“Meghan was awesome, she took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay, she's also a great photographer so you'd get nice shots of your pets, a 100% recommended.”

“Polina took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were on an extended vacation. She sent us photos periodically which was greatly appreciated. She contacted us regarding one of the dogs having redness in one eye and asked what we wanted her to do. We suggested eyedrops, she administered them and all was fine. You could tell she truly loves dogs and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Christine and Matthew are wonderful! Great communication and very accommodating. Ollie is always a little nervous when I first leave him somewhere new, but he couldn’t have been more happy and calm when I picked him up. Will definitely try to book with them again in the future. Highly recommend”

“Sam is an incredible sitter! She was welcoming during the meet and greet in her back yard and allotted ample time for Carmella to become familiar with the outdoor space and one of her dogs. Carmella was set up with her own cozy room but preferred to be more social. Sam also created a photo album where she uploaded videos and pictures daily so I could see how Carmella was getting along. Sam knew Carmella had a recent birthday and let her pick out a new toy, which is so kind and thoughtful. She creates an environment where dogs can relax independently or with other dogs/people as the dog chooses. She caters to the dogs in a way that would make any human jealous in the best way. I'm definitely happy to have found Sam and will absolutely be reaching out to her for future stays.”

“Erix was amazing! Super friendly and professional. He took great care of my boy Glacier and sent pictures and videos to keep me updated on how things were going. I definitely recommend him if you're looking for a sitter for your fur babies! Thank you again Erix for everything! You made everything feel safe and smooth caring for my boy.”

“Irina did a very good job with our seventh month old max. She was very understanding when we showed up late due to his car sickness problems. She sent pictures and videos everyday. We were very happy to know that Max got some play time with her dogs and other rover visitors he loved that. He was even sad this morning looking for other dogs when we got home. She was very kind and understanding. She even left a thank you note and a cute note from max to his parents. We will drfinately be using her again if we go out Of town. Thank you irina and thank you for not having to have us lock him in a kennel boarding for a week. ”


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.
“Jeanne was amazing! We needed to go out of town for the weekend and were nervous about leaving our dog with someone since we’ve only had her for about a month. Jeanne was so kind and asked us to have our dog meet her dog first so we could see if it was a good fit. This was reassuring to us, rather than folks who accepted right away. Jeanne kept us informed and sent updates throughout the weekend. We are definitely going to reach out again if we’re in need of a sitter”


“Chelsea was absolutely amazing with Auggy! She took such great care of him and truly treated him like her own. We loved all the detailed updates and photos she sent — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she spent lots of time playing with him and making sure he felt loved and comfortable.”

“During the booking process, Alyssa asked really thoughtful questions and prompt responses to ensure her home would be a good fit for our dog. She was then very patient and responsive to our dog through some heightened anxiety while he adjusted to being away from us. She provided everything he needed (calm presence, solid walks) and communicated clearly with pictures and updates about how he was settling in during his stay. I would trust her with our dog again and highly recommend!”


“Ginnie watched our puppy Woody for a full weekend. We were very confident after meeting her that he would be in great hands and we were right. I would not hesitate to use her services again!”

“Roscoe is a rescue dog that we adopted in May this year. We were very concerned to be leaving for a vacation just 2 months later. He is such a great dog & we didn't want for him to think we were abandoning him. As soon as we met Sherri we were sure we had an answer to our prayers. We could not have found a better place for Roscoe to be. He had a wonderful week at Sherri's. We received many updates & pictures on how he was doing & never for a minute worried about him because it was obvious how much fun he was having. We enjoyed our vacation guilt free because we knew Roscoe was getting as much love & attention as we give him. Our only concern was that he might not want to come home because he had so much fun with Sherri's fur babies. ? We will be back Sherri!”

“Our dog Moose was really happy and had a great stay for 3 days. Kristin was in touch the whole time and made everything smooth and easy for pick-up and drop-off. Excellent experience. Highly Recommended!”

About: Hi there! I’ve been dedicated to working with animals since I was 16, earning my Veterinary Technician license while in high school in Texas. Over the years, my deep interest in canine behavior led me to manage dog daycares and boarding facilities, as well as shadow experienced dog trainers. When I’m not caring for pets, you can usually find me immersed in my favorite hobby-handling and competing with dogs in conformation shows! With my veterinary background, I bring both clinical confidence and behavioral understanding to every visit. I am completely comfortable administering oral or injectable medications, following precise routines, and managing special needs. Having personally cared for an epileptic dog, I am well-versed in seizure protocols and know how to keep pups calm, safe, and supported. I work full-time during the week but am available to care for your dog from Saturday through Monday. Weekends typically involve nature hikes on various trails, allowing all the dogs to explore new scents and enjoy the outdoors. My dogs are my weekend companions, and your pup will become part of our pack on these adventures. I'm passionate about providing dogs with enriching experiences, and I'm confident your dog will have a fun and fulfilling time with us. I don't have a fenced-in yard, but we do monitor the dogs carefully when they are outside. Depending on the dog, we would either walk them on a leash or allow them to explore under close supervision. We have a crate available if needed, but you are more than welcome to bring your dog's own crate if they feel more comfortable in it. Dogs are welcome on furniture, beds, and throughout the house. Our home is completely dog-friendly.
“Roro loved her “vacation” at Teresa’s home! Teresa is very responsive and flexible. Both me and Roro had a great experience with the service. I will definitely rebook in the future if needed.”

“Angela was fantastic! She loved my dog Maggie as if she were her own. She sent pictures daily. Maggie made herself right at home, and definitely enjoyed her time with Angela!”

This was our second time leaving our Monchichi with Kelsey, and for a longer time. He truly loves being with her and all the activities he had during his 3 night stay! We love how she takes such good care of him and you can tell she really enjoys what she does. He came back home happy and we know he enjoyed his time with her. It’s also great that she sent us regular updates and pictures and videos of him. We will definitely only have Kelsey watch him and we highly recommend her high level of service!

Ashley was amazing with Coal! She went above and beyond from the moment of drop-off, taking plenty of time to learn his mannerisms and make him feel comfortable. She kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me great peace of mind. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone!
