“We recently moved and were nervous about leaving our cat and bearded dragon but Jamie did a great job of keeping us updated and sending pics. Traveling can be stressful as is and she gave us peace of mind that our babies were well taken care of. Will definitely book with her again :)”

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 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, Tuesday, Thursday, 830-4) with full availability on Wednesday (wfh), Friday (wfh), Saturday and Sunday. 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!
“Adriana took fabulous care of my senior cat! She's flexible, professional, and a great commicator -- and my girl loved her. Would definitely book her services again!”

“Alison and Robert are incredible! They take such great care of my cat. I can tell they genuinely enjoy spending time with my cat and take the time to play with him! I feel so at ease knowing they are taking care of my cat while I’m away!”

“This was my first time getting a cat sitter and Adam did his thing. Definitely a 10/10 my cats went from saying who this man to heeeey friend and that itself says a lot! Thank you ssooooooo much!”


“Absolutely awesome. Last minute request due to an emergency, he stepped up and bailed us out. Great with the dogs! Thank you so much for the last minute communication and assistance.”
“Hannah was excellent! From the first meet and greet through the two drop-ins. I appreciated her prompt communication and follow-up. We will be looking to book her in the future!”

“This was the first time we used Rover for our 3 Samoyeds who mean the world to us. Lory was absolutely amazing! Did a meet and greet first so we would be comfortable with her. She is kind and compassionate and so good with dogs, especially our senior boy. The dogs loved her which means a lot. She was right on time for all the check ins and sent adorable pictures with a note on how everything went. I highly recommend Lory and will definitely plan on using her again!”

“Kristi is amazing! She goes above and beyond and truly engages with your pet. Our two kitties had so much fun while we were away. We'd have her watch them again in a heartbeat 💓 Thanks so much Kristi! Sincerely, Culleen”


About: I have been a dog lover since birth. I am a certified personal trainer and tennis coach during the day. Dog walker/father 24/7. I currently work as a personal trainer and private tennis coach during the day. My schedule is managed by booking jobs on first come first serve basis. I have a small 12 pounds poodle mix named Sully. Born and raised in NYC, he is now 13 years old and loving the freedom of Syracuse. His treats are always organic and his water is always bottled. He loves a good probiotic which has kept his digestive system excellent. Safety is my biggest priority. I always watch the ground to make sure he doesn’t step on anything dangerous and I always watch my surroundings. After each walk I clean his paws with a water wipe.

“Meaghan was an amazing dog sitter for my high maintenance, sweet, loving beagle! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond in taking care of my pup! She sent me updates and photos which made me reassured all was good while I was away! I will definitely be booking her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”


About: Fur babies are apart of the family, let me know how I can help!! I will love them like my own and have a lifetime of experience to rely on I can structure my work week around your needs with enough notice to ensure timely care. Reach out and I will do my best to make it happen! If your pet needs it- I will do it. Over night stays, check ins, walks, playing, grooming and feeding. They deserve the very best always
“Fourth time using Kristen and she’s just as great as the first time I used her. She’s so good with the boys and even offered to do another feeding session given the bad weather. She’s definitely my go-to!”


“Amanda came in only a few days notice to help us out with our puppy. She took good care of her, followed instructions nicely, wrote a nice note and made us feel like our puppy was well cared for. Thank you and will definitely use again!!”

“Amanda was awesome & took good care of my bunny Scottie! She was very thoughtful in updating me and I could tell my Scottie had come to trust her over the week of her drop in visits.”

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.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by 5 English Mastiffs, a pitbull, and 5 cats, so I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and personalities. Most recently, I had the privilege of caring for my dog Rex during his final months, which gave me experience with health issues, medications, and supporting pets with disabilities. Over the years, I’ve also watched many different dogs, and nothing makes me happier than when they come back for another stay! It feels like welcoming back old friends. Being around animals truly brings out the best in me, and I treat every pet as if they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and gentle, or needs a little extra care, I’ll provide the love and attention they deserve. Feel free to contact me with any questions at any time! I’m available every day for walks and house sitting! I’m currently in PA school and have just one in person class from 8:30-11 Monday-Thursday. If I have to leave them for any amount of time I will be fully transparent and I will make sure it’s within the time frame you prefer! If needed I can take a pet for a day. I’m currently in graduate school at Upstate Medical and just have a class from 8:30-11. But your pet will always be treated like a family member! They will be safe, loved, and well fed. I love playing outside with dogs because it’s the best part of their day!
About: This past March, I brought home my own 10 week old puppy! I have cared for her and trained her in these past few months and she’s been great. Puppies are a handful but I would love to work with more! I’ve also walked/cared for multiple adults dogs of my neighbors and friends I currently work full time during the week so I’m looking to be available on weekends only. I have my own puppy to care for as well so I want to focus on her during the week and then feel I can find more openings to help others on the weekends At our home, it is not fenced in so the dog will be leashed the whole time. There is a public park directly in from of our house for the pup to sniff and walk/run around! It is also not fenced in so would keep them leashed at all times. Barry park is also nearby our house. For client houses, I would follow your lead on what harness/collar you deem best for your dog and the preferred type of leash. Would of course ensure they are on leash during the whole walk/outside time.

Julie does a great job with our two dogs! One is reactive and therefore has a lot of nuance. Julie has been very patient with him, she even came over for an extra meet and greet before her first stay so he would feel more comfortable. During that stay, mushrooms were growing in our yard that our dogs kept trying to eat. Julie was on top of it, picking up mushrooms left and right to keep the pups from getting upset stomaches. Julie is on time and communicates well. She went above and beyond keeping our home clean while we were away. We highly recommend Julie!

Jamie was excellent. I was worried about leaving Edgar bc we are very attached. Jamie sent me pictures everyday. She also found him when he was being shy so we knew he was ok. And she monitored his food and water so I knew he was eating and drinking. I felt so much better on my trip and I am so grateful! I will definitely ask her to come again.

Mary visited my cat Butch while I was away for three nights and four days, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. When I came home, everything was clean and well cared for. She is a very sweet person, and you can tell she has a gentle touch with cats. It gave me such peace of mind knowing that Butch was in good hands. I would definitely hire her again.

Again, Josiah has proved to be exemplary!! My plans changed twice due to a train scheduling issue and a major storm. He accommodated both changes with his usual calm manner. He is a complete professional. And my cat loves him - Hey (my cat) who doesn't ever come out to meet anyone, came out once in two weeks! That's LOVE in my cat's book. I have complete trust in him and I will always choose Josiah.
Adriana was great, and my cats were very well taken care of! One of my cats needs an inhaler, and Adriana was able to administer it and even had prior experience with cat inhalers—she also gave me thorough updates each visit, and sent me some adorable photos of the fast-moving little gremlins. I would definitely recommend her.

Mollie has been an amazing sitter for our cat, Chester, and he adores her! We appreciate all the quality time she spends with him during our time away. She is very thoughtful, caring and very trustworthy. We love the pictures and thorough updates that she provides after each drop-in... and Chester certainly enjoys all the attention, treats and brushings!

Sarah did such a good job of taking care of my cat that when I got home he acted like he didn’t even notice I was gone ! She was extremely helpful not only in taking care of my baby but also with household things like taking out the trash and bringing in packages! I would definitely recommend her to any cat parents!

Shaz was absolutely amazing! I love how she had no problem feeding my ferals for me as well as my 4 kitties who are usually shy around strangers. The photos she sent made me feel at ease seeing my Miney-Moo enjoying some scratches and rubbing her face against whatever corner she could find. I loved seeing my Nala girl having fun and playing in the pics. My kitties looked so relaxed and content. Dante looked so cute chilling by her feet. I felt bad when I forgot to mention that Dante wheezes when he's mad. Shaz was super concerned which I appreciated her checking in and alerting me :)

Lilly did a wonderful job caring for our pet Binkley, an elderly free-roam house rabbit! He is usually shy around strangers, but her quiet, gentle, and patient approach had him at ease with her in just a couple of days. She prepared his special food carefully and he actually gained a little weight during our ten day absence. We highly recommend her!

Had a really smooth experience with Sierra while she checked in on my cat over the weekend! She was very patient while I worked through the new app, and super communicative and accommodating. My cat is super shy, but she managed to get her to hang out for a bit :) very prompt with updates too and was always punctual! Would love to have her visit my cat again when we are away!

Cori and Jamie took good care of my kitty while I was away and I was able to have peace of mind while I was away from home, knowing that I could count on them. They were very attentive to her needs and spent time with her so she didn’t feel alone. They were great at communicating with me at all times. They even watered my outside potted plants so I didn’t come home to dead flowers. Will definitely book again!
