“Julie did a great job with our puppy, helping out by walking and feeding him when we were away for a day. She was very intelligent and helpful and had great knowledge of working with dogs. She was very responsible and a great communicator.”

“Zoe was great! She came over for a meet and greet and rolled with the punches as I ended up getting locked out of the apartment (lol!) She was very respectful of the space and the needs of my dog! She sent pictures and updates and was comfortable getting him in and out of his crate. I will definitely be reaching out to her again to watch my dog!”

“Sara did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away. We liked that we received messages and photos each time Sara visited so we didn't worry that our cat had been forgotten. We will definitely book with Sara again.”

“Jamie is fantastic! She is an excellent sitter as well as trainer. She is currently helping us with both. She has a gift with anxious dogs and is very knowledgeable about behavior as well. She educated us and collaborated with us on a plan for my dog that is very picky about which humans he trusts. Overall, she is very helpful, kind, and in tune with the specific dog’s needs!”

“Christopher was very professional. He took great care of my Kitty. He communicated with me regularly with updates , questions and photos. He did a great job. He played with her and gave her lots of attention.”

“5 stars! Chelsea watched my guinea pigs while I was away for a week and was amazing. She sent me adorable pics of them every day and even made their enclosures extra cute and cozy. Super reliable and clearly put a lot of care into everything. I came home to relaxed, happy piggies! I couldn’t have asked for better!💕🐹”


About: I've been working with animals since I was little. I've worked with all sizes of dogs and also have taken care of cats. I've watched senior pets and pets with specific health needs. I also have a formal education in animal behavior as a nice added bonus! I'm currently working part time during the summers and I'm in college the rest of the year. I have plenty of free time to watch your cats. I can do drop in/walks during the week and if you're pet is okay alone more than 4 hours I can also pet sit during the week. I can dog sit any weekend. I only do dog sitting as my home isn't suitable for boarding. I do however reliable transportation and can watch your pet at your home. I also maintain plants and some smaller reptiles/amphibians so I can help keep your house in order while you're away.
“Jennifer did such a great job of communicating with me from start to finish, checking in with updates and questions about how to best serve my finicky, anxious kitty, Bailey. In fact, she totally won Bailey over, which is something even my family hasn't been able to do! Thanks for being so kind to Bailey, Jennifer! You made my last-minute trip so much easier.”

“Alison and Robert are fantastic sitters! They went above and beyond to keep Kitty entertained, opening blinds and playing bird videos on YouTube. It was such a pleasure reading their feedback after the visit and knowing our cat was cared for during our time away. They are very professional, would definitely re-book.”

“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”

“We feel so blessed that Rachael was able to care for our dog Ina, and 2 bunnies. She gave them phenomenal care and attention. For the meet and greet Rachael definitely cared about all the details, and was so sweet with Ina. She sent awesome pics each visit, and updated me on all the important things. Thank you Rachael!”

“Adriana took great care of Maybelline while I was gone. She sent lots of pictures, gave really detailed updates and made sure that Maybel had everything she needed.”

“Kilie was awesome! She showed up on time for every feeding, gave our kitties some love and attention and made sure they were well taken care of. We’ve never left our cats in the care of anyone other than family so we were a little nervous about how it would go, but Kilie was so good that we now feel free to travel as long as we can book her.”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds - you name it. I’ve always been an animal lover and even wanted to be a veterinarian until I found out was euthanasia is. In my adolescence, I began pet sitting and volunteering with the SPCA (where we adopted all of our pets); small and big dogs, and sometimes multiple at a time. I started to experiment with training and enjoyed teaching tricks and obedience commands. When I turned 19, I inherited my family dog, Rocco, and we became best friends. My favorite memories from those years are taking him to parks and reserves across New York State. In 2025, he got sick and I learned a lot from taking care of him through the end of his life. It was important to me that he felt like a happy, special dog during his last days because he filled my life with so much joy. The day before his euthanasia, I invited everyone who knew him to celebrate his life. He was showered in presents and treats and cuddles and surrounded by humans he loved. Animals share such unique bonds with us. Now, I am looking for opportunities to share my love of animals through Rover. I hope you consider me as your next pet sitter. I am available! My best times are evenings and weekends, with sporadic availability midday during the week. I work 8-4 Monday through Thursday at a local farm collective in Kirkville and a community garden in South Syracuse. In my free time, I enjoy making art in all kinds of media and being outside. I am looking to spend my time with animals and make their lives happy and bright! Trust and safety is my utmost priority. Through many years of being around different animals, I learned the important of an initial bond based in trust and respect. I hold myself with strength and create an energy of a safe and inviting environment. I am able to gauge an animal’s personality and demeanor, and adjust accordingly. For pets that love to play, I am always happy to bring out my goofy and fun-loving side. For more reserved companions, I enjoy taking things slow and doing calmer activities. Most of all, a pet’s joy and comfort is my number one goal!
About: I've been a pet parent since my teens, from Dixies to Bernese! Would love to bring your dog with me on my walks/runs. I have a large fenced in yard for roaming and single floor home. I am available for boarding for weekends or full week. I do work 4-10s M-Th so would be better suited for older dogs if during the week. I am home Fri -sun for more attention on weekends. I have no kids and single floor home if those are restrictions for your pet. There is room inside for a crate if needed. The large back yard is fully fenced in and great for fetch. I do walk/run regularly and would love for your pet to join me if they are up to it.
“Naomi did a great job with our three cats! She was thorough in completing all the tasks asked of her, and updated us on each of her visits so I was a little less anxious being away. I'd definitely hire her again!”


“We have had Chelsea care for our cat multiple times now, she was always very reliable and communicative. She sends multiple photos and responds quickly if I have a question. Also our cat, who is a bit of an elderly grouch, likes her and looks forward to her visits!”

I was on a 2-week vacation and Haylee did a wonderful job with my cat, Brutus. He is very old but very sweet and leaving him for 2 weeks was difficult, but I was at ease knowing Haylee was going there daily. I would recommend her to watch your beloved pets!!! Ann Zupan
