“Wonderful!! Katelyn and her family were so kind and helped me get a nervous pup into her home. She took care of her so well sending pics that were so comforting. She even slept near her a while to help calm her. I’m so grateful for such great care!”
“Lyndsey did a fantastic job taking care of my dog. She had lots of play time and snuggles. She did a great job sending occasional updates. I will be reaching out to Lyndsey again when I need a dog sitter, and I would recommend her to everyone!”
“Jennifer and Larry (and Brooks and Linc) were absolutely amazing! Monte had a wonderful stay, got to play with some new friends and had lots of belly rubs! If you don't want to have to worry at all about your dog while on vacation, I would highly recommend these guys!❤️”
“10/10 Alejandra is a trustworthy and kind person. She handled my dog exceptionally well. It was his first time being at a dog sitter, and I highly recommend Alejandra. She and her husband take great care of everything. They spend ample time on playtime, walks, and other activities. My dog was thoroughly happy. I have a challenging dog, but Alejandra handled him exceptionally well and is truly amazing. She is also flexible with timings, dog essentials, and other matters. She is the kindest person I have ever met.”
“Aricela was an awesome host. Both our cat and dog stayed with her for more than two weeks and returned home in great condition. Aricela sent daily pictures of each animal, and both appeared to be happy and enjoying themselves. Our family is greatly appreciative of the care Aricela provided to our animals while we were out of town.”
“I was so nervous about leaving my 12 week old Alaskan Malamute puppy for the first time, but Josie put us both right at ease! It is clear that she is experienced with all types of dogs and really cares about their well being. Indy felt right at home, and I felt like I was leaving her with family who truly cared about her as much as I do. She got tons of attention and play time with Josie’s two kids and I got tons of pictures and updates to let me know she was doing well. Indy will definitely be going back to stay with Josie next time I need a sitter!”
“Faith was fantastic! She took great care of our dog and communicated well. She has all these homemade treats and you can tell that she cares a lot for not just for the health of her animals but others she watches.she took Harlee on walks, played with her let her snuggle Our dog sure loved being there and we will for sure use her again!”
“Georgie enjoyed his stay with Morgan. He came home as though he had never been away. I attribute that to Morgan’s calm personality making him feel so comfortable in her home.”
“Henry had a great time staying with Lindsay and her family, and was easy to work with & responsive. Her dog Ellie was a good playmate and Lindsay sent updates/photos. Henry seemed happy and I definitely recommend her for dog sitting.”
“Lynn was great with our little guy. She sent a lot of pictures and videos, was very responsive and took great care of him following all of our requests! Would definitely book her again.”
“Chris has done doggy day care with Walter before, but this was the first time I had to leave my pup for so long! Walter came back happy and healthy, and Chris was super great about updating me on his progress and sending the cutest photos!! Thank you Chris!!”
“Betty sent us texts and photos to keep us updated about our pup. Patches stayed with her for two days and two nights while we were in South Bend for game weekend. The host pups were very sweet and good companions for our dog. We would use this dog vacay again.”
“Jamie was an awesome sitter and very accommodating during a last minute plan for our trip. She was a quick communicator and provided great pictures of Matt while we were away!”

- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Syracuse.
