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.

“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!”

“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: Hello! I am a responsible and caring pet owner based in East Syracuse with lots of love to share. My only child has has flown south away from winter for college. 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.

About: My husband and I own our home in the Sedgwick neighborhood, which has a fenced-in backyard and lots of safe space for long walks and playtime. We do not own a dog at the moment, so we have plenty of energy and love to go around! We also have years of experience caring for our dogs and sitting for friends who own dogs in a wide range of sizes and breeds. I pride myself on how well dogs listen to me when I try to train them to listen and maybe try a trick or two to keep their minds engaged and give them an enriching daily life. Please consider hiring us; your furry friends will be safe in very loving and nurturing hands. We both work less than 15 minutes away from home (Mon-Fri, 830-4) with full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. Because of our sedentary work lives, we try to stay active when we're not working with lots of walks and time outside. Owning our own home with a fenced-in yard allows us to give dogs of any size the room to explore and rest wherever they feel comfortable. We are attentive and LOVE the energy that a dog brings to our home. Having a pet around makes all the difference, especially when we can tell that they feel safe and enriched with play and comfort every day. Pet sitting is a win-win-win for us, your pet, and you!

About: Schedule-Monday through Friday 6-2:30 I work and weekends off 🫠😁Animals have always been a part of my life growing up. Some of my family has a farm which I got to experience and learn from. I would walk a dog named Molly. She belonged to an older person who struggled with it. All 4 years of high school I was responsible for her grooming, as well as making sure she had plenty of extra love. I truly enjoyed the trust of this pet parent, and Molly that I gained from this time. I wish to continue that commitment now with the pet parents I will be able to meet on here. I truly hope to get the chance to gain your, and your pets trust by reaching there needs. -Christian Rosario My week is surrounded around taking care of my own home and animals. I have flexible hours with my job. If I am unable to be home my girlfriend is there all through the week. She only works weekends as a traveling vet assistant. On those days I am home to reach our animals and your pets needs. They will always be given attention and love. I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs of my own who are trained and help me train other dogs. Both are working emotional support dogs, as we understand they need a purpose to feel a part of the pack. Our house is big enough that no animals have to be together at any point. If this makes pet owners more comfortable and would like there pets separated to enjoy some alone time.

“Kristin is very prompt in her responses and visits. She takes the time to communicate pet’s needs and maximizes the drop-in times to care for and entertain our pet!”

About: Pets aren’t just animals to me—they’re family! I’ve spent years working hands-on with dogs and cats through my holistic pet supply store, professional grooming services, and pet wellness work. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your four-legged family member. I’m experienced with pets of all personalities and love getting to know what makes each one special. Whether we’re out enjoying a walk, stopping in for some one-on-one attention, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I’ll treat your pet with the same care, patience, and love I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first! Pet care is already a big part of my weekly routine! I spend my days surrounded by dogs and cats through my pet business, grooming, nutrition, and wellness work. I’m excited to add walks and drop-in visits to my schedule, giving local pets extra exercise, companionship, attention, and care throughout the week. When I care for your pet in your home, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment. I follow your routines and instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and companionship, and make sure your pet has everything they need before I leave. I’ll also keep you updated so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, experienced hands.

“Marie was great with our girl. Tended to her very special needs, we couldn’t be more pleased to have someone so sweet take care of our pup while we were away.”

“My dog Piper is a small mixed terrier that has some separation anxiety and can be very nervous. Ginnie came out to greet us and showed us around the yard. She was great communicating with myself and Piper. Piper came home very relaxed and happy. I would definitely send Piper again and highly recommend her.”
