Rachel is awesome! Our dog had so much fun at her house and loved playing with her dogs. When we came to get him he wanted to stay with her family! We felt safe and comfortable and could enjoy our vacation knowing that he was in good hands.

Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.

Lucy was great! Our dog can be pretty needy in the attention department and usually comes home big mad when we’ve tried other boarding arrangements. Not this time! She came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. Lucy was also very communicative throughout our dogs stay sending photos to give us peace of mind. Would book again!

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.

Strathmore, Syracuse, NY, 13207

About: I live in Strathmore and work downtown. My absolute favorite things in life are my sons (who are amazing human beings!) and animals. Now that my sons are independent and out of the house, I enjoy being around and caring for animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals (e.g., dogs, cats, tarantulas, snakes, insects, and more). And I have had and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from mini dachshunds with serious Napoleon complexes to larger-than-life Rottweilers and Great Danes. If you need a trustworthy, reliable, and affordable caregiver, feel free to reach out. :) Please note: Rate adjustments are available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Happy to work around your needs. I work in downtown Syracuse, so I can help with mid-day potty breaks for pets who live in Syracuse when needed. I have a fenced-in yard and live right across from Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place for walks if your pet needs to stay with me. I'm also happy to stay at clients' homes.

Riley had a wonderful day! I received a video and pictures throughout the day. Matt and Ashley are very responsive. Riley loved playing with the two resident dogs and another guest pup. I felt confident leaving Riley because I knew she would be well taken care of. I highly recommend Matt and Ashley.

During the booking process, Alyssa asked really thoughtful questions and prompt responses to ensure her home would be a good fit for our dog. She was then very patient and responsive to our dog through some heightened anxiety while he adjusted to being away from us. She provided everything he needed (calm presence, solid walks) and communicated clearly with pictures and updates about how he was settling in during his stay. I would trust her with our dog again and highly recommend!

Prior to booking Kara, I hadn’t used Rover in years and was nervous about leaving my dog in the care of another person—we’re attached at the hip. However, I couldn’t have booked a better person. Kara is extremely communicative and caring, and had plenty of space for my pup to run around and explore. She asked lots of clarifying questions prior to booking, and I could tell she really enjoyed and remained curious about the personality of my dog! I received lots of pictures and quick responses. My energetic Staffordshire Terrier, Toto, enjoyed a long weekend of naps and sunshine, and returned to me vibrant as ever! Kara’s awesome care eased any worries I might have had, and I highly recommend her to anyone who might also be a reluctant helicopter parent like I am! If this if your first Rover rodeo, you can proceed with confidence, which is an amazing feeling to have.

Ashley was great! Our pups had a great time and were well cared for. She carried out careful meet-and-greets outside the home which allowed the pups to become comfortable and more relaxed. Looking forward to their next visit and would definitely recommend.

Chelsea was absolutely amazing with Auggy! She took such great care of him and truly treated him like her own. We loved all the detailed updates and photos she sent — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she spent lots of time playing with him and making sure he felt loved and comfortable.

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!

Amanda was amazing! She came to the rescue when our sitter had to cancel, last minute. Amanda provided updates, with pictures, which was great. We immediately felt comfortable and knew our dog was in great hands. We joked that he probably didn’t want to come home. We will absolutely be using Amanda again. She was a joy to work with!

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.

Zuhal is the easily the best sitter I’ve dealt with. She’s been my go-to for about a year now and she’s always been patient, professional, and caring. For example, one time I stupidly forgot to leave my keys for her so she could enter and she was patient enough to wait at my residence until someone could drop off the keys. If you have any doubts about finding a reliable pet-sitter, then you’ve found the right one with Zuhal.
