“If you want real peace of mind, Adriana is the one for you. I am a massive worry wart, and had never been away from my dog overnight before. To say I was concerned about leaving him is an understatement. Adriana knew this and provided the exact type of service I was hoping for. She treated my boy like he was her own. Followed all of my instructions to a tee, and sent me so many great pictures. She was always on time, and even took it upon herself to clean up a cut he has that breaks open occasionally. She went above and beyond and I personally will be very bummed if she’s not available when I need her in the future. She’s that good! I don’t want to have to use anyone else besides her and I know my dog Chase would echo that sentiment. When you love your pet as much as I do (if you’re reading this, you must) knowing you have someone like Adriana looking after them is the ultimate peace of mind. Thank you again Adriana!!”

About: Dogs have always been part of my life, I truly can’t imagine a home without one! I’m the proud owner of a four-year-old poodle mix and have spent years training, walking, and learning everything I can from our amazing certified trainer to give her the best life possible. I’ve put so much care, time, and energy into understanding dog behavior, and it’s made me even more passionate about helping other pet parents feel at ease when they’re away. I’m self-employed, which means I have great flexibility in my schedule and can easily accommodate drop-in visits or walks throughout the day. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy, a quick potty break, or just some company and affection while you’re out, I’ll treat them like my own. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences so they feel at ease in my care. I’ll follow any instructions you share (feeding, water, meds, etc.) and always send updates and photos so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away.

So I am finding myself with extra time and loads of affection to share. Whether it's caring for your dogs or cats, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. From feeding and playtime to walks and cuddles; I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved and cared for while you're away. Feel free to reach out to discuss your pet care needs or if you’d like any additional information. Thank you for your consideration, Kristi V. I do work full time but have some flexibly with my schedule. I work at SU and live in East Syracuse. I'm free on the weekends and evenings. Safety and wellness for all animals is a priority to me. I'll make certain your pets are cared for and showered with affection. I know what's is like to worry when you're away from your fur baby.
“Jamie was great. I know our little girl appreciated getting some love and attention while we were away. Would use her again in a heartbeat. Our girl can sometimes be a little beastly, and you can tell Jamie reads cat signals well.”

“Ali and Rob are fantastic! I always feel so comfortable knowing they are watching over my cat while I’m away. Ali and Rob are exceptional and they go above and beyond. I highly recommend them :)”

“Kaylah was wonderful with our Great Dane during our day trip. She was very accommodating and eager to enjoy her time with our big baby. She sent updates and wonderful pictures. At no point were we not confident that Ellie was in great hands.”

“Cori & Jamie were wonderful. My first time using Rover and was quite worried. They kept my pets schedule and instructions on care and feedings. My cat even came out of hiding for some lovin'. I'd definitely recommend them and will be requesting them for future needs.”

“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.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with three schnauzers and have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds. From pups to senior dogs, shy pups like Luna, playful rescues like Moose, and spunky dogs like Pippa, I have loved getting to know them all. I have experience with feeding, administering medications, and maintaining consistent daily routines. My patient and attentive approach helps me connect with all types of dogs. I love giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and walks; one wag at a time 🐾 As a recent college graduate, I have a remote job that gives me the flexibility to work from home. I can take dogs on walks during my breaks or stay with them at home. I am available during the weekdays and weekends to ensure your dog has consistent attention, companionship, and care whenever you need it. Every dog I care for becomes part of my family. I provide walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, making sure they have a safe, comfortable space to relax. I follow their usual routines, whether that’s lounging on their couch, resting in their crate, or engaging in activities. I’m happy to help with anything that makes them feel most at home, including discussing any medication needs in advance to ensure their care is safe and consistent.
“Sarah was amazing with Ramsey and I would absolutely book with her again. She sent notes and pictures every day and spent lots of time playing and walking him. She was even able to stop in for an extra day when I had a travel emergency last minute. I came home to a well loved and happy puppy!”

“Naomi is our “go-to” caregiver for our cats, she goes above and beyond to make sure they’re taken care of and we can relax while we’re away knowing that she’s always quick to communicate, she’s reliable, trustworthy and clearly cares about our pets.”

“Karlie was amazing, she made us feel so comfortable leaving our girl with her to watch while we were away. She was very informative and communicated well with us and sent plenty of photos for us to enjoy while we were away. I definitely would book her again in the future. Thanks Karlie :)”

“Kilie was great to work with, very responsive, and send lots of pictures and updates so you don't worry about your babies while your away. Very knowledgeable about cats and took great care of our kiteens. I'd absolutely recommend to anyone.”

I was nervous about leaving my cats in the care of a stranger but Alison was great. She sent a summary and a ton of photos everytime she dropped by and was quick to communicate and she even got one of my shy girls to come out. Alison will be in my regular line up moving forward

Shaz was absolutely amazing! I love how she had no problem feeding my ferals for me as well as my 4 kitties who are usually shy around strangers. The photos she sent made me feel at ease seeing my Miney-Moo enjoying some scratches and rubbing her face against whatever corner she could find. I loved seeing my Nala girl having fun and playing in the pics. My kitties looked so relaxed and content. Dante looked so cute chilling by her feet. I felt bad when I forgot to mention that Dante wheezes when he's mad. Shaz was super concerned which I appreciated her checking in and alerting me :)

We booked Kailyn for a week of in-home visits for our 2 dogs. She was amazing at sending daily photos and even used some doggie psychology to make sure one of our pups took her thyroid pill each day! They were both well cared for and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We will definitely be booking her again!

Had a really smooth experience with Sierra while she checked in on my cat over the weekend! She was very patient while I worked through the new app, and super communicative and accommodating. My cat is super shy, but she managed to get her to hang out for a bit :) very prompt with updates too and was always punctual! Would love to have her visit my cat again when we are away!

Sarah was amazing with Ramsey and I would absolutely book with her again. She sent notes and pictures every day and spent lots of time playing and walking him. She was even able to stop in for an extra day when I had a travel emergency last minute. I came home to a well loved and happy puppy!

Cori and Jamie took good care of my kitty while I was away and I was able to have peace of mind while I was away from home, knowing that I could count on them. They were very attentive to her needs and spent time with her so she didn’t feel alone. They were great at communicating with me at all times. They even watered my outside potted plants so I didn’t come home to dead flowers. Will definitely book again!
