Top rated Outer Comstock house sitters
“Kendra is great! She was able to house/dog sit at the last minute and was flexible with the time we needed her. Our pups loved her and got lots of TLC. She sent pics and videos so we could enjoy our big family wedding event with peace of mind.”
“Hannah is fantastic!!! She was communicative, caring, and on top of it while taking care of my 2 dogs. Two things worth noting: 1. one day she came home and discovered one of the dogs had eaten a Reese’s peanut butter cup. And she immediately called me to see how I wanted to deal with the situation 2. She came and went as if no one had stayed in the house. Everything is just as I left it, and the dishwasher was running. Dogs love her, and she sent me so many photos! Will DEFINITELY be hiring her again.”
“Kristi was amazing with our crew !! She knew we had just taken in our Gracie as a rescue pug and gave her all the extra love and snuggles that she needed to feel safe and loved ....she spent lots of extra time in our home to ensure they didn't feel our absence even working remotely at our place which was great for our pugs/cats. She kept us informed of daily events and sent lots of snuggle snaps which made us feel better. Kristi even left us homemade biscotti for our return home. I can say with full confidence that Kristi is motivated by love of animals and helping others...we will most certainly hire her back to our home for all our Rover needs :)”
“August is absolutely the best, caring and responsible pet sitter. We felt so comfortable and at peace knowing our fur babies were being taken such good care of. We will definitely be reaching out again for future sitter needs.”
“I’ve been reluctant to travel because one of my dogs is quite shy. Zyla warmed up to Amoreena as soon as she came in for the meet and greet! Amoreena gave me several photo updates. She truly went above and beyond what I expected. Both dogs are happy, my house looks great and I will no longer be hesitant to travel. I will absolutely have Amoreena back!”
“Cammie was fantastic! Responsible and communicative, I had no worries entrusting my senior dog to her care. He took to her immediately and I felt completely confident he was in good hands while I was away.”
“Rachel was a gift, I wish I found her sooner. From the meet & greet to the house sitting she was super easy to communicate with. Our dog loved her and followed her all over the house (sorry Rachel!). I would absolutely contact her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some help.”
“Nick was great in watching my dog, Remy, for over a week. He stayed at my apt, left everything clean, and made significant efforts to make Remy feel comfortable when I was away. Initially, I was nervous to leave my dog with a stranger but Nick's communication throughout his stay made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend his services to other dog owners.”
“Darian was amazing, all we could hope for and more in a pet/house sitter! She was a somewhat last minute find but she was great to work with and we are so glad we found her! We would totally book her again as it’s clear she took great care of our boys and was a great communicator! Always appreciate that.”
About: I have two cats myself, and have been the de facto dog sitter of my family for years. I've been watching dogs of all sizes for years, and am confident in my ability to keep up with whatever activity level they need. I'm currently in between jobs, and my work is generally remote anyway, so my schedule is always pretty flexible. Happy to work with your (and your pet's) schedule! I'll treat your home like my own and your pets like my own family. As someone who misses my pets the second they leave my sight, I'm big on sending photo and video updates whenever I can.
About: Over the years, I've taken care of many animals. From our family dog (Yellow Lab) to our 3 cats, I've lived with animals my entire life. I have 8 years of experience caring for dogs, and I've cared for cats my entire life (21 years). All ages. Puppies, teens, elderly dogs... Kittens, cats, and old felines. At the moment, I'm living in a house away from my family pets. I also have experience administering medicines via treats and lotions. I'm available most of the time excluding around 12pm-6pm weekdays. I can do all holidays besides Christmas and Thanksgiving. I can do walks any length between 10 minutes and 2 hours. If need be, I can stay at the home overnight UP TO 2 NIGHTS IN A ROW. But other than that, I can come by to check up anytime during the day or night. I am comfortable with larger dogs as long as they are trained well enough not to jump on me or potentially injure me. For both cats and dogs, I am comfortable with them being outdoors as long as the area is either fenced in, it is not near a busy street, or they are trained enough to not wander far. I have experience administering medicines via treats and lotions.
“Cassandra was great! Our dogs loved her and will ask to have her dog sit again in the future. Constant contact with her and she sent pics of our pups smiling :)”
“Audrey was very flexible and sent updates of how Keiko was doing while she stayed with her. Very kind and understanding!”
About: I have over 10 plus years caring for animals. I have experience with small or medium dogs and especially cats. Administering medications, walking, feeding, playtime and everything in between! Experience pet sitting for friends and family and experience caring for a movement impaired dog and diabetic cat. Im currently a Mechanic/Welder as a full time job Monday through Friday for a local company in Jamesville. Available anytime on weekends and limited availability on weekdays after 3:30 PM. I treat everyone’s pets and home as I would my own. Drug free, non smoker and very respectful. The safety of your property and pets is my top priority. Developing trusting relationships with clients and delivering the service you expect is my goal.
“Susan was wonderful once again! We appreciate her and how well she cares for our two boys. Nothing more to say than what's already been said! Refer to my other reviews.”
“Ralph was wonderful and took great care of our new laser dog, Zoey. He shared updates everyday while we were on vacation as well as assisted with watering our plants throughout the house! Ralph shared daily photos and updates about his time watching Zoey! We highly recommend Ralph and will plan to work with in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for more than 20 years. I grew up with dogs in my family, I eventually moved out and decided to get a dog of my own. I’ve dog sat and dog walked for friends and family for years. I’ve been around dogs of all ages, and would be willing to treat yours as my own! My work schedule is a bit different. I work for the Syracuse Fire Department and we work 24hr shifts. On my 2 work days a week, I use family members or Rover for pet care. But I have 5 days off a week! So on those days off, I have plenty of time to care for the pups! My schedule does rotate weekly so I will just need to make sure I’m off the day pet care services are needed. I live in an apartment so I’m used to walking since I have to walk my own dog everyday. I usually walk her to the park around the corner or drive to trails/parks for walks and playtime. I would be willing to open my home to your dog and provide just as good care for them, as I do my own. I would be able to go to your house and take care of your dog just as well.
“Awesome job. Kept me well informed and gave my elder dog a lot of TLC”
“Alyssa was absolutely amazing! She stayed with my very energetic dog for 3 nights. She sent updates and pictures throughout and kept my mind at ease. My house looked better than when I left it. Highly recommend and will be reaching out to Alyssa again in the future.”
About: I’ve always loved dogs since I was a kid, having my sister bring in a new dog or cat and out of everyone of my siblings (10) I’d be the one to love and take care of them. Now, I take care of my families pets whenever they need and I’m always happy to do so. I’m currently working a full-time job. But available anytime after 5pm M-F to be with your lovely pets, and I’m always available on the weekends. I live alone and keep my place tidy. I live in an apartment but they are pet friendly and I enjoy the outdoors which means more playtime outside for the dogs.

11. Jacob M.
“Jacob was a pit sitter for our dog Myth many times. Myth is a friendly chocolate lab, who was about 3 years old when Jacob looked after him. Myth got all the attention he needed!

We also appreciated Jacob's attention to other details (like taking out our garbage on garbage day!), and was very easy to communicate with. We recommend him highly.”
