“Ashley took great care and updated me everyday about my dog. She was so patient with my puppy to ensure that she adjusted well to the new environment. Very effective communication and I felt so grateful for having her and her family to board my girl while I travel.”
“Chantal was amazing with my pets! She kept me updated the entire time and made me feel at ease while they were in her care. They came back happy and well taken care of. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“I cannot recommend Polina enough! She's reliable, responsive, and wonderful with dogs. She's like a dog whisperer! My puppy was well cared for and loved, he seemed so relaxed with her and happy when I picked him up. I would definitely use her again, don't hesitate!”
“Debbie is the most amazing person and the care and attention our dogs get is simply wonderful! I never worry about our fur babies when they are in Debbie’s Care! Her and her husband treat them like family. Our dogs simply love them!!”
“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.”
“Angela takes amazing care of my dog Athena! She loves my dog like she’s her own and always keeps me in the loop with regular updates. I am so happy to have found someone so wonderful to watch my pup.”
“I can’t say enough about how Christine and Matthew made me feel so comfortable leaving Riley with them when we were out of town! They kept me updated on how she was doing every day. When we arrived to pick her up, I thought she might want to stay!”
“Jenna and her husband were great. They worked around my crazy schedule to get my pup out there, and we're more than accommodating when I asked to pick him up early because I missed him! The house was a nice space and well kept, and the yard was a super nice large space for the boys to rhomp. They were both really friendly and great with my pup, making my feel as ease to leave him with them. And their pup and mine got along really well, so that was a bonus that he had a buddy for the week! It was also really nice that I got pictures all week of the boys playing and chilling together. All around excellent experience, I can't say enough good things to say how pleased I was with everything. I would certainly look Jenna up again to sit for my pup! Thank you!!”
“Charlie came back happy and healthy! Susan kept us well updated without needing to prompt, which was much appreciated while we were tied up on vacation it was nice to see he was being well cared for.”
“Destiny took such good care of my Opie. Her home environment seemed comforting/spacious for him and she made sure he got multiple walks a day. She sent lots of pictures, little updates, and made sure to ask questions about behaviors she wasn't sure about.”
“Meghan was awesome, she took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay, she's also a great photographer so you'd get nice shots of your pets, a 100% recommended.”
“Nina was a lifesaver! She was able to schedule a meet and greet, and book our dog for the weekend with short notice. She was very communicative. We received updates, and pictures, which was so appreciated. Our dog seemed very content during his stay with Nina. We are looking forward to using her again!”
“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”
“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!!!”
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.

“This was our first time using rover for our 2 cats. They are super anxious kitties and Natalie was awesome. She kept me updated on them and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!”
“Anastasia is an outstanding sitter who was available on short notice and was able to care for Stanley very well. He can be a difficult cat but she won him over despite some very loud meowy protests. Would recommend to anyone for cat care”
“Abby was an amazing caregiver to our elder high needs cat, Ringo! She did an amazing job keeping us updated, administering meds, and playing with Ringo while we were away. Our meet and greet went perfectly, especially given all of Ringo’s various feeding and medical needs. Her care and love of animals really shines through— in short, Abby is awesome!”
“We had an amazing experience with Chantal. She is incredibly warm-hearted and kind. She communicated with us transparently about our cat, regularly sending pictures and keeping us updated! Going above and beyond what was required of her. We would 100% book with her again. Thank you so much!”
“Amber is great! She's very responsible and communicative, understands cats from being a cat owner herself, and is very caring and loving with them. I would highly recommend her services.”
“I have never used a pet sitter before, but thanks to Rachel, I will absolutely do it again. She came over to my house before we left so I could show her the routine. As soon as I met her, I was no longer nervous about leaving my cats. She did a great job, is super professional, and I hope to book her again in the future.”
About: Hi there! My name is Jordan R. and I love taking care of dogs :) My family has always had dogs growing up from big to small, and have been my best friends. My roommate also has a dog and I love to play, walk with them, teach them tricks, and have fun with them! I am available to walk dogs, dog sit, come over and take them to the park or to hangout, anything you need! I'm available at almost any time during the day and overnight when needed. I have experience in all fields. Looking forward to the chance of meeting your dog(s) and providing assistance whenever needed. Thank you so much for your time and giving me the chance to look after your dog!
About: Who better than a veterinarian to take care of your best buddies while you're away? I am a new DVM graduate, and am happy to take care of your pets, no matter how old or young, especially those with special needs! I am certified in dog/cat CPR, and am comfortable providing any care needed. *Please note*: My providing pet sitting/dog walking/pet care services does NOT constitute a VCPR, and I cannot provide medical advice unless a VCPR is explicitly established in accordance with NY State Law* I prefer to stay in the client's home especially for dogs as this is generally much more comfortable for the dog to stay in their own environment. For overnight stays, I like to meet the dogs beforehand with owners present. This way they are assured it is okay to have me in their space for staying with them.
“Such a great experience and a wonderful caring human to watch over our fur babies! Sent lots of updates while we were away and followed all of the care instructions for our cats. Thank you so much. 100% recommend!”
“Cortney came to the house to meet Teagan before we went away-the longest trip we’ve taken since he joined the family, and I was approaching basket-case level anxiety about it. I was immediately relieved after meeting Cortney and seeing Teag warm right up to her! She sent pics and messages about him everyday. And it’s no small detail that she’s a vet tech and knows how to assess an animal’s health! I hope Cortney is available for our future trips!! Teagan was happy to see us back, but he’s still a little cranky about us being away?”

“Ashley and her husband were great. They were very responsive to questions, went above and beyond to update me throughout the daycare process, and also spoiled my dogs with a pool and so much attention. Thank you both for helping my family out while we were moving!”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs all my life and raised plenty of puppies. All kinds of dogs are my favorite people! They bring so much joy and energy to life I have 6 of my own dogs and live on a farm, so walking the fields and woods on our property is a daily occurrence. My dogs truly run my life! Lol I have a large fenced back yard as well as 50 acres to walk with them. There are dog doors to the fenced yard and my pack of 6 dogs provide plenty of entertainment and exercise for visiting pups.
About: I grew up with dogs and recently owned 2 rescued dogs. I have land around my home and access to a wooded area with trails for longer walks. I am comfortable with caring for dogs in any facet. I am a teacher and I am looking for summer work. I am free every day until late August. I am willing to walk your dog in your neighborhood or board a dog over night. I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.
About: I have 6+ years of taking care of my 2 jack Russell’s, neighbors dogs + cats in 3 different states and my boyfriends parents 2 cats (1 disabled). Promptly giving medicine to those animals in need for specific time, and patience tending to their attentions and needs. I work full time remote M-Thursday 8am-4pm with an hour and half lunch break each day. I work 3x a week part time on site and can be flexible as needed. I have a high energy dog (Jack Russell) that requires a lot of assertiveness and strict use of instruction. But at the same time requires rewards and playtime. I love to care for animals, but also care about the safety of myself, and owners property always keeping that at a #1 priority of my surroundings and the pets safety and better interest of the owner.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize clear communication with regular updates and photos. I have a fully fenced in backyard (although I can also take your pet for walks as well if preferred!) and am available to give lots of cuddles all day as I work from home full time! I work remote full time and have a fully fenced in back yard so I am able to watch your dog or cat full time. On the weekends I am usually out hiking or with friends, and can take your pet on those adventures as well! I also have a small 30 lb house trained and friendly doggy named Ramsey who is always down to play and/or nap :) I am able to give your pet around the clock care as I work from home, and my dog Ramsey is always ready to make new friends! I do allow pets on the furniture, just not in my bed, and have a fully fenced in yard for playtime, as well as the ability to take your furry friend on walks as well! Please let me know what your needs are, I want their stay to be as comfortable as possible!
“Chantal is a fabulous rover who always takes such sweet care of my puppy. He absolutely loves her and warmed up to her within minutes at our meet and greet. Chantal follows directions and provides great care with updates. Kind, intuitive, and nurturing she provided excellent care while my puppy recovered from a stomach bug. He gets excited every time we pull up to her home and happily awaits weekly visits. Great rover reliable and sincere, she completely turned our Rover experience around after a negative experience with a different Rover the first time we used the app. Repeat customer, we can always count on Chantal to offer amazing services.”
About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
“D treats our pet like her own. We love having her as our go-to sitter for our pup! I would 1000% recommend her again and again! It's such a relief knowing our dog is getting the love and care she deserves while we're busy with our everyday lives. Whether it's a last-minute pop-up visit or our regular daycare days, D is always fantastic!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and family members dogs growing up. My family loves to take care of dogs. We will care for your dog like we would our own. I have 4 kids(1-16) so the dog must be good with small children. I do work during the week. Someone is home during the summer and school breaks. We are available most weekends and can try to accommodate your pets needs! My husband and I both work in the school system so we are reliable and good people :) We live in a quiet neighborhood. I have two levels of our house and the dog is welcome to the entire house. We love to go on walks!
“Staci was a great! She has excellent communication, and updated me with plenty of pictures. I felt very safe allowing her in my home to pick up and drop off my Ace. She has a lot of experience and I was confident my dog was in good care with her. I highly recommend Staci.”
“Erix was so sweet and took Artemis in on such short notice!! He did a great job grooming her and she had a blast! Highly recommend and will absolutely be using his services again!”
“Susan kept in touch with me on my dog's first day care try. My dog did not get along with the other dog, so she kept them separated until I could get there to pick my dog up. Susan was very patient with him and kept him company. The problem was my dog and I will contact her again for a solo stay.”
“Gunner enjoyed his stay and we felt relieved with him in Diana’s care. Very lovely young lady with best interest of pups in mind. Would use her again. She was awesome with last minute request. Thank you!!”
“Our usual sitter Chelsea was unavailable and recommended Marisol. Isla loved her time with Marisol and Benito! This is the first real off leash (fenced in yard) play she's had with a dog closer to her size and she loved it. They really made her feel welcome and taken care of and all that play left her tuckered out. We even got ideas for a couple new toys for her.”

About: I grew up with two cats, so I love cats as well as dogs. In 2019, I adopted an incredibly loving, gorgeous lab pit named Lucy, and she keeps me very active every day! She was a rescue dog, and although we were originally fostering her, I bonded with her too much to let her go. I’ve always been a natural introvert and have been drawn to the compassion of animals. I believe we can learn more about our own humanity through caring for animals. I look forward to meeting your amazing furry friends! In addition to Rover, I substitute teach right now, and this allows me to have a very flexible schedule. It's closer to part-time than full-time. My priority is to listen and adapt to each client’s needs/preferences, so that both the client and their pets will be as happy as possible.
About: Well hello everybody! I have owned and cared for cats my whole life! I would consider myself an expert even with the most challenging kitties and cats of all ages. Most of the cats I have had as pets have been special needs as well so please don’t think your little fur baby is too “difficult” for me! Also, I have been professionally taking care of pets all of my whole life. at most I’ve had 15 cats, 4 dogs, 1 turtle and 1 lizard. poop doesn’t scare me and neither does piddle! I have also had a plethera of pets that had special needs. therefore, if your pet requires special care, I am 100% willing to do that to ensure that you’re comfortable and that your fur-baby is too ☺️ Elderly pets are no worry. If your pet sprays I don’t wish to board them mainly because I don’t want their potty scent throwing off my animals. I have 3 cats of my own at my house. if your pet doesn’t agree with cats boarding probably won’t be the best solution for you! I have a completely open schedule that allows me to be around for you and your pet needs almost everyday of the week. I’m awake around the clock and don’t mind working with odd hours either! I would refer to the pet owners wants, wishes & concerns and of course treat them like as if they were my own little fur baby!

“Charlie came back happy and healthy! Susan kept us well updated without needing to prompt, which was much appreciated while we were tied up on vacation it was nice to see he was being well cared for.”
“Destiny took such good care of my Opie. Her home environment seemed comforting/spacious for him and she made sure he got multiple walks a day. She sent lots of pictures, little updates, and made sure to ask questions about behaviors she wasn't sure about.”
“Meghan was awesome, she took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay, she's also a great photographer so you'd get nice shots of your pets, a 100% recommended.”
“Kiera took such wonderful care of my senior guy! I dropped him off at her home while I moved into my new place and I had such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Kiera sent me pics and videos of Chico playing and out on walks with her sweet senior girl! I will definitely bring Chico back to Kiera’s in the future.”
“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!!!”
“What can I say about Lorinda? She provided exceptional care for my two dogs on a two week private at home boarding at her house. Her communication and responsiveness was 10 out of 10. She was incredibly flexible and helpful with logistics and some special accommodations we needed. When the state got extended and the dogs ran out of food, she was kind enough to go to two different stores to pick up what they like. She is very professional and reliable, and I feel very comfortable being out of the country, knowing that my dogs are with her.”
“Booked last minute and was very accommodating. I needed a day sitter for my 2 labs and received pictures/ updates thought the day. My dogs had a great day and were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
“Kara was great ! Was able to take Zoey at late notice and was more than happy to accomodate her special needs. Will be happy to use her again next time I'm out of town”
