House Sitting Lyons

“We were in desperate need of someone we could trust to watch our anxious rescue pup, Piper, during our wedding weekend. Lana was extremely patient with both Piper, and my husband and I, even agreeing to meet us several times before the stay to get us all comfortable. She sent numerous pictures and updates, which calmed our nerves so we could fully enjoy our wedding. Thank you Lana for taking great care of Piper, we will definitely be contacting her again if we ever need someone to dog sit Piper in the future.”

“Brittany was amazing with my dog Roo! She was able to watch her last minute due to travel plans changing and provided me with tons of updates. Roo is a little quirky and is on the anxious side but brittany made sure to give her plenty of love and attention.”

About: I have lots of experience with my own dog, who is an 11 1/2 year old yellow lab named Luna that at I've had since she was a puppy. She's been through a few surgeries, eye issues, etc. that l've taken care of. She and l are pet therapy certified through The Bright & Beautiful Therapy Dogs. I have dog sat for multiple people, but almost always while staying at their house. I'm able to take them on walks (long or short), feed them, administer medication, and make sure they get their movement in. I have not taken care of as many cats, but I am able to feed, change litter, and play with them. I'm not as well-versed in cat behavior as I am with dog behavior. I’m working remotely so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your dogs. I’m available pretty much anytime but request at least two days notice. I have a fenced in backyard. My dog is very friendly with others and mostly just minds her own business. I don’t have an extra crate available.

“Yana is beyond wonderful! Our Charlie is so comfortable with her and she truly takes great care of him. We are spoiled having her to take care of our very spoiled “with love” Charlie ❤️”

“Jordyn was great! She was great with my dog and was very kind and communicative. We were new to Rover so it was a great first experience. I’ll definitely request her again!”

Kim C.

“She was amazing! I don’t trust everyone with my dog. My dog loved her. She arrived on time and did everything I asked. Will be using her again! ❤️”

“Connie did a great job taking care of our cat, Marvel, while we were away for one week. It was the first time Marvel was pet sat without her sister, Tasha, our dog who recently passed. Through this adjustment, Marvel certainly gave Connie a run for her money, but Connie made sure she was handled with care. We appreciated Connie's communication and commitment, and we hope to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Connie!!”

“Irina is an awesome sitter! Came over a few days before our event to meet our dog; she asked great questions, wrote down my answers and got a long great with our dog. She walked her multiple times, played with her in the our yard, and sent lots of photos. She was flexible with the end time, as we were attending an event and were not sure of when it would end. Thanks so much Irina!”

“Kim was amazing! Both of our pets took to her instantly, which is saying a lot for our cat. Kim took great care of them both, sent lots of pics, and kept us up to date. Highly recommend!”

“Isabel is awesome! She has a great energy and was so loving and attentive towards my dog. She also was easy to communicate with, very accommodating, and sent me lots of pictures. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be reaching out to her again to care for my dog. Thanks so much, Isabel!”

About: My partner and I have been dog sitting for five years. Prior to that, we both grew up with family dogs and are very familiar and comfortable with a wide variety of dogs and breeds. We are incredibly enthusiastic, loving, and kind towards all animals. A stay with us if fun for your pet and for us! We love going on walks, and we live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex/neighborhood. We hope you’ll have your furry friend come stay with us! I am dog-sitting full time and my wife, Kayla, works remotely from home most days. Together we give your dogs the utmost care and attention. Attentiveness is the most important thing for us when with pets. In our home, we make sure that we can see the dog playing at all times. We put items away that are not dog-friendly, and we clear out space for playing and downtime. On walks, we are always attentive to the dog and how they behave and interact with other people, dogs and other animals in the neighborhood. A stay with us is always fun for the dog, but we like to make sure that your pet is safe and cared for. We also value communication. You putting your pet in our care while you are away, and we understand the trust that it takes to leave a member of your family with us. We give as many updates as you’d like via messenger and numerous photos or videos throughout the day. We are always reachable and willing to let you know how your dog’s stay is going. I’m currently working remotely. I tutor part-time from home, but I’m almost always home and I make pet sitting a priority. I used to be a teaching assistant, so I am very reliable and used to being responsible for others’ loved ones. I live in a very safe apartment complex. The buildings look like town homes, it is away from the main roads, and the complex Is pet friendly with lots of grass areas for your little guy or girl to do their business. It’s a wonderful welcoming community. I have my own entrance to my apartment and all the dogs in the community are wonderful.

“Emily was incredible! Knowledgeable, polite, and quick to message you back. Took care of our very energetic sighthound puppy with no issues. Thank you so much!”

About: I have been petsitting for over 10 years now! I absolutely love animals, and I see it as a real gift to care for other people’s beloved companions. I’ve had the pleasure of sitting for both cats and dogs, and earlier this year I also ran a small farm on my own for three weeks, caring for goats and chickens. I pride myself on being responsible, reliable, and deeply caring; maintaining structure and routine for animals while also offering plenty of affection, cuddles, and attention. I’m really looking forward to meeting you and caring for your home and pets! I am a writer who uses petsitting opportunities to focus on my writing! I also teach yoga & playwriting and host events! My weekly routine is pretty flexible in many ways so if you have a unique time or petsitting request, please reach out! I take being in other people's homes to be a matter of great responsibility and care. I have had the honor of pet sitting all over the world now, and I really treat other people's homes as my home when I am there. I am very clean and attentive to details. I am also the type of person to go for long walks, meditate and do yoga. I don't drink, and enjoy the simple things in life. If you have a dog that love walks, we will be best friends.

“We were heading out of town to camp with friends for 4 nights and couldn't bring our foster dog with us. Having just moved to the Syracuse area from Michigan, we'd always relied on family or friends to help watch our dogs if we were ever out of town in the past, so we were very nervous about the idea of a stranger coming and staying in our home to watch our Ollie Bug. He's also 90+ pounds of bully muscle and can be a handful for most people (jumping, mouthing, pulling, etc.). As soon as we met Anthony, we were so relived and had confidence our foster boy was going to be in great hands! Anthony came to our home about two weeks before we left on our trip just so he could meet Ollie and spend some time with him to ensure Ollie would be comfortable with him while we were gone. He stayed for an hour and was fantastic! It was also immediately apparent Anthony was knowledgeable about canine behavior, training and how to handle big dogs who may still be learning manners. The day we left for our trip, he also came early and spent another hour with Ollie learning more about him and working with him while we were there. He asked for nothing nor expected anything for two different trips to spend extra time with Ollie before we left, going above and beyond! We got photo updates of our foster pup while we were out showing Ollie being his goofy, loveable self around Anthony and of course the house was left perfectly clean and everything in order when we returned. Don't hesitate to trust Anthony with your companion animal's care! We sure won't if we need his services again!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds since childhood. family, friends trust me to walk, feed, bathe, and give loving, reliable care to every pet. During the week I work 9–5, but I’m available on weekends and some evenings. I enjoy spending that time walking, playing, and caring for pets. In your home, I care for pets as if they were mine. feeding, walking, and playing with them. I respect your space and keep everything tidy

About: I have experience with both younger dogs and elderly dogs. I have specifically worked with senior dogs, who required special care getting around, keeping track of their medication schedule, and their diets. I'm currently working part time and remotely, so I'll have a lot of time to spend with your dogs. I also enjoy taking walks, so I'll make sure your dogs are getting the outside time they need! I have a large fenced in yard at my home, along with plenty of dog toys. I can also crate your dog if needed. There are also a few trails nearby which are easy and engaging for dogs to walk through.

“Alissa was absolutely wonderful! Prior to our vacation she came over to meet our dog, Nola, for a meet and greet so Nola could get used to her. She even came early the day we left so that Nola had someone home with her when we left. During our vacation Alissa sent tons of photos and updates. We were even shocked to see photos of Nola laying with her as she normally hides upstairs when we aren’t there. The house was left immaculate and clean. She truly was so easy to work with and took amazing care of our dog. We highly recommend her and are looking forward to using her again.”
