Christine and Matt were great! My dog seemed to fit in perfectly with their two pups and they gave me daily updates! I would definitely recommend.... Look forward to using them again.

About: I'm an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter that has a passion for dogs and rescuing them. I have been involved in dog rescue and fostering in the Syracuse area for a number of years. I've cared for a number of my own dogs and cats from young to seniors. I've also been a foster parent to a number of dogs when rescues needed someone. I can handle the most challenging of dogs down to little babies and everything in between. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention when I'm around! I give all dogs the same love and affection I would give my own dog and see the importance of cuddle and buddy time along with good exercise. I show confidence when I'm with a dog so that they know there is trust with me from the beginning. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I am always available after 3:00 p.m. during the week, before 8:00 a.m. or anytime on the weekends. I've got a very pet friendly home. I live in a single story, ranch house that has a fully fenced back yard. I do not have children at home that we would need to worry about and I'm very respectful if needed to go into a client's home. Safety and security are always at the forefront.

Joan and both her son and daughter took SUCH good care of Duke while with them! Duke has a few “difficult “ qualities like not being friendly to other dogs and sometimes barking at people. They treated him like their own and I cannot thank them enough. This was his first time with them and I would absolutely rebook.

Mary was the perfect match for our elderly dog: she is patient and caring. Mary has her home and yard set up for every dog's optimal comfort, which we especially appreciated since our dog has arthritis. Ella, our 15 year-old papillon, loved her!

Huijun and her husband took excellent care of my boys, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept me updated every single day by sending videos and messages, letting me know when they had dinner and when they were settled in for the night. It gave me so much peace of mind to see how comfortable and well cared for they were. In one of the videos, I saw her giving one of my boys cuddles, and he was clearly loving the attention, which meant a lot to me. I had sent them with a full bag of their belongings, and everything was returned exactly as I left it, which I really appreciated. On top of that, my flight ended up being delayed, and they were incredibly understanding and accommodating with the change in timing. Their flexibility and kindness truly stood out. Overall, I was extremely happy with the level of care and attention my boys received. I would absolutely trust them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet care.

I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care our dog received during our wedding. The sitter did a fabulous job! Not only did they provide a safe and comfortable environment for our pup, but they also kept us updated frequently with pictures and messages. It really helped ease our minds on such an important day. Highly recommend for anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their furry friends

This was our first experience using Rover and Irina. She is a sweetheart and clearly loves dogs! She was very accomodating and I think my dog was very comfortable there. I got pictures and updates to make me feel better about being gone and having my dog at a sitter. There was other dogs there as well and they all got along just fine! I would definitely use her again!

We had a wonderful experience leaving Jerry and Lolita with Nina, and we couldn't be happier with the care they received. Nina was incredibly responsive, making communication a breeze, and we felt completely secure leaving our dogs in her hands knowing they were safe and well-cared for. A huge highlight was her dog, Ramsey—Jerry and Lolita absolutely loved playing with him, and it was fantastic socialization for them. We will absolutely be booking with Nina again in the future and highly recommend her and Ramsey to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!
