“I boarded my precious dog Roxy with Jennifer and I cant say enough how wonderful the experience was for both Roxy and myself, i had total peace of mind while I was away,I knew Roxy was in good hands and Jennifer provided photos daily which was a further peace of mind, upon picking her up after a week stay,my dog simply wagged her tail at me not the usual with other sitters in past that dog wanted to leave immediately, I knew right then Roxy had a good time at Jennifers, thank you for the excellent care of Roxy!”
“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”
“We 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!”
“Christopher and his wife did a wonderful job watching my Australian Shepherd. I appreciate the daily updates with pictures. She was well loved and cared for. Would book again.”
“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.”
“I have a high anxiety; high energy breed and Cache took amazing care of him. Additionally, she sent plenty of updates/ videos, so I didn't have to worry about him. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Brooke was an absolute delight! She was incredibly helpful and accommodating, making me feel at ease leaving my dog with her for five days so I could finally enjoy a much-needed family vacation. I truly appreciated Brooke’s check-ins during this time, ensuring that my dog was doing well. It was a huge relief to know that my dog was in good hands.”
“Amazing! Our dog Grapefruit is extremely shy, but friendly to everyone. We were worried about "boarding" her for the first time, but He really took the time to let Grapefruit explore and get used to the area. She came back so happy and exhausted! 10/10 would recommend 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!!”
“Lydia and her family took wonderful care of Gracie. She was great with communication and updates and we could tell she was well taken care of and looked after. We would definitely use Lydia’s services again and recommend her to others.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Margie and her family did a great job taking care of Apollo! We did a meet & greet with her dogs first. Apollo enjoyed having playmates and even wanted to play with her cat. I really appreciated all the updates she sent me! I received lots of photos and Apollo looked like he was enjoying himself. I would definitely recommend Margie & have already rebooked with her.”

“This was our first experience using Rover so I was a bit nervous. I contacted Julia and she came over for a meet and greet a few days ahead of time. She took excellent care of our two cats who are older and cranky at times. Julia was great! I loved getting the updates and pictures after each visit. That totally put my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to hire her again! Very happy customer!”
“Lauren looked in on our two cats while we were away, and we came home to very happy kitties! The house was in good order, and she checked in and gave us updates regularly and was very communicative. Will definitely have her back next time!”
“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 :)”
“Samantha was absolutely fantastic! With both my cats being terrified of people, she did a great job in giving them their space and allowing them to feel comfortable enough to come out and eat while she waited. This is the first time I’ve ever had to have somebody come over and feed them when I wasn’t home so I was extremely nervous, but everything went perfectly! (Even though she had to track them down for a picture at the end 😭)”
“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. :)”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“Although my kitty can be a bit difficult, Mel made sure to lay eyes on her everyday, and tried to play with her during her visit. Mel took pictures everyday for us to see how our kitty was doing, and even videos too. Thank you Mel for your service, and keeping our kitty feed while we were away. :)”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My first job was as an Animal Care Technician with the Humane Society, and I later worked at a military veterinary clinic for more than five years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I’ve been passionate about since childhood. I’ve always had pets of my own and have rescued many animals over the years. To me, pets are family, not just animals. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home. I’ll follow and reinforce your training and household rules, while also making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I tailor their care to their individual personality and energy level. I currently work full-time. But not too far from my job. So I can always come home to let pets out if need be. I will be available to give them all the attention in the afternoon and on the weekends with the help of my kids who just adore any animal. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and one cat to keep your pet company. I can also crate your pet if needed.
“Katie was amazing! She is incredibly kind and the fur babies loved her. She gave detailed recaps of her visits and went above and beyond while we were away. 🐾”
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.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and love to care for them. Whether it’s keeping them active or spending some chill time together, we will have so much fun! I’m flexible on weekdays after 5pm and am available for house sitting most days of the week. My availability is flexible with enough advance notice. I am a visitor in your pets home and will do what I need to make them, and you, feel safe, happy, and worry free while you’re taking a break.
“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.

“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!”
“Logan is a great pet sitter! He's very knowledgeable, friendly, and provides a home-like environment while allowing for space and downtime amongst the few other dogs he may have at that time.. He is accommodating to your pet's individual needs and personality which is comforting when you've got a dog that is slow to warm up! We've used him for daycare and plan to board with him as well! Thanks, Logan 🤗”
“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.
“Oakley enjoyed his time with Cache. He’s a very anxious pup and she was calm and relaxing. He loved her right from the start. And he was a happy boy when I picked him up!”
“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.”
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.
“Kania worked great with the new puppy of mine. Wattsin returned further developed each time for the few days of care he was consecutively dropped off for, along with excitement to see her and the family for each play date following. It was a pleasure working with not only caregivers as such, but genuine people... and doggies. Highly recommend! Could not thank them enough.”
About: Over the course of my childhood my parents have been teaching me the proper way to care for not just people, but of course, our pets as well. After a while, tending to our pets was no longer so much a task for me as it was for my siblings. Taking care of and spending time with animals in general became something I still enjoy doing to this day, and as far as I know, will be one of my favorite things to do forever. With over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, you can feel confident in my professionalism and knowledge of what would be in your pet’s best interest. I want to go beyond just keeping your animal’s needs met but to make sure they feel happy and comfortable at all times.
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.
“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.”
“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!!”
“With both me and my boyfriend working in healthcare and having crazy schedules, we decided to get a puppy. Then our work schedules got flipped and we were panicking on what to do with little man while we both had to work Christmas Eve and day and 12hr shifts. Then came a Christmas miracle, Kaitlyn and her amazing family watched over little Apollo. I was so nervous as this was my first time using Rover and I was unsure about the legitimacy, but Kaitlyn had great reviews and went above and beyond to make Apollo feel welcomed in her home and. She stuck to his feeding and training plan, tuckered him out with tons of play and made sure to update me with adorable pictures throughout the day! If you have a chance to book with her I would say absolutely do it, I would trust her with a human child!!”
“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!”
“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.”

“Rūmī throughly enjoyed his half day stay at Awoo’s wonderful property. Rūmī had ample space and company to run around and take in all the various scents. Awoo treated him with care and as the saying goes “a tired dog is a happy dog”. I would recommend Awoo for your future sitting needs.”

About: For a year, I walked my neighbor's Cavalier King Charles spaniel while she was recovering from a hip injury, until she could walk better. 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.

I provide top-notch care and unforgettable experiences for your furry family members.

Rest assured, your pet will get the attention they need, precisely when they need it. Your Pet's Comfort and Routine, My Top Priority! When you're away, the last thing you should worry about is your beloved pet. My in-home pet sitting service is designed to provide your furry family members with the highest level of care, all within the comfort and security of their own home. The "Meet and Greet" It all starts with a complimentary "Meet and Greet." This initial consultation is crucial for establishing a bond with your pet and for me to get a comprehensive understanding of their needs. We'll go over everything, including: Daily Routine: From morning wake-up calls to bedtime rituals, I'll learn your pet's feeding schedule, potty breaks, and favorite napping spots. Consistency is key to keeping your pet happy and stress-free. Special Care Instructions: This includes any medications, dietary restrictions, or specific commands. I'm experienced in administering various medications and can handle complex care needs with confidence and a gentle hand. Safety and Security: We'll discuss entry and exit procedures, emergency contacts (including your vet), and any household quirks I need to be aware of to keep your home and pet safe.
About: I've been taking care of a wide variety of animals for a long time. I have experience in all around basic boarding care for dogs, cats, and various reptiles and small animals; dog training basic obedience, fear or frustration aggression/reactivity, high drive dogs, and anxiety behaviors. Pet Care is not only an important part of my life, but it's a passion of mine. Caring for your animal like I do my own is what makes life rewarding for me. When your pet is with me it becomes a part of my family and is treated as such. I look forward to training or caring for your animals! I can train your dog in a multitude of ways. I work a lot of animals with anxiety and behavioral issues. I can easily crate your dog, cat or any other animal if needed. I have access to multiple fenced in yards for your pet to run around in and play. I have a fully trained purebred smooth collie who is extremely gentle and can make friends with anything. I have multiple rooms and spaces in order to accommodate your fur baby's needs. I pay attention to detail and carry out all care with the highest level of standards I can.
“Julia did a great job walking our dog while we were away! He gets nervous around people he doesn’t know but she came by to meet him first, which really helped. Thank you, Julia! We would like to use you again in the future!”

“Sheronda was great! Communicated often with us, sent us lots of great photos of our dog, and did a great job socializing him with the other dogs (making him comfortable). She has a great back yard (fenced in), with lots of great areas to walk dogs. Overall we are super pleased, will be booking with them again!”
“We 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!”
“Christopher and his wife did a wonderful job watching my Australian Shepherd. I appreciate the daily updates with pictures. She was well loved and cared for. Would book again.”
“I have a high anxiety; high energy breed and Cache took amazing care of him. Additionally, she sent plenty of updates/ videos, so I didn't have to worry about him. I will 100% be rebooking with her!”
“Amazing! Our dog Grapefruit is extremely shy, but friendly to everyone. We were worried about "boarding" her for the first time, but He really took the time to let Grapefruit explore and get used to the area. She came back so happy and exhausted! 10/10 would recommend 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!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Margie and her family did a great job taking care of Apollo! We did a meet & greet with her dogs first. Apollo enjoyed having playmates and even wanted to play with her cat. I really appreciated all the updates she sent me! I received lots of photos and Apollo looked like he was enjoying himself. I would definitely recommend Margie & have already rebooked with her.”
“Amanda was great with Zephyr. Shortly after dropping my dog off she sent an update and then we received on every day and often with a picture. She also provided a furbo link for the periods that she was at work. I always felt my dog was in good, caring hands.”
“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”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. My first job was as an Animal Care Technician with the Humane Society, and I later worked at a military veterinary clinic for more than five years. Caring for animals isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I’ve been passionate about since childhood. I’ve always had pets of my own and have rescued many animals over the years. To me, pets are family, not just animals. When your pet stays with me, my home becomes their home. I’ll follow and reinforce your training and household rules, while also making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I tailor their care to their individual personality and energy level. I currently work full-time. But not too far from my job. So I can always come home to let pets out if need be. I will be available to give them all the attention in the afternoon and on the weekends with the help of my kids who just adore any animal. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and one cat to keep your pet company. I can also crate your pet if needed.
“Candice was amazing and Barry absolutely adored her and her kids! he had a great time there and came home so happy! 10/10 would recommend and will def be going back!”
“Richelle was amazing! She kept us updated every day on how our pup was doing, which really put our minds at ease. Teddy had a blast going on walks and received so much love and care, especially since he’s quite the energetic ball of joy! We're incredibly grateful for her flexibility in taking our last-minute request due to a family emergency. We will absolutely be using her services again in the future!”
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!
“I had an urgent situation and needed a pet sitter. Lori was so kind to agree to help. My dogs were so happy when I picked them. She took great care of them. I can’t wait to use her again.”
