About: I'm an experienced pet Mom, who currently has three fur babies of her own, and would love to be able to take care of your babies when you're not available to! I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I have had at least one dog of my own continuously since 1995, and I have extensive experience with many different sizes and breeds of dogs, as well as cats, small animals and reptiles. I also have extensive experience caring for ill and injured animals, as my Great Dane had many health issues, and I also cared for her post-op after two surgeries and a resulting infection. I currently work full-time in Syracuse and I will be keeping that job, but I am available week nights from 5:00 p.m. on (after 9:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays), and any time Saturday or Sunday. I am looking to provide pet care in your own home. I am dependable and have my own reliable transportation. Willing to travel within a 15 mile radius.

“We were extremely nervous about leaving our dog for the first time, having never used a dog sitter before. From the moment we met Briana, those nerves started to melt away. She was kind, attentive, and instantly connected with our pups in a way that gave us real peace of mind. Throughout our time away, Briana kept us updated with photos and little notes about how things were going. It was clear she wasn’t just checking in—she was truly spending quality time with our dogs, keeping their routine consistent and giving them so much love and attention. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Briana. She exceeded our expectations in every way and made what could have been a stressful experience completely stress-free. We wouldn’t hesitate to call her again and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”

Monique J.
“Monique is WONDERFUL! I actually met her at her job, Petland. I was shopping for a new collar and some toys for my boxer mix and I was going on about how I was trying to find someone to watch him for the weekend while I went away on business, and she mentioned that she actually did dog sitting and would love to do it. The next day I met with her and my little Billy got to see her house and meet her dogs, everyone immediately hit it off amd it was set! She sent me LOADS of pictures and videos of Billy having fun with her and her dogs, even ahowing me that she took him to the pool. It really helped reassure me, especially since this is the first time spending the weekend away from him. She really is the greatest and her love for dogs is evident.”

Aaron F.
“Aaron is one of the most kind, gentle souls I’ve ever met. I’ve known him for over 22 years, and I can confidently say there are few in this world I trust more than him. Every animal I’ve ever seen him with, including my own dog, is both safe and loved in his presence. I never let anyone other than my mother watch my dog, but if I needed to, I’d hand her to him without a second thought. He’s trustworthy and dependable in ways most could never achieve. I couldn’t possibly recommend him more to care for anyone’s pets. He is a diamond in the rough, and your pets will always be in great hands.”
