Dog Boarding in Elmwood, Syracuse, NY

“I can't say enough great things about Eden and the care she provides. If you are a pet owner and your dog means the world to you, choose her for your dogs needs when you’re away. Eden cares for your dog as if they were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and kind. She is also very flexible, reliable and provides very personalized service. I’m very happy with her and you will be too.”

“Amber was really great with our Dixie. We received so many photos of our girl and updates throughout the day. When we went to pick her up, she was nice and cozy tucked in in the dog bed. She looked so happy. Thank you.”

“We can't say enough good things about Georgianne. We were in a tight spot needing a couple days of care for our senior dog on about four hours' notice. Georgianne responded right away to our messages and wasn't fazed to hear that Cooper was under the weather and on some medicine. She is an obvious animal lover, provided wonderful care and company for Cooper, and sent pics of him relaxing each day. THANK YOU GEORGIANNE.”

“My 3 month old puppy spent the day with Britany and her family. This is my first pet and first time using Rover. Ai couldnt have had a better first experience! Britany was super prepared and I didn't have to bring anything except for food. She sent pictures and kept me updated throughout the day. My puppy was super tired from all the fun she had.

Our dog Winston, who demands a great deal of human attention, stayed with Mary for 9 days and had a fabulous time. He was well care for and Mary provided updates on a regular basis as requested. She will always be our first choice for Winston.”

“Joan and Duncan did a great job taking care of Joey while I was out of town for 6 days! Sent me regular pictures and updates, followed all of my instructions, and Joey came back to me healthy and happy. It is clear they really care about dogs. I will definitely hire them again!”

About: I'm a self-employed writer, editor and newsletter author. I grew up with dogs, have owned several dogs, and have cared for other people's dogs since my beagle, Bailey, crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2021. I missed her so much I started offering dog/house sitting services. Dogs are such great company and I know how important it is to have peace of mind about their care when you’re away. I take pride in personal, hands-on pet care. I have the ability to work from home most days, so I will have plenty of time to walk, play and snuggle with your dog. If I'm staying in your home and pet/house sitting, I bring my computer and work with me, so I will be with your dog as much as possible. I prefer to host/care for dogs that are crate trained and come with a crate. I have a partially fenced yard. I expect that I will walk your dog several times a day and only take your dog in our yard on a leash or lead and with supervision. At your home, I will maintain your dog's schedule and routines.

“To all pet parents considering Katherine Z. for pet sitting or dog walking: I cannot recommend her enough. Not only did she graduate from the esteemed Cornell Veterinary School, but her professional demeanor and meticulous attention to detail ensure that every pet is given the utmost care. I’ve personally witnessed Katherine care for animals, and her dedication to their well-being is unparalleled. With her veterinary background, you can be confident that your beloved pets are in the safest, most knowledgeable hands. Katherine doesn’t just see this as a job; she genuinely loves and understands animals. Trusting her with your pets is one of the best decisions you can make.”

“First time using Rover, and had such a great experience. Deborah was great, she treated our Yorkie Dash as he was her own. We will definitely be using her again. Thanks Deborah!!!”

“Kathleen was the absolute best, I needed a last minute dog sitter for the weekend and she saved the day. She took great care of my pups and their anxiety from just moving here and walked me through the entire process with daily photos and updates. Would 100% trust her with my dogs again.”

“Amanda was amazing! She has experience with different kinds of dogs with different temperaments, she gave some great training tips and lots of walk photos. Would definitely use again!”

“I am so happy that we found Carly to take care of our chocolate lab, Laika. Carly sent me picture and text updates, and was amazingly flexible with us when our flight back to Syracuse got delayed, and then got delayed again! We felt very confident that Laika was well taken care of, and we will absolutely seek Carly out again next time we need to board our dog. Would definitely recommend!”

“Corbin and his family both human and canine did a wonderful job making Lena feel welcome. She had a great time!”

About: Working late and need someone to let out Fido? Look no further! I am more than ready to walk, play, and care for your furry family member! I am quite prepared and familiar with handling animals as I've pet-sat for family and friends as side work before joining Rover. Additionally, I also offer a year of animal care experience through my local veterinary office and am CPR certified! When I'm not with animals I am a full time employee at Upstate as an ultrasound technologist! I have no children or other pets in my home which allows me to dedicate all my attention to your pet to provide the upmost care and handling. I hope I can meet your furry friend soon! I currently work night shift which means I am awake and ready to start my day in the late afternoon! Additionally I only work 4 days a week which allows 3 full days to myself to walk and board dogs! I live in a smoke free/pet free apartment which means boarding your pet would allow them to get my sole undivided attention. I have no children so my day to day life consists of my solitude - walking on Rover is more of an escape for me and a way to go out more (with the company of a furry friend!)
