“Mery and Brad looked after my greyhound Nadia for a few nights and they did a marvelous job! Setting up Nadia's stay was very easy and my messages were replied to promptly. I was also kept updated throughout her stay. Nadia was obviously happy and well looked after when I went to pick her up; I would definitely recommend Mery and Brad to anyone looking for caring and wonderful dog sitters!”
“Natthinee did a wonderful job taking care of my Moose! She sent lots of pictures and videos of him having a great time doing all of his tricks and playing with their dog. He will definitely be coming back for more visits!”
“This was the first time using Rover and leaving our puppy and Tiffany was amazing! Super supportive and sent many updates. She is fantastic and I encourage you to trust your furbabies with her!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing with my dog during his overnight stay! She’s very communicative, caring, and clearly passionate about what she does. From the meet-and-greet, I knew my pup was in great hands. She even sent him home with a thoughtful doggy bag, which was such a sweet touch. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Gillian and her family. We’ve used her a lot this year and will continue to trust her to take care of my pup. Cooper is 15 years old, he sleeps a lot but still has a pep in his step. Gillian makes sure he gets outside time and walks along with lots of snuggle time. He isn’t hesitant when we get to their house like he was with other sitters. And he’s acting more like himself there which tells me he is comfortable. I get multiple texts, pictures and videos when he’s there, so I know he’s doing well.”
“Onyx spent a week with Mike. He sent us pictures and communicated regularly. Mike is very easygoing and made Onyx feel right at home. It is comforting to know that you can go away and know that your dog is happy and well cared for. Thank you Mike!”
“Our dog Cadie very much enjoyed her stay at Lori’s! Cadie was able to play ball and enjoy playing with the other dogs. Lori was very flexible and accommodating to our schedule and took great care of Cadie. We definitely recommend Lori and will have her watch Cadie again in the future.”
“Tatiana has been absolutely amazing!! Tucker loved getting to play with all his new friends over the holiday weekend! Tatiana sent lots of pictures and was very communicative!! Will absolutely be using again! Thanks Tatiana!!”
“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.”
“Kevinh was a phenomenal dog sitter. He was available last minute to watch our small dog. He took Kona on several long walks, send many pictures and regular updates. Great communication. Kona was extremely comfy and cared for ! I would 100% recommend Kevinh!”
“Jack took our dog for boarding on short notice and sent us pictures periodically showing that he was having a good time. I would definitely bring him for a stay again.”
“Chelsea was amazing with our Lucea! We got great photo updates during her stay that helped us relax knowing Lucea was enjoying herself! We are so happy we found Chelsea and Tumbaros Clubhouse!”
“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!!”
“Jennifer was amazing. I can’t say enough good things. She treated my pup like one of her own and I am truly grateful. Leaving and being away from your pup is an anxiety inducing experience, but Jennifer took such good care of Cadbury and was so incredible at keeping me updated that I didn’t have to worry and was able to focus on my conference instead of worrying about him. And she also kept Cadbury entertained and engaged so his mind was on whatever thing was going on at the moment which I was glad for Her dogs welcomed Cadbury to their pack which I was also incredibly appreciative of. I am so glad he has new friends that I look forward to him spending more time with them. Jennifer, her mom and their pack were amazing and so glad it worked out the way it did. I’m sure I’m missing things but they were amazing and look forward to Cadbury’s next experience there and so glad to know I have a place I can trust. Thanks Jennifer!”
“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!”
“Camilla was the best at caring for my dog. She had him playing with other nice dogs and spent lots of time snuggling with him on the couch. He looked so comfortable, and he got lots of outdoor and pool time. Her family was so sweet and left a nice card when my dog came back.”
“Kathleen took excellent care of my chihuahua, Cody. Over the course of a month, I boarded him with her a few times each week, and I always felt confident he was in great hands. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly patient, not just with my (very energetic!) chihuahua 🙃, but with me as well. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Jen was amazing. Took my boy on the shortest of notice and sent pictures the whole time. My boy had a health concern that wasn’t bad enough for her to call me while I was away but was worth mentioning when I picked him up which I can’t even say how much I appreciate. I’ve had bad experiences leaving him before so I get very nervous but 10/10 I’d trust Jen with my dogs any day and would go out of my way to book with her 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.”

“Felicity has taken care of my cats several times and i just love her. She goes above and beyond and I really appreciate her so much. My kitties also love her which is the most important thing to me.”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I could not be happier with the experience! My cats were very well cared for by Megan while we were gone for the week. They are usually skittish for a little while when we come home from being away, but this time they came right out as if we were only gone for a few hours! I will definitely utilize her services again when needed.”
“Gillian was awesome! We asked her to come check on our cats for a couple of days and even though it was a last minute request she was very accommodating. She communicated and sent lots of pictures which is always appreciated. If you hire her, you won't be disappointed!!”
“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.”
About: Having grown up with cats and dogs, I recently spent a couple of years on a horse farm caring for horses, cows, chickens, large dogs, and barn cats. From feeding and bathing to administering medicine, I've spent years with animals. I love meeting new pets and learning about them. I look forward to making memories with these new pets and hopefully making pet parents’ day a little easier. I’m currently a senior in high school but I only have 3 classes from 10-12:30 making my schedule pretty open on weekdays. On weekends I host kids birthday parties which are usually only 2 hours and from 12-2 or 2-4 other than that I am free. When it comes to drop in visits I like to follow strictly to pet parents instructions to make sure all expectations are being met with no risk of harm to pets or property.
“We have used Rachel twice now and she has been wonderful both times! She took great care of our kitties and kept us updated the entire time and sent photos. I appreciated the open communication. Thanks, Rachel!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter we didn’t know and Elizabeth made us feel very comfortable. She was great with the cats, great communication. I would certainly use her again.”
“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!”
“Pamela is punctual and conscientious. She took care of three of our pets (our dog traveled with us this time). One of the kitties needs medication two times per day and I could have set my watch to Pamela’s arrival to do that for us. We appreciated her taking that weight off our minds. Highly recommended!”
“Nadia is wonderful and we can’t recommend her enough. She is communicative, respectful, and legitimately cares about your animals. We look forward to working with 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.
“Adrianna was a fantastic cat sitter! We got regular updates, and she went above and beyond to make sure we felt good about leaving our cats, including doing a little extra to take care of our cats during a heatwave. Highly recommend her!”
About: My fiancée and I currently have 4 cats with varying personalities. I have experience from energetic cats that require play time to cats that don’t want me to know they exist to cats that want to be in your skin. We use automatic feeders but my schedule allows for me to feed a cat multiple times a day.
“I have a very shy cat that has never been seen before by a sitter....that is until Amber! She was so caring and loving that the cat made an appearance, which Amber took photos of and sent me. Unbelievable. A pet-whisperer for sure. Every day she checked in twice and provided pictures of the cat, the litterbox, the food dishes. She went above and beyond collecting the mail, and she even refilled a humidifier each day because my shy cat loves watching it make bubbles at night. She was stellar in keeping everything near and tidy. I cannot recommend her enough. Every friend that has a cat in my area will hear nothing but positive reviews and recommendations. If you think she is "too expensive" keep in mind that Rover takes a huge cut of every sitters fee, leaving them with a lot of work for little money. In the end be kind and tip. Amber - if you're reading this, Talula and her parents can't thank you enough!”
About: I’m a graduating law student looking to take pup-filled study breaks while I prepare for the bar exam. I have a big cat named Perry (definitely part Maine Coon, who knows what else). I’ve gotten very used to the zoomies and the bunny kicks and the moods. I hope you’ll trust me to take care of your beloved pets while you’re away. Even shy dogs and cats tend to warm up to me quickly, and I love getting them out of their shells. I am available for longer daytime stays but not overnight stays.
“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!!!”
“Jennifer was great! We came home to 5 happy pups. 3 of our dogs needed twice daily medicine, and I felt comfortable knowing Jennifer had the knowledge to meet their needs. I really enjoyed the daily picture updates and notes!”

“Nat was great with our two pups. Our one dog is still a puppy in many ways and this was her first Rover experience. Nat didn’t make us feel bad for the behaviors that I know are difficult to manage or come with a pups first time stay. She kept us updated With pics and videos which we loved. If you want a safe and loving place for your pups, Nat is the way to go!”
“I'm so happy with Anna's pet care service. She is incredibly responsive and kind to my pup. My dog is normally anxious with new people but he gets along very well with Anna. He comes home happy and relaxed everyday! I highly recommend her.”
“Brad and Mery were wonderful, and took great care of our dog Maisie. I loved getting pictures and updates daily- it made me feel much better being away! I highly recommend, and hope to use them again in the future!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Julianna is absolutely amazing!! She will always be my go to dog sitter when my family isn’t available to help!! She’s amazing with my puppy very understanding of how he’s still in the puppy faze and is on top of communication with us!! When you want you animals to feel like their at home Julianna is the girl to go to!!♥️🐶”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough great things! From the moment I dropped my dog off, they went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and cared for. They kept me updated throughout the day, sent lots of photos, and made sure he had everything he needed—including feeding him his breakfast. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was not only safe, but truly happy and well taken care of. The level of communication and attention to detail was phenomenal. You can really tell how much they care about the dogs in their care. Highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving place for their pup!”
“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!”
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. 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.)** Run by a dedicated Mother-Daughter duo, our home daycare & boarding services grew out of a lifetime of deep compassion and rescue love. 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.

Today, I operate with strict capacity limits and automated schedule rules to ensure a flawless, ultra-safe care environment.)** To ensure total peace of mind, I treat your dog like a true member of my own family. 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: 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.
“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!”
“Tiffany is a wonderful host, and Sunny had a terrific place to stay. A big comfy couch for the pups, a doggy door leading to a big fenced yard, and three very friendly pups of her own. Looking forward to a return trip later when we’ll be gone for a week. And looking forward to checking out the delicious looking cakes, cupcakes, & cake pops she custom makes!”
“Tatiana was amazing! She took care of my two pups very last minute and was very understanding if we were later than expected! Sent me pictures and updates throughout the day 😊. She treats them like they are her own. She also was very considerate with taking everything slow with them (introducing to her dogs). She’s an awesome pet sitter and definitely will be using her again!”
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.
“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!”
“I am so grateful to Kim for watching my dog for daycare. Tuna had a great time hanging out with resident pup, Bella; they ran around in the enclosed back patio and she got to hang outside on the deck which is her favorite pastime while waiting for me to pick her up after work. Kim's son took her on multiple walks each day, including first thing in the morning which gave me peace of mind and made our morning that much easier. I could tell Tuna liked spending the day there which is super important to me; we'd love to be a repeat client due to our positive experience!”
About: 🐾🏡 About Me Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner, trainer, and former kennel manager with experience caring for all breeds, ages, and personalities. My home is active and structured, with plenty of playtime, exercise, and enrichment. I currently share my home with Border Collies, Labradors, and a few mixed breeds, and we’re active in dog sports like frisbee, obedience, and dock diving. Whether your dog is social or needs their own space, I can accommodate them — as long as they are people-friendly. I strive to make dogs feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you have peace of mind. 🐶 What Your Dog Can Expect Safe, structured, and enriching days: Morning play/walks, breakfast, digest & rest breaks, afternoon activities, and evening wind-down. Large fenced backyard + indoor play area for all weather. Crate-based routine for meals, rest, and overnight for safety and comfort. Daily updates: Photos, videos, and notes so you stay connected. Personalized attention based on your dog’s personality, energy, and needs. 📍 Convenient Location Just 3 miles from Albany Airport Near I-87, I-90, and I-88 — perfect for travelers ✅ What I Provide Expansive fenced yard & indoor play space Wide collection of dog equipment (bring only collar, leash, and food) Experience with puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and multiple breeds Knowledge of breed-specific needs, safety, and bloat prevention 📌 What I Need From You Vaccinations required: Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella Crate-trained dogs only What to bring: Collar, leash, and food (please no beds) Daycare: All daycare dogs require to ha e a m&g and a trial day before being able to book freely. Drop-Ins/House Sitting: Meet & Greet required. Keyless entries only, will not keep keys. 🗓 Drop-Off & Pick-Up Morning: 6:00–7:30 AM Evening: 6:00–7:30 PM No Saturday evenings or holiday exchanges Please specify a time to avoid overlap — residential area, so we keep things calm for neighbors and dogs 💬 Meet & Greets Recommended for all new clients Please schedule at least 2 weeks prior to your stay 📅 Routine & Peak Season Peak Season: May 1 – September 30 Structured routine: multiple outdoor sessions, playtime, meals with digestion breaks, rest periods — no free-for-all boarding ✨ Why Choose Me? I live and breathe dogs — training, sports, and overall enjoyment are my passion. Your pup will get safe, structured care, plenty of exercise, and personal attention while you get peace of mind and daily updates. We keep a very rigid structured routine. Our day starts between 6-7am, with initial let outs--group play if appropriate to get that morning energy out. Then we settle in for breakfast time, all dogs rest 30 minutes prior to meals, 30 minutes to eat, then followed by another 30-60 minutes to digest. This helps prevent bloat( while any size dog CAN bloat--most often occurs in larger/deep chested breeds, but I take no chances). We then are in and out throughout the rest of the day when dinner time commences between 5-6pm, repeating the same 30-30-30/60 routine. Last let outs and romps wrapping up around 10-11pm. I don't operate a free for all. Fully fenced in yard. Specifically zoned areas for potting and play. Daily house keeping services including vacuuming and daily crate wipe down and disinfection. Dogs are outside as much as we can be, under direct supervision weather permitting.
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 😉

“Felicity has been great - she helped get the puppies settled into their new home this week, is very communicative and flexible, and the pups are settling in fast. Moving is always hard and she has helped make it all go more smoothly. Very grateful!”
“First let me say... Petey and I absolutely loved Hannah from the very start... We had a very nice introductory walk before I left on vacation. Everyday she actively communicated... and every day she went above and beyond. Hannah took great care of Petey and I greatly appreciate that she did!! Even my neighbor reached out to me and told me what a great job Hannah did walking Petey. They said that they were able to see that her and Petey got along well. The fact they expressed that to me was probably a bigger compliment then I could give in this review. So yes... we loved Hannah!! We look forward to touching base with her and we look forward to asking her to look after Petey again the next time it is time to leave town. Thank you Hannah... we truly appreciate you!!”
“Gillian is a dream! She was an instant hit with our pups and meeting her prior to the day the dogs needed her care put us at ease as her warm and welcoming personality instantly confirmed for us that she would take good care of our dogs. Her availability is awesome and she was even able to help us with a very last minute request. Rest-assured, your beloved pets will be in great hands with Gillian 🩷”

“Megan is awesome! My dogs love her and she is very reliable. She shows up at the agreed-upon time and always sends messages and pictures. My neighbors have also said that my dogs look very happy walking with their new friend :)”
“We are a retired couple who have a. recently adopted 13-month-old dog who is very active and energetic (we're still waiting for the DNA test results!). We hire dog walkers primarily to provide exercise for our little athlete, and Julianna provided a nice, brisk walk for Pippin. I especially appreciated that she listed the mileage, not just a map, of the walk--it was more meaningful in terms of discerning how "active" a walk she got. Thank you Julianna!”
About: I'm a reliable and compassionate dog sitter with hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a current veterinary technician student, I bring a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic medical care, and emergency response. Whether your pup needs playtime, walks, medication, or just some extra love while you're away, I provide attentive and safe care tailored to their needs. I work Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM, with just a 7-minute commute. This allows me ample time for evening pet care during the weekdays. I’m also fully available on weekends. I always follow the owner's instructions, as they know their pets best, and I respect any specific rules in place. I also use my best judgment to ensure your fur babies stay safe, comfortable, and happy at all times.
About: I work part time and am pretty flexible with my schedule. My fiancée and I currently have 4 cats but I grew up with dogs. I love dog sitting for friends and family. My previous dog was diabetic so I have given insulin and have with experience with senior dogs. I currently work part time so I have a lot of time to play with your animals! Our cats love to cuddle and to go for walks in their stroller. I use automatic feeders for dry food and give them wet food once a day. I’ve pet sat where animals are free fed or prefer to be fed at a specific time.
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 10. Family friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk feed and care for their dogs. Experienced working in a local doggy day care and training. Experienced with in home dog sitting and basic home tasks. Growing up in a vet clinic when my aunt was my primary garden after school. 12Am. Monday threw 11Pm. Friday All dogs all day every day. I live in a 4 dog household as we'll as attend, assist,and teach weekly training classes. I prefer to watch dogs in their own home. I find it's easier for their comfort and well being. I follow all guidelines set for the pet by the owner and love spending time bonding with their dogs. We go for walks, play, or just spend time keeping each other company. I believe it's important to leave a home better than when I arrive by promptly cleaning any messes and keeping things tidy during my time there.
About: I have taken care of 3 dogs since the age of 11 as my family pets. Since moving out on my own, I have an Australian shepherd and an orange kitten that have become my world! I have dog sat/cat sat for friends and family, walked, fed, played, and loved them as if they were my own! I currently work full time night shift in Albany, NY Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday nights. I am free all day Wednesday through Saturday but, am willing to work out certain hours Sunday-Tuesday if needed! I love to walk dogs! On the road, I am always cautious of cars, people, and even other dogs. If your pet prefers to stay close to home, playing outside is what we will do. I am always putting the pet's needs and comfort before anything else!
About: I’m a graduating law student looking to take pup-filled study breaks while I prepare for the bar exam. I have a big cat named Perry and I love dogs. I’ve had at least one dog my entire life, and most of my family members have as well, so I have a lot of experience with many different breeds. I hope you’ll trust me to take care of your beloved pets while you’re away. Even shy dogs and cats tend to warm up to me quickly, and I love getting them out of their shells. Please note that I am unable to do walks longer than 20-30 minutes. I am available for longer daytime stays but not overnight stays. I am currently a student, so my schedule, while a little sporadic, is fairly open, especially on the weekends. I also enjoy taking walks when I can, so adding dogs to those walks can only make them better! I do not accept clients for boarding. If and when I do drop in visits, I will make sure and follow the owner’s instructions, and primarily make sure the pet feels comforted and doesn’t feel alone.
“Tyasia is very good with my rambunctious 100lb Ruby. She handles Ruby very well and she even loves on my little dogs when she comes to walk Ruby. I would recommend Tyasia 100%. She sweet and kind to my pups.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I could remember. I love them so much. Everyone calls me the dog whisperer whenever they need a helping hand with their fur babies. I do charge an additional fee for gas, due to gas prices being so high and the high intake I receive from my guests. I currently work part time but I’m available usually after 9am throughout the week. I do work weekends usually but I can be flexible with stopping in the morning and evenings times for your fur babies. I am temporarily in a transition moving right now, for the Army National Guard. I am living at Home until I receive my new orders. So I will come to you for any of your visits you need for your fur babies!
About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. My pets are my world and are considered each day when it comes to giving them the best life possible. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.

“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.”

“Mery and Brad looked after my greyhound Nadia for a few nights and they did a marvelous job! Setting up Nadia's stay was very easy and my messages were replied to promptly. I was also kept updated throughout her stay. Nadia was obviously happy and well looked after when I went to pick her up; I would definitely recommend Mery and Brad to anyone looking for caring and wonderful dog sitters!”
“Anna was absolutely amazing with my dog during his overnight stay! She’s very communicative, caring, and clearly passionate about what she does. From the meet-and-greet, I knew my pup was in great hands. She even sent him home with a thoughtful doggy bag, which was such a sweet touch. Highly recommend!”
“Onyx spent a week with Mike. He sent us pictures and communicated regularly. Mike is very easygoing and made Onyx feel right at home. It is comforting to know that you can go away and know that your dog is happy and well cared for. Thank you Mike!”
“Our dog Cadie very much enjoyed her stay at Lori’s! Cadie was able to play ball and enjoy playing with the other dogs. Lori was very flexible and accommodating to our schedule and took great care of Cadie. We definitely recommend Lori and will have her watch Cadie again in the future.”
“Tatiana has been absolutely amazing!! Tucker loved getting to play with all his new friends over the holiday weekend! Tatiana sent lots of pictures and was very communicative!! Will absolutely be using again! Thanks Tatiana!!”
“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!”
“Kevinh was a phenomenal dog sitter. He was available last minute to watch our small dog. He took Kona on several long walks, send many pictures and regular updates. Great communication. Kona was extremely comfy and cared for ! I would 100% recommend Kevinh!”
“Jack took our dog for boarding on short notice and sent us pictures periodically showing that he was having a good time. I would definitely bring him for a stay again.”
“Chelsea was amazing with our Lucea! We got great photo updates during her stay that helped us relax knowing Lucea was enjoying herself! We are so happy we found Chelsea and Tumbaros Clubhouse!”
“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!!”
“Jennifer was amazing. I can’t say enough good things. She treated my pup like one of her own and I am truly grateful. Leaving and being away from your pup is an anxiety inducing experience, but Jennifer took such good care of Cadbury and was so incredible at keeping me updated that I didn’t have to worry and was able to focus on my conference instead of worrying about him. And she also kept Cadbury entertained and engaged so his mind was on whatever thing was going on at the moment which I was glad for Her dogs welcomed Cadbury to their pack which I was also incredibly appreciative of. I am so glad he has new friends that I look forward to him spending more time with them. Jennifer, her mom and their pack were amazing and so glad it worked out the way it did. I’m sure I’m missing things but they were amazing and look forward to Cadbury’s next experience there and so glad to know I have a place I can trust. Thanks Jennifer!”
“Camilla was the best at caring for my dog. She had him playing with other nice dogs and spent lots of time snuggling with him on the couch. He looked so comfortable, and he got lots of outdoor and pool time. Her family was so sweet and left a nice card when my dog came back.”
“Kathleen took excellent care of my chihuahua, Cody. Over the course of a month, I boarded him with her a few times each week, and I always felt confident he was in great hands. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly patient, not just with my (very energetic!) chihuahua 🙃, but with me as well. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Jen was amazing. Took my boy on the shortest of notice and sent pictures the whole time. My boy had a health concern that wasn’t bad enough for her to call me while I was away but was worth mentioning when I picked him up which I can’t even say how much I appreciate. I’ve had bad experiences leaving him before so I get very nervous but 10/10 I’d trust Jen with my dogs any day and would go out of my way to book with her 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.”
“Lianna was amazing. This was my first time using Rover and Lianna helped relieve any anxiety I had. Great communication, pictures sent multiple times a day, and answered any questions I had in a timely fashion. I 100% recommend her for your next fur baby stay.”
“Kristine was absolutely fantastic. She kept us up to date with pictures and info about our dog Griffin, who had an awesome time playing with her pup Flynn. Her backyard is so perfect for running around! I'd recommend her to anyone, and we'd happily have her as a pet sitter anytime.”
“This is the first time I left my 2 year old fur baby with anyone over night. Peg helped me to be comfortable with leaving her 2 full days and 2 nights. I survived! 😄 and so did my little Hattie. I will be very comfortable with leaving Hattie with Peg again.”
