“Margaret was a great sitter for our two boys, and our home while away. She was a reliable communicator, knowledgeable, and most importantly our animals felt comfortable with her! Thanks Margaret!”
“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”
About: I am very intuitive to what animals needs are. I’m patient and pets safety is my top priority! Comforting animals is a blessing that I can’t get enough of! My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.
“Marie was wonderful with Bailey. We were away for long stretch and Maria sent many photos and videos which helped being away less stressful. Maria was very communitive and respectful. I would not hesitate to ask Maria to take care of our Bailey.”
“Kara was great with my dogs. I have a grumpy old lady and a young and hyper cuddle butt. Kara was took excellent care of both of them. She watched them in our house and was also an excellent house guest. I would absolutely recommend her and will use her again.”
“I would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone! From the start she was warm and welcoming to Bentley. Bentley has a lot of separation anxiety but grew to love Hannah right away. She kept me updated with countless pictures and responded right away to any text. She left my apartment even more clean than how I left it 😂 100000/10 recommend!”
“Tommy did a fantastic job house sitting and taking care of Gigi. With constant updates and communication it made the week away go by fast without having to worry. He left the house neat and clean and Gigi was happy. I will be using him again. Highly recommend!”
“Rachel is great. She clearly loves dogs, and our boy Rufus responded really well to her gentle deneanor. She was communicative and easy to deal with in terms of appointment set up. We look forward to working with her again!”
About: Ive taken care of my families dogs for the last 15 years and always made sure they were well cared for. Friends also entrusted me with the care of their animals knowing that I am no stranger to difficult animals and messy situations. I have also been a volunteer at local animal shelters and know how to handle larger and more difficult to walk animals. I have a senior dog now so I also understand the care that goes into helping animals who are struggling I have a dog in my home who has a torn ACL. He has difficulty with stairs and walks so I ice his leg daily and carry him up the stairs. I make sure also to feed him his medication and ensure he is always comfortable given his aches and pains. While I cannot do boarding, within other homes, I will walk and play with animals constantly. I love interacting with pets and find joy in spending time doing what animals love, whether it be snuggled up on the floor, playing tug of war or going on long walks. Any dietary needs or medical care animals require I am well equipped and prepared for all the above
“Nia was really great with my senior pup! She was able to give him the extra attention that he needed in order to make him comfortable while we were away. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated the entire time we were away. I would highly recommend her!”
“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Ralph was wonderful and took great care of our new laser dog, Zoey. He shared updates everyday while we were on vacation as well as assisted with watering our plants throughout the house! Ralph shared daily photos and updates about his time watching Zoey! We highly recommend Ralph and will plan to work with in the future!”
“Abbie is friendly, flexible and communicated great! We knew our pups were in good hands. She sent us pictures and updated us while we were away. Highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her in the future, thank you Abbie ☺️”
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!
“Julia did such an awesome job looking after our pets! We could really relax and enjoy our weekend away, knowing they were in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again, thank you!!”

“Eva has pet sat for my sweet boy (cat), Simon, periodically for over a year. Initially I was nervous because he is a shy boy, but Eva is a true animal whisperer and he took right to her! Each time she stays with him I receive frequent picture updates which gives me peace of mind - not too mention she is a gifted photographer! I feel so much less anxiety going out of town knowing I can always rely on her to watch Simon. She is very friendly and personable and a pleasure to work with- would recommend!”
