“Elvis came back from visiting his best friend, Bear, exhausted from playing and a happy boy. I am so happy we were able to find someone that takes large breed dogs and gives him the space he needs to run around.”
“It was my first time boarding a dog, ever! They made me feel so at ease leaving my baby with them. I honestly think she didn't wanna leave. I'm so grateful for the daily updates also. I'm so happy I chose them.”
“Natthinee and her husband were awesome. They were able to put my dog, Croissant, at ease in a very short time. He is a rescue that I’ve only had about five months and he is very wary and reactive towards new people. In about a half hour, he was sitting in Natthinee’s lap. Natthinee was very good keeping me updated on how Croissant was doing. She sent messages as well as pictures and videos. I was really amazed when I saw a picture of Croissant being carried by Natthinee’s husband. Croissant is very wary of men so that picture showed me just how good and caring they were with dogs they were caring for. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Brad and Mery were so great ! Cinco walked right in and relaxed. When I picked him up he was the same ! Brad and Mery were responsive during the booking process and were”
“Samantha and her partner Zachary took fabulous care of our two dogs for three days. They are both high energy young dogs, one 7 months and one 13 months old and we were worried that they were going to be a problem. They love each other, romping like crazy with each other indoors and out and Samantha and Zach had no problem dealing with them. When we went to pick them up, it was obvious that both dogs really liked their caregivers. What more can one hope for in someone taking care of their dogs? We will be using them again when we are back in the Albany area. Thank you, Samantha and Zachary! Clifford and Ann Wagner”
“Anna was fantastic! She sent me pictures and videos every day of my dog and kept me updated on his eating and playing. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed playing with my dog. I will definitely use her again.”
“So glad I found Tiffany when I was I unexpectedly needed boarding. As a first time boarder she made me feel incredibly comfortable and made the experience completely smooth and stress free. She has the perfect setup for the comfort of the dogs and I can tell my dog had a great experience in her care. Will definitely look to use her again for any future needs.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of individualized care and attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I truly get to know their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience training puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or mobility support. Whether your pup is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their unique temperament. I prioritize clear communication, regular photo updates, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine — I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.
“We don’t let anyone else watch our French bulldog. David takes her for plenty of walks, gives her lots of attention, and makes sure she gets her medication. She’s very happy with David, as are we!”
“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!”
“I’m very satisfied with Kathleen's service. She cared for my puppy excellently. This was my first experience, and I am glad my Simba found a caring home while I’m away. I travel for work and feel confident I can rely on her in the future. Thank you! Roya Ross”
About: My wife and I have both grown up with dogs and have been around them our entire lives. We understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and we take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Since I work from home full time, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will have plenty of companionship and won't be left alone for extended periods. I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely run and play. I also have a friendly, energetic 1-year-old Miniature Pinscher who loves to play. We lived in a quite neighborhood in Glenville.
“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!”
“Thank you so much Peg for taking such great care of Mugzy again. Peg and her family truly gave our puggle a warm and loving home while we were away. She sent daily pictures and updates on him which showed how much love he was getting. He was certainly treated like family. Thank you again and we will surely be back :)”
“Jen is amazing! She took such good care of our dog, sent updates with pictures, made sure our dog settled in with her dogs and was really sweet. I can’t wait to have our dog stay with her again!”

“Best sitter we've had from Rover so far. (We have talked to several sitters, we liked and were highly qualified). Scott was above and beyond. He had Gremlin be a lap kitty (which he isn't usually, unless he'sstressed) and gave him extra love. It was Gremlin's first time w/o his people since he lost his housemate Dany. Will definitely be our first go to from now on.”
“We’re so grateful to have found Gillian! She did an amazing job taking care of our kitties – everything was clean, the cats were happy, and we came home with peace of mind. It’s been hard finding someone who’s reliable and attentive to cleanliness, so we’re incredibly thankful! Definitely recommend!”
“I would highly recommend Megan. She is very reliable, informative, and caring. She was taken care of our two cats several times. We plan on requesting her service again in the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we count ourselves lucky to have had Nadia to take care of our two Siamese cats in our home. She was terrific in communicating how things were going each day and kept us updated (and stress-free!) with photos from her visits. She even cleaned up the occasional kitty barf and litter mess around the pan! Aside from doing all of these wonderful things to keep our pets feeling cared for in their own home, she is a lovely person to work with. We hope she'll want to work with us again!”
“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”
“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!”
“Sarah did great with our cats…very reliable and a good cat photographer! She spent a good 30 mins each visit. Kept things tidy, even wound our grandfather clock for us. Would love to book her again.”
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages, from tiny 4-week-old kittens to 11-year-old seniors. This has taught me how to adjust my care to each cat’s needs and personality! Whether they’re playful and curious or prefer a quiet, cozy corner. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on keeping your cat safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Cindy does a great job. She's very kind and thorough. And she's reliable as well as supportive. I truly appreciate her help with my kitty when I have to go away. I will definitely book her again ☺️”
“Jack did a great job coming over to take care of our cats while we were out for a week. One of them is diabetic and Jack used the insulin we provided and he's doing great now that we're back home. He came consistently and reliably every day which was necessary for the insulin and all the cats were fed as instructed. Would highly recommend!”
“My cat (Molly) is very shy and usually the cat sitters never see her at all. Molly loved Elizabeth and let her pet her! She is a wonderful cat sitter and I would use her again.”
“Julianne was easy to reach, flexible and has great communication before, during and after the visit. She is reliable and took the time to play with our puppy and even sent me pictures. We will definitely use her again.”
“We were so worried about leaving our new rescue alone for more than 5 hours and then we went to rover and I found Madeline 10/10 she is so caring and loving to the dogs it clearly comes natural to her she followed everything down to the last detail perfectly. Our dog used to bark for hours when we left … after she is with her my dog seems so content and happy. 1000% recommend!!!”

“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!”
“Gillian and Mitch and their four pups are absolutely amazing. They were so welcoming of Biscuit, who fit right in with the pack and had a blast. Came home completely tired and ready for dinner and sleep! Gillian kept me posted if his activities throughout the day. We will definitely go back to her.”
“Our pup has not done a lot of doggy day care, but she seemed to really enjoy her time with Tiffany and her dogs. Tiffany sent great pictures and updates. Which was nice for us nervous dog parents. Definitely going to be a repeat customer.”
“Jack has been great with my dog. she goes twice a week for daycare and she is always excited to get there and never wants to leave. Jack has been very flexible and professional!”

“Luna had a great day with Brad and Mery. They’re very friendly caring folks and have a really nice house and yard to watch your favorite canine companions. We’d be happy to have her spend time with them anytime!”
“Jasper has been with Alexis not even an hour and I have already gotten an update and a video!!! 5 stars already! I just picked our very tired happy pup. He had a great day playing with his new friend Nala. Alexis was amazing. We found our regular doggy sitter!!!”

“Marianne was absolutely amazing! She took such good care of Nova sending pictures and videos throughout the day. She treats the pups just like her own giving them 1 on 1 attention, love, and care! I highly recommend Marianne and she has the BEST assistant, aka her lovely daughter.”
“David was able to book us within a few days notice and was very friendly and took great care of our dog. he communicated frequently and was able to work with Benders first time being at day care which I really appreciated. Would absolutely book again!”
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: With years of devoted pet care, puppy training, senior support, rescue volunteering with fostering, and animal‑care schooling, I bring heartfelt, family‑level love and patient, intuitive attention to every dog I care for. I have the proven track record with outstanding experience in rescue advocacy. My commitment to placing non-traditional and special-needs animals into permanent, supportive homes broadened my horizons and taught me truly the meaning of unconditional. With a Proven track record in navigating complex care challenges, I practiced and followed through n with matching high-need pets with dedicated adopters, and reframing physical differences as badges of resilience. Pet care is woven into my daily rhythm — from morning check‑ins to evening walks, caring for our three rescues in my wide, fenced‑in backyard is my daily cup of sunshine! Their love fuels my purpose and inspires me to help other pet parents care for their furbabies while they handle life’s responsibilities. My home was chosen with dogs in mind. Our wide, fenced‑in backyard offers shade, space, and freedom — originally built for our first rescue who needed safety, comfort, and room to explore. With no stairs inside, senior pups move easily and confidently. Every room is pet‑friendly, and dogs are welcome on furniture to relax as part of the family. Crates are available only if your dog feels safe choosing one — never forced. Our three rescues freely roam indoors and outside, receiving gentle, attentive care, and your furbaby will be treated with the same love, respect, and family‑level comfort. (Note on Profile History: If you scroll down, you will see two negative reviews from 7 years ago regarding scheduling issues. At that time, I lacked the firm boundaries I have today. I experienced burnout, took a long hiatus, and completely rebuilt my life and business. Today, I operate with strict capacity limits and automated schedule rules to ensure a flawless, ultra-safe care environment.) Caring for my three resident pup-rescues, 3 indoor cats, as well as our 13year old male cat who is feral, is my primary passion and my full-time daily focus. Because this is my dedicated lifestyle, I provide a highly structured and dependable environment for your furbaby. **(Note on my Review History: If you scroll down, you will see two negative reviews from 7 years ago regarding scheduling issues.

We began to call our home "Park-In-The-Yard on Lee Ave"-- Our backyard is a park, and every dog is treated like family. Our daily lives revolve around rescuing and fostering small and medium dogs. This patient & unconditional love became second nature to us. We open our hearts and our home to your furbabies, treating them exactly like members our own pack. Daycare operates Monday through Friday with a strict drop-off window between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM, aligning perfectly with my morning routine. Our weekend boarding begins on Friday evenings as daycare wraps up and runs through Monday morning. This predictable schedule ensures that transitions are always calm, organized, and stress-free for the dogs. **(Note on my Review History: If you scroll down, you will see two negative reviews from 7 years ago regarding scheduling issues.

I enforce strict safety boundaries: I only accept small-to-medium dogs and strictly limit care to a maximum of 3 guest dogs at any time. My home features a secure, attached garage breezeway that serves as a double-gated transition zone, ensuring no dog can ever bolt near the street during drop-offs.Inside, my home is a staircase-free, pet-friendly environment where dogs are welcome to lounge on the furniture, beds, or right in my lap. Crates are entirely optional and only used if a dog seeks one out for feeling safe and secure. Our wide, securely fenced chain-link backyard is a true outdoor paradise built for comfort, safety, and freedom to experience zoomies! A custom area with a patio cover which provides adequate shade and has a dedicated cooling station, cooling mats, and a small dog pool with a water hose for fun, safe summer splashing.
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring reliability, patience, and genuine love for pets to every booking. While I was in the Navy, I’ve consistently sought opportunities to care for others’ animals and now that my military service is over, I can’t wait to spend even more time with some four legged creatures. I excel with medium-sized dogs and active pups, but I can accommodate most breeds. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m living my best life as a stay at home dog mom while finishing up some schooling. I can provide daily walks and enrichment any day for however long your pup needs. My fenced in yard is perfect for play and I have extensive knowledge of trails in the area that are good for walks/runs. At this time, I am unable to accommodate staying in another dog’s home due to my own pup’s needs.

DAWNA60239 My profile: https://www.rover.com/sit/dawna60239 I have taken care of dogs since I was in my early teens. In addition, through the years, I have also been a pet parent to a horse, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, tropical fish, goldfish, and hamsters. Family and friends routinely ask me for pet care advice since I have had pets for so many years and trained my own puppies through self teaching. I also have experience administering medications. I care for my own four dogs on a daily basis ranging in age from 3 to 17 and have raised them from puppies. We have play time and snuggle time at different times each day. There is plenty of extra time and love each day to care for your fur baby too. I have a fenced yard on just under 1/2 acre, and my four dogs love to romp and play which is part of their daily routine. They also love long walks or going for a car ride. They are all crate trained and feel that their crate is their special place, so the doors are always open for them to have their alone/rest time when they want to after play time (if they are not trying to claim a spot on the couch or in the recliner). One especially likes the couch and the others love to sleep in bed at night.
“First time with Tatiana and couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be a repeat customer as she provides a great experience for our Stella❤️ Very accommodating as we had last minute change in drop off times. Highly recommended!”
“Lianna was absolutely wonderful! I could tell right away how much my 5 month old pup, Snowball, liked her. Snowball seemed so happy and relaxed when I picked her up, and Lianna was so kind as well! She was also so accommodating with a last minute scheduling conflict that I had. Absolutely would recommend!”
About: Hi, I'm Meg and I have been caring for and working with animals almost my entire life. Growing up I would come home constantly with some sort of new animal friend asking if I could keep it. My parents always said yes of course but were very strict when it came to caring for the animal myself, so I have learned a lot over the years. I currently own a dog, two reptiles a snake and a blue tongue skink, and two parrots a Nanday Conure and a green cheek conure. What makes me different I would suppose from other sitters and walkers is I have more in-depth knowledge when it comes to dogs and other animals. I worked at PetSmart for about 6 years and learned all about nutrition, proper toys, and techniques to help dogs and owners learn. I also worked in pet care where it was my job to know proper diets and habitats for reptiles, small animals, birds and fish. I needed to know signs of illness or stress. I moved on in the company as a certified dog trainer. I worked with all kinds of breeds and all sizes. From being a dog trainer I know signs of stress and anxiety and how to help a pet dealing with that. I can help with potty training, basic commands, loose leash walking, tricks and lots of other things. I love animals and couldn't Imagine living without them so I understand what its like to have that piece of mind while away.
About: I take pride in all thing's pets. I honestly like animals better than people ha-ha. I'm also a great trainer. I work from home as well so Im always available for cuddles. I work from home full-time so I always have time for playtime and cuddles between client appointments. My fur babies are also super sweet and playful so your fur baby is in great paws. I can provide any special attention needed. I have a yard and 4 large parks nearby for playtime. I can also easily crate your fur baby if needed. I can provide any special attention needed.

I have experience with all ages and breeds and can provide the greatest experience a pup can ask for. I am always available for whatever your friend may need. I am available anytime, day or night to care for your pets. I know pets sometimes cannot wait to get the care they need and I am able to place them first on my list. I currently have two dogs and foster another one. At my home I have land that allows the dogs to move freely while on an extended leash. My foster dog has their own space that is separated from the other two so they can feel comfortable with a place of their own. All dogs receive equal attention and love. If I am caring for your pets at your home I am able to stay overnight if requested.
About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve always had a pet in my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless animals through dog and cat sitting, and I’ve always felt a natural connection with them. One of the experiences I’m most proud of is helping reunite three lost dogs with their families. Animals have always been a part of who I am, and caring for them has never felt like a job—it has always felt like a calling. Starting September 4, I’ll have a flexible schedule and will be available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and dog or cat sitting throughout the day. This isn’t just a side hustle for me—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had pets since I was a child, cared for many dogs and cats over the years, and have even helped reunite three lost dogs with their families. I truly enjoy earning an animal’s trust and giving pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in loving, dependable hands. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re my own, I’d love the opportunity to help! One of the biggest benefits I offer is caring for your pets in the comfort of their own home. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress, keeps their daily routine consistent, and allows them to feel safe and secure while you’re away. Whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care—just as if you were home. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family members are happy, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best.

“Lianna was wonderful! I knew my fur baby was being well taken care of. She knew I was anxious leaving my baby so she sent me multiple pictures of every outing so I could see how Tessie was? She was prompt, fed Tessie and made sure she took her medicine everyday for her chronic condition. I highly recommend Lianna if you are in need of pet sitter/walker. I have already booked her again for my next out of town trip when I cannot take my baby.”

I started out volunteering in the shelters , & got to work with many service dogs while being in the military. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes. I’ve learned how to deal with dogs with anxiety, aggression, and being timid. I believe dogs truly are mans best friend which is why I want to protect and love them the same way they do us. I am currently in school studying animal behavior, I find the animal mind in general fascinating. My goal is to one day open a no kill shelter where dogs have no time limit on how long they can stay and never have the fear of being neglected. While your pooch is with me they will have fun, learn new tricks , engage in activities that stimulate there mind and feel at ease in the comfort of my home or there own. I have a high energetic puppy who loves to play all day so high energetic puppies, and adult dogs are super welcomed. I currently work 3 days out of the week Sunday-Tuesday. That gives me plenty of time with your pup during the rest of the week and makes my availability very flexible Although I do not have a fenced backyard we have a gate we put up in the back when the dogs are outback to ensure there safety as well as the other dogs around the neighborhood

“Elvis came back from visiting his best friend, Bear, exhausted from playing and a happy boy. I am so happy we were able to find someone that takes large breed dogs and gives him the space he needs to run around.”
“Brad and Mery were so great ! Cinco walked right in and relaxed. When I picked him up he was the same ! Brad and Mery were responsive during the booking process and were”
“Samantha and her partner Zachary took fabulous care of our two dogs for three days. They are both high energy young dogs, one 7 months and one 13 months old and we were worried that they were going to be a problem. They love each other, romping like crazy with each other indoors and out and Samantha and Zach had no problem dealing with them. When we went to pick them up, it was obvious that both dogs really liked their caregivers. What more can one hope for in someone taking care of their dogs? We will be using them again when we are back in the Albany area. Thank you, Samantha and Zachary! Clifford and Ann Wagner”
“Anna was fantastic! She sent me pictures and videos every day of my dog and kept me updated on his eating and playing. I could tell she genuinely enjoyed playing with my dog. I will definitely use her 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!”
“I’m very satisfied with Kathleen's service. She cared for my puppy excellently. This was my first experience, and I am glad my Simba found a caring home while I’m away. I travel for work and feel confident I can rely on her in the future. Thank you! Roya Ross”
“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!”
“Thank you so much Peg for taking such great care of Mugzy again. Peg and her family truly gave our puggle a warm and loving home while we were away. She sent daily pictures and updates on him which showed how much love he was getting. He was certainly treated like family. Thank you again and we will surely be back :)”
“Jen is amazing! She took such good care of our dog, sent updates with pictures, made sure our dog settled in with her dogs and was really sweet. I can’t wait to have our dog stay with her again!”
“We are so happy we chose Camilla to look after our 4 month old puppy Korra. It was obvious how much she understood the dogs she was caring for. She was so good with Korra and I felt like she got as much if not more love and attention than we give her. I love that she took her out on outings to the dog park to exercise and play.”
“This is our 3rd or 4th time booking with John and he never disappoints! He is always such a pleasure and was even able to help us out last minute AND over a holiday weekend! He takes such great care of our elderly dog who usually doesn’t do well in new environments. We are so thankful to have found John :)”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring reliability, patience, and genuine love for pets to every booking. While I was in the Navy, I’ve consistently sought opportunities to care for others’ animals and now that my military service is over, I can’t wait to spend even more time with some four legged creatures. I excel with medium-sized dogs and active pups, but I can accommodate most breeds. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m living my best life as a stay at home dog mom while finishing up some schooling. I can provide daily walks and enrichment any day for however long your pup needs. My fenced in yard is perfect for play and I have extensive knowledge of trails in the area that are good for walks/runs. At this time, I am unable to accommodate staying in another dog’s home due to my own pup’s needs.
“I can not recommend Alexis enough! She is amazing. She gave us updates, loved on our dog like he was her own, and took amazing care of him. We have never left our dog with anyone other than family, and this was hands down the best experience!!”
“Kassandra and Johnathan were great with our Puppy Leo! He is a big ball of energy and they were great with him and he loved playing with their dog Charlie. I would recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely bring Leo back when we need boarding again!”
“Both Koda and Dulcie loved their stay at Megan’s with all of the welcoming friends. Megan was very understanding of Koda being reactive towards dogs and made no judgements about him which was a huge relief. She sent lots of pictures of the dogs out and about having a blast, Dulcie made all the dog friends and was right at home. We will definitely have our dogs vacation with her again.”
