Dog Boarding in University Hill, Syracuse, NY

“Wonderful experience with Zuhal! She is so sweet, and so good with cats. Communication was great, and we appreciated her flexibility when we were able to extend dates. We really just felt so comfortable working with her and knowing our cat was safe and happy. Strongly recommend.”

“Britany was amazing with our boy Theo on the 2 nights he stayed with her! She updated us with pictures constantly and that made us feel very comfortable! Even with the size difference, Theo made a good friend in Ozzy, so they played for hours together. I can’t recommend her enough and will most definitely book Theo to stay with her and her family again!”

“My dogs had a fantastic time with Mary. She was very attentive and communicated frequently. My pups enjoyed playing with her corgis and had a great time hanging out in the yard.”

“Amber was really great with our Dixie. We received so many photos of our girl and updates throughout the day. When we went to pick her up, she was nice and cozy tucked in in the dog bed. She looked so happy. Thank you.”

“We can't say enough good things about Georgianne. We were in a tight spot needing a couple days of care for our senior dog on about four hours' notice. Georgianne responded right away to our messages and wasn't fazed to hear that Cooper was under the weather and on some medicine. She is an obvious animal lover, provided wonderful care and company for Cooper, and sent pics of him relaxing each day. THANK YOU GEORGIANNE.”

“Donna was wonderful!! She sent pictures and took care of my dog as if he was her own …., her prices are reasonable too and I am looking forward to my next trip because I will have no worries about my baby. I feel like I made a friend as well…..”

“To all pet parents considering Katherine Z. for pet sitting or dog walking: I cannot recommend her enough. Not only did she graduate from the esteemed Cornell Veterinary School, but her professional demeanor and meticulous attention to detail ensure that every pet is given the utmost care. I’ve personally witnessed Katherine care for animals, and her dedication to their well-being is unparalleled. With her veterinary background, you can be confident that your beloved pets are in the safest, most knowledgeable hands. Katherine doesn’t just see this as a job; she genuinely loves and understands animals. Trusting her with your pets is one of the best decisions you can make.”

“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.”

“Ashley is amazing. Zero really enjoyed his time with her and her family. He warmed right up to her and dhe made him feel at home. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Vanessa sent me pictures of my dog playing with the other dogs, and kept me updated all throughout the time we were gone. We’re really happy with the care she provided.”

About: I'm a self-employed writer, editor and newsletter author. I grew up with dogs, have owned several dogs, and have cared for other people's dogs since my beagle, Bailey, crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2021. I missed her so much I started offering dog/house sitting services. Dogs are such great company and I know how important it is to have peace of mind about their care when you’re away. I take pride in personal, hands-on pet care. I have the ability to work from home most days, so I will have plenty of time to walk, play and snuggle with your dog. If I'm staying in your home and pet/house sitting, I bring my computer and work with me, so I will be with your dog as much as possible. I prefer to host/care for dogs that are crate trained and come with a crate. I have a partially fenced yard. I expect that I will walk your dog several times a day and only take your dog in our yard on a leash or lead and with supervision. At your home, I will maintain your dog's schedule and routines.

“Amazing host! Will use everytime i leave town. Very easy to commuicate with. Love tbe daily pics and updates! You can rest easy on your vacation knowing your pets are safe and comfortable! Thanks for watching Roux-Barb!”

“Joan and Duncan were great. They have a lovely home on a quiet street, were very responsive and thoughtful. Oakey enjoyed his time there and I felt comfortable with them taking care of him.”

“Kathleen was the absolute best, I needed a last minute dog sitter for the weekend and she saved the day. She took great care of my pups and their anxiety from just moving here and walked me through the entire process with daily photos and updates. Would 100% trust her with my dogs again.”

“So happy we found Ashley! We needed a sitter for our two dogs over the Christmas holiday, and we couldn’t be happier. Picture and video updates, and when I picked my two up they were happy as clams! If I could give her six stars I would. Thank you Ashley!”

“Amanda did a wonderful job watching our two pups while we were out of town. She met all their needs and gave them their pills while we were away. They were able to get plenty of exercise and love. She kept us updated and we felt comfortable the whole time that they were in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. 10/10 recommend and we will absolutely use her again!”

“Virinca is so incredible and my dog Duke absolutely loves her. She does such a great job and updates me every day on how he is doing. I feel so much more at ease when she is watching him. This was the second time Virinca has watched him and I’m already planning the next one!”

“Where do I start? Eden is an animal lover like few I have know. She is thoughtful, kind, caring and 110% responsible in all aspects of life. As a child she watched my boy Bruiser ( the original goldendoodles) She is an EMT, works for Rosamand Gifford Zoo, Stack veterinary, and is a biology major at Syracuse University. I would trust her with my fat bulldog Tater more than anyone I know. Someone this kind , this thoughtful , this caring, and this responsible, is rare. She is one in a million Feel free to contact me at any time. Robert C, Kane III Ithaca, NY”

“Absolutely 5 stars. When we did a meet and greet, it was obvious my baby Aries had some manners to learn. Ria was patient, kind and confident in being able to care for my Aries, and the pictures they shared throughout had my jaw on the floor! My girlie who barks at everything was out walking. Amazing talent and heart. Would recommend, and 100% will be without hesitation returning to Ria when we need boarding for our girl.”

“Suanny is a very animal lover , she really take a good care of them like they her owns kids , I really recommend her to take care of your love ones.”
