About: Not toot my own horn BUT "toot toot" I'm amazing ! I've worked at shelters for special needs animals, owned 4 dogs my entire life, and I am constantly watching fur babies. I LOVE IT, ITS MY PASSION ! There's no one better, because I invest all my love into it ! Perfect person for time away, because theres always someone home here ! Also, I work a job that allows me to work from home or pop in and out at my leisure Here most of the houses are family owned , so babies are always safe and around a familiar face. yard area is available and utilized in back , but isn't fully fenced In. I have very free schedule and work mostly at a “set your own pace structure”. On the rare instances I have to leave I am gone no more than 4 hours. Always someone home to supervise and play with our guest! Comfort and safety are my top priorities, so your fur baby will always be watched carefully or accommodated based on your instructions.

“Tim handled my dog very well and gave me a peace of mind!”


4. Jamie E.

“Jamie is the BEST! We have a super nervous, occasionally reactive dog, and within two thirty minute walks, she’s my dog’s new best friend. She’s great at recognizing body language of dogs, and is always sure to take pictures of my baby on walks and send them over. She also checked to see what tricks Goose knew, and refreshes them with him on every walk. We’re so glad to have her as part of his weekly routine :)”


5. Anne S.
“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.”


6. Kristin L.

“Kristen has been a huge help with my 9 month old golden retriever. She has been flexible with her schedule and great with communication. She is very friendly and Winnie enjoyed greeting her at the door for a daily walk. Highly recommend.”


7. Luis W.

“Luis took amazing care of my big, energetic dog. Excellent communication and wonderful pics. I felt very comfortable having Cooper with him and would definitely hire him again!”


8. Cassandra D.

“Cassandra did a great job walking our dog. She was flexible in her scheduling and timely in her responses. Due to the hot weather, she wisely provided water and shade breaks which I appreciated. Thank you Cassandra, I will use you again in the future!”


9. Patricia U.
“Trish stepped in when our usual dog walker wasn’t availed for the week. Trish was great with our two dogs. Our German Shepherd tends to pull and our Chihuahua tends to lag behind, but Trish handled them both with such patience. We will definitely be using Trish any time we need a fill in.”


10. Alyssa P.

“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”


11. Anastasia B.

“Anastasia was so great with our dog. She has a great demeanor around him and he was immediately comfortable around her! We would highly recommend her services!”


12. Amber M.

“Just AWESOME-- short notice booking/no m&g due to time constraint; on time and fun, confident... My young and high-energy beagle didn't even howl he was out the door perkily jaunting down the street with her in about 60 seconds -- she made both of us comfortable and I got time to get ready with ease. Thanks Amber!”


13. ilana E.

“Excellent with kozey”


14. Rachel L.

“Rachel was great, came at the last minute very accommodating and kind.”


15. August S.

“Our dog is shy and has separation anxiety, but August did a great job making him feel comfortable and safe with a new person! We would definitely recommend them to anybody, but especially those with tricky and nervous pets who need a little extra patience!”


16. Taylor S.

“Taylor is a gem! She was great with my dog (and my kids) during a super-cold, super-snowy Syracuse weekend when I couldn’t get out for walks. She was very communicative and even added an extra walk in between her own work to help me out. Would absolutely recommend!”


17. Skyler S.
“Skyler has watched my dogs multiple times and has always done a great job! I go back to her anytime I need assistance and know I can trust her. She goes above and beyond to make my dogs happy and healthy!”


18. Maggie H.

“Excellent with Kozey. Was very aware of heat and took great care with her”


19. Allyanna O.
“Allyanna has been the person I turn to when I am leaving my dogs home for a day or more. She always ensures they are loved on, go on a walk, get the necessities they need and with picture updates. With my dogs being two larger breeds it is often hard to find someone who isn’t intimidated to play with them as I do.”

About: I have over 30 years of experience with dogs. As an animal lover who grew up with Guinea pigs, turtles, rabbits and dogs, I've always considered my pets to be part of the family. I have trained all of my dogs in my adult life. I have an adult son, with special needs and trained one of my dogs to be his worker and helper. I love taking my son's dog's hiking, running, walking, swimming as well as other activities including throwing balls, frisbee catching, walking hiking or swimming. I love all dogs no matter the size or breed. I have a very flexible which allows me to spend more time with my favorite Furry Friends. I usually don't work on weekends or evenings and have a lot of time during the week where I have time to care for your loved one. Most recently, I have a refused a kitten named Scar who is 10 months old. 😸 I'm now working.part time and have a very flexible schedule to take care of your furry friends, either in my home or yours! My children are grown and I am an empty nester with tons of love to give. I live in an animal friendly apartment building with a fenced backyard and close to many walking trails. I also live close to Onondaga Lake hiking trails.
