“Xion was amazing! They went above and beyond in home sitting our dog over our Thanksgiving vacation. From near-daily text and photo updates, to even shoveling snow from our driveway and sidewalk, they really took care of everything and more. So grateful and would absolutely book again!”

“We have always had family watch our fur babies and was so nervous to try something new. I didn't have to even bug/check in, she beat me to checking in each day. We were in and out of cell service and every afternoon I had a picture and message which was sooo nice. My boys were spoiled as they usually are and so happy. I definitely suggest Emilee to take care of your babies!!”
“Kimmie was amazing with our husky Royal. She came over before hand and talked with us to know what to expect. Royal loved her!! Since working from home, we never lock him up anymore, so it was great that she could stay with him and work from my home! She sent updates and was great communicating with me. We'll be repeat customers with her for sure. I've had a bad experience with the last person I booked so I was nervous about booking again, but Kimmie put my mind at ease and did a fantastic job!”

“Lexi was great with my kitten! She was flexible with times and did a meet and greet beforehand. She sent pictures and updates on how my cat was doing while I was gone. Will definitely be using her again for petsitting!”

About: Hi! I’m a newlywed who loves dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have lots of experience caring for multiple dogs both in my home and in clients’ homes, and I treat every pup like they’re part of the family. I know routines, reading cues, and giving calm, loving attention makes pets feel happy and safe while you’re away. I also work with kids, so I totally get that your pets are like your little ones! I work around 25 hours a week, which means I have plenty of time to play, cuddle, and spoil your pups. My apartment doesn’t allow pets, but I would be so excited to spend time with yours at home or out on a fun walk! Pet care fits easily into my routine! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets happy and active throughout the day. I love bringing fun, energy, and consistency into each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their usual routine so they feel comfy and relaxed. We’ll enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and lots of love in their favorite space. I keep things fun, calm, and consistent while making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Ilana took care of my mini zoo which is a large task She did is well. If she can handle my 3 dogs, 2 cats and a bearded dragon and not miss a beat, she can handle your babies. She took care of my place like it was her own. She even washed and dried the newly cleaned sheets and towels I left for her before she left my home . Thank you Ilana. I would like you to come back again”


“What an awesome sitter. My dogs were well taken care of. Plus after the weekend she stripped her bedding and put it in the laundry room. Everything was clean. Definitely will request her again”


“Candace was amazing with my two dogs. She was patient and understanding. Both my dogs have anxiety when we leave and she did not hesitate to keep me updated on the two.”

About: New to Syracuse! With years of Rover experience at our previous home, we’re excited to continue the adventure in our new town. Available for weekend boarding, and walks on Tuesday/thursday/saturday/sunday. My partner and I have opposite schedules so there is always someone home to take care of your pups! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays for drop in walks, as well as free all weekend. We have a fenced yard with two pups that will show them how to enjoy the space. We love all the snuggles and your pups are welcome on alllll the furniture (except the kitchen table, that’s too much 😂)
About: I have cared for many friends, family, and co-workers' pets over the years. I love animals (even bugs, lizards, and birds) and am always willing to keep them safe and from being lonely. I work full time and can do so remotely. If I need to check on a pet during the week, I can fit it in to the days I don't have to be in the office. Please message me the date and time needed, and I will check my calendar. I am unable to care for pets in my own home. But if your pooch is friendly and wants to run with mine at the dog park, or just go for a nice enrichment filled walk, I can do that with ease. I can even take your dog solo if they prefer not to be social.
“We love Tammy. She is outstanding with our three dogs and two cats. Tammy gives you updates on your babies everyday with pictures. She is our permanent sitter and we already have the next time booked with her. We wouldn’t have anyone else watch our babies.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Zoe’s incredible care for our baby doggie, Caramel, while we were away on a family trip to Hawaii! From the moment we left, we knew Caramel was in the best hands. Zoe treated her like royalty, giving her so much love and snuggles that it almost made us jealous! We especially appreciated the regular updates, complete with photos of Caramel’s adorable antics and health check-ins. It brought us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet girl was happy and thriving while we were away. Zoe went above and beyond in every way, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will love your pet as much as you do, Zoe is the one!”


About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs my whole life, I was always the primary care taker for my golden doodle growing up and I take care of my own kitty now. I was also in charge of house breaking, and skill training for three different dogs we had. I’m excited to meet some new cute kitties and pups! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is very open! For short visits I’ll bring my baby with but for anything lengthier I can drop her off with my parents, I’d love to take time out of my day to play with some animals and get out of the house! When I’ve watched pets before I’ll make sure to let them outside to do their business, then make sure I play with them for a while to get their energy out before they have to come back inside :)
About: I have been a pet-owner my entire life, and have been dog-sitting for others since I was 14 years old. I love animals and would take expert care of your pet(s)! I just moved to Utah recently, and am in the process of finding full-time employment. In the meantime, I have plenty of time to care for your pets as needed. I am very respectful of any and all boundaries that are set forth. I am the type to give your pet the time to become comfortable with me, as I know many furry friends can be scared of new people. I interact with animals just as I would like to be treated, with empathy and patience!

Kimmie was great. She came a couple days prior to the date needed and spent time getting to know my boys, and they were so excited. Kimmie kept us updated and sent photos of the boys and were very considerate and friendly. We will definitely be seeking Kimmie’s dog/house sitting services again.

Lyric stayed in our home for a couple nights to keep our cats company while we were gone. They were so happy when we arrived back home and seemed well taken care of. Lyric sent pictures each day and was very easy to work with. We are so appreciative to her for the last minute booking and peace of mind. We will definitely use her again in the future!
Ilina took great care of Ellie and Milo! They warmed up to her so quickly and I received photos of them almost every day. When I got home, she had already put the linens and towels through the washer and dryer and the house was left tidy. I would definitely recommend Ilina and I’ll be reaching out to her again if I need an in home sitter!
