“Donna and I had a wonderful meet and greet. Mazie seemed relaxed and happy from the start. Donna's communication was impeccable throughout Mazie's stay. Numerous pictures and videos assured me that she was in a good home. Thank you very much!”
“We got lots of videos and our pup was well taken care of. They were very tuned in to Loosey's needs and I appreciated the attention to detail. Next time we're in town and Loosey needs a place to stay, we will absolutely hire them again.”
“My dog loves staying with Irina & her family! Irina is so nice, and I can tell my dog is treated great while I'm out of town. He gets exercise and attention, and she'll send pictures too! Thanks again!”
“Lisa was amazing from the moment I met her until the day I picked up my dog. She kept me informed about my dog throughout the day and sent me photos. She is very nice and I know my dog was in good hands the entire time we were gone. I highly recommend her!”
“Maya was wonderful! Sent me videos and photo updates multiple times a day and took such good care of Saco. And was flexible when I asked for one more night of coverage at the last minute! Will definitely be working with her again if she’ll have me :)”
“Joan and Duncan are a great team. We brought our dog with us on a trip to see our son at university. Joan and Duncan were willing to take him in a cone. They made him comfortable and he was happy to go to them a second day. Highly recommend.”
About: I have a love for dog that goes back as far as I can remember. My dogs are my children. I will treat your pups as if they are my own. I work overnights so the day is usually open. I will be here if your pup needs anything. I also have cameras in the home to monitor when I’m not home. I have a friendly dog. She is free roam and she loves to play. I have a park nearby and have a fenced in yard. Frequent walks and play time expected.
“We had a wonderful experience with Ashley & Matt. They took great care of our puppy. Daily communication and photos helped to put our minds at ease and know she was being well taken care of and happy. We would absolutely recommend them and we will be using them again ourselves!”
“Chelsea is a great petsitter. It has all the qualities we seek when we leave our pets with someone. I want to thank Chelsea and her family very much for taking such good care of my little one! Thank you!”
“Staci took good care of my Bella while I was away for two weeks. She always responded promptly to my messages, and sent photos every few days to update me with Bella’s activities. Thanks Staci!”
“Andrew and his wife took excellent care of our dog over the weekend. It was his first time staying with them, so they sent me several updates and photos to let me know how he was doing. When we picked him up, they sent me home with a handwritten note, dog treats, and a new chew toy. A very thoughtful finishing touch!”
About: My wife and I are the proud parents of two small dogs, Jerry and Lolita, and we know exactly what it takes to make a dog feel safe and loved. Over the years, we’ve been incredibly grateful for the wonderful, trustworthy sitters on Rover who have cared for our own dogs while we were away. That amazing experience inspired us to open our home and offer that same high level of dedicated care, comfort, and peace of mind to other pet parents. Because I work from home full-time, your dog will enjoy constant companionship—our own dogs are rarely left for more than a few hours a day, so someone is almost always around for belly rubs and potty breaks. We have a fully fenced yard perfect for safe playtime, and we live right next door to a beautiful park for scenic walks. Your dog will get a true home-away-from-home experience, plenty of attention, and two built-in small dog besties!

“After our dog boarding situation fell through for the week of Christmas, I stumbled upon Matthew and Christie (and their kids) on Rover. Not only were they able to accommodate our last minute reservation, but they were incredibly flexible when a million things went wrong on the tail end of our trip causing delay after delay. All that was awesome, but mostly it was their care and love for our dog (who’s truly the baby of our family and we are all just head over heels for) that was apparent and left us feeling completely at ease. We will absolutely be hitting them up again! We are so grateful to have stumbled upon such a caring loving family to care for our pup when we go out of town.”
About: I have had pets my whole life! Dogs, reptiles, you name it. I work from home so expect your dog to get unlimited snuggles. I do have a kid under 2 as well as a dachshund so only accepting clients who’d get along with dogs and kids. (: I work from home so I have pretty open availability! Your pup will never be left alone and get plenty of snuggles! Looking forward to meeting your pup. If okay with the pet and owner- I have a dog park around the corner from my house that I love to take my dog to. If we don’t go to the park he gets lot of fetch time and mental stimulation at home.
“Tia and her family were great! Our dog Pepper has a lot of anxiety, but she settled in very well at Tia’s house. They were really great about helping her get accustomed to the environment and all the new people and animals and also keeping us updated about how she was doing throughout her stay. Excellent experience and will definitely book again!”
“Amanda was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Naja! She made sure Naja got plenty of walks, attention, and affection, and I could tell my pup felt comfortable and happy with her. Amanda kept in touch the whole time, giving me updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I truly appreciate her care and professionalism. Naja and I would happily work with her again!”
“Brent is awesome! Took great care of our pup, shared photos and frequent communication during his stay. Helped with the overnight gear at pickup and drop off which made the transition a breeze. Highly recommend!”
“Ginnie watched our puppy Woody for a full weekend. We were very confident after meeting her that he would be in great hands and we were right. I would not hesitate to use her services again!”
“Very nice and friendly pet sitter. Will definitely go back. She was really nice to my kitten and also bought her a toy. She even gave me updates on my kitty so that I was not too worried about her. Loved Margaret’s service!”

Julie was absolutely wonderful with our golden retriever Toby! She was also very patient with us as we needed a sitter last minute and was flexible with us on dates. She went above and beyond for us and Toby while we were away, and we are so grateful. Would recommend Julie in a heartbeat and will certainly book again. Thanks Julie!!
Can’t say nothing but amazing things. Emily made me feel like I was there with my dog. From the start her communication really helped this experience an easy one. From the photos everyday down to the checkin In, Emily genuinely has a love for animals. Bailey loved every moment of her boarding. Emily has a passion for Animals and will help u feel confident and comfortable leaving ur dog in her care. Nothing but love and kindness.

There are 205 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Syracuse. About 91% of Syracuse sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
