“Shayla is the best!!! She is so nice and she takes such good care of our two mini golden doodles. We have her come twice a day. She is there on time, she walks them around the neighborhood to get exercise. She cleans the dogs eyes and put drops in them. She chops up their food for them. She gives them a lot of love and scratches. I love when she sends us pictures. I will always have her as their babysitter.”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid—whether it was walking neighborhood dogs, pet sitting for friends and family, or volunteering with rescues. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, temperaments, and special needs, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I care for my own pets every day, so adding a few more furry friends to the mix fits right in! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or extended stays, I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they deserve. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care. I follow your instructions closely to keep your pets comfortable, safe, and on their usual routine. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication if needed, and of course—plenty of love and attention. I keep things clean and tidy, and I’m happy to send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands.
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs since I was young. Have experience with small breeds and large breeds. Dealt with multiple health conditions, and have experience with training. I'm currently working full time but my job is every other week during the the night. I'll have plenty of time during the time while you're at work to play with your pups or check in on your kitties. I have a fully fenced in backyard that is 6ft. I have two very friendly pups, if personalities don't mesh I can drop my pups at my parents down the road. I can also create your pup if needed in a very large breed create.
“She was prompt and very gentle with Fisher. She fed and even cleaned out his litter box. I'm definitely going to go to Emma to look after Fisher whenever I have to stay late for work”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind and I love them all!! I have been dog sitting for 2 years now and also have my own animals that I love and take care of constantly. I also have a big back yard and lots of room in my home! I have had my own pets for my whole life so taking care of pets is my daily routine! I do work a part time job but it is early in the morning, so after that I go home and take care of my own pets. I have a fenced yard and lots of room in my home. I also have 2 dogs of my own that are small and very nice. I have many crates of all sizes if needed as well.
About: I am a dedicated animal lover with a natural ability to connect well with pets. I currently have a 2 pound chihuahua and have experience fostering, whom I thoroughly enjoyed caring for. I am able to care for dogs in the evening for walks when fur parents may not be available to do so. In addition to fostering, I also connect with cats. A friend's skittish cat feels comfortable enough to move about freely and relax in my presence, which reflects my calm and patient approach to animal care. I am currently looking for a part time gigs in the evenings Monday-Friday starting at 5:30pm. In the weekends I am only able to drop in and check on the fur friend and/or go on a walk with me. If there is a consistent fur friend that needs constant care, i would be opened to that. Before going to someone's home, I would ask what are is okay and not. What the fur friend needs to have a good time. Go on walks, on a small hike. Take to a dog park to socialize. Any specific details that I must know.

About: Hi! My name is Jayne! I am a mom of 6 and grandma of 11. I have also been a dog owner for many years. I truly feel that they are part of the family and should be treated with love and respect. I have worked as a volunteer at the animal shelter as well as a professional dog walker. As I've worked with dogs, I've learned that each one is different. They each have their own personality and their needs can vary. I feel that dog owners know their dog best and I will listen and take advice on how to best care for their pet. I'm excited to start this adventure! I am retired and spend my spare time playing with grandkids! I have lots of extra time to assist families with pet care. I am available most days at any time! I am reliable and trustworthy. I am very aware of pet's needs and will create an environment where your pet will feel safe and loved.
About: Hi, I’m Rebecca! I’ve been caring for animals for nearly 30 years and working professionally with them for over 12 years through rescue, boarding, training, and rehabilitation. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love what I do. Every pet that stays with me is treated with the same care and attention I give my own! I hold advanced dog training and animal behavior certifications, and I’m also certified in Animal CPR and First Aid, so your pup(s) will be in experienced, loving, and capable hands! Over the years I’ve worked with many different breeds and personalities, and I understand that every dog adjusts differently when away from home. Some dogs want to play all day, while others just want a quiet place to relax, and I do my best to make sure each dog feels safe and comfortable during their stay. I also have plenty of experience providing routine care and medications when needed, including pills, injections, and topical treatments. If your dog has special care instructions, I’m happy to follow their routine as closely as possible so they feel right at home. Dogs staying with me enjoy a large, fully fenced yard, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention and cuddles throughout their stay. Dogs go outside about once per hour while I'm home, and I return every 2–3 hours when I need to step out. My two very friendly dogs and four animal LOVING kids (9, 13, 14, and 16) help make sure visiting pets get plenty of playtime, affection, and mental stimulation, while still maintaining calm areas for your pups to have a comfortable place to decompress and relax. In addition to boarding, I also offer training services and yard cleanup services if you're interested. Please feel free to reach out for more information or a quote. I’m also happy to care for reptiles, birds, and other small animals as well. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full time in a flexible position that allows me to work from home a good majority of the time, or return home as needed while I am away. My job is only about 5 minutes away, and on days I’m away I come home every 2–3 hours to check on/let out the animals. I also have cameras in the home so I can keep an eye on everyone, and I’m able to return home quickly if anything needs my attention. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely run and play during their stay. There’s plenty of room for exercise, and I keep toys in the yard so dogs always have something fun to do. The yard is also covered by security cameras, so I can keep a watchful eye on everyone even if I step inside for a moment.
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have worked as a pet sitter and Walker professionally before. I am great with all animals and I treat them as if they were my own. I work full time in the biomedical engineering field. I have weekends off. I can also work evenings during the week if needed. But I can be flexible. I can also take your dogs to dog parks and also walk them around your neighborhood. My wife and kids live in our own home and will treat your home and pets respectfully.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Syracuse
Ashley and Michael were absolutely amazing with our dogs. Our living situation isn’t ideal for dog sitting, but they picked up and made it seem like no issue at all. Will definitely be using them again. They took plenty of pictures and allowed our dogs plenty of exercise while we were gone.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Syracuse stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Syracuse choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Syracuse with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
