“Kara has been acquainted with my rambunctious German Shepherd for over a year and I have never had to worry!

I trust her completely with my pet and you should too!”

About: I am comfortable with any size dog and love spending time with cats as well! My family has a Bernese, Doberman, and a Cane Corse and German Shepard mix so I love the big pups! I have helped take care of all our dogs as well as our cute kitty. I am currently looking for more work and will be relatively open to whatever schedule needed. I would prefer to work earlier in the day and have a evenings more open. I love to take care of my dogs and whenever taking care of them, I like to make a habit of feeding them and taking them on a walk early in the morning, and then making sure to spend time with them during the day. I always have my dogs on leash and make sure to keep water with me and reward them with treats.

I am available any time for walks and pet sitting. Any schedule is fine If my client has a fenced in yard, I’ll let pets out into the yard play with them outside, cleaning up as needed. If no fenced in yard a long walk to make sure they have their exercise based on what each dog is willing and able to do.

About: We have a dog park right next to my unit & I promise you I know how hard it is to trust someone with your fur baby! I will love and take care of them, ensuring they don't feel lonely or abandoned. <3 I think updates are very important & provide so much reassurance and comfort that your dog is safe, loved & helps with having that communication❤️ I'm home and available most days! We have a small mini fenced off dog park right next to our townhome & a small private patio. I am fairly quick to respond to inquiries. I am a CNA, but taking a short break enjoying caring for fur babies these days ❤️ There is a fenced off dog park right next to my home, I go in there with the dog and make sure no other dogs are in to ensure safety, and frankly you just never know how dogs will be around eachother.

About: 🐾 New to Rover, Not to Pet Care! Hi, I’m Shelby! 👋 Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for 12+ years. From playful puppies to senior pets and those with special needs, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. ❤️ As a Direct Support Professional, caring for others is what I do every day. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and treat your pets like family. ✨ What you can expect: 🐶 12+ years of pet care experience 💊 Medication administration 🐾 Experience with puppies, seniors & special needs 📸 Frequent photo updates 🚶 Walks, playtime & enrichment 💙 Lots of love, cuddles, and personalized care I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family! 🐕🐈 I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
About: I have been watching dogs for around 6 years and have been reliable to many clients to take the best care of their animals. I usually walk the animals along with spending the night if needed and will spend long hours with the pets. I currently am a full time student at Weber so in the evenings I have a lot of free time. I don’t have any set times or days so I can work around schedules pretty easily. I have a fenced backyard and a doggy door so my dogs can roam around freely as they please. I take one of my dogs on walks and the other one I play fetch with to make sure they get exercise they need.

I want the best for my pets and i would expect to do the same for others!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Syracuse. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
