Pet Boarding Manlius

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.

“Erix was amazing! Super friendly and professional. He took great care of my boy Glacier and sent pictures and videos to keep me updated on how things were going. I definitely recommend him if you're looking for a sitter for your fur babies! Thank you again Erix for everything! You made everything feel safe and smooth caring for my boy.”

“Maya was amazing! We were definitely on edge about the dogsitting due to our pup having bad anxiety and it being his first time staying overnight with someone else, and honestly, I dont think the outcome of the stay could've went any better. Maya definitely has a true passion for animals and it shows. He was cared for very well. Honestly, I dont think we wanted to come back home! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dogsitter that will treat your pets with the love that they deserve.”

“Thomas was amazing with our two pups. He's fully invested and cares so deeply about their well-being. We never had any reservations about their week long stay with him. His updates and pictures were so helpful. It put our minds at ease to know they were happy and well cared for while we were away.”

“Kara took excellent care of our Maisy dog. While we were out of town, she sent updates and pictures of Maisy's stay with her. Kara was also very gracious by accommodating our work schedules with flexible drop off and pick up times. We would not hesitate to have Maisy stay with her again in the future.”

“Christalle was very kind and attentive to the boys and their needs, as well as the needs of their Mama, knowing I’d be missing them while away on my trip. She kept me up-to-date on how they were eating, adjusting, and even when Woogie had an upset stomach so I was aware but also so I wouldn’t worry as much. She was very accommodating and responsive, leaving me with little to worry about. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone. If she can manage my five boys, I don’t think anyone has anything to worry about.”

“A great experience, My puppy had such a fantastic time. She was very communicative with pictures and videos, and understanding when my travel time back got delayed. I would definitely be booking again in the future when I need boarding services.”

“Mat and Christie took great care of my dog. He was happy and got along great with their pets. He was taken for walks and I was updated on his stay with pictures.”

“Chelsea was wonderful with my dog Chica! Chica is quite quiet and reserved with a lot of anxiety and Chelsea was gracious enough to have a meet-and-greet with her before taking her for an overnight. She made her feel comfortable and welcomed. Chica will definitely see Chelsea again soon!”

“Lindsey did an amazing job caring for our dogs, Cookie and Rocco, while we were out of town for two nights. She kept in touch throughout their stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were busy purchasing a home in New York. It was clear that Cookie and Rocco were well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Lindsey was reliable, communicative, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. We could not have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Lindsey with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! As dog parents, leaving our babies behind is never easy, but Lindsey made the whole experience stress-free.”

“The girls had a great time. Ashley sent pictures daily. She let me see the yard and areas where the girls would be to make me feel better as my little one is an escape artist. Ashley was great at communicating. I will definitely use her again.”

Cheri M.

“Ellen and John stepped up and helped me out with my boy Havi when I needed boarding at the last minute. They were quick to respond and very accommodating even at the last minute! They stayed in communication with me throughout and took such great care of Havi as he sometimes needs extra attention. I am beyond grateful for Ellen and John and the service and care they provided! Highly recommend and will be using them again in the future!”

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me and remains one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I currently have my own dog, who I adopted as a puppy while I was in college and is now 4 years old. Raising her has given me experience with training, building routines, and understanding different stages of a dog’s development. I’m comfortable administering medication, brushing and bathing, handling anxious behaviors, and keeping pets on their regular care schedules. I also have experience walking dogs that pull and can confidently handle strong or high-energy pups while keeping walks safe and structured. Whether your pet needs active playtime, consistent routines, or gentle care and attention, I’m patient and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own. As a current medical student, I understand the importance of flexibility and prioritizing a pet's needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and dependable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I am excited to learn about your pet's unique personality and am more than happy to accommodate any specific requests. As a medical student, my schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care into my daily and weekly routine. While there are periods of time when I am less available, I’m committed to clear communication about my availability and will always work to accommodate your pet’s needs as best as possible. Time management is extremely important to my academic program, and I bring that same organization, dependability, and attention to detail to pet care. I take pride in my work and practice compassionate, attentive care in everything I do. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and value the trust you place in me to care for them. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I currently live in an apartment located directly across the street from a dog park with both large and small dog areas, which allows for convenient, safe, and appropriate exercise based on your dog’s size and temperament. The neighborhood is safe and very pet-friendly. I’m attentive to maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care needs. I make sure pets receive both physical activity and plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency and respect for your space. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and maintain your pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I’m also willing to travel or make special trips if your dog attends daycare, has a preferred park, or enjoys a specific walking route. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and cared for as possible, wherever they are.

“Great experience! Was able to accommodate a last minute booking, had very fast communication, and sent lots of daily update pics of my dog! Would definitely recommend and book again!”

“Andrew and his wife took excellent care of our dog over the weekend. It was his first time staying with them, so they sent me several updates and photos to let me know how he was doing. When we picked him up, they sent me home with a handwritten note, dog treats, and a new chew toy. A very thoughtful finishing touch!”
