House Sitting in Salt Springs, Syracuse, NY

“We hired Cori & Jamie when our usual dog sitter was unavailable, and couldn't be happier with our decision. Our dogs are wary of new people, have special medical needs, and generally are not the easiest to deal with. We were a little worried initially with how they would do with new sitters, but those worries proved completely unfounded. Cori and Jamie had no problems handling them, giving them their medication, and even coaxing them out of their shells. We received regular updates (with pictures!) and in each one our usually ornery dogs seemed relaxed and happy. Would not hesitate to book with them again!”

“Juliette was wonderful. We needed a sitter at the veryvery last minute & reached out ~16 hours in advance. I won't leave Sorrelle w/ just anyone and Juliette's profile and reviews were all great so asked her immediately (if I didn't get a good vibe from anyone I would've cancelled my plans). .She got back to me almost immediately! And was so sweet. Absolutely incredible communication from the start through to finish. She came early to meet Sorrelle & learn about routines etc. Sorrelle had no hesitation. When I got back it was VERY clear Sorrelle took to her & vice versa. From the moment I met her it was obvious her love of pets and gentle demeanor. Cannot recommend Juliette highly enough!! Sorrelle & I'll be reaching out to her again. THANK YOU! 🩷”

“Margaret was so helpful and good with our dogs. She was communicative and responsive, she took our dogs to the park multiple times and was a gracious house guest. We are very grateful for her help and will contact her again!”

“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”

About: I volunteered at the animal shelter Wanderes Rest all throughout high school. I have experience with many different kinds of animal behaviors. I work as a vet assistant for my job. Which means I know how to handle and take care of your precious fur babies. I can teach new commands if requested. I have experience with giving oral medication to both cats and dogs. I have experience with taking care of both senior cats and dogs. I will be attentive and detail oriented to their needs and care. I have experience with responding to emergencies in a calm and efficient manner. As well as keeping you updated about your pets wellbeing with LOTS of pictures. I've had stray dogs and cats approach me. Without doing anything to get their attention. Animals seem drawn towards my energy. Which is why I believe I'm the best choice when choosing someone to take care of your fur babies with Love and Attention while you are away 💕 I currently work weekends which means I am available during the week Mon - Fri. To drop by and check in on your precious babies. The only times I'm not available are 1-2:30pm since I walk dogs during those times. I am attentive and detailed oriented. I will follow your instructions word for word. Treating your fur babies like my own fur babies with Love, Attention, and Playful energy.

“As always the dogs were well taken care of and Emalynn was a joy to have stay here. They miss her already! It is great to come home from vaca to happy fur babies. Thank you”

About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.

About: I absolutely love pets, all kinds and all sizes! I have always pet sat for family and friends growing up, and have helped raise a litter of puppies on my own. I currently have 2 cats and a dog myself, and have experience rabbit sitting as well. I love to get outside when I can and happy to read/study with a cuddly buddy by my side. Let me know how I can help! I love the beach, the mountains, parks, and staying inside with a furry friend. Hit me up if you need me! I work 8:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday so happy to stay the night and hang with any furry friends in the mornings and after work, as well as plenty of time on the weekends! I have my own car and live in Syracuse. My cats are both indoor cats for their own safety and for the safety of the local wildlife. We do not have a fenced in yard ourselves so we make sure to walk our dog, Miss Jo, as often as we can, and are actively teaching her safety commands and recall.

“Melinda house sat for my dog. All good!”

“Amoreena was great! My dog has a lot of energy and gets very excited, but she took him out hiking and had no trouble keeping him occupied. I appreciate that she sent regular updates and I came home to a happy dog. Would definitely book again!”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and love all types of animals. I currently have an adorable pet bunny of my own. I'm comfortable pet-sitting and checking in on all types of pets. If you need a regular dog walker in or around the Westcott neighborhood, please let me know! My schedule is currently quite open as I'm pursuing an art career, work from home most of the time, and determine my own hours. Except for Mon-Thu 2:30pm-6pm, I work at an after-school arts program. My schedule is currently quite open as I'm pursuing an art career, work from home most of the time, and determine my own hours. Except for Mon-Thu 2:30pm-6pm, I work at an after-school arts program. I know that every pet is different. Each individual has different preferences for activity level, types of activity, different dietary needs, and so on. I will your pet as an individual- let me know what they need and I will do my best to accommodate

“Nicholas was a great sitter! He followed our complicated instructions to a T and made sure to give the dogs lots of exercise. He shared plenty of updates as well so we were never worried about the health and happiness of our pups.”

“RJ is one of the sweetest people that I have ever met! As a dog mom who has never left her pups with anyone over night before, RJ put my mind at ease and took such great care of our two babies! I would absolutely recommend RJ to anyone & we will definitely be reaching back out in the future! Thank you RJ, you’re the best!!”
