“Great family to babysit your dog! Mine is special needs that requires meds twice daily and they were on top of it. Always sent pictures and videos daily so we could see what she was up to. We will come back again for our next vacation and highly recommend 😊”

“It was my first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Angelia took amazing care of Piper and kept me at ease the whole time. I’m so grateful for her kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m a military family member living right here on Hill AFB, and I’d love to welcome your fur baby into my home! 🐾 I live in a comfortable 3-bedroom home with a fully fenced backyard, giving your pup plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away. My wife also lives with me, so your pup will have a loving, comfortable home environment. I have an 8-year-old Black Lab named Bleu and a 3-year-old domestic shorthair cat named Scat. Both are part of the family and are used to having other animals around. 🐶🐱 I understand that life doesn’t always go according to plan. Work trips, vacations, last-minute changes, emergencies, or simply needing someone you trust to watch your pup can happen with very little notice. I’m happy to work with different schedules whenever I can because I know how important it is to have someone reliable you can count on. My goal is simple: treat your dog like they’re one of mine. ❤️ I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of dogs as long as they’re house-trained, dog- and cat-friendly, and not food aggressive. Outside of those basics, I’m pretty easygoing! I’m happy to follow your normal routines, feeding instructions, medication schedules, crate preferences, and whatever helps your pup feel comfortable. While you’re away, you can expect plenty of attention, a safe home environment, backyard time, and lots of love and cuddles. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you don’t have to wonder what your fur baby is up to. 📸🐾 Whether you need a sitter for a planned vacation or something comes up at the last minute, I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furbaby! Rover Profile Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I’m already used to the daily responsibilities that come with caring for pets, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and all the little things that help pets feel comfortable and happy. One of the biggest benefits of booking with me is that pets will have someone around throughout the day, so they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, keep an eye on them, and make sure they stay on their normal routine while you’re away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treating every pet like part of the family. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely, keep their routine as consistent as possible, and give them plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re in my home. 🐾 Boarding & Daycare For boarding and daycare, I treat every pet that stays with me like part of the family. 🐾 My home is their home away from home, and I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, happy, and on as close to their normal routine as possible. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, play, and plenty of room to stretch their legs. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and downtime. For cats, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where they can relax, explore at their own pace, and receive plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual feeding schedule, medication instructions, crate routine, sleeping arrangements, and any other care instructions you provide. I also understand that every pet has a different personality — some want to play all day, some want constant cuddles, and some simply want a quiet place to nap. I’m happy to meet each pet where they’re most comfortable. Pets staying with me will have regular supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and being well cared for. ❤️
“These guys are literally the best!! I get daily pictures and updates every time we go out of town. It gives us such peace of mind! So grateful we have a second home for our Penny to go!”

“My pup seemed to enjoy staying with Jana and her pups. We were able to get a reservation quickly and she was very accommodating. We recieved photos daily. Thank you so much!! -Leanne”

“Elise did such a good job with my puppy! Our cute little furball came home happy and very well loved. Not only did her kids give her lots of attention (which is just like home), but our puppy got lots of interaction with their dog too, which was really helpful for her socializing. We knew she was in good hands! And as an added perk, Elise even sent a picture and video of our puppy playing in the snow. Too cute! Thank you, Elise! We will definitely be returning!”

“Marina did an excellent job on taking care of Harley. She went beyond what I expected. Took Harley out for walks, and even took Harley to her favorite dog park. Keept me updated and sent pictures. I highly recommend Marina.”

“Fantastic experience!! Our pup is full of energy and they handled him with no problems! Genuinely seemed to love the dogs. Highly recommend! they were great to work with! Our pup came home happy and tired will definitely call again!”

“Kayla did a good job taking care of Molly. Only thing that she didn't do was send a picture or pictures with Molly each day. The other Rover ladies do that. That is okay.”

“Steven and his family did a wonderful job watching our dog for 10 days. She seemed very comfortable and well taken care of. He was very kind and offered a lot of flexibility. Was also kind enough to send updates and pictures periodically. Never had a problem once getting in contact with him - very responsive! I highly recommend Steven and would absolutely use him again in the future”

“Lauren was absolutely wonderful for my two dogs! I have a puppy and an old boy and they both were very well cared for while my fiancé and I were out of town. She was an exceptional communicator and a great doggy photographer as well. We loved the pictures! I will definitely use her again anytime I need a sitter.”

Bianca is Amazing!! She always sends Beaux home happy and healthy. It’s better than just doggy daycare it’s like a doggy spa. Beaux gets a fresh new bandana and always smells so good. She gives Beaux treats to take home. We love that she treats Beaux like one of her own. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had such an amazing experience with Mckehl! She was absolutely wonderful with our dog and made us feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was loving, attentive, reliable, and kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind 🫶🏽

Edgar was an awesome dog sitter. Provided timely response, daily updates with pictures and videos. His two pups made it real easy for Chevy to make friends real quick. Edgar also provided some good excersise for Chevy which is a huge plus especially for herding dogs. Would highly recommend and would book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Syracuse is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,235 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Syracuse. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Syracuse can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Syracuse home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Syracuse.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Syracuse sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 UT ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
