About: I got my first dog when I was 8 years old, and ever since then I have not wanted to live a day without animals! All together I have had 4 dogs, and a cat. From living with my parents growing up, 3 dogs in total, to being on my own and rescuing my baby Sammy (male/ black lab) when he was 5 months old. He is now 4.5! He had a lot of anxiety as a shelter animal, but I have helped him overcome many obstacles, and we are each others rocks! My cat named Binky I rescued when she was 4 weeks old, and she changed my life. I never had cats growing up because my mom is allergic which is extremely unfortunate. But my cat is my life, I feel like she really understands me on a deeper level, and if you have a cat I am sure you can understand that! All in all, I love and cherish every animal like they’re my own. You will never have to worry about the safety or care that they’ll be receiving when I am around! I am not shy of any breed or animal, thank you for taking the time to look at my profile and I hope I can meet your animals soon! I am currently unemployed, but as a hobby I stream video games on platforms like Twitch and TikTok! My hours are mostly free, my stepson is in middle school currently, so mornings/afternoons are perfect for me! I would say my cut off time is around 6pm, but if you really need me I’m sure I can make something work! I am extremely flexible and so is my family schedule! I have been around many different types of animals with all sorts of personalities. Not every animal is the same! Before I know how to properly take care of/treat an animal, I like to get a sense of their temperament and comfortability so I do not stress them out in any way. My dog had extreme anxiety when I first adopted him at the shelter, and it took a while for him to become comfortable to most things. Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to caring for animals! Whatever your animal needs, I will make sure to tend to their needs to the best of my abilities! Whether that’s just hanging out and cuddling because they’re anxious and miss their family, or going outside and playing for however long! I also love taking dogs on walks and I’m sure your fur babies love walks as well!
“Brandi was amazing to work with. She communicated with me from the very beginning, asked thoughtful questions at our meet and greet, and provided my dog with great care. I never worried while I was away from home. This was my first time using Rover. If it's as easy as Brandi makes it, I'll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Welcome 🐶 My name is Anna and my husbands name is Austin! We have been doing Rover for a while now and we love our Rover dogs so much!! Thanks for viewing our Rover profile, I have listed a few things to know and expect if you choose us.😊 What you can expect if you book with us: - A meet and greet in our backyard or at the nearby park if you wish before the drop off date so you can meet us 😊 - Walks! We have a great neighborhood with lots of parks with walking trails. No matter the time of year I try to do a daily walk. - Experienced pet owners. We both grew up with animals since we were kids. We have even helped one of our previous dogs deliver a litter of puppies and had them for 10 weeks! Our days revolve around our son, our own pets and the pets we watch. They are walked, fed and taken care of exactly how their owners ask us to.🐶 I have a fenced yard, kennels if needed and plenty of space in the home for your pets to find a comfy spot. If you have cats we have cat trees, scratch posts and plenty of spaces for your kitty to nap away. I never take on more than 3 bookings a day. If you have questions about other pets that will be here with yours I’m happy to tell you about them. 😊
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since childhood to include dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits. I am currently not working so have a very flexible schedule. I also have access to Hill Air Force Base!

I am currently not working so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am free most any time of day and am willing to help out early or late if needed. I understand the worry of leaving your pet with someone new. I will always provide the best safety measures possible when caring for your pet. This can include crating, making sure harnesses/collars are secure before walks, and supervising chew toys!
“Clasie took EXCELLENT care of our two cats while we were out of town! She kept us in the loop of what was going on with them. When something popped up with our cat who is diabetic, she contacted us right away and was quick to respond. Our pets are our kids and I felt very comfortable and confident that they were well cared for. Also, we got pictures at each visit which was an awesome bonus that we weren’t expecting!”

(we stopped around a year ago) I have experienced all kinds of dogs and cats (mostly dogs) come in and out of my household making sure each one gets the best care possible!

I love dogs and own 5 myself, I can administer medications and just play with your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I currently have a small puppy so I already have a good routine of letting her out to play, go potty and such. I only work my day job about 7 hours a day in the early morning so I’ll be able to go in the early afternoon and let your pet out and play with them every day. The pets in my home have a spacious environment to be around the family while we are home. We always watch out for our dogs when they are out of the crate and the same for any of your pets that come over to hang out.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I prioritize consistency and make sure every pet receives the care, affection, and routine they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owner is away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and provide plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I communicate regularly with updates and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had many dogs in my lifetime. We currently have a 3 year old black lab. I have also been a pet sitter for several people over the years.

About: I grew up with a Golden Retriever and currently have a Maltese, Havanese, Shih Tzu mix of my own. Having experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels has taught me how to care for each dogs individual needs. I’ve also had many friends, family members, and others trust me to walk and care for their dogs. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and would be happy to give your pup the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. Having a dog of my own has taught me how important it is to be patient, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one so special. Weather your dog is always ready for an adventure, loves sniffing, and exploring on walks, or is happiest getting extra attention and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they have a great time! I also know how important it is to have someone you can count on when it comes to your pets. I’ll always do my best to follow your dogs usual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while your away. I’d be happy to send updates and pictures so you can see how your pup is doing! I want you to have a peace of mind knowing your dog is in caring hands and your pup to have a new friend they’re excited to see! 🐶 Pet care is a big part of my everyday life because I have a dog of my own. She is extremely picky, so i’m used to paying attention to what she likes, making sure she’s eating, and noticing when something seems different with her. I take care of her throughout the day, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving lots of attention. I’d love to use some extra time to help people with their pets needs. I’m comfortable making time for walks and drop-in visits and would treat every pet like they are my own. For drop-in visits and walks, I always make sure each pet gets the care and attention they need. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and anything else you ask me to do. I’ll also make sure your pet is comfortable and safe before I leave, and i’ll send updates and pictures so you know how they’re doing.

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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Syracuse is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $23 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 2,845 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Syracuse. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
