“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 :)”
7. Stanley K.
“Stanley is my cat’s favorite person in the world, and she is depressed as soon as he walks out the door. A bit insulting personally, but whatever. He is really clean, courteous and communicative throughout his stays. You could not ask for a better human being to look after your pet.”
8. Amoreena W.
“Amoreena is so great with my dog. She’s a super high energy hunting breed so she’s not always the easiest to watch but she does such a good job meeting her needs and keeping her happy. She sends lots of photos and updates which puts my mind at ease while we’re away.”
9. Gia G.
“Gia cared for my husky and did an incredible job. He was so happy when I picked him up. She goes above and beyond in dogsitting.”
10. Kristi V.
“Kristi is a natural with dogs. I myself was sitting two beagles and my own Jack Russell. My terrier is very slow to make friends but Kristi knew just the right things to say and they were firm friends in minutes, a behavior that usually takes a long time for him to demonstrate. So I would wholeheartedly recommend her as someone who can care for dogs with kindness and empathy.”
11. Kenny I.
“My wife and I went away for a few days and entrusted Kenny to watch our dog, Otto. He provided updates throughout and we felt the dog was in safe hands the entire time. We will be choosing Kenny the next time we go away! Recommend very highly!”
12. Allyanna O.
“Allyanna was truly amazing! She not only took amazing care of my 3 kitties but also my home. She left my house in beautiful condition and I would gladly trust her again with my cats again!! I am extremely lucky to have had her in my home while I was away!!”
13. Kristin L.
“Kristin was great!! She kept me up to date with everything going on while we were gone and sent a ton of pictures which me and the kids were very happy about. Her dog Leo and our dog looked like they got along really well and he actually looked like he was smiling in some of the pictures. Thank you for taking such great care of Crosby.”
14. Ralph C.
“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!”
15. Lizzie H.
“Lizzie is an AMAZING person and pet sitter. I asked her to watch my dog and cat and she did a great job! My dog and cat can definitely be a hand full but they were never too much for Lizzie. She sent me pictures and videos and kept me regularly updated. I’m always really worried leaving my babies, but with Lizzie watching them, I was able to have peace of mind while away. Definitely choose Lizzie to care for your fur babies!!”
16. Alyssa B.
“Our dog and cat were in great hands with Alyssa!”
17. Mackenzie M.
“Mackenzie is great with pets! She is our friend group's go to pet sitter when they go out of town. She's got great experience with cats and dogs of all ages. She found and rescued one of her current cats, Moose, when he was abandoned by his mother at 4 weeks old. She bottle fed him, kept him warm, and slowly nursed him back to health. Same thing with Oliver, a stray doodle she found. His hair was completely matted and he was underweight. She carefully removed the matting, bathed him, and he is now an integral member of the family. Needless to say, she is great with all pets, including those with more needs, such as bottle feeding or intensive grooming/bathing. She is also great with training. She has house-trained Oliver and is currently working to get him certified as a CGC and eventually a therapy dog so they can volunteer with various hospitals and schools in the area. Mackenzie will take excellent care of your pets and will send you ample pictures while doing so!”
18. Alyssa P.
“I could tell Alyssa was the right sitter within the first 5 minutes of meeting her. She put my mind at ease while scheduling traveling plans for our 5 day trip. While she was at my house I could tell that my dog was in great hands :) She had great updates and took great care of my house as well. Look forward to using her in the future! Thank you Alyssa!”
19. Nicholas M.
“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.”
20. Laila S.
About: I have been a huge animal lover my entire life. I took veterinary science in high school so that has allowed me to have certifications when it comes to pet care. I have dogs of my own back at home and they mean the world to me and more, so taking care of your pets with the utmost care is extremely important to me. I will be staying in Syracuse for the summer, so I will be extremely flexible in regards to time. I have a part time job at a coffee shop but it’s all very flexible. I take care of my pets with the utmost care. They mean the world to me and my love for animals has allowed me to care deeply and carefully. Typically I do walks and play with my own pets a lot, but every pet is different!
