“We found Yan at the last minute when another dog sitter fell through. She was able to take on our 3 dogs so we could salvage our roadtrip! Our girls are timid and very high energy, but she had them walking along her happily and playing lots of fetch. She sends lots of updates and photos to keep you in the know. Our girls came home happy and wore out from all the play. Yan is a very good sitter and we will be using her again.”
“Ellen and John stepped up and helped me out with my boy Havi when I needed boarding at the last minute. They were quick to respond and very accommodating even at the last minute! They stayed in communication with me throughout and took such great care of Havi as he sometimes needs extra attention. I am beyond grateful for Ellen and John and the service and care they provided! Highly recommend and will be using them again in the future!”
“Polina is a nice intelligent person. I highly recommend her. I left my puppy for 9 nights and Polina kept in touch all the time about how my puppy is and what my puppy is doing. She really takes good care of my puppy, by walking him every 3 hours and feeding him as I asked her to. When I came to pick the puppy up, I found that the puppy was very happy, vitally joyful, and very active.”
“Luna seemed very happy and comfortable with Christine, Matt, and their family. I enjoyed the text updates and photos because I worried Luna was nervous. Wonderful to work with and excellent communication!”
“Teresa and Dan were amazing our lovely dog Brooklyn is absolutely smitten with this doggy spa and them. They’re so generous and loving. We will definitely come back.”
“Kristen is such an amazing caretaker, she made our sweet cat Frankie feel right at home. She was extremely thoughtful of what would be best for Frankie in a new place with cats and a dog he had never met. She sent lots of pictures and updates that that reassured me that Frankie was in excellent care. She was also so flexible and accommodating when our trip changed a bit at the end. I will absolutely book with Kristen again!!”
“Donna is an amazing woman with the dogs in her care. Our senior Sophia stayed with Donna recently- instead of being scared, we saw that she made new doggie friends, explored the beautiful yard, roamed the deck like it was her own. She was a happy camper! Thank you so very much Donna.”
“Being our first board with our puppy we were very apprehensive. We got numerous photos from Jocelyn a day. Many including her family. Really put us at ease. Definitely would bring her back.”
“Samantha was great with my geriatric dog. She was patient with feeding, administered all meds, and gave Annika lots of cuddles and love. It's reassuring to know that I can travel and my dog will receive the level of care she requires. Thanks, Samantha!”
“Georgianne was a great sitter. She posted picks regularly and gave me updates on how my cat was doing. She also responded very quickly whenever I messaged her. I would definitely leave my cat with Georgianne again.”
“What a great experience! Matt and Christie are very good about sending pictures every day so I felt so comfortable having my pup there. She was so worn out when I picked her up that she went right to sleep for many hours. I highly recommend them.”
“Yakelin is a miracle worker! She was not only available last minute, but was expertly qualified to handle our 2 husky puppies! The most impressive part is that they came back even more well behaved than when we dropped them off! I wish I could leave 100 stars!!!”
“Maypud is excellent! Our trip was very difficult, and we had unexpected delays with changes in pick up time to be very late at night and even changes to our location for her to drop off. Throughout the all of these challenges and changes, Maypud was lovely, communicated frequently, gave great care to our dog, so courteous and flexible. Honestly she was the best part of our difficult trip. I would 100% recommend her and use her again next time we are in Syracuse.”
About: Hi! I’m Semaj, a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Indee, my sweet and social pup who loves making new friends! I’ve cared for dogs most of my life and have become the go-to sitter for all of my friends and family. Your dog will be treated like family here. We offer a safe, cozy, and playful environment with lots of love, attention, and experience including basic training support. Whether it’s for daycare or boarding, we can’t wait to welcome your furry friend into our home! I work fully remote with a very flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I have a fully secure fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.
“Thank you so much, Molly & Nikola, for taking such amazing care of Kenyesita! She had an absolute blast on her adventures and played so much that she was completely tuckered out by the time she got home. It’s clear she was in great hands, and we truly appreciate the love and attention you gave her. We’ll definitely be booking with you again!”
About: Dogs are more than just pets, they're family! I have owned Australian Cattles Dogs for 20 years, they are the air I breathe! I have experience from basic house-training puppies, obedience, tricks to barn hunt and sheep herding. I am a stay-at-home mother which allows me to provide exceptional animal care and engagement! I have cared for my dogs post-surgery and through extreme illness so I am comfortable giving medications and providing first aid care to dog who may need it. I am a stay-at-home mother of 3 children which allows me to provide exceptional care for our various animals. The dogs go in and out of the house all day long to play and potty. As the heat has been extreme this year the dogs enjoy napping inside the cool house but may stay out if they choose. Dogs get ample play time, frisbee, balls, playing with kids and of course the dog pool to cool down! Our dogs are fed 2x per day and clean water is always available. Guest dogs will have nothing less than the best care. We live on a 10 acre farm with horses, chickens, a barn cat and 2 dogs. There is no fenced in yard, if the dog has a good recall they are welcome to run free and play. Dogs that do not have a good recall will be taken out to play regularly on a long 15ft line so they may still play and enjoy while being kept safe. Our house is set back from the road about 100ft. If your dog does not get along well with other dogs or children, they can be kept separate as we have a playroom in our basement or they may stay in the laundry area behind a baby gate, there are many options, and the owner may choose what's best.
