“I left my almost 16 year old pug with Carrie and her husband while I traveled for 10 days to visit family. I know she was in great hands, she’s usually a little nervous at first but ran right up her steps when I got there as she’s been there before short term. Carrie sent me messages and pictures often enough. She got lots of outdoor time, was tended to her older age needs, and even got to sleep next to them as she’s used to it at home. I feel very lucky to have found her through Rover and I’d highly recommend her and her husband!”

“My little one had such a great experience with Polina. She was very kind and her family was welcoming. Throughout the stay, I was updated and sent photos. I will definitely work with her in future.”

“Danielle was so kind and took great care of Marcy over the weekend!! She was exhausted once we got home after lots of play time with Allie. I think she had lots of fun while in Danielle’s care! :)”

“The Huijun family provided excellent care for Snow. They kept me updated daily with photos and videos, maintained prompt and clear communication, and were very accommodating with drop-off and pickup times. Their flexibility made our travel experience much smoother. Definitely will choose them again. Highly recommend!”

“Rachel is awesome! Our dog had so much fun at her house and loved playing with her dogs. When we came to get him he wanted to stay with her family! We felt safe and comfortable and could enjoy our vacation knowing that he was in good hands.”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time and was well cared for the entire we were gone. Lindsay gave us daily updates and answers messages quickly. You can tell Lindsay has a passion for dogs and animals.”

“Donna took wonderful care of my senior dog with medical issues. She was understanding, and very communicative, sending updates 2-3 per day, with multiple pics daily. I could relax on a family trip knowing my pup was well cared for.”

“My dogs stayed with Bonnie for 2 nights. She was extremely responsive and took good care of my pups! She was also flexible with my changing itinerary. So grateful to have found her!”

“Maytte is a gem! We have two very shy dogs and weren’t sure how they would do staying with a new person. They loved her and warmed up to her at the meet and greet we set up. It made going away much easier. Maytte sent updates every day, with pictures and videos of the dogs. We could tell they were loved and well cared for. Maytte went above and beyond, buying them each a harness for walks and new toys. We’ve already booked her for our next trip.”


“We are so thankful Stephanie could watch Marcy for us especially on last minute notice! It’s always good when Marcy comes home tired from playing, and I can tell she had a great time playing with Stephanie’s dogs. Thank you!!”
“Jocelyn ha been amazing! She is very responsive and keeps me informed all the way thru each pet- sitting experience with photos and texts throughout the day. She is so loving with my girl and always takes such good care of her! Highly recommend!!”

“Roro loved her “vacation” at Teresa’s home! Teresa is very responsive and flexible. Both me and Roro had a great experience with the service. I will definitely rebook in the future if needed.”


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.
“Harper had another wonderful time with Tiffany & her dog Luigi! She was well-cared for & I was updated on how she was doing. Communication was, as always, easy & quick. We will definitely be back!”

“Thomas was amazing with our two pups. He's fully invested and cares so deeply about their well-being. We never had any reservations about their week long stay with him. His updates and pictures were so helpful. It put our minds at ease to know they were happy and well cared for while we were away.”

“Carrie did a wonderful job caring for my dog Rylee. She was very dependable and easy to communicate with. I felt comfortable having her in my home and I I would definitely use her again.”


“John has taken care of my cat twice now, and she feels very comfortable and relaxed with him. He is communicative, attentive, and always adapts to her little quirks and personality. I really appreciate how well he cares for her and would definitely recommend him!”

“Heather did a great job with her first assignment with 6 of my cats, who apparently adapted easily to my absence and her presence! She sent careful notes and an assortment of pictures for each visit, showing her happy customers playing and accepting affection, and everyone was pretty relaxed when we arrived home after 4 days away. I hope to book her again when we next need a pet sitter!”

“I recommend Kirsten unreservedly! Kirsten was amazing! My cat, Mabel, really liked Kirsten. When my return flights got cancelled and then delayed, Kirsten was able to add an additional visit and that relieved so much stress. Thank you, Kirsten, for your superb attention to Mabel and me!”

“Excellent! Super friendly, immediate and positive responses, very engaged, incredible with dogs. Even noticed a medical condition in my poodle and offered to help.

About: I love all animals big and small! I have a variety of experience. I grew up taking care of a Rottweiler and currently have a pit and two cats. I have worked in the past and consistently cared for a deaf and diabetic dog to include administering insulin. I have volunteered at shelters, fostered numerous dogs to include a deaf dog with seizures, interned at a wildlife rehab center for a year, and worked at the Philadelphia Zoo taking care of the goats yard. I worked for 3 years at VIP pet care holding the animals, administering shots , microchips, blood draws and supervising the clinics. I love hiking and anything outdoors so walking your pup would be great for both your pup and myself! 🙂 I’m currently working full time and another part time job so am currently only offering walking services to work around my busy schedule. My schedule varies each week. I have a fenced in yard with one dog and two cats. At this time I am only offering walking services and may consider in home care in the future.
“Amy's the best. So sweet and did a great job caring for our little Willy. She sent me several photos and was available last minute to take care of our little guy. He looks like he had a great time with Amy and I trust her to watch him any time. Thank you for all your help!”

“Stephanie is a joy sitting for our puppies, tonight when we dropped off the dogs were so excited to see her they jumped over the seats and ran out the front door barking, happy puppies. We highly recommend Stephanie for dog sitting, and will use your again in the future!”

“Our dogs were well cared for and tired out when we picked them up! Extra attention was given to special dietary instructions for one of them and pick up and drop off was efficient. We were glad to use them again and know they were in good hands!”

“Michelle is always incredible with our girl. Tofu comes home with the biggest smile on her face and always smells wonderful. I think “Miss Michelle” (what we call her to Tofu) must keep an incredibly tidy and lovely-smelling home :)”

“She was awesome! We were in town for the weekend, needed a sitter for Max for Saturday, and she was able to accommodate us. Will definitely go back when we come back to Syracruse! Max had fun and slept like a baby that night lol She was easy to reach by text, responded in an appropriate amount of time, and her property was away from the road, giving us piece of mind. Highly recommend.”

“Susan had been watching our dog, Ivy, since she was a puppy and I can’t say enough about how much love and care she has received. Susan treats Ivy like her very own and showers her with affection. Whether it’s for a day or a week’s stay, I highly recommend her!”

“Our dog Luna spent the time playing with Leanna's Boston terrier, and had a blast! We were grateful for trustworthy care while we photographed a local event. I would book with her again!”

“Krissy was absolutely terrific with our pup! Calm and caring, with regular updates throughout the day - and went above and beyond during a storm and power outage to make sure she was safe and cared for. We really appreciate her, and would highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Maytte, and caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a child. I grew up helping my father care for different kinds of animals on our family farm, which taught me patience, responsibility, and genuine love for pets. Your dog will be treated like a member of my own family. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and safe. I offer a clean, calm, and loving home where your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time. I also have two friendly dogs who are gentle and enjoy meeting new furry friends. If your dog prefers their own space, I can accommodate that as well. I will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervised care throughout the day. I offer boarding in my home and will do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also have two friendly dogs who enjoy meeting new friends, but if your dog prefers their own space, I can easily separate them. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any special needs. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Tofu got to spend time with Brent—booked last minute for a forgotten work meeting—and even went for a ride in the car! She came home safe, clean, and happy. We absolutely trust Brent with our girl!”

About: I have always had a way with animals. They seem able to feel the peace and caring in me so that aren’t afraid.I am personable and genuinely care for people and animals . I am 58 years old and have extra time to take care of your pet. I don’t work a full time job anymore so I am available mostly anytime I am needed If you need me to stay in your home to care for your pet, I am respectful of your house and everything within it. I own my house and know the anxiety of leaving someone you don’t know in your home wondering what your home will look like when you get back. Your home will look exactly the same as it did when you left. Possibly even clear than when you left.
“We booked Laina very last minute to watch our 1-year old doodle. Cooper had an amazing time! Laina sent pictures throughout the day of Cooper playing with both her dog and her daughter- which were so cute! We'd definitely recommend and will be booking again when needed :)”

I will get back to you quickly when you have questions. I live in the country and have a large home. My house is set back away from the road and I have lots of room in the yard for playing. If I am doing drop in visits, I can follow whatever schedule you set. I will follow your directions and respect your home.
“Heather was a god send! We were visiting the area and were unexpectedly kept away from home for 12 hours! I was panicked. Heather went over, took great care of them and gave me a great deal of comfort. Her communication and effort was top notch!”

I took some classes and this one I took at my vet which I was amazed because they taught me how to drain the adrenaline glands and some dogs have a severe issue with that quite often. My dog does! There are classes that you can go in and they will take the time and show you for some things. I like to to participate in these classes so I have knowledge when it comes time to if anything happens.

About: I have experience with dogs my entire life from daily care routine to caring for senior dogs. Your member of the family would be treated very well and we are able to care for dogs that require special attention. Your dog would not go more than 2-4 hours without someone supervising them.

They are sweet so there will be plenty of attention and exercise for your loved one. ❤️❤️❤️

About: Hi there! I’ve been dedicated to working with animals since I was 16, earning my Veterinary Technician license while in high school in Texas. Over the years, my deep interest in canine behavior led me to manage dog daycares and boarding facilities, as well as shadow experienced dog trainers. When I’m not caring for pets, you can usually find me immersed in my favorite hobby-handling and competing with dogs in conformation shows! With my veterinary background, I bring both clinical confidence and behavioral understanding to every visit. I am completely comfortable administering oral or injectable medications, following precise routines, and managing special needs. Having personally cared for an epileptic dog, I am well-versed in seizure protocols and know how to keep pups calm, safe, and supported. I work full-time during the week but am available to care for your dog from Saturday through Monday. Weekends typically involve nature hikes on various trails, allowing all the dogs to explore new scents and enjoy the outdoors. My dogs are my weekend companions, and your pup will become part of our pack on these adventures. I'm passionate about providing dogs with enriching experiences, and I'm confident your dog will have a fun and fulfilling time with us. I don't have a fenced-in yard, but we do monitor the dogs carefully when they are outside. Depending on the dog, we would either walk them on a leash or allow them to explore under close supervision. We have a crate available if needed, but you are more than welcome to bring your dog's own crate if they feel more comfortable in it. Dogs are welcome on furniture, beds, and throughout the house. Our home is completely dog-friendly.
“Ashley was great with our dog, Oreo! She was super flexible when we weren't able to come back to town as early as we wanted and sent us updates with pictures. She was also very active with our pup -taking him for walks and to the park. I will definitely go to Ashley the next time we need a sitter!”

“Alyssa lived on our Frenchie Vivian for 8 days! I was pretty devastated leaving her but Alyssa was wonderful and Viví bonded well. If you know a 1yr old Frenchie you know they can be a handful”

“Sarah was wonderful! We received update photos every day and our pup came home clearly well cared for and happy after over a week of being away. We were worried about our small dog being around her larger ones, but she arranged a meet and greet prior to taking King Tut. Her dogs were sweet and gentle with him. During the week we got photos of all three happily cuddled together. Would recommend Sarah S. and would definitely return should we need a dog-sitter!”

About: I have cared for my own dog for the past 13 years and sadly he died in February 2025. I walked him around my neighborhood consistently for all those years and now having that routine gone is difficult. Before having him as my own, I also helped take care of my families dog for several years. I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and demeanors and all sizes too :) I am attending SUNY Cortland right now and that is the only large barrier in my weekly schedule. I can care and/or walk dogs after 7pm on Monday and Wednesdays. I am available after 4pm on Tuesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday I can provide care all day with a days notice. Without notice I will most likely be working on Friday and therefore not available until after 4pm that day. I can house-sit on Fridays and Saturdays and into Sunday afternoon as well! I will maintain a safe and calm environment for your pet while caring for them and allow them to initiate any desired games or actions. I am willing to accommodate however you prefer for your dog when caring for them, just let me know of anything necessary :) Any questions or concerns for your dog's care are welcomed and appreciated as I prefer a heads up in advance of anything unusual or to keep an eye out/for. Thanks :)
“My dog had such a wonderful time!! Ashley is amazing she sent cute pictures all night when she had him and kept me updated on how he was doing. He played and played with the other pups she was boarding at the time and we definitely be rebooking with her next time we need to go somewhere ??❤️❤️”

“Tiffany was such a good sitter! Buster really enjoyed his stay, and we enjoyed having her care for him. She provided regular updates, was super responsive, and attentive to my fur baby. You can tell she loves dogs and treated Buster like her own. I will rebook in the future. Thank you Tiffany!”

“Watched our boy for about 4 days and did a great job of taking care of him while giving us frequent updates. She even helped train him off leash while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
