Dog Boarding in Albany

My dog Fred has always had a little bit of anxiety when I go out of town. But not when he stays at Mariola’s place. He’s always so happy to see her and her daughter, and always looks healthy and calm when I go to pick him up. I can’t say enough about what a relief it is for Free to have a second home at Mariola’s place.

Luna had such a great stay with Lucia! She provided lots of photos, videos, and updates. I can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches, and I would definitely book with her again!

Catherine was amazing. She cared for our 7-month-old puppy, Cricket, for a whole week while we were away, and we felt completely at ease and new that she was in great hands. From when we first met her, it was clear that Catherine is a real dog person -- warm attentive and genuinely excited to spend time with Cricket. It was obvious that she truly cared about her and enjoyed having her. Her dog, Kizmet was also a sweet role model for Cricket. Catherine sent the cutest photos and videos of Kizmet and Cricket cuddling and napping together, along with daily updates from the dog park and their adventures. She sent photos, videos, and little notes every day, which really put me at ease knowing how happy and well cared for Cricket was. The day we came back we arrived home at 8:30 at night and she tired Cricket out with lots of park visits so she would be tired when we got home. And she even gave Cricket a bath before pickup! We’re so grateful to have found Catherine. Nothing better than truly feeling at ease when traveling knowing that your dog is in such loving hands. Thank you, Catherine! You're the best. We'll definitely be in touch again the next time we're away.

I had a wonderful boarding experience and it was clear (through amazing and frequent photos and videos) that my dog, Wolfe, did too! I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone and will 100% be reaching out to schedule future bookings.

I’ve sent my Max to two different kennels and he always comes back so sad, to the point that he doesn’t respond to us petting him. I wanted to try something more personable so I tried Rover. Maria was great and sent me photos and updates of Max during his stay. She noticed he wasn’t eating and made him special food for him with my permission of course. He came back so happy this time! He literally was smiling and happy to see us. One of her neighbors stopped my husband on the way out to tell him how much all the other neighbors liked Max. I’m sure they met him several times during his walks with Maria. I would highly recommend her!

Luna is a wonderful dog sitter! Cosmo, my dog was thrilled and happy to have stayed with her and her lovely dog, Jim! Jim was also the perfect fur host, showing Cosmo where they should play and that it was okay to run around and play together. Luna has a large and lovely yard and Cosmo enjoyed the serenity of the yard and home. Cosmo can be shy and aloof, and he does not react well to negative energy. But, he warmed up to Luna because of her thoughtful and positive approach to care giving. I trusted her to take good care of him. And, she did! Cosmo can be a velcro dog as he is with us practically 24/7, so it eased our anxiety to know that she was there for him. Thank you Luna for taking good care of Cosmo. Much aloha, Diane and Philip G.

Julie and Adam are terrific! So kind, personable, thoughtful, and relaxed. They have a lovely fully fenced backyard where a dog can explore with lots of garden items to sniff. They took time to ask questions and are just so easy to interact with. Kona had a great time, which means I got to have a great time too. Thank you!

Ashish and his family were fantastic hosts for our cheagle, Buddy. He clearly enjoyed his tiime in their home and Ashish shared lots of wonderful photos and videos to keep us in the loop.

So thankful to have found Robert & Brian. Robert was incredibly thoughtful in our pre-visit discussion. He asked so many insightful questions...and sent amazing photos of her adventures. I almost felt bad for picking her up, like her vacation was over! 😂

My dog Bentley had great stays with Ross, Melissa and Millie. I love their dog friendly home and caring attitude. They provided lots of fun updates with pics and videos, which put my mind at ease. Great experience.

Lucas was very responsive to my communications and was flexible with our situation (I needed someone to watch our dog when I had to give birth to my daughter). He did a great job of taking care of our dog.

Otis just spent the last 10 days at what we call "Lux Summer Camp". Honestly, we can't imagine a better fit for him than with their pack. He comes back more enriched and with better socialization skills, joyful, and energized. Stephanie shares photos and updates each day about their adventures that kept us laughing and honestly feeling a little jealous. We could not recommend her and Sunny more!

My dog had a wonderful stay. He leans very anxious, but quickly felt at ease with Mary. She took her time and allowed him to warm up at his pace, and followed up with great attention to detail and many updates. We will be back for another stay!

Eiko is the best! She watched our two dogs for a few days and they had a great time with her. She is very responsive and kind, sends photos and videos, and ensures the dogs are happy. Highly recommend her!

Absolutely loved Kai’s stay with Yuko! I had 4 trips over 3 months and was feeling guilty and worried about leaving Kai again for 6 days. We did a meet and greet and right away I felt comfortable that Kai would be well cared for. Yuko was flexible, so caring, and communicative - I received videos and updates about Kai’s state and whether she was eating well. I was so comforted knowing Kai was with loving dog sitters and had doggie friends to play with. Highly recommend!

This was Mango’s second stay with Angela. She was great to communicate with, took great care of Mango. Sent us lots of photos and updates. Highly recommend. Thanks Angela!

Shelley took great care of my senior dog Winston and kept me updated of his stay. She’s so easy to communicate with and super friendly! Her home is nice and clean with everything doggies need for a vacation away from home. Thank you so much! Will definitely ask you to help with Winston again, lucky to have you taking care of my old pal! ❤️❤️❤️
