“Jamie has been stellar w/ my challenging pitbull! I've noticed a positive change in his overall temperament since she became part of his care team. She is easy to work with and schedule. Definitely recommend.”

About: My husband and I own our home in the Sedgwick neighborhood, which has a fenced-in backyard and lots of safe space for long walks and playtime. We do not own a dog at the moment, so we have plenty of energy and love to go around! We also have years of experience caring for our dogs and sitting for friends who own dogs in a wide range of sizes and breeds. I pride myself on how well dogs listen to me when I try to train them to listen and maybe try a trick or two to keep their minds engaged and give them an enriching daily life. Please consider hiring us; your furry friends will be safe in very loving and nurturing hands. We both work less than 15 minutes away from home (Mon-Fri, 830-4) with full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Because of our sedentary work lives, we try to stay active when we're not working with lots of walks and time outside. Owning our own home with a fenced-in yard allows us to give dogs of any size the room to explore and rest wherever they feel comfortable. We are attentive and LOVE the energy that a dog brings to our home. Having a pet around makes all the difference, especially when we can tell that they feel safe and enriched with play and comfort every day. Pet sitting is a win-win-win for us, your pet, and you!

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. :) Rate adjustments available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work around your needs and priorities. I work weekdays in downtown Syracuse. Near-by drop-ins are an option when needed. Completed first aid (for dogs and cats) courses because health and safety are always super important. I have a fenced-in yard and live next to Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place to walk! ✨

“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!”

About: Schedule-Monday through Friday 6-2:30 I work and weekends off 🫠😁Animals have always been a part of my life growing up. Some of my family has a farm which I got to experience and learn from. I would walk a dog named Molly. She belonged to an older person who struggled with it. All 4 years of high school I was responsible for her grooming, as well as making sure she had plenty of extra love. I truly enjoyed the trust of this pet parent, and Molly that I gained from this time. I wish to continue that commitment now with the pet parents I will be able to meet on here. I truly hope to get the chance to gain your, and your pets trust by reaching there needs. -Christian Rosario My week is surrounded around taking care of my own home and animals. I have flexible hours with my job. If I am unable to be home my girlfriend is there all through the week. She only works weekends as a traveling vet assistant. On those days I am home to reach our animals and your pets needs. They will always be given attention and love. I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs of my own who are trained and help me train other dogs. Both are working emotional support dogs, as we understand they need a purpose to feel a part of the pack. Our house is big enough that no animals have to be together at any point. If this makes pet owners more comfortable and would like there pets separated to enjoy some alone time.

About: Hello! I graduated high school in 2022. During my senior year I attended the Bixhorn Technological Center for Animal Science Boces. There I learned a plethora of skills and knowledge including but not limited to, both animal behavior and phycology, as well as husbandry, nutrition, and grooming. I am trained and capable of administering insulin, as well as I have experience caring for disabled and paralyzed dogs:) I first joined rover in 2024 while attending community college on Long Island, since then I’ve worked a variety of farm jobs as well. Most recently the Suffolk county farm; there I was responsible for the care and livelihood of a variety of livestock from poultry, goats, pigs, llamas, horses, and cows. Please feel free to reach out with questions about farm help as well I would love to do it again! I stepped back from rover this past year for personal reasons, however I just transferred to SUNY ESF and would love to get back into pet care! Right now, I am attending SUNY ESF here in Syracuse NY. I am looking to explore the city and help others with needed pet care :) I am available for overnight care if contacted in advance, but I am always available for regular potty breaks, walks, and play time as needed. I have experience both coming for visits and staying in home for pet sitting,

About: I grew up in Florida surrounded by a wide variety of animals including dogs, and I love being able to care for people’s fur babies like they’re my own. I have experience dog-sitting, dog-walking, and I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’m currently working a part-time job at a bookstore while pursuing my Master’s online through SU, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I can easily provide your pet with company in your home or simply go provide them with care and fulfill their needs before leaving. Whatever works best for you! I’ve also house-sit before and stayed with a person’s pet to ensure their dog never felt lonely or without care.

“Well communicative and caring dog walker. Took nice pictures and always kept me updated on how my dog was behaving. Very grateful to be able to hire her on such short notice”

“John is an excellent dog walker and care taker! Having someone come by my place that I trust is a huge relief. Even in warmer weather Benny still got outside and got great exercise. Thanks so much John!”

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for roughly the last 5 years. I love how sweet and cuddly animals are and I hope you will trust me to watch yours! I currently work full time, so I am available during weekends and after 5pm! I still have plenty of time to play with your animals💗 Though I do not have any animals of my own, whenever I watch someone else’s, I treat them like I would if they were mine 💗 I keep an active eye on them and make sure they aren’t supposed to get into anything they shouldn’t be in.

“Nicole is amazing. From the very start she was reliable with messages and prompt in showing up to my home. My dog Toto just adored her. He willingly left for his walk, tail wagging, on each occasion. I would highly recommend Nicole for animal care. She is a gem!!”

“Farboud is a great individual who genuinely loves animals. He watched my dog Molly on several occasions, and she always seemed like she had a good time with him. I really appreciated his help and attentiveness to my dog's needs. He over-exceeded my expectations and was a pleasant person to communicate with.”

“Tiera was great with my 5 month old gsp puppy. She has a lot of energy but she wrangled her well. This was my first time leaving her alone or hiring a dog walker so I was a little nervous but Tiera was awesome and I appreciated the updates and photos of her walks. I’ll definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I am great with animals, dogs love being around me. I enjoy being outside walking them. My experience as a dog walker is limited to my friend’s dog, Leo, who I often dog sat. Being with Leo brought me such joy. It also created space for my friend to prioritize other important tasks for she knew Leo was in trusted hands. I am available for dogs walk from 5pm- 7pm on Tuesday’s and Wednesdays. Sundays 2pm-5pm. Saturday from 12pm- 7pm. Overall this is an exciting part of my day that I look forward to. I walk dogs only when they are on a leash. I bring treats to incentivize the walk. I Give them time to rest, poop and play.

About: I work from home, so I am always available for the pets! I love all ages, puppies to older dogs. I had a dog growing up, she just recently passed, so I have experience with all ages. I work from home, so I am available to be with the pets all day long. I love to go on walks so I would love to bring them along with me! I have a dog crate available, and I live in a very safe neighborhood, I will make sure to never leave the pets alone too!

“This was my first time booking a dog walker. I was so excited that Heather had a dog she could bring! Both dog and Heather were friendly, professional, and on time. Walk went well and we’ll be booking again. Thanks!”

“Excellent care- thank you, Marie!!”

About: I’ve had dogs in my home my entire life! So I know how to adapt to the needs of animals as well as do a good job keeping them entertained! I’ve house/pet sat for families before so I have the experience :) I’m currently full-time employed. My hours routinely are Monday-Friday 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM but they are subject to fluctuate. However, I am more than happy to stop by before/after work and take care :) I can easily crate dogs if needed, I have used them before in house sitting for families. If given basic instructions, I can easily learn and utilize whatever needed for your fur babies
