Doggy Day Care in Syracuse

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and more. I currently have two dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, energy level, and routine so I tailor their care to match. I offer more than just boarding. Your pet can enjoy structured walks, trail hikes, enrichment play, drop-ins, bathing, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I’m also experienced with administering medications, so you can feel confident your pet is fully cared for. Your pet will be part of a calm, loving home with my two animal-savvy kids (15 & 11), getting real family attention, not just supervision. Whether your pet needs adventure, playtime or snuggles, I’ve got them covered. You’ll get regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re safe, happy, and loved. I’m home full time and ready to spend the day doing what your pet loves the most. Whether that means fetch at the park, an adventurous hike, or Petflix and chill, we’ll make the most of our time together. I have a fully fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pets company. Your pets will have plenty of options when it comes to getting cozy and comfortable. If your pets feel more secure in a crate of their own, I’m happy to provide space for that too.

“Ashley and Michael were incredible. We were super late getting back from our event and they were super accommodating. Thin Mint was properly tired out and ready for bed by the time we picked him up. Great experience, I will definitely be bringing Thin Mint back!”

“Connie is such a sweetheart who took such great care of my sweet little boy. He’s lived a life and can be nervous in new places, but her sweet self and her fun little pup Patty helped Toby settle right in and enjoy a fun filled day! I’m excited to rebook with Connie to help my little guy get more comfortable in our new town!!”

About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, and that’s shaped me into someone who shows up for them especially the ones who can’t advocate for themselves. Over the years I’ve helped stray cats, done dog runs for rescues, participated in pulling dogs from kill shelters, and volunteered at local organizations where I take neglected or anxious dogs out for walks and hikes to help them decompress. Caring for animals isn’t a hobby for me; it’s something I’ve always felt responsible for. What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of hands-on experience, patience, and calm confidence with animals of all backgrounds. I’m comfortable with puppies who need structure, senior pets who require a gentler approach, and animals who come with trauma or nervous behaviors. I pay attention to body language, adjust my pace to each pet’s comfort level, and make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be treated with the same compassion and commitment I bring to every animal I’ve ever helped. Caring for others is already at the center of my life. I work full time taking care of my three little kids, and I build my days around making sure my kids and animals get the attention, structure, and care they need. When I’m looking after an animal, they’re fully integrated into that routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, quiet time, or any special instructions you have. I have a genuine passion for helping those who need a little extra support, so I’m used to adjusting my schedule to meet each animal where they are. Whatever your pet requires, I make sure it fits smoothly into the flow of my day so they feel safe, cared for, and part of the family while they’re with me. When I care for pets in my home, they have plenty of space and stimulation throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where they can run, play, and explore safely. There are always toys and treats available, and my two friendly dogs provide great company for any visiting pup. My three kids also love helping out and make sure your fur child gets lots of attention. I focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable, and structured environment that helps each pet feel at ease. I will follow your instructions closely feeding schedules, routines, quirks, and any special needs so your pet’s routine stays consistent.

About: I love animals and have had furry friends in my family for the last 20 years. Right now we have a cute Cardigan Welsh Corgi named Dublin. He has lots of energy and loves playing with other dogs! If your pet needs some play time, they will get plenty of love from me and my two kiddos. I treat all animals with love and respect, and I will try to give you and your pet the best experience possible. I understand how pets become a part of the family, and I will always treat them like my own. I'm a stay at home mom to my two kids and our puppy Dublin! We're home most of the day and we would love for your doggos to come play with us! We have a fenced yard for dogs to run around. They can also play inside with us, we're home most of the time. We usually crate dogs overnight.

About: I've been pet sitting since I was very young! Friends and family have trusted me with their fur babies, and I love having them around in my home! I am a full time mom and have 1 child under the age of 4 who adores pets and we have a small pup. I will be home all day to ensure all are safe and taken care of! I have a small front area that is fenced and will be able to take a walk to a bigger area for more play time if needed.

“Jana's love of animals really shines through! She was so patient & kind in getting to know my Frenchie named Ava, and astutely observed Ava's nervousness meeting a new sitter. She sent some great pictures of her dog Olive playing with Ava, and one cute pic of Ava chilling out. Jana provided Ava with her probiotic on time, and put all her treats back in her treat bag after they spilled out. Jana is a great sitter who I trust will give Ava everything she needs. I look forward to bringing Ava in the future.”

“Julie was willing to be flexible with us on time for drop off and pick up which was so helpful because we had never done a day at Lagoon and didn't really know what we were getting into. My dog seemed very happy and content after and he typically has a lot of separation anxiety so that was so wonderful to see.”

Erica C.

“We just picked up our puppy! It looked like he had a great time! Antoinette sent us pictures each day and a video of puppy playing! They had all his supplies packed up and helped load our car! Thank you for taking such good care of Rufus!!”

Suzanne H.

“This was our first time leaving our puppy and we were really nervous about it. But Ashley made us feel comfortable and at ease from the get go. Our little guy seemed completely calm and worn out from a fun day when we picked him up. Would definitely use Ashley again.”

About: I have offered sitting services for the past 12 years for family and friends. Looking to expand my small business. I will provide play time, walking, and feeding on the pups or kitty’s schedule. I work full time in a hybrid situation so your fur baby will possibly need to be alone for part of the day. I recently moved to a new position that requires me to go in office at times during the weekdays. Weekends, later afternoons, evening, overnights and most holidays, will be free to be available to stay full time with pet or pets. I have experience with other animals also such as Ducks, Chickens, Fish and reptiles. Please let me know if you require these services. Price will depend on care instructions. I try to be as flexible and reasonable with these costs. I work well dogs who have separation anxiety and need the comfort of a human most of the day. My pets are part of the family and yours will be treated as a member of the household during their stay. If I tend at your home will my small dog be permitted to be with me? I do ask that you please advise me prior to the sit if it’s not in dogs or cats best interest for him to be there.. While my lil pup is never far from momma, we understand either way.

“I think Mazie had a fun day. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby. She’s worn out from playing with your puppy all day. I loved the updates and pictures during the day!!”

“Alicia and Mikel took great care of our Zatticus. We would definitely ask them to watch him again.”

Dennis R.

“She did a wonderful job! My buddy is a little whiny when I’m not around, and she made him and me feel as if he was secure and safe. This was the first sitter I’ve used on this app and I will continue to use this app because I had a great experience with her. She took very cute pictures of buddy, and it makes me happy knowing he had a fun time over there.”

“Steve gets so excited to go to Jessica’s. He loves playing with the other dogs and he’s able to run out his high energy. Jessica is very sweet and caring. We’re so happy we found her!”

Tammi R.

“This was my first experience with ROVER and Alissa did not disappoint. They were timely in their communication, adaptable around some scheduling changes and my pup came home happy and tired from a full day of playing with new friends. They also sent pictures mid day of my pup letting me have some insight to his daily activities. They provided a coat for outside time which was greatly appreciated and they have the same healthy treats that I give my pup, so the treats I sent weren't needed. Definitely would recommend them and will be using them in the future! Thanks for taking such great care of my fur baby!”

“Flexible, takes great care of my puppy, kids are good with the puppy too.”

About: Before I was even able to walk pets have been my passion! I started grooming my grandmother's poodles and Maltese mixes at 8 years old and became quite good at it. Later in life I worked at a grooming salon with both dogs and cats. My most recent job was at a veterinary emergency hospital, where I learned a LOT about animal safety, as well as animal behavior and first aid. I plan on returning to work in the veterinary field once my little one is older. I've been the proud owner of all kinds of breeds of dogs, cat, gerbils and reptiles. I have trained my own dogs since they were puppies and have also owned senior dogs and dogs with disabilities, including paralysis and wheelchair users. I grew up with dogs that needed consistant oral medication as well as a diabetic dog that I would give insulin injections to daily. My husband is absolutely wonderful with animals and loves them as well, however I will be their main caretaker. We both strive to make sure youre satisfied with your pets care. My goal is to keep your animals in a safe and loving environment so that you don't need to worry about them while away. It's hard leaving your pets, but I hope that I can help ease that difficulty by gaining your trust and giving you a secure temporary home for your fur babies. I currently stay at home with my baby, my schedule is open all week at any time. My husband also works from home, so we are both always home. We have a large, fenced backyard that our two dogs love playing in. We have a black lab and a medium sized mixed breed Staffordshire Terrier. They're both trained, dog friendly and cat friendly. We also have two cats that are both cat and dog friendly. Our cats are not allowed outside. Our home is separated with two gates at each end of the staircase leading upstairs. Cats and smaller dogs are welcome both up and downstairs (whichever they prefer). Our own pups, both being a bit bigger, have everything they need on the first level, which is generally where we are. We have a 5 year old, which you can see in our photos, who has always been taught to treat animals with respect. He is well aware of animal behavior and safety. We also have a 7 month old. New animals in our home will never be left unattended with our animals to ensure safety. Your pet will never be left home unattended as either my husband or I are always here.

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.

“Anna is amazing! Last week was our first week and Ash was so comfortable with her! She took him on walks and he bonded with her! It made for an easier transition back into the office life.”
