“Kaylee did a great job with our cats while we were away. She was patient and waited for them to come to her, which I know they appreciated. She followed instructions and went the extra mile to make sure the cats were happy. We will definitely request her again and recommend her to others!”


“Hayley was super communicative and flexible. She sat with our cats, kept them company, and found ways to vary their days, which was important without anyone in the house while we were gone.”


About: The vacation for your pet! We offer around-the-clock care for your furry friends in the comfort of our home, where they’re treated as part of our family. Our three daughters adore pets and have been taught to read their cues, ensuring a respectful and fun environment. Our spacious home is perfect for personalized one-on-one time, and we will go the extra mile to cater to your pet’s unique needs. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving hands while you’re away! With my husband and I on rotating schedules, your pet will receive constant attention and affection, since one of us is always home with the pets and the kids. If we are gone, it is for a short amount of time. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs and two friendly cats. Our cats have the basement to themselves where they have time away if they need it too.

“If I could give Crowe and Taylor a 100 out of 5, I absolutely would! These two went *above and beyond* in every way possible. Just a day before my flight, my senior pup had an emergency vet visit and was prescribed time-sensitive medications. I had to make last-minute changes to the care schedule, and they were not only incredibly understanding, but also immediately adjusted everything without hesitation—which was such a huge relief during an already stressful time. They cared for my dogs with so much love and attention. They followed every instruction to the letter, kept my home spotless, and even cleaned up after my dogs (one of whom had tummy troubles all weekend). I came back to happy pups and a clean home, which says everything about the level of care they provided. Crowe and Taylor are kind, respectful, responsible, and truly passionate about what they do. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to rebook them for future trips. Highly, *highly* recommended!”


“Great with our puppies! Alway played with them and even cleaned up a few messes. When some of our packages were delivered earlier than what we had thought, she brought them in. My dogs loved playing fetch. She was awesome”


“Nicole is fantastic. She made sure our fur balls are well taken care of. We've received cute pictures and videos every day so we could see how happy the doggies are with their sitter ? definitely going to be a repeat customer”


About: Hello! I’m Rebecca, and with 15 years of personal pet care and about 10 years of professional experience, I’ve developed a serious soft spot for all creatures—whether they’re big, small, feathery, scaly, or furry! I’ve completed both online and in-person courses in dog training and behavior, and I even know CPR and how to spot medical issues to ensure your fur baby has a fabulous and safe stay. I live in a spacious rambler with a large fully fenced backyard perfect for potty breaks and playtime. There’s also a fantastic park with a trail right next door, ideal for burning off that extra energy! I take dogs out every hour while I’m home and come back every 2 to 3 hours while I’m away. Plus, I offer two walks per day, weather and schedule permitting. If your dog is staying with me over the weekend, they’ll likely get a trip to the dog park or some easy, dog-friendly hiking trails. My extremely playful and friendly Mastiff/Chow mix loves to socialize and is great for added playtime and exercise, as well as two energetic kids, ages 7 and 11, who adore animals and are always up for a game! Your dog will have no shortage of cuddles and fun! I’m also more than happy to care for other pets, including reptiles and small mammals. I look forward to meeting you and your adorable companions soon! I hold a full-time position with a high degree of flexibility, allowing me to work remotely or periodically return home to attend to matters as needed, as I only work 5 mins away. I offer a securely fenced yard where your dogs can frolic and play to their heart’s content. Additionally, I have cameras both inside and outside the home, ensuring that even when I need to step away, I can keep a watchful eye on your furry friends.

“Miss Hettie did a terrific job caring for our two kitty cats! Very happy we were able to book her. She went over and above what was expected. So grateful for her outstanding service. We know who we'll call on next time we go on another trip. Thank you, Hettie!”


“Lyric was great! We booked last minute and she was able to come meet the dogs and cats the same day we booked. She was flexible and dependable! We will definitely be using her again next time we need a Rover!”


“Thanks for taking care of tater. I tried to pay you for the Sunday morning visit but it would only let me tip 30% When it gets closer to our trip in September I will book with you again and leave cash on the counter. Thank you Shari”


About: I’ve always loved helping and working with dogs there was always a family dog. I have experience with training both large and small dogs. I can always help with minor things like sit and potty and kennel training. ive also had experience with puppy’s adult and senior dogs. Including special meals. I also have extra kennels all various sizes so no need to bring your own just bring a bed or blanket or toy ( something that smells like home) and your set everything is sanitized and washed between every dog. My family is usually very active so I’m usually up a little early around 8am i take the dogs to go potty and play around for a bit (15 ish 20 min) then they are fed (if that’s what the dog is use to ) and are out in there kennel to help digest after that they get to roam around and get out out to go potty every 2 hours or so. They then get to go to a park that we have in our neighborhood to play fetch. After that i drive over to pick up the kids and i usually bring our dogs with when i get home it’s sports games or walks to go to then 2ed meal potty and ready for bed they get a lot of play time both indoors and outdoors where always trying to enrich the way they eat or even have them “work” for there food I have two dogs a small dog and a medium-large dog. Your dog will never be lonely. My dogs are completely kennel and basic obidence trained therefore they can be kenneled if needed or if you would like your dog not to interact with our dogs that is alright too. I have a fully fenced yard with multiple parks including a sport dog park near me. My home is big enough to be able to separate the dogs while each dog still having more than enough room to roam around and explore. I also provide kennels that are washed and disinfected between each boarding various sizes so no need to to bring your own. Just something that smells like home to help them with their stay.

Syracuse pet parents share their Rover experiences
After my sister moved away, we were pretty stressed about who would watch our cat when we went out of town. Especially because she has a lot of health problems and medication needs. Hayley was able to administer her meds no problem and sent us detailed updates and photos that helped ease our mind while on vacation. We will definitely be using her again! She was quick to respond, professional, and it’s obvious she has a lot of experience.

Franie was seriously amazing! Very friendly and worked very well with our Bailey when we went out of town. She did such an amazing job and seriously made us not have to worry about anything because of the amazing job she did. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking on Rover. We for sure will rebook with her in the future. Best experience we have had using Rover.

Kimmie gave me peace of mind that my fur baby would be well taken care of. She sent photos of each visit showing a happy kitty. This is the first time I have used a pet sitting service and I will definitely be using her again in the future if the need arises.
