Riley took care of our three dogs and our cat for four nights. He did a great job! One of our dogs is quite Senior and takes some extra patience and support, and we're so grateful Riley was here for him. It's hard to leave them, but we felt very confident with Riley, and he gave us great peace of mind. He sent pictures and didn't hesitate to text me a question when he wasn't sure if something our old man was doing was normal for him. It was! But, I'm so glad he asked. Riley kept our home just as we left it, and we are especially glad to have found someone that was able to stay at our home while we were gone so our pets could have as much normalcy as possible. We highly recommend Riley if you are looking for excellent care for you pets!

Emalyn was fantastic. I felt I could trust her from the time she walked in the door and the pups took right to her. She did a fantastic job. It was the first vacation I had in years and although I missed my dogs horribly, I knew they were safe and sound. I will continue to use her as long as she wants to pupsit. Also, it just wasnt my dogs, she had the utmost respect for my house. I believe she took better care of everything than I left it for her. I am so grateful for her.

Alyssa did a wonderful job with Chicken!! -- especially given her special needs. I appreciate the communication and pictures/videos that Alyssa sent. Given that Chicken is an older cat and has some vision issues, it was nice to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you Alyssa!!!

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.

Strathmore, Syracuse, NY, 13207

About: I live in Strathmore and work downtown. My absolute favorite things in life are my two sons (who are amazing human beings!) and animals. Now that my sons are independent and out of the house, I enjoy being around and caring for animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals (e.g., dogs, cats, tarantulas, snakes, insects, and more). And I have had and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from mini dachshunds with serious Napoleon complexes to larger-than-life Rottweilers and Great Danes. If you need a trustworthy, reliable, and affordable caregiver, feel free to reach out. :) I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Happy to work around your needs. I work in downtown Syracuse, so I can help with mid-day potty breaks for pets who live in Syracuse when needed. I have a fenced-in yard and live right across from Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place for walks if your pet needs to stay with me. I'm also happy to stay at clients' homes.

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.

Desiree was amazing! She was available for us very last minute and made the whole experience easy and worry-free. Even though we were only gone for one night, she kept us updated the entire time and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dogs are older and very relaxed, and it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. She took them on a walk, stayed longer than planned, and we came home to a clean house. We will definitely be booking with Desiree again and highly recommend her!

Cammie was very quick to respond and do a meet and greet same day we reached out. She was very attentive, took very good care of the animals and communicated every time she fed and let my dog out to potty. This was my first time using Rover for my animals and I will definitely be using Cammie again.

Meagan did a great job watching our pups. Bella, our golden retriever, showed off her hunting skills by catching a squirrel. Typical golden she had to roll on her catch to make sure every part of her body was coated with her prize. After some convincing and bribery Meagan was able get the squirrel and dispose of it. And then she gave Bella a bath ... all was good. Our house looked great when we arrived home. And Meagan left us notes on each of the two dogs. It was such a nice surprise to find those kind words. We hope Meagan will be available to watch Bentley and Bella for each of our travel plans when we can't travel with our pups.
