Desiree did so great with our fur baby! She sent photos and even a video of our guy on her visit. We knew he was in great hands and will definitely rebook with her in the future!

Elva was very responsive. She texts frequent updates on my fur babies. She shows up on time and ensures all of my animals have all of their needs and wants met. She made sure everyone was happy and safe. She answered any questions I had promptly. She shows true love and care for animals.

About: I’m a lifelong dog‑and‑cat lover who’s owned up to four dogs at once and would absolutely own a zoo if society would let me. I’ve got tons of experience with dog walks, overnight care, and keeping both dogs and cats happy, fed, and loved. Your pets will be treated like family! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full‑time and already surrounded by animals and little animal‑lovers. I have two kids under three who absolutely adore pets, so giving dogs and cats attention, playtime, and love is part of our everyday rhythm. As a lifelong pet owner who has cared for up to four dogs at once, I know how important it is to make your pets feel like family. Your fur babies will get the same consistency, affection, and care they’re used to at home. In my home, pets get a safe, comfortable, and flexible environment. I have separate wings of the house where I can keep dogs or cats separated if needed, and a very large fenced‑in backyard with plenty of room to roam, sniff, and play. I also have two large crates available for pups who need or prefer crate time. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routines! To include feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions!:) So your pets feel secure and comfortable. I’m home full‑time, and my two kids (both under three) absolutely adore animals, so giving pets attention and love is part of our daily rhythm. As a lifelong pet owner, I know how important it is to make your pets feel like family, and that’s exactly how I care for them.

Ilina did a great job with my babies. One of them is timid, but she became good friend with her! She has great communication and respectful. I am glad to find her and will recommend her to anyone who needs help.

About: Pets are members of our family, and our family deserves to be taken care of. I absolutely adore animals, I have pets of my own, and they are my whole world. I have an adorable Maltese named Fizzgig and a Black Cat named Thackery Binx. Prior to this dog, I had a Maltese named Tinkerbell. I just want to be able to care for other animals as I have cared for mine. We all have responsibilities that keep us away from home most days, and we want to be sure our little fur babies are well-cared for in our absence. I can promise you that I will provide to their every need, and maybe even spoil them a little bit! I’m a published author, and I spend way too much time locked up inside writing. I need to get out and walk and have a break from the soul-sucking experience of sitting in front of the screen all day. I hate sitting idle. I have too much energy. Dogs have too much energy. It's a perfect match! I need something else to keep me moving in a day, and playing with precious animals seems like the perfect job! I can crate or leash dogs to ensure they will not run away, and if your cat is exclusively a house cat, I am well accustomed to keeping those quick felines from darting outdoors.

About: I’ve had dogs for my whole life. Ever since I was little I was taking care of them, feeding them, taking them on walks, and playing with them. I love spending time with dogs and playing around with them. At one point, I had 4 dogs in my house growing up, so I can handle if you have a few pets. Ive had older dogs and puppies, so I’m experienced in taking care of both. Right now, I have open availability. I’m available to drop by when needed or stay as long as I need to ensure your pets are properly taken care of. The apartment I’m living at is currently pet free, but growing up I had a fenced in back yard for our pets to run around in. We also would put them in their crate when we needed to go somewhere. I also have dog sat for people who did not have a fence, so when it came time for the dogs to go outside, I would put them on a leash.

About: I've been a pet parent to, worked with in a professional setting, and loved animals my whole life! Having worked in both boarding facilities and vet hospitals, I have a keen eye for detail when it comes to fur babies' well being . I'm experienced in handling pets of all ages, and have an extra soft spot for the elderly or those with a little extra energy. My special skill is making best friends with anxious and nervous pups! Confidant in handling medication administration - oral, topical, or injectable. I have open availability, hoping to take pet care as a full time job. I can do early morning to late night visits and anything in between. I will be their emotional support human. Give them cuddles if needed or just someone to be present. I will never push boundaries in a pets comfort level. I have a keen eye for reading body language and spotting possible illness or injury. Take dogs out for a potty break or scoop litter boxes, refresh water, play, give medications, feed

Makaila did an excellent job taking care of my dog over a long holiday weekend. She was extremely flexible, responsive, and attentive. She even spent extra time during visits with my dog out of her own freewill and kindness so that my dog would fell less lonely over the long weekend. All while sending plenty of updates. I felt comfortable leaving knowing my dog would be well taken care of. Highly recommend!

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, 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’ve had dogs my entire life, and have worked as a kennel technician for the last 3 years, along with being a dog bather for an additional year. I am comfortable with any breed and size of dog. I have experience with many different behaviors within dogs. Many people like family, friends, and clients at my job rely on me to care for their fur babies! I currently work full time as a kennel technician, but have two days off during the week where I’m looking to make some extra money! I’m free anytime Tuesday’s and Thursday’s! For drop in visits, I will provide the services of making sure your pet is able to go outside to use the bathroom, gets a water or snack break, along with any other requirements. I’m comfortable giving medication if needed, and making sure your pets are safe and taken care of!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Syracuse

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Syracuse on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,922 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Syracuse. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Syracuse. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
