About: What sets me apart is the level of compassion, patience, and individualized care I provide to every dog I meet. As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, my profession is built on trust, attentiveness, and understanding each individual’s unique needs—and I bring that same approach to caring for pets. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, or simply enjoys extra cuddles and companionship, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I treat every dog as if they were my own, keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care every step of the way. Hi! I offer morning dog walks or dog/cat drop-ins before 11:00 AM and evening dog walks or drop-ins after 7:00 PM, making it easy for busy pet parents to ensure their pets get the exercise, attention, and potty breaks they need. I am available most weekends for walks and drop-in visits. I also provide weekend boarding in my loving home, so you can enjoy a weekend away knowing your furry family member is safe, comfortable, and treated like one of my own. Whether we’re going for a walk, playing, cuddling, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure your pup receives plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’m committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment without a fenced yard, but that doesn’t mean your dog will miss out on exercise or outdoor time! My own dog enjoys multiple walks throughout the day, and I make it a priority to provide regular potty breaks, fresh air, and plenty of physical activity. We have a wonderful neighborhood that’s perfect for safe, enjoyable walks, and I’ll make sure your pup gets the same level of care, attention, and exercise as my own. Every dog has different needs, so I’ll tailor our walks and activity level to match your pet’s age, energy level, and personality, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and comfortable during their stay.
“It was our pups first time away from us. They had such a wonderful time with Kania! She sent pics throughout the day as well. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kania for your puppy sitting needs!”
“Awoo was great to work with! He is responsive, caring, and kind. Awoo took great care of our 3 dogs, even administered medicine, very helpful. We will definitely send our pups to him again!”
“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!”
“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”
“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”
“Phelan took great care of Sadie and made her feel right at home! She's a great communicator and she sent us lots of updates and pictures of Sadie. We look forward to bringing Sadie over again!”
“Everything went wonderfully! I was worried about leaving Wednesday with her medical issues but Mikkal knew what he was doing and took great care of her! She seemed very happy and healthy when I picked her up and will gladly use his services again in the future should I need them.”
“Great experience! My dog was very happy and well cared for. The service was friendly, professional, and attentive. I really appreciated how gently they treated my dog and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend them to other dog owners!”
“Jennifer was incredible when watching mine and my friend’s dogs! She provided updates with lots of pictures, and we could tell our dogs were getting so much love and attention! We will definitely be booking with Jennifer again in the future!”
“I’ve used Daniel’s services many times and will continue to come back when I’m in the area. Chloe loves him and he is always wonderful about remaining communicative and sending lots of photos. Our favorite sitter!”
“Wife was very nervous leaving her baby with someone new while we went on vacation. Cache was wonderful with daily updates and pictures/videos. Would definitely recommend her and be a repeat client.”
“Jack was great. He was very responsive and took great care of Luna. She had many opportunities to play with other dogs. I would recommend Jack and will contact him the next time we need someone to watch Luna.”
“My dogs have stayed with Marisa multiple times. My male dog has a great time playing with her dog. My timid female dog usually takes a while to adjust, but has gotten more comfortable and follows Marisa around. Marisa is very accommodating and has always been available when I've needed a sitter.”
“Emer and Jason took great care of Lucy. They took the time to get to know her, and she got along well with their pups. I could tell Lucy felt very comfortable with them, which put me at ease. Lucy had a very good visit and came home happy and healthy! A win-win.”
“Brittany watched our two pups on short notice for the weekend. It was our first time leaving them with someone away from our home. She was so kind and caring with our girls. She set our mind at ease and kept us up to date while we were away! We will definitely use her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waterford
Richelle was amazing! She was available when we were in a bind and she was able to care for our dog while we were out of the country. She kept us informed for the whole time and our dog seemed happy and well-cared for. We will happily book her again in the future!
Frances and her family are amazing! Our sweet girl Dolly was in the best hands and we are so grateful that she got so much activity and attention. Frances was very easy to communicate with and gave plenty of pictures which made my day. Would absolutley re-book and reccomend
I didn’t think it was possible for my puppy to be tired but she is wiped from her weekend with Net and her pack! She had the best time playing and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was safe in a great home. Net was so accommodating about my last minute trip and understanding of my flat tire on the way home! I received several updates each day and we were sent home with some goodies! Will absolutely use Net again in the future. Highly recommend!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
