“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.”


“Quinn watched our senior cat and was so patient and relaxed with her. She provided great photos and summaries/explanations on every rover card each day so we knew that our cat was being well cared for while we were gone. She was also very responsive on any messages we sent to her and was very understanding and flexible. We will definitely request to have her watch our cat again if she is available!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I have experience with puppies, energetic dogs, and elderly dogs. I love to spend my free time outside with my own dog, helping him get more exercise! I am eager to expand my dog experience and to bond with more animals. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have open availability to watch your dogs! I am able to be flexible to find times to walk or take your pup for a potty break! If you require a longer stay, I just need to know at least 2 weeks in advance to ensure my schedule will align. I currently have a Catahoula Leopord Dog, he requires a lot of attention and outdoor time. He has a hard time sharing his space, so I would have to board at the clients home. While visiting at the clients home, I will ensure the pup receives plenty of exercise, cuddles, and as many potty breaks it needs! I have my own transportation so it’s not a problem to commute.


About: Hi, my name is Rachel. I have been around all types of animals basically my entire life, dogs being my favorite of course. I've been around small dogs, average sized dogs and larger dogs. Because I'm a highly energetic person and love to run and play, I will be able to provide a great and fun environment to your pup. Since I've moved from home ( New York ) I am no longer around my family pets, whom I miss very much, Rover gives me an opportunity to make friends with your pup's, so for that I'm extremely greatful and excited to get started. I am eager to meet yourself and your fur child, and I'm even more excited to become their very good friend! ?

My hours are a bit flexible but I am mainly have a lot of free time on Mondays & Fridays from 2-7. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely available. First off, I always read the directions multiple times. Make sure their food and leashes are easy to find. Then I always check the backyard before letting a dog out. I want to be sure there are no gaps in the fences or any other large wildlife they may want to chase. If in case of emergency, I would love to know what veterinary practice is used and emergency contacts if I’m not able to make direct contact.

About: I’ve owned and cared for animals ranging from dogs to pigs for almost my whole life. I have a degree in zoology and currently work as a zookeeper so I know about quality animal care. I am also an aspiring pet photographer and would be more than happy to take pictures of your pets out on walks or adventures to provide you with the assurance your pet is happy, healthy, and having a good time. I currently have Wednesdays and Thursdays off and can provide anytime care to pets whose owners will typically be working those days. Whether it’s a walk to get some energy out or to drop in and make sure everyone is doing alright. I care for pets in my home and my clients home by making sure any animals always have proper access to food and/or water. As well as keeping any animals entertained through enrichment/toys. I treat every animal, home, and owner with the utmost respect and think about how I would want my home and pets treated.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 5. As a medical student, you can rest assured I am responsible and will take care of your pet like my own.

I have free time in the afternoons and on weekends to walk pets or do drop-ins. I am also available to stay overnight at clients’ houses. I will treat your furry family member like my own! However, if you are looking for 24/7 pet care, I am unable to provide around the clock care. I will follow any and all instructions provided for how to care for your pet. I can administer medications if needed. I enjoy taking walks and would love to have a dog to keep me company!

About: have extensive experience in pet care, having had many pets over the years. My journey includes rescuing, fostering, and rehoming animals, which has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of animal behavior and care needs. Throughout my experience, I've worked alongside trainers, learning valuable skills to help animals thrive. I pride myself on my patience, compassion, and unwavering love for animals, which I believe are essential qualities for providing the best care possible. My hands-on experience with a variety of pets has given me the ability to assess individual needs and provide the right support to ensure their health, happiness, and well-being. While I work full-time frok home Monday through Friday,my schedule is flexible and my love and commitment to animals are a central part of my daily routine. I make sure to devote my evenings and weekends to providing the care and attention that animals deserve. My special bond with animals allows me to connect with them on a deeper level, ensuring they receive the emotional and physical support they need. I understand how important pets are to their owners, and I treat each pet with the utmost care, creating a safe, loving environment where they can thrive. Whether it’s through walks, playtime, or simply being present, I appreciate the opportunity to spend my free time helping animals feel loved and secure. I have years of experience offering in-home pet care, which allows me to create a safe and comfortable environment for each pet in the comfort of their own home. As someone who lives downtown, I’m well-positioned to serve professionals who need reliable care for their pets while they’re away. Although I’m unable to care for animals in my own space, I pride myself on being a trusted, dependable option for those in need.

About: I have helped take care of the pets in my family since I was little! I love the distinct personalities and quirks that different animals have. Spending time with animals is good for the soul and I would love to help take care of them in my free time!

About: I’ve had pets my entire life! Being a dog owner a few times in the past has given me a lot of experience with providing the best care. It’s all about patience, being able to read their own needs, and knowing what toys and treats work best! I also have pets with special needs at home so I am skilled in administering medications orally, topically, and via subcutaneous injections. I’m clean, polite, professional, and respect boundaries of both my 2 and 4-legged clients. I have a pretty flexible schedule because I am self-employed. Generally I run my own business on weekends and every other Tuesday through the summer and fall. Weekdays and evenings are fairly wide open to spend time with furry friends. I am used to following a routine in my own home for my pets which includes timed feedings, regular medications, and cleaning of litter boxes. I also have someone in my home to take over my schedule if I were to take on a pet sitting job. In a client’s home I can easily adapt to their pet’s routine and maintain a calm presence so there is minimal stress.

Vanessa C.
“Vanessa took excellent care of my dog Daizy (who has since passed). Whenever I was away, Vanessa was a willing and reliable dog sitter/walker, and even took Daizy into her own home on occasion if it was convenient and the need arose. She clearly does this not only because of her commitment to a job well-done, but because she truly loves animals and cares for them as if they're her own. I sometimes feared Daizy liked Vanessa more than myself! Seriously though, I wouldn't trust anyone with the care of my pets more than I do Vanessa.”

Syracuse dog parents share their Rover experiences
Adriana was fantastic! This is the first time we hired someone we didn’t know to care for our pup, and we are very impressed with her! She showed up on time, followed through with all of our requests, and most importantly our dog adored her! We really appreciate the feedback she gave us, as well as the photos she provided. We definitely will be using her again! Thanks Adriana!

Hayley did an incredible job with my dog! She went above and beyond playing with her during drop-in visits and via the pictures she sent, I could tell my dog was super happy. If you want your dog to be loved while you’re away Hayley is the person for it; so grateful!

Jennah has cared for our dog, Theo, several times a week since August! She is extremely reliable and great with dogs! She put our mind at ease checking in on him during his neuter and other times that he had an upset stomach. She was always cautious with the weather and would quickly adjust with some active playtime inside if it was too hot or too cold outside. Jennah has cared for Theo since he was a puppy and it will be hard to find someone to replace her!

Julianne was very friendly and SUPER patient with our extremely anxious dog, Charlie. Scheduling went smoothly, Julianne was flexible and worked with us despite our last minute booking! Julianne was very comfortable with Charlie - who can lack manners when first meeting her (a work in progress for us) which can be difficult for many given she is a relatively larger breed. She sent cute pictures and kept us updated on how everything was going. We are grateful!

Savannah was phenomenal looking after and visiting my two dogs. Her communication and follow-through were both superb. They both were clearly well-cared for and it put me at ease knowing that their wellbeing was in Savannah's hands. I absolutely give Savannah the highest of recommendations and accolades.

Luis was a great help for us during the holiday season. His notes showed a lot of dedication and care for our dog. He took care of our dog during a recovery period after a stomach issue. Luis was careful to take care of correct time for the medicine and took our dog to long walks. Super recommended!
