Pet Sitting University

“The care and detailed information about how our cat was doing. Jamie takes the time and care to get to know our cat making her more comfortable while away. Thank you!”

“Adriana was great! We came in from out of town for our son’s graduation and had to leave our nervous chihuahua in his apartment. Adriana took all of peppers cues and by the end of the day pepper asked to be pet! Pepper does NOT let anyone new touch her so this was a testament to how comfortable she felt with Adriana! Wish we lived closer so we could use her all the time. Highly recommend!”

“Isabella was great at caring for Addy and making her feel attended to. She was very communicative of any issues that came up, minor though they were. I'm definitely pleased with the experience.”

“Alison and Robert were amazing! They did everything we asked in terms of taking care of our kitty and more. We loved the daily updates with pictures, which were great, and looked forward to them every day during our trip. Would definitely have them back again. We can tell William already misses their visits!”

“I'm so happy we chose Sophia to care for our kitties! She is communicative, responsible, and very caring when interacting with our pets. I appreciated the daily videos, photos, and updates she always provided. I will definitely use her again next time I am on vacation.”

“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”

“Brittany did an amazing job with my dogs and my cat during my weekend away! She was very communicative and sent lots of sweet photos. I highly recommend her, and will definitely ask her to watch my crew again!”

Rebekah W.

“Karlie is amazing! I felt so comfortable and confident that I was leaving my cat Cleo in excellent and caring hands. ☺️ She cared for Cleo so well, and the updates were so fun to get while I was out of town. Thank you!!!”

About: I have professional experience working with dogs in a daycare and boarding setting where I cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and care needs. I helped care for many dogs at a time, monitored their behavior and safety, handled feeding and medication, and fostered personal connections with each and every dog to establish trust and respect. I also have experience with basic humane training and disciplinary practices. Outside of work, my friends and family have always had lots of pets, including dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I've also fostered a number of dogs and done a lot of pet-sitting over the years. I'm patient, attentive, and happy to give pets plenty of playtime, attention, and love. I am currently a full time student at Syracuse University, but my classes only take place on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays after 12pm, so the rest of my time can be dedicated to your amazing pets! I am currently living in a pretty small apartment with one of my cats and two roommates so I do not offer any form of care at my residence. However I have my own very spacious car (2020 Honda CRV) which enables me not only to travel to you but also to safely and conveniently transport pets. Additionally, because I am a student at Syracuse University I have unique access to a lot of large and pet-friendly green spaces.

About: This past March, I brought home my own 10 week old puppy! I have cared for her and trained her in these past few months and she’s been great. Puppies are a handful but I would love to work with more! I’ve also walked/cared for multiple adults dogs of my neighbors and friends I currently work full time during the week so I’m looking to be available on weekends only. I have my own puppy to care for as well so I want to focus on her during the week and then feel I can find more openings to help others on the weekends At our home, it is not fenced in so the dog will be leashed the whole time. There is a public park directly in from of our house for the pup to sniff and walk/run around! It is also not fenced in so would keep them leashed at all times. Barry park is also nearby our house. For client houses, I would follow your lead on what harness/collar you deem best for your dog and the preferred type of leash. Would of course ensure they are on leash during the whole walk/outside time.

“Emily did a fantastic job! Lots of photos, the place was in great shape, great communication! Highly recommend!”

Jane P.

“Maggie was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my fur babies while we were on a family vacation. Will be rebooking and recommending her to friends and family! Please consider her!”

About: I've always loved working with animals, and my experience as an ASPCA intern has given me valuable hands-on experience caring for pets. I'm studying biology on the pre-vet track because my goal is to become a veterinarian, so I'm always eager to learn more about animal health and behavior. I have experience caring for cats that require daily medication and special diets, thanks to my own cat's kidney disease. I also enjoy training dogs using positive reinforcement and have taught my roommate's dog basic commands like "sit." I'm patient, reliable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. As a pre-vet biology student, pet care is an important part of my daily routine and aligns with my career goals. Every day, I make sure my cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention and playtime. Since she has kidney disease, I also administer her medication and closely monitor her eating habits, hydration, and overall health. Throughout the week, I keep up with grooming, cleaning her living space, and ensuring she stays comfortable and happy. Caring for my cat, along with my experience as an ASPCA intern, has strengthened my passion for animal care and taught me responsibility, consistency, and the importance of recognizing changes in an animal's health. I have no furry friends at the moment and I happen to live by a spacious park and can give them all the love needed. And I am close to a community clinic as well .

“Sarah came to meet Greta before our schedule drop-ins, and she immediately put this nervous dog-owner at ease -- didn't hurt that my pup immediately rolled over to let Sarah rub her belly! Dogs are a good judge of character. :) Sarah dropped in just when she said she would, sent photos from her visits, and I came home to a calm and happy dog.”
