“Susan looked after my dog Gainsley for a week while I was on vacation. I can not say enough good things about how well Susan took care of Gainsley while I was away. My dog is a rescue dog and very hesitant to attach herself with adults that she does not know. Susan understood Gainsley s needs completely. Susan regularly sent me pictures to constantly reassure me that Gainsley was happy. I can not thank her enough.”


“Daylin and Mary took excellent daycare of our dog Bocce this past Saturday. During the day, they sent pictures and videos of Bocce playing in the yard with their dog. This was the first time he was at daycare, and obviously he had a great time during his stay. I highly recommend Daylin and will definitely be contacting her the next time. I am in the Syracuse area. Very nice people!”


“Ashley was great! She was on-time and flexible with our schedule. She was available on short notice, which was very helpful! She sent us a video of our pup relaxing and watching a movie on her lap while we were out and about, which made us feel good about his doggie day care experience.”


“I can't say enough good things about Stacey. She is truly outstanding in every way when it comes to taking care of Scotch. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my Scotch is in such capable and caring hands. Whether I’m away at work or out for the day, I never have to worry—my dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.”


“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog, Shelby, received! From the start, it was clear she was in loving and capable hands. She came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. When our pickup ended up being later than planned, Kristen was incredibly gracious and understanding—no stress, just kindness. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care and flexibility, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!”


“Maypud absolutely loved my pets. I dropped them three consecutive days while attending a reunion. She was very considerate of my anxious dachshund. My retriever did not want to leave her house. I highly recommend her to care for your precious ones.”


“Luna was right at home with Eden and Gal! Luna was walked, cuddled and so well cared for! Thank you for your love of dogs and watching my baby girl! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Ginnie was fabulous! We were in the area for a wedding and she watched our pup for the day so we could enjoy the festivities. She was very helpful and responsive in preparation for the day. Our pup had an awesome time playing with her dogs in her lovely yard, and she sent us updates throughout the day. We would definitely leave our fur baby in Ginnie’s care again!”


“My little dog, Honeybun, has separation anxiety. Leidy was so patient and kind that it put Honeybun right at ease. I definitely recommend Leidy and will be using her for doggy daycare in the future.”


About: Hi! We are Jared, Emily, Winnie & Aidan. We recently used rover for our pup Ruthie when we went on vacation and decided to sign up to watch dogs since we love them so much! Our pup Ruthie loves meeting new friends and playing! Our big yard will provide hours of fun! We love to snuggle our pup so yours will be allowed on the couch to snuggle with us as well! We have a 10 year old daughter and 1 year old son who love dogs but we do need to make sure the doggies we watch love kids as much as they love them! We have a great neighborhood for walking and we love taking walks to tire everyone out! Jared works a hybrid schedule and is home on Thursdays. Emily’s job allows flexibility to be home when needed and she is home on Fridays. We are both home on the weekend! We are always ready when your pup needs us! We have a large yard that our pup and your pup will have so much fun playing in! When they are outside we are always out watching them. We have a bunch of toys for them to play with and Ruthie is great at sharing! We allow the pups on the couch to get comfortable and also snuggle with us! Our dog sleeps in our room and yours is welcome to as well! Your dog can also sleep in a room we have dedicated for our dog on a very comfortable tempur pedic bed! We also have plenty of room to set up a crate if that's what your dog is used to! We have a camera to check in on them if we have to run out at any time! We want our clients to feel comfortable and at ease leaving their 4 legged family members with us. We love our dog and will love yours while they are in our care!

About: With 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a lifetime of love, dedication, and expertise to every pet I watch. From playful puppies to senior pets with special needs, I’ve cared for them all. I commit to ensuring they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away! As I work on launching my own business, I’m thrilled to have the flexibility to care for yourpets. This means I can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Building my business allows me the freedom to focus on providing your furry family member with the personalized attention and care they deserve, whenever you need it most. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure and maintain their routine. I prioritize consistency, exercise, and plenty of affection, making sure your pet feels like they’re at home, even when you’re not. For high-energy or nervous pets, I give them the extra patience and love they need to thrive.

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.
