“Hannah was great! Communicated with me well. The dogs seemed very happy in the photos she sent and when I got home from work. Will definitely rebook”
“Margaret did a wonderful job with our cat Ghost! It was our first time using Rover and we were nervous but she was so thorough. She came to meet us and Ghost for a meet and greet to start. She administered our cat’s oral medication and fed her twice a day. She is very kind, considerate and timely! Easy to communicate and we liked getting updates and photos twice a day. We can tell our cat really appreciated her attention and care. Will be happy to work with Margaret again!”
“Amazing with the pups. We have one who is a little finicky and she was able to get him to corporate. She took her time with him and I was so appreciative of her efforts! Send lots of photos and cares for the dogs like her own!”
“Kilie was kind enough to come look after my cat with a very last minute booking around the holidays. This is my second time having her look after Juno and once again I came home to a happy healthy cat! Best cat friend you could ask for!”
“Jamie was so good working with our anxious dog why we were away for a week. She sent lots of pictures and provided updates after each time she visited our dog”
“Karlie is amazing! I felt so comfortable and confident that I was leaving my cat Cleo in excellent and caring hands. ☺️ She cared for Cleo so well, and the updates were so fun to get while I was out of town. Thank you!!!”
“As always, Adrianna is always a great help and good friend to our pets. Her messages and photos are always comforting when we can’t be home with the critters.”
“Alison and Robert took such great care of our cat Athena while we were away! They are thoughtful and communicative, and they gave Athena care and attention with every visit. We look forward to working with them again!”
“Val is absolutely wonderful! She's trustworthy, prompt, and thoughtful. Most importantly, she took fabulous care of my shy and nervous kitty when I was out of town. Val sent me the cutest photos during each visit, and my cat loved Val right away--always a good sign! I'll definitely be asking her to catsit the next time I need help.”
“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’ve taken care of pets of all kinds for the last 15 years, and began working with dogs 4 years ago when I raised and trained my own. Since getting a dog I have cared for and pet sat for many of my family friend’s and neighbor’s dogs and cats. I know how to handle medically complex pets and how to properly administer medications. I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own and ensure that they are happy and healthy whenever they are in my care! I am in my first semester of grad school and currently have a very easy schedule, so I have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available in the mornings from 6-11 and in the afternoons most days from 4 pm onwards. I have a very friendly and well-trained dog that can help accompany your pup on walks and influence their calm with hers (she only accompanies me on walks when requested). I will ensure that your pet has a fun and safe time, getting to go out for a walk or potty/play break.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 8-9 years old, taught proper care and handling as well as respect for all. I have experience giving medicine regularly and as needed, bathing and brushing, assessing comfort levels and giving good ol’fashion belly rubs. I am familiar with strict meal plans and the importance of keeping up their established routines. I follow your furry friends lead, never forcing unwanted attention and respecting their boundaries. I currently work part-time and have plenty of time to help watch your lovable puppers and cats! I am available 6AM-1PM everyday with my afternoon/evening availability changing weekly, only requiring a few days notice to work out our game plan. I am currently available for in-home visits and walks, and am fully capable of running around with your dog when needed! I respect all house rules and keep clients updated upon arrival and when I’m departing.
About: I have been around pets my entire life. From cats and dogs, to birds and horses, I love them all. I love to be active with pets that need to expend extra energy or cuddle with those who are more of the couch potato type. I am currently between jobs so my schedule is wide open! This allows for me to check in on your pets whenever you may need. I live in an apartment, so I unfortunately cannot offer to have animals at my place, but am willing to travel to your house to take care of your furry friends in their environment.
“Best sitter you could ask for in the area! Responsive and will treat your pets like her own. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will take care of their babies with the most love and attention as possible!”
“Kaleigh took great care of my two cats while I was away! She was very friendly and thoughtful when it came to both of their needs/preferences. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Excellent all around! Good daily updates, great silly pictures, and my boys were well taken care of.”
About: Ive grown up with dogs my entire life and have learned how to care for them.I currently have a bulldog and a border collie-lab mix who I love being around and have missed very much while I have been away at college. I run Cross Country and Track so I would be happy to walk your dogs for long distances. I can feed your dog, administer pills, house sit and bring your dog for long walks. I have a pretty flexible schedule that will be able to suit pretty much any schedule. Overall I just really enjoy caring for dogs and definitely think I am well suited to taking care of anyones dog! Residing in Syracuse, NY Im pretty flexible right now. Reach out to me and we can determine what timeline works best for both of us! In class during the next few weeks and then available after that I can travel to your house, walk dogs and care for them to your specified needs. I can be very flexible, so just reach out!
“Skylar was wonderful! Very professional and communicative. Spent a ton of time with our pups and sent thorough updates and pictures. Came home to happy and healthy dogs. Would highly recommend.”
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.

12. Jadyne M.
“Jadyne is an absolutely amazing and very considerate pet sitter! I went out of town to visit family for over 2 weeks, and she was fantastic with coming in daily to check up on my cats. She stayed for a few hours at a time every day to check up on their automatic food and water feeders, as well as clean up their litterbox. I was especially appreciative of her attention to detail with the litterbox, since one of my cats is quite picky with the litterbox setup. Jadyne was able to accommodate her pickiness with no issues, which gave me enormous peace of mind on my trip! I was also grateful that Jadyne was willing to stay for a little bit during each visit to spend time with my cats and play with them so they wouldn't get too lonely. She frequently sent photos and videos so I knew they were doing okay, and communication was a breeze.”
13. Savannah M.

19. 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 felt very good leaving Myth in Jacob's care from regular feedings, walks, and playtime. 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.”
20. Alyssa P.
“I highly recommend Alyssa. She has been so amazing for Bailey during my school year work schedule and is super reliable! Thanks so much Alyssa!!”
