“Nia was awesome with my dog! she sent me pics and updates after every walk. my dog got plenty of exercise and love, and it’s clear she really cares about animals. super trustworthy and easy to work with. i’ll 100% have her walk my dog again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and all sorts of pets so I have been around them my entire life! I currently have an English Bulldog and a Boston Terrier who I trained when she was a puppy! In addition to this, I petsit for multiple families in my neighborhood! This ranges from overnight stays to just walking/playing outside. I am experienced with dogs of all sizes as most of my clients from home have large breeds! I also work at a dog daycare/boarding facility in the summer and volunteer at the CNYSPCA during my free time in college :) I’m currently a student at Syracuse University so during the week I have class certain days but am free before/after that and free over the weekends as well. I am very flexible when it comes to weekday scheduling as I am always willing move things around to make everything easier for you! I am a huge animal lover so know that I treat every animal with kindness and love. I will always make sure they are fed on time, have clean water in their bowls, can go on frequent walks/let outside, and lots of cuddles!
“Cori & Jamie were so wonderful with my dog for a 2 hour sit! They monitored her in the heat and was sure to give her breaks when needed. They communicated clearly and effectively, and clearly have a love for animals shown through their quality care!”
“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”
“10/10! Absolutely fantastic! My dog is scared with strangers he doesn’t know. Sarah spent 40 minutes warming him up, giving him treats and taking him out for a potty! She was willing to work on making my dog nice and comfortable, which was fantastic. I am very comfortable with her watching over my dog! I know she is taking care of him & is treating him as her own!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8-9 years old, taught proper care and handling as well as respect for all. I have experience giving medicine regularly and as needed, bathing and brushing, assessing comfort levels and giving good ol’fashion belly rubs. I am familiar with strict meal plans and the importance of keeping up their established routines. I follow your furry friends lead, never forcing unwanted attention and respecting their boundaries. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to help watch your lovable puppers and cats! I am available 6AM-1PM everyday with my afternoon/evening availability changing weekly, only requiring a few days notice to work out our game plan. I am currently available for in-home visits and walks, and am fully capable of running around with your dog when needed! I respect all house rules and keep clients updated upon arrival and when I’m departing.
“Adriana was an incredible help with our nervous dog who can be a bit ~weird~ with strangers; she had our boy snuggling on the couch with her in just one weekend. She gives great updates and calmed every worry we had this weekend.”
“This dog walk was part of a weekend stay. Alyssa was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, Nico, while I was away. She was kind and gentle with Nico. She was always available and communicated with me timely. I’m so grateful for her help. Highly recommended!”
“Hannah was so prompt and accommodating for us. She is a delight to work with, and you can tell how much she loves dogs. My timid girl went right up to her, and that says a lot! I’m so happy we met Hannah.”
About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
“Anne is always wonderful with my pets, she always does a great job sending a detailed description of her visit along with pictures. I always look forward to her updates and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“We hired Amber to walk our dog every afternoon for 2.5 wk. Amber was punctual, cheerful, very gentle and careful with the dog, who liked her. Communication was good, particularly during difficult weather. On two days, we knew in advance that we had to change location for her to park her car upon arrival, and that went very smoothly. We will definitely have Amber on the top of our list for any future pupcare needs!”

Jadyne M.
“Jadyne is an absolutely amazing and very considerate pet sitter! I went out of town to visit family for over 2 weeks, and she was fantastic with coming in daily to check up on my cats. She stayed for a few hours at a time every day to check up on their automatic food and water feeders, as well as clean up their litterbox. I was especially appreciative of her attention to detail with the litterbox, since one of my cats is quite picky with the litterbox setup. Jadyne was able to accommodate her pickiness with no issues, which gave me enormous peace of mind on my trip! I was also grateful that Jadyne was willing to stay for a little bit during each visit to spend time with my cats and play with them so they wouldn't get too lonely. She frequently sent photos and videos so I knew they were doing okay, and communication was a breeze.”

Amber did an excellent job. She fulfilled all of my expectations, and then some. She alerted me to a possible tick bite and was tuned in to my golden’s issues with the high temperatures and modified the route for more shade. I would seek her out again if the need arises.
Karlie was everything you would want in someone to walk your dog. She was loved and trusted by my Golden, Gracie and willingly went out for walks. Karlie was prompt and responsible and remembered all the details. I would not hesitate to recommend or book her in the future.
