“Maya was wonderful! Sent me videos and photo updates multiple times a day and took such good care of Saco. And was flexible when I asked for one more night of coverage at the last minute! Will definitely be working with her again if she’ll have me :)”

“I had to board Gemma for a day while in Syracuse for a meeting. Lateef was wonderful with her. He also took the time to send me pictures and updates so I could feel comfortable leaving her with a pet sitter far way from home. I am very happy with Lateef”

“Stacey gave wonderful care to my dog Sally. She kept me informed on what Sally was doing, and sent multiple pictures each day. Some videos were also sent. I could tell that Sally was happy and content in her home from the pictures and videos. Stacey gave Sally special treats per my instructions, and sent home her food/water dishes and treat dispensers all washed ! She and her family gave Sally a lot of love and attention, which was much appreciated by both Sally and myself.”

“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 know how important it is to find great care for your animals while you travel. I strive to provide a home away from home experience for your pup. My home is a peaceful haven for pups, where naps and playtime are abundant. I have a small fenced in yard we go out in frequently as I work from home. I have 2 friendly small pups, Minnie and Cooper. They love to meet new friends. I want to hear about your pups current schedule so I can closely match it. I build my routines around the needs of my dogs and yours. Dogs with mobility issues will find my home easy to navigate, as my apartment is on the ground floor with no stairs. For smaller dogs, I have furniture they can use to reach the bed or couch, if thats a place you allow them to go.
“Erix was awesome. It was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone he is unfamiliar with but Erix made him feel right at home. He is very privy, prompt, send pics and updates. Will definitely recommend and use his services moving forward.”

“Yakelin is a miracle worker! She was not only available last minute, but was expertly qualified to handle our 2 husky puppies! The most impressive part is that they came back even more well behaved than when we dropped them off! I wish I could leave 100 stars!!!”

“It appears Nicholas enjoyed his time with Mary too much! He has been moping around the house getting used to a home without more people and pets. It was great receiving daily pictures and the care couldn’t have been more loving. I will definitely try to book with Mary whenever I travel in the future.”

“Irina was fabulous!! This was only the third time we've ever left Smitty and the first time he wasn't with family. With her amazing attitude and attention, he thrived! Smitty had a great time with Irina and their dog, and we knew he would from the moment we dropped him off. We were nervous to leave him, but it was so clear he was in good times. Next time we're traveling without our pup, we'll definitely bring him back to Irina's!”

“Absolutely love Marisol! She’s sweet, caring, nurturing, and holds a safe space for our puppy. Zero complaints about her service and will continue to book her as much as we can.”


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.
“They were great with our dog, "Mr. B" who is particular about who he likes. They kept regularly updated with pictures and notes about what he had been up to. Highly recommend them!”

“Eden was a wonderful sitter for Micah. She gave me all kinds of updates and pictures over the weekend. Great communication. Micah looked like she was having a great time. Thanks again Eden!”

“Maypud was absolutely great. She kept me informed about Zeus and sent pictures and Zeus was able to play outside get water whenever he wanted. I would absolutely use her again when we go out of town. We can tell that Zeus had a great time.”

“Deborah tool such good care of our Henry and was very patient with him and took the time to understand his needs. He seemed to have so much fun. We booked last minute and she was so accommodating. Very appreciative to have a worry free few days away knowing he was in good hands.”

Caitlyn was the PERFECT caretaker for our dog Izzy. We didn’t need to worry our entire trip because we knew she was receiving the best care. Our dog needed the one on one and Caitlyn was so accommodating. She communicated every day and sent pictures too. We will be using her again!!

Can’t say nothing but amazing things. Emily made me feel like I was there with my dog. From the start her communication really helped this experience an easy one. From the photos everyday down to the checkin In, Emily genuinely has a love for animals. Bailey loved every moment of her boarding. Emily has a passion for Animals and will help u feel confident and comfortable leaving ur dog in her care. Nothing but love and kindness.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of Scotch while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos—they made me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands. It means a lot to know he was well looked after, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Thanks again for everything!

Dayna was a god send when my sister was going into labor and I needed a sitter same day, with only a couple hours notice. She also allowed me to extend the stay on notice. She was beyond flexible and accommodating. My girl Nova had a great time and was well taken care of. Dayna, made sure to ask about any specific needs Nova had proving how caring and responsible she is. I also received serval photos and videos of Nova during her stay. I could not recommend her highly enough.
