“Jamie has been such a good addition to my dog team. Roxy, the very busy cattle dog, is sweet but reactive and headstrong. Jamie handles her so well. Roxy loves her, and she’s getting her walk needs met while I’m down with a broken arm. Highly recommend Jamie!”

“Adriana has been excellent! very responsive and communicative - it's been a joy to work with her and I trust her with my boy completely (an 80 lbs. 8 year old dog who loves all his smells and peeing on everything!).”

“Kaylah is awesome!! She is so kind to my dog, and he was instantly comfortable around her! She is timely, keeps you informed, professional, and all around reliable! Both me and my dog think she’s the best!”

About: Hi! My name is Sam and I have taken care of both domestic and exotic animals my whole life. It is one of my passions. My schedule is flexible since I work night shifts and am available during the day time hours and can easily swing by and check in on your pet! I have no problems coming to your home as long as you leave instructions on care for your furbaby. I’d love to take them on walks, play, provide pet hygiene, and of course meal time!
About: I live in Strathmore and work downtown. My absolute favorite things in life are my sons (who are amazing human beings!) and animals. Now that my sons are independent and out of the house, I enjoy being around and caring for animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals (e.g., dogs, cats, tarantulas, snakes, insects, and more). And I have had and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from mini dachshunds with serious Napoleon complexes to larger-than-life Rottweilers and Great Danes. If you need a trustworthy, reliable, and affordable caregiver, feel free to reach out. :) Please note: Rate adjustments are available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Happy to work around your needs. I work in downtown Syracuse, so I can help with mid-day potty breaks for pets who live in Syracuse when needed. I have a fenced-in yard and live right across from Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place for walks if your pet needs to stay with me. I'm also happy to stay at clients' homes.
“Kristin was great. I needed someone to walk my dog a few times on a sunday evening. She was able to meet me and Oakley before, and check out my apartment so there were no issue the day of. She provided pictures and updates, along with beginning and ending walk times. It helped keep me at ease, and I highly recommend her!”


About: I'm an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter that has a passion for dogs and rescuing them. I have been involved in dog rescue and fostering in the Syracuse area for a number of years. I've cared for a number of my own dogs and cats from young to seniors. I've also been a foster parent to a number of dogs when rescues needed someone. I can handle the most challenging of dogs down to little babies and everything in between. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention when I'm around! I give all dogs the same love and affection I would give my own dog and see the importance of cuddle and buddy time along with good exercise. I show confidence when I'm with a dog so that they know there is trust with me from the beginning. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I am always available after 3:00 p.m. during the week, before 8:00 a.m. or anytime on the weekends. I've got a very pet friendly home. I live in a single story, ranch house that has a fully fenced back yard. I do not have children at home that we would need to worry about and I'm very respectful if needed to go into a client's home. Safety and security are always at the forefront.
About: Hi there! I'm Macenzie, and I'm excited to offer loving and professional care for your pets. I’ve always had a deep passion for animals, and over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether it’s a playful puppy in need of training or a senior dog requiring extra attention, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What sets me apart from other sitters is my commitment to understanding each pet’s unique needs. I have a background in puppy training, senior pet care, and disabled pet care, which allows me to offer tailored care. I’m patient, dependable, and enjoy providing enrichment activities that keep pets mentally and physically stimulated. I also specialize in handling special needs pets, ensuring they receive the extra care they deserve. Whether it's a short stay or long-term care, your pet will be treated like family. Let’s connect and see how I can make your pet’s day brighter! Although I work full-time, I’m available during evenings and most weekends! During weekdays when bookings overlap with my work schedule, I do ask that pets are comfortable going about 8 hours between potty breaks. Since my apartment doesn’t allow pets, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I believe that a familiar environment helps pets feel safe and relaxed, and I focus on maintaining their routine as much as possible. I prioritize safety, trust, and ensuring your pet feels secure while you're away. Whether it's feeding, playing, or administering medications, I provide personalized care that meets your pet's specific needs. I’m also diligent about keeping your home tidy and respecting your space. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with me, receiving lots of attention and care in a safe, familiar environment.
About: **Im sorry but I will not accept a next day booking if I have never met your dog previously, it's for safety's sake!** I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a little kid. All the dogs growing up were considered "my dogs" by everyone else in the house. I currently have two well behaved dogs, a husky who enthusiastically learned to do basic tricks and a special needs staffie that is a certified couch potato. If your baby has a medication regimen, I can make sure it gets followed. We can be as lazy or active as your baby needs me to be. I also have extensive experience with cats and some experience with ball pythons. My human kids are adults now, so I spend most of my waking time doting over my fur babies; I could consider yours a part of my pack if you'd like! If your dog is an adventurer we can walk for hours. I have two very friendly dogs and two...lets just call them tolerant...cats. I love just watching them go, so I am very engaged with the babies all day long. I'm good at following instructions and I can crate your pet as I come and go if you wish.
“Allison is very sweet and super reliable! We have a high energy 1 year old dog and she’s great and burning his energy during the day while we’re at work! She goes above and beyond for our Theo! 🐾”

“Alyssa was great with our dog! She is very responsive and provided regular updates when she took our dog on a walk. I would highly recommend her and definitely consider her again for the future!”

About: I’ve been a pet sitter for many years for friends/ neighbors in my home and theirs. I have had pets since I’m 5. I have A great love for animals. I’ve been a foster and have 3 pets of my own right now. I am also part of the rescue community and volunteer to help homeless pets. I promise to take care of your pet as if it was my own. I will walk your dogs as long as they have a harness and/ or watch your dog or cats. I’m a special education teacher, so I’m very experienced with behavior modification. I look forward to hearing from you and having the opportunity to care for your pets. Have a purrrfect tailwagging kind of day!! ThanksSue and be I will take your dog for walks, love them, Snuggle. I can also keep them company in their own home too. I do drop ins. I am retired, I’m available on most days and times. I can usually manage my schedule around your needs. Let me know when your fur baby needs someone to take care of them. I only take 1-2 dogs for daycare. I feel I offer a calmer environment for those clients and dogs who don’t want to place their dogs with many other dogs during the day. I can give them a lot more attention. I can also care for your dog for longer hours past regular daycare hours. It is for this reason I have extended time rates at 5.00 for each additional hour past 9 hours. I have a fully 6 ft fenced in yard. I watch them when they are outside. I can play with them inside or out depending on the weather. I keep my gate locked. I’m retired so my days are pretty flexible . I can play with them inside or in the backyard. If it’s too hot or cold we stay in. My yard is completely fenced in with a 6 ft wooden fence. They are like family when they stay with us. Let me know if any special needs.i also take guinea pigs and rabbits.
Lakefront dog parents share their Rover experiences
Carly has been wonderful with my senior dog. She is patient with him and goes above and beyond to help him get outside and enjoy his walks. I also appreciate her flexibility when I have asked for earlier or additional visits for him. Been such a relief to have her check in on him when I am at work🙂

Diana has been great with Cooper. He is usually a timid dog, but he feels very comfortable with her. Diana is also very responsive, and sometimes I've reached out to her at the last minute to check in with Cooper, and she has always accommodated us. She is reliable, great with dogs and a pleasure to work with.
We’ve been so lucky to have Jennah taking care of our pup from the time she was just 8 weeks old, all the way through her first year. Super reliable, great at keeping us updated with how the walks went (plus lots of adorable photos!). Jennah was consistent with training reinforcement, whether it was leash manners, basic commands, or working through little puppy quirks at each stage. Jennah clearly loves dogs, and genuinely treats them like her own. Highly recommend!
