts my mind at ease when I'm out of town and require someone to care for Lux! She was very flexible and was able to accommodate a stressful last minute change of plans and still made sure Lux was looked after!”

“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!!”
“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!”
“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: 🐾🏡 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.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and families dogs. I had a Shitzu named Bella who I rescued in 2016 and she was older and had some health issues. I gave her the best life! She passed in Feb 2019 and will always be in my heart! Ava was born in 2020 and I got her when she was 8 weeks old. She is my love❤️ I treat every dog as I would my own with love and care❤️ Reach out and schedule a meet and greet before booking and we can get to know each other and introduce the dogs❤️ My current schedule is I am home full time. Ava loves to play and we go out several times a day for potty and play in my fenced in back yard, I have a fenced in yard. My dog Ava is 5 years old and she loves adults and children. She is very friendly and would love to play with your dog.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“This guy is absolutely fantastic. I have a GSD who I used to have to pry away from me to get him to go to a kennel. He's had a total transformation since coming here. He plays all day, he's allowed to sleep in the bed if he wants to, and when he became anxious, Awoo gave him the extra attention he was looking for. Awoo's calm, gentle demeanor puts both of my dogs at ease. And he makes sure all of the pups have a good time here. I'm so glad to have found this place.”
“Will always always always leave Macie with Cache whenever I’m in Albany and need someone I trust to watch her. Macie simply loves Cache and seems to know when we’re on our way over 🤣. I’m grateful for Cache’s flexibility and how easy it is to communicate with her 🫶🏼.”
About: Active, reliable, and always happy to get outside! My own dog is my companion, and I understand how much your pup means to your family. I offer flexible drop-in visits and walks. Whether it’s a quick midday break or coverage while you travel. You can count on regular updates and genuine care of your best friend 🐶 Avid traveler who is currently working on my own professional freelance projects while I am home for the summer. I have the flexibility to drop by or host based on your pups needs. I prioritize your dog’s safety above all else. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash and collar at all times - no exceptions. We stick to familiar neighborhood routes, and I’m constantly aware of traffic, other dogs, and any signs of stress or discomfort. Trust is built through communication 🤝 You’ll get photo and text updates during every visit so you can see exactly what your pup is up to. I respond quickly to messages and always follow your specific instructions about routes, bathroom breaks, and your dog’s individual needs. Before our first meeting, I’ll do a quick meet and greet to make sure we’re a good fit and to learn about your dog’s personality, quirks, and preferences. That way, nothing surprises either of us!
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”

“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!”
“I was able to book with Linda under some tight time constraints, she was super flexible and made time for a quick meet and greet before booking. She has a very calm energy and did great with my beagle who was a little stressed after a long move from CA. Loved the pictures and updates she sent, highly recommend for anyone in the area :)”

“This was my first experience entrusting my puppy with a dog walker, and Lydia exceeded my expectations. She’s very communicative, open to my requests, and took great care of my little girl. Lydia also takes the cutest pictures! I’d recommend her, and I’ll be a repeat client for sure.”

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.

Currently, I am available after 3:00pm and on weekends but at the end of June, I will be available anytime during the day. I have July and August off. I will make sure that your pet is safe at all times. I have two dogs of my own, so I would prefer to only care for pets at the clients home. I currently do drop in visits for one client and I always send her pictures and at least two videos during my drop in visit.

“Sheronda was a great sitter for my elderly poodle! She provided updates and photos and was very conscientious about a couple of special instructions I left. Sheronda is highly reliable and very personable. I highly recommend her!”
“Chris was a wonderful sitter. With Chris, you also get Jia, his girlfriend, as a bonus second sitter who loves dogs. Bentley made immediate friends upon the preliminary meet and greet. The couple has no pets currently, so they were able to give Bentley loads of personal attention and play time. Chris lives near Washington Park, so Bentley had plenty of grassy area to run around and meet other dogs. Chris and Jia worked with our high energy, young pyredoodle, so Bentley would respond to commands more readily. We highly recommend booking with Chris.”
“We couldn’t have been happier with our first experience leaving our dog with Kyle. Her love of dogs is obvious. She took such good care of him and kept in regular contact with us with pictures and videos. He came home happy and unstressed. Actually, I’m not sure he wanted to come home 😆. We definitely recommend her!”
“Bodie and Knox were so tired after their week long stay. They just about didn’t move for nearly two days. We are so grateful for accepting them on fairly short notice. We will definitely bring the boys back in the future. I’m more than pleased with the service and accommodations. Also a timely communicator. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Cache was absolutely amazing with our puppy Nala! She sent consistent updates, and Nala seemed to have so much fun when she was there. 1,000,000% would recommend and most definitely will be a repeat client!”
“Richelle has been amazing. She met with myself and Eevee and she was professional, loving accommodating. She understood what Eevee's needs were and was able to explain them to me. Helped with Eevee trying to socialize with her own dogs. Her home was clean, serene and definitely accepting. I will book her again.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Where do I even begin? Heidi and her family were life savers. I had a different host that I had booked well over a month before my trip, and on the day of drop off I could not get a hold of her. I was in pure panic mode, and I found Heidi. She lives even closer to my home so that was another bonus. I got all the pictures and updates constantly. She treated my fur baby as if she were her own. She gave my girl a homemade pup cup, sweet potato and rice on her food, and all the snuggles. I know that she was truly in the best hands, and the first host falling through was a blessing in disguise. I would definitely book with her again!”
“Jasper seemed very happy and well cared for when we picked him up. He needed a bit of extra care in the beginning of his stay. Deanne followed all of the instructions perfectly. Deanne sent lots of updates and pictures during his stay.”
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!
“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!”
“Jayla was patient with Luna (she's kind of a chicken) eventually Luna warmed up to her and seemed to have a blast. Jayla did a good job of keeping us updated and responding to my check in texts. Luna really liked her, I would use Jayla again to watch my fur monster”
“Kimberly was very nice to my kittens. She sent me at least 2 pictures per day and updated me daily. For sure she will be my choice for future whenever I need to leave my cats in the future again.”
“Jude was wonderful! Very caring and loving! Great backyard for our chocolate to run in! She sent updates and pics and videos daily which was great! I would give her 10 stars!”
“It was a great experience!! It was a last minute booking and they did everything they could to help out and I greatly appreciate it. There is no doubt they care about their clients. I will definitely use them again.”
“Chelsea was amazing and I would highly recommend. She administered insulin shots for my dog and accommodated my dog’s special needs. Her family was very caring and loved having my dog over for the short stay.”
