“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.”
“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!”
“This is my second time using Teresa and Dan and I plan to continue to use them! This was a last minute booking and Teresa was so accommodating! I’d give more stars if I could! ⭐️”
“Luna loved being with Kristen. She had so much fun! Kristen was amazing and kept us to date on Luna’s day through out are trip. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Our dog, Moxie, loved her overnight stay with Donna! She sent lots of pics and video throughout the day so we could see how well she was doing. From the fenced in yard, options for space to hang out solo or with other dogs and the care shown at check in, it’s clear the dogs in her care are loved and so well cared for. We are so happy we found Donna and will definitely be reaching out when we need a sitter again.”
“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.”
“It was my first time leaving my girls with a non family member. Erix was extremely understanding and sent me updates and photos. Very easy to communicate with and loved my dogs.”
“Georgianne was a wonderful sitter for my anxious lil pup! She sent photos regularly of Sadie Mae playing with her pup Penny and just lounging around. I will be using her again! :)”
“Sam was incredibly patient with Zena! Zena was triggered by the fireworks, Sam communicated everyday with me about helping Zena to regulate her emotions, she helped soothe her, provide Zena with the space she needed to calm down. I appreciate the picture and video and feed back on how to help Zena once we pick her up. Zena was well cared for, had her own clean room to roam in and a large hard to play in all this helped reduce my anxiety about leaving her. Over all Sam was knowledge about dog breeds and understands how to work with strong-willed shibas. Definitely recommend.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!!”
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.
“I can't express how grateful I am to have found Ria and her little family through Rover! From the very beginning, she was professional, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs. While I was away, she provided regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Lily was having a great time, and getting lots of exercise, love, and attention. Her three dogs are extremely well-behaved and welcomed Lily into their pack for the weekend! The entire experience was fantastic, from the initial meet-and-greet to the end of the stay. Ria went above and beyond, leaving a detailed report of Lily's activities and behavior. I highly recommend Ria to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. Five stars!”
