“Thanks for taking such good care of our Allie! She was in such good spirits when we came home! Jamie did an excellent job of checking in with pictures and updates. Our black lab Allie was happy spending time with Jamie during her stop-ins. She even brought our mail and packages in which was greatly appreciated.”

“Amanda was awesome & took good care of my bunny Scottie! She was very thoughtful in updating me and I could tell my Scottie had come to trust her over the week of her drop in visits.”

“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!”

“Adriana was a huge help to me in a last minute request. She was great with the pets and it was clear they were comfortable with her from the pics she sent me. Thanks so much!”

“Alison and Robert did such an amazing job with my cat and gecko! They left long reviews of their visits and made me feel better about being away from my fur & not fur babies. They even stayed longer than I had them booked to give my cat extra pets and love. Def booking them again.”

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and love all types of animals. I currently have an adorable pet bunny of my own. I'm comfortable pet-sitting and checking in on all types of pets. If you need a regular dog walker in or around the Westcott neighborhood, please let me know! My schedule is currently quite open as I'm pursuing an art career, work from home most of the time, and determine my own hours. Except for Mon-Thu 2:30pm-6pm, I work at an after-school arts program.

I know that every pet is different. Each individual has different preferences for activity level, types of activity, different dietary needs, and so on. I will your pet as an individual- let me know what they need and I will do my best to accommodate
“Amazing pet sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my baby. I got regular updates and could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”

“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 :)”

“Cori and Jamie are absolute professionals at their job and took the welfare of our pets as seriously as we do. Their communication was impressive to say the least giving us daily updates on our pets and checking on our home during a major storm. Their dedication gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend their services!”

“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.”

“Kaylah has been really attentive with Mylo and does what I ask of her to do in terms of taking care of our pup Mylo. She gives me updates after every visit, which I appreciate so much! Thanks so much for all your help this summer Kaylah! :)”

“Amanda was great! She spent plenty of time with our kitties, made time to meet them before hand, and made sure all of their needs were accounted for while we were away. Can't thank her enough!!”

“Alyssa is doing a wonderful job with my anxious chihuahua! She has been so accommodating and has been willing to go slow to help him adjust. He usually takes many repeat introductions before he is ok with anyone new, but he absolutely adored her starting from the very first visit!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was a child. Dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds - you name it. I’ve always been an animal lover and even wanted to be a veterinarian until I found out was euthanasia is. In my adolescence, I began pet sitting and volunteering with the SPCA (where we adopted all of our pets); small and big dogs, and sometimes multiple at a time. I started to experiment with training and enjoyed teaching tricks and obedience commands. When I turned 19, I inherited my family dog, Rocco, and we became best friends. My favorite memories from those years are taking him to parks and reserves across New York State. In 2025, he got sick and I learned a lot from taking care of him through the end of his life. It was important to me that he felt like a happy, special dog during his last days because he filled my life with so much joy. The day before his euthanasia, I invited everyone who knew him to celebrate his life. He was showered in presents and treats and cuddles and surrounded by humans he loved. Animals share such unique bonds with us. Now, I am looking for opportunities to share my love of animals through Rover. I hope you consider me as your next pet sitter. I am available! My best times are evenings and weekends, with sporadic availability midday during the week. I work 8-4 Monday through Thursday at a local farm collective in Kirkville and a community garden in South Syracuse. In my free time, I enjoy making art in all kinds of media and being outside. I am looking to spend my time with animals and make their lives happy and bright! Trust and safety is my utmost priority. Through many years of being around different animals, I learned the important of an initial bond based in trust and respect. I hold myself with strength and create an energy of a safe and inviting environment. I am able to gauge an animal’s personality and demeanor, and adjust accordingly. For pets that love to play, I am always happy to bring out my goofy and fun-loving side. For more reserved companions, I enjoy taking things slow and doing calmer activities. Most of all, a pet’s joy and comfort is my number one goal!

Adriana is amazing! At the last minute, we needed a dog sitter and she came to our rescue! She took amazing care of our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our pups were happy and comfortable, and Adriana is always so communicative. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again

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!

Hannah has been super with our 2 dachshunds and 3 cats. She has been pet sitting for a couple of years with daily visits along with overnight stays when we’ve gone out of town. One of our dachshunds is very timid and guarded but warmed up to her very quickly. She even visited one day when the other dachshund chewed through the water line to a toilet and flooded the bathroom. She turned off the water and then sent us videos of what happened. Could have been so much worse if it weren’t for Hannah. We highly recommend Hannah for your pet sitting needs.
