Doggy Day Care in West Hill, Albany, NY

“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!”

“Cheryle is great! She sent pictures during the day which made us feel very comfortable that our dog was nice and relaxed and enjoys being with Cheryle and her dog. Her house is set up very nice and the backyard too. I would highly recommend Cheryle!”

“Emmaly has an absolutely wonderful doggy daycare. The backyard is perfect for playing and there's a great indoor area, too. Her dog, Jack, plays so well with our poodle, Zappa. Emmaly sends us plenty of pictures and videos so we can see how much fun they are having together. Zappa is so excited when we pull into her driveway.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl I have loved dogs. We always had dogs in the house when I was growing up. On August 5, 2024, I lost my dog, Lana, after 19 years. She was a Jack Russell/Poodle mix. I would love to take care of doggies and treat them just like my Lana with lots of love, hugs and hanging out on the couch. I will take one dog up to 25 pounds for boarding. I would take more than one small dog if he or she is from the same household. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and bed. I have a fenced in back yard where your dog will always be accompanied by me. I will give lots of cuddles and love. I recently retired. I am home most of every day and every night. For boarding, the schedule is 3 PM until 3 PM the next day. This is flexible as long as it’s all before 6 PM. I’m sure your small dog will love running around my fenced back yard. Dogs naturally love me and I love them. Your pet must have flea protection, and all vaccinations. I do not smoke or drink. There are no pets in the home. I do have a grandson that I watch three days per week. House is one floor with a chain link fence in the back yard.

“We wanted our pup to get more socializing during the day while we are at work and Maegan turned out to be perfect. She is very responsive, flexible with our drop off and pick up times, and very trustworthy. Her and her family are also very kind and sweet and they make a great home for our pup to enjoy during the day. They have a dog of their own and she watches other dogs on occasion as well and everyone gets along great because of Maegan. We can’t thank her enough for how she cares for our dog.”

“Amazing service! Communicates well with me during the day. Sends me photos and feedback. My puppy loves them and is always so happy to see them. I look forward to working with them further.”

About: Freedom is my actual birth name (preferred btw) So here at Freedom Cares 🫶🏼 I believe all animals have their own unique level of care needs. I grew up with a variety of furry friends from a very young age. I remember being 3 and hiding in my Nanas room with Kittens and snuggling them trying to feed them with my (dolls play baby bottle) and. My experience with animals Includes dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, donkeys, ducks, turtles, cows, fish and more. Animals are always drawn to my calming energy, regardless of where I am. Farm, fair, friends house, walks, etc. I Firmly believe my Biological mom named me Freedom for a reason. I am a private caregiver to those with disabilities. Therefore my schedule is quite flexible. I can do drop inns, boarding, overnights, walks and more. Some of my clients even enjoy pet therapy. As long as the pet owner is up to that. 😊 As a kid I had many animals and experience with farm life. Including 4H training for dogs. I most recently have experience at a dog daycare. Where we practiced techniques from The Dog Guru. More importantly each animal/client/prospect is different. Therefore, I will follow the clients/animals routine. Whether the animals need long walks and extra attention. Or just a quick drop in and some fresh water. Or extra lovings while their owner is away. Your animal/animals will surely be taken care of.

“Emily was so professional and loving with our best buddy Ebbet. He can be shy and nervous, and Emily was incredibly patient and thoughtful giving Ebbet time and space to acclimate to a new person. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful. Ebbet loved her, and he is choosy with his love 💗”

“Amazing service! Vera went above and beyond. She was very attentive to Lilly and her needs. So glad that she got to play with Vera’s dogs and that they went on a long walk! We are definitely returning ?”

“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! ??”

Victoria K.

“Sky was so wonderful to our little cat and a great person to meet! We were in town for the week and needed someone to watch our pet, she was extremely responsive and flexible even last minute.”

Amanda R.

“Serhii and Olesia were amazing hosts! One of my doggies is a bit more anxious and they handle him without any issues. They returned so happy that I felt that they would have loved to stay longer with them. Thank you again Serhii and Olesia <3”

Sandra M.

“Madeline (and Sam!) made sure Patch felt right at home. I appreciated her care for him and the fenced yard the boys had to play in together was perfect. Nice tall fence so no “mama fears” of possible fence jumping. Madeline provides a nice safe space and Sam provided Patch with plenty of exercise (and vice versa I think!)”

Sarah D.

“Laura was really responsive to all of my questions leading up to the first sitting, which was only set up the day before. She communicated throughout the whole day sending pictures and videos to make sure we were comfortable and knew how Willa was doing. I would definitely schedule dog sitting with Laura in the future!”

Ashley L.

“Ripley had a wonderful day with Kristine and Flynn! My girl (and myself) has some anxiety quirks, but between Kristine and her husband being such genuine pet loving people, and how great Flynn is with other dogs, it was truly a wonderful experience. Ripley was happy and pooped when she came home! We look forward to our next daycare and sleepover. Thank you so much again, Kristine!”

Casey R.

“Christopher and Chelsea were awesome!! They were very responsive and my pup had great time! My pup can be very timid when meeting new people but came around really quickly! I could tell she was well cared for and would definitely bring my pup back!!”

About: As a full-time elementary school teacher and lifelong dog lover, I bring a unique blend of patience, responsibility, and playful energy to pet care. I’ve grown up around dogs and have helped care for everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups. I understand that each dog has their own personality, needs, and quirks—just like my students! Currently enjoying my teacher summer and have a lot of time on my hands! I live in a dog friendly apartment with a roomy, AC filled space. I babysit babies occasionally, but am looking for more to fill my days! I just moved here from Boston and am missing my family dog back at home…would love to get back my daily dose of dog snuggles! I live in a clean, dog-friendly apartment with my boyfriend, and we both love animals! While I don’t currently have a dog here, I have one back home, so I’m very familiar with creating a safe, loving environment. I always keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, and I make sure they’re comfortable, secure, and happy at all times.
