“We have four cats with very different needs and very different personalities (some less social than others), but they all love Erica - she’s got a way with animals that never fails to amaze. We consider ourselves lucky to have found her!”
“Pam did an amazing job with my 3 kitties. She sent pictures with all of the updates, and was even able to win over the shy guy of the bunch. Will continue to book in the future.”
“Sherri is a wonderful sitter! Mo really enjoys her company and feels happy and safe with her. She has taken care of Mo twice now and we can’t recommend her enough.”
“Dana was wonderful taking care of my cats while I was away for 6 days. Every day she stopped in, food and watered, land then gave some attention and shared with me a report of how they were doing. Definitely will hire again!”
“Cherie took great care of our cat Jack who needed medication twice a day and has trouble with his vision. She sent us several photos each time she visited. This was our first time having drop in visits so I a little nervous at first but things went very well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their pets.”
“Lee was super awesome over the last 7/8 months. It was great to have her come check on my baby while I was at work. One less thing for me to stress about. Thank you! 😊🐶”
“Jessica was amazing with my cat! She’s been stressed from the move and I didn’t think she would come out from hiding but I got so many pictures and she seemed so happy and very playful! I would recommend Jessica to everyone I can, and I will definitely be rebooking for my next trip!”
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with our Malamute, Stella! She was great on short notice. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pups!”
About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)
“Maggie was fantastic! Quick to respond and great with my pups!!! Definitely plan to use her again in the future!!!”
“Morgan did great with our 3 cats! Two of them have special diets and are admittedly require more attention than your average cats. Did absolutely wonderful with everything!”
“You can rely on Courtney to take great care of your family's pets while you are away! She provided updates and cute photos, and our cats made friends quickly with her! Thank you, Courtney, for the last minute booking. We will definitely use you again!!!”
“This time, we went on a last minute trip to Europe and Rachel was amazing as usual! She sent so many pictures, videos, and updates the entire time. We came to home to a happy cat. She’s the best!”
About: I've spent many years working at a Pet Grooming shop in CNY spending lots of time with dogs and cats. I understand temperament and behavior very well. I know the ins and outs of pet care as I have two dogs of my own. Maxx and Winnie are both golden retrievers who love everyone and everything. If you're worried about leaving your best friend with a stranger, no need to fear with me! I'm excited to spend time with your fur baby whether it's going for walks or letting them outside. I love all kinds of animals and am ready to take care of yours! I'm currently off for the summer as I work for a school district, so I typically am available most days ! I'll try my best to update days I'm unavailable. I currently have two golden retrievers. One is a puppy, and the other is 10 years old. I do not currently have a fenced in yard.
About: Safety and well-being are my top priorities. I offer professional pet-sitting services with a focus on positive reinforcement techniques for managing aggression, comprehensive puppy training, and gentle, attentive senior care. I am skilled in reading canine body language and implementing proactive strategies to prevent incidents. Let's discuss how I can provide exceptional care for your unique dog in the Syracuse area! I am a teacher who works summer school from 8am-12pm. I have open availability from June 27th- August 20 (except 8/8-8/10). During the school year, I am free Friday nights and weekends! Okay, here's a sample answer a pet sitter might provide when asked how they care for pets in their home versus a client's home, tailored to someone who handles aggressive dogs, puppies, and seniors: "My approach to pet sitting is highly adaptable, depending on whether I'm caring for your pet in my Baldwinsville home or in the comfort of their own familiar environment. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare): I create a structured yet comfortable environment where safety is paramount. For dogs with aggression, this means they have their own secure and private space – no forced interactions with other animals. Exercise and potty breaks are always done individually and in a controlled manner, utilizing secure leashes and, if the owner uses one and the dog is comfortable, a muzzle in appropriate situations. I am vigilant in reading body language to preemptively manage any potential triggers. Puppies in my care benefit from a consistent routine, frequent potty breaks, positive reinforcement training for basic manners, and appropriate socialization opportunities if they are at a safe age and temperament for limited, controlled interactions with calm, vaccinated dogs (always with owner consent and careful supervision). My home is puppy-proofed to minimize risks. For senior pets, I provide comfortable, supportive bedding in a quiet area. I adhere to their feeding schedules and any specific needs like medication administration. I monitor their mobility and ensure they have easy access to food, water, and potty areas, adjusting exercise to their comfort level. Regardless of age or temperament, I maintain detailed records, follow your specific instructions meticulously, and provide regular updates with photos and videos. In Your Home (Drop-in Visits/Overnight Stays): My priority is to seamlessly integrate into your pet's existing routine. For all pets, this means adhering to their feeding, exercise, potty break, and medication schedules. I ensure they receive the same level of care and attention they are accustomed to. For aggressive dogs, I follow your established protocols for walks and handling. I am extremely careful about securing entry and exit points and will avoid any situations where your dog might encounter triggers, such as other dogs or unfamiliar people, unless specifically instructed and it's part of their management plan. I prioritize solitary walks and maintain a safe distance from others. When caring for puppies in your home, I reinforce your training efforts with positive reinforcement, ensure frequent potty breaks to prevent accidents, and engage them in appropriate play to burn energy. For senior pets in their own home, I ensure their comfort, administer medications as needed, assist with mobility if required, and monitor for any signs of discomfort or changes in health. In both settings, clear and consistent communication with you is key. I want to understand your pet's nuances, triggers, and preferences to provide the safest and most enriching care possible. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your unique pet is in capable and caring hands
“Melissa has been a real lifesaver for me many, many times. She's great with both my pets (a rambunctious cat and anxious dog) and can often come over on short notice. She is a great communicator and definitely will take great care of your animals! Highly recommend!”
“Alex is always so wonderful with my cat and definitely gives me peace of mind if I need to be away for a few days. He is communicative and very flexible! I always appreciate his help.”
“Kimberly was amazing! Her communication was great, she sent pictures of every walk along with a map of where they went, and overall she took wonderful care of our dog Fitz. We are so glad to have found her! :)”
About: Throughout my childhood, we always had furry members of the family. As a teenager, I never babysat for extra money, I dog-sat! I consistently cared for the pups of neighbors and family friends. I now have 2 rescue pups of my own. With the impending end of the school year, my job schedule will allow me more time over the summer to spoil my dogs and yours with love and attention. As a dog owner myself, I know how particular each dog's needs can be. I can follow explicit instructions that help you feel confident in the care of your pup. I am happy to meet with you and your pup prior to providing services!
