Top rated Syracuse house sitters
“We booked with Elva and Matt for house sitting while we were on vacation. Our previous planned sitter had cancelled last minute and we are honestly so happy they did so we could meet Matt and Elva! Blu absolutely loved them and they took great care of him, as well as the house. Their communication was amazing and we got daily photos and updates of our little guy! We will definitely be booking 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.”
“Bailey was the sweetest thing and we were very grateful she could accommodate us through the weekend. She was very responsive every time we reached out via text and we appreciate her meeting us in advance to introduce the pups to her.”
“Jayd did a fantastic job taking care of my Nova! This was the first time I’ve been away from Nova since I adopted her a year ago, and she’d already had 3 other owners before me, so needless to say I was nervous about leaving her. But Jayd was so caring of Nova and did a fantastic job communicating with me, sending lots of pictures and updates, and it really put my mind at ease. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch their pets! A million thumbs up!”
“Shayla went above and beyond of what was expected of her. She has impeccable communication skills and always gave me great updates on both of my dogs. One of my dogs has high anxiety so he can be a handful. Shayla was able to handle his little quirks with ease. She even went as far as cleaning up after both of my dogs when the house got dirty because of them being outside. Took out the trash when she left and locked up. In essence, everything you would expect as if she was renting an Airbnb. I would 10/10 recommend her.”
“Hettie did a fantastic job watching Murphy and our house. Plenty of pics and updates during the week we were gone. And we came home to a clean house and a happy dog.”
“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!”
“Kianna was so amazing to stay with our furbabies while we went on our trip! She made sure everything was taken care of, and the puppies got more attention then they do while we are home 😅! Will definitely use her again💕💕”
“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”
