“I have found my go to sitter in Mary K! This was our 2nd time with her, she is a great match for both me and my dogs. Very loving with them, and very communicative with me. We can't wait to come back!”
“Our dog Ella is very shy so we are always worry about boarding her but she was in good hands and we received many photos/videos to set our minds at ease. Will use Huijun’s service in the future!”
“Rachel has been amazing with my pup Ellie! I can tell Ellie enjoyed herself and Rachael was always sending pics and videos. We will be using her again to watch Ellie in the future!”
“Carlos stayed for a week. When we picked him up he was the same healthy, happy dog we dropped off 8 days previously. We received photos and an update every day-which was great. The booking and communications were easy and very professional. I loved that Carlos had a safe place to stay where he could play with other dogs and get frequent attention from people-something he craves. We were not able to go inside the house, but the yard was large, away from the road, and there were multiple fence runs for the dogs. We will certainly keep in touch with Ellen and use their boarding services in the future!”
“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!”
“Susan deserves the highest praise. Our dog was with her for 10 days! She is an excellent communicator and answers in a very timely fashion. We received at least one photo everyday but typically multiple pictures and videos too! Our dog is often engaged with her or family members in the photos. Your dog is truly treated like a part of her family. She has take care of our guy since he was a puppy and I book as early as possible to assure he can be with her.”
“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.”
“Georgianne was a great sitter. She posted picks regularly and gave me updates on how my cat was doing. She also responded very quickly whenever I messaged her. I would definitely leave my cat with Georgianne again.”
“Jaclyn was great with my husky, Krypto! He was boarded with her and her family for 6 days and he seemed to feel right at home. Communication with Jaclyn was very good. She would always send updates with pictures and would respond quickly if I had a question. She created a great environment for him to thrive in. Would definitely recommend Jaclyn to anyone!”
“Yakelin has been a super lovely and caring dog sitter for my fur baby, Tonton. She and her family all shared a lot of love and care for my dog. We appreciate their attention to my dog’s medical conditions, and frequent updates with videos and pictures. The love and warmth we received from her and family is highly appreciated!”
“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!!”
“My first time using the Rover service and my first time with Donna as the caregiver fro Rosie. Donna has a way of making the anxious owner feel more at ease in leaving their dog in her hands. She seems tuned into the pet and the owner. Rosie seemed to enjoy her time with Donna and was reluctant to come home; a very good sign that the petcare person is a professional.”
“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!”
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.
“Staci was absolutely wonderful - we will definitely be using her again! Before we left Ozzie in her care, she was happy to meet over facetime and then in person to make sure we were comfortable. She was calm and warm, and sent us plenty of pictures so we could see how happy our little guy was! She is reliable, kind, and clearly a dog lover, and she took excellent care of Ozzie! Five stars!!”
“Our pup is clearly enjoying staying with Eden and Gal more than staying with us LOL she got so excited on the way there! We got a lot of video and photo updates, I know she is in perfectly good hands and she’s getting all the love and attention from Eden and Gal! They are so so sweet!”
“We had two dogs she watched for us and when I say I was nervous especially for my one dog all I have to say hands down recommend I definitely will be booking again.”

“Ashley has been absolutely amazing for the past 2 weeks for drop-in visits. From the meet and greet till the end of week 2, she's been great with communication and always keeps me informed about Cleo. I was super anxious leaving Cleo alone while I traveled for work but Ashley made it so much better, came back home to a very happy kitty every time. Now I'm a lot less stressed out leaving Cleo home while I'm gone for work. 10/10 would recommend ☺️”
“Heather was absolutely amazing! My family was able to go away and not have to worry about our beloved fur babies. I highly recommend her and we will certainly use her again . Thank you for everything!!”

“Mikala did an excellent job taking care of my kitty. She was able to give her an oral medication every day while also making sure all her needs were met…scooping litter, changing her water and making sure she had clean dishes and fresh food.i would absolutely recommend her and use her again myself.”
“We were new to the area and needed a new sitter for our three cats when we were out of town. Kristin was amazing!!! It was so comforting to know that our cats were in such good hands. We received daily photos and updates and the cats seemed genuinely comfortable with her since the first visit. We’re already rebooking.”

About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve grown up caring for them since I was young. My first cat, Hunter Patches, meant the world to me and taught me how important patience, love, and attention are when caring for animals. After losing him last year, I opened my home to two new cats, Loki and Marie, who have brought so much joy into my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats with different personalities, from playful and energetic to shy and independent. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, giving attention and affection, and making sure cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

“Attentive, detailed, on-time and extremely caring. They took very good care of my three cats and put my mind at ease, allowing me to have a much needed vacation!”
About: Hi, my name is Rachel. I have been around all types of animals basically my entire life, dogs being my favorite of course. I've been around small dogs, average sized dogs and larger dogs. Because I'm a highly energetic person and love to run and play, I will be able to provide a great and fun environment to your pup. Since I've moved from home ( New York ) I am no longer around my family pets, whom I miss very much, Rover gives me an opportunity to make friends with your pup's, so for that I'm extremely greatful and excited to get started. I am eager to meet yourself and your fur child, and I'm even more excited to become their very good friend! ?
“Maria was incredible to work with. I was nervous to leave my best friend in the care of anyone besides me but my nerves were quickly relieved. Maria took the time to have a meet and greet so he knew her beforehand and also was extremely professional, asking lots of relevant questions to make sure she knew exactly what to do. Frequent photo updates kept me from wondering about him on my vacation. 100% would recommend Maria and I will be using her again”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Howlett Hill
“I can't say enough good things about Stacey. She is truly outstanding in every way when it comes to taking care of Scotch. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my Scotch is in such capable and caring hands. Whether I’m away at work or out for the day, I never have to worry—my dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.”
“Ginger siempre tiene un buen día con Suanny. Siempre está entusiasmada por regresar y ver Suanny y su familia. Adicionalmente, Suanny es muy amable y flexible con un horario difícil y la necesidad de cambios de planes en el último momento. Es evidente que ella le importa ambos la mascota y la persona.”
“Luna was right at home with Eden and Gal! Luna was walked, cuddled and so well cared for! Thank you for your love of dogs and watching my baby girl! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver who regularly boards and dog-sits for our neighbors and friends right here in my home. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do occasionally, it’s something I’m known for in our community. We have a friendly golden retriever, two well-adjusted cats, and kids who have grown up around animals and understand how to be gentle and respectful. Our home is often the place everyone gathers because it’s warm, welcoming, and full of life, and visiting pups quickly become part of that energy. We also have a beautiful fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Whether your dog loves to run, sunbathe, or just stay close to people, there’s space here for all of it. I work from home, so pets enjoy consistent supervision and attention. Our days follow a steady school routine with playtime, backyard breaks, and calm evenings. Our home is warm, inviting, and full of love, with a large fenced yard for safe outdoor play and gentle, friendly pets who happily welcome new furry friends.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets and owning dogs (& cats) since I was 15 . I also took dog training classes in Germany . Over the past years I’ve watched friends and coworkers puppies , family and friends cats and did take in some dogs from military friends for vacation ! Our dogs are super friendly with all other pets ! Cats as well as dogs - all sizes! ( they love smaller dogs as a matter of fact!) Currently I’m a stay at home mom with a 13 month old baby! I offer mostly going for walks for busy dog parents during the day (: If you request boarding: We prefer meeting up with the dogs once or twice before taking them in , to make sure they get along. Our puppies love smaller dogs ! I have a fenced yard and a house , my puppies are both friendly with others. If needed or asked to, I can separate the dogs or keep in a crate .
“Daylin was excellent with my pup! He doesn’t do well away from me and he is very energetic and she handled both of those things well! She sent me pictures throughout the day and he came home happy and exhausted! Will definitely use her again!”
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.
About: I’ve owned a dog or two since I could walk. I dog sit for family & friends. I care that they feel safe, loved, & secure while you are out. Their well being matters to me. I currently work partime, 2 days a week. I am available to work your dogs potty breaks and walks around mine pretty easily. I love to walk myself, so walking your pup is easy. I love making our fur babies happy! I have a fenced yard and live in a lovely safe neighborhood to walk dogs. I have room enough inside to throw a ball and play. I care that your dog feels safe and not abandoned. I’ll love them like they were my own.
“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.”

“Kaylah was AMAZING!!! Very sweet person, her and Maximus hit it off right as soon as she walken in the door. She walk him everyday as sheduled and even walked him longer than planned. after every walk she sent us pictures of their walk. She feed and watered him after every walk. We will definitely be reaching out to book her again!!! Thanks Kaylah!!”
“Isaiah was able to come at the last minute to help when our sitter had to take care of a personal matter. Our boys are a handful and they seemed to acclimate to him amazing! Highly recommend!”
“Carly was absolutely fantastic! She was perfectly on time, brought a wonderful, positive energy, and came prepared with treats. My pup was clearly happy and excited to walk with her, and I felt instantly comfortable and confident in her care. I'll definitely be booking her again very soon!”
“Allison is very sweet and super reliable! We have a high energy 1 year old dog and she’s great and burning his energy during the day while we’re at work! She goes above and beyond for our Theo! 🐾”
“Jamie is the BEST! We have a super nervous, occasionally reactive dog, and within two thirty minute walks, she’s my dog’s new best friend. She’s great at recognizing body language of dogs, and is always sure to take pictures of my baby on walks and send them over. She also checked to see what tricks Goose knew, and refreshes them with him on every walk. We’re so glad to have her as part of his weekly routine :)”
“Kristin was great. I needed someone to walk my dog a few times on a sunday evening. She was able to meet me and Oakley before, and check out my apartment so there were no issue the day of. She provided pictures and updates, along with beginning and ending walk times. It helped keep me at ease, and I highly recommend her!”
About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I’m 19 years old and have been around animals my entire life. Growing up, I was never without a pet, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. My first cat, Hunter Patches, was a huge part of my life before he passed last year. Since then, I’ve welcomed two new cats, Loki and Marie, into my family. I also have a 10 year old rescue dog named Gunner and recently rescued a bearded dragon named Dino. I’m comfortable caring for cats, dogs, and reptiles, and I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, play with, check on, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and genuinely love spending time with animals of all kinds. Pet care fits naturally into my daily schedule because caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. I have a flexible routine and enjoy spending time feeding, playing with, walking, and giving attention to pets throughout the week. I will care for your pets like they’re my own by keeping them fed, comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’ll follow their routines closely, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel calm and cared for in their home environment.
About: I have always been an animal lover, caring for dogs and cats of all ages and size since middle school. I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like! I’ve even helped rescue cats and kittens, so I have some experience with that. I work for myself as a speech pathologist so I make my own schedule weekly, making it very easy for me to accommodate needs for your animal! I truly believe that animals can sense when people will treat them right- all animals appear to sense this about me and can trust me.
“Alyssa was so great with my little one. She kept me updated throughout the week, was very responsive and took care of him when he did not feel well. She even got him a toy for his birthday. I would highly recommend her!”

About: I live in Strathmore and work downtown. My absolute favorite things in life are my sons (who are amazing human beings!) and animals. Now that my sons are independent and out of the house, I enjoy being around and caring for animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals (e.g., dogs, cats, tarantulas, snakes, insects, and more). And I have had and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from mini dachshunds with serious Napoleon complexes to larger-than-life Rottweilers and Great Danes. If you need a trustworthy, reliable, and affordable caregiver, feel free to reach out. :) Please note: Rate adjustments are available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Happy to work around your needs. I work in downtown Syracuse, so I can help with mid-day potty breaks for pets who live in Syracuse when needed. I have a fenced-in yard and live right across from Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place for walks if your pet needs to stay with me. I'm also happy to stay at clients' homes.
“This was my first time booking a dog walker. I was so excited that Heather had a dog she could bring! Both dog and Heather were friendly, professional, and on time. Walk went well and we’ll be booking again. Thanks!”
About: I work from home, so I am always available for the pets! I love all ages, puppies to older dogs. I had a dog growing up, she just recently passed, so I have experience with all ages. I work from home, so I am available to be with the pets all day long. I love to go on walks so I would love to bring them along with me! I have a dog crate available, and I live in a very safe neighborhood, I will make sure to never leave the pets alone too!
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life. I previously owned a pit bull and a bullmastiff. I love the company of animals so it would be my pleasure to take care of your dog. I have a 15 year old son who is also a dog lover and very responsible. I live near the Erie Canal and love to walk the trails with furry friends. I minimally train if needed although I’m not certified. I am currently not working so your pup will get plenty of love and attention. I may leave the house for a few hours a day but that’s all. I let them hang out on my main floor where couches and beds are all pet friendly. I have a large picture window they love to people/dog watch from. I have a fenced back yard for potty breaks and will walk them around my circle or at the canal for exercise. I take multiple dogs at a time and when I have more than one dog I adjust to their individual needs and separate if need be. I have 2 spare bedrooms set up very comfortably just for dogs if that is the case and everyone gets their fair share of attention☺️
About: **Im sorry but I will not accept a next day booking if I have never met your dog previously, it's for safety's sake!** I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a little kid. All the dogs growing up were considered "my dogs" by everyone else in the house. I currently have two well behaved dogs, a husky who enthusiastically learned to do basic tricks and a special needs staffie that is a certified couch potato. If your baby has a medication regimen, I can make sure it gets followed. We can be as lazy or active as your baby needs me to be. I also have extensive experience with cats and some experience with ball pythons. My human kids are adults now, so I spend most of my waking time doting over my fur babies; I could consider yours a part of my pack if you'd like! If your dog is an adventurer we can walk for hours. I have two very friendly dogs and two...lets just call them tolerant...cats. I love just watching them go, so I am very engaged with the babies all day long. I'm good at following instructions and I can crate your pet as I come and go if you wish.
About: My passion for keeping dogs happy and safe! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life! I also have a dog named Zeus! Loving boy! I have a flexible schedule and I will work with your dogs scheduling needs! Your dogs will be happy and ready for a happy! Wahoooo! My house is pet friendly and safe! Willing to go to owners homes! Training and playing with dogs is my passion! Play all day! Yay!
About: For many years, I aided my aunt who owns her own dog grooming salon, keeping the dogs occupied and bathing them! I have also taken care of many friends and family members dogs, even cats! I had two dogs, two Guinea pigs, and recently just adopted a cat! I volunteer weekly at a bunny farm cleaning their cages and spending time with them. I enjoy all animals and being a difference in their lives! I currently have a full time job, typically work week hours, with some overtime so I will need to work around that! Available weekends and late night!! I have a park nearby and am familiar with safe areas for dog walking! I think it is important to listen to the client and will do everything I can to ensure your pets safety and help you feel at ease knowing they are in good hands! Every client is different and I respect each and every boundary.

“Rachel has been amazing with my pup Ellie! I can tell Ellie enjoyed herself and Rachael was always sending pics and videos. We will be using her again to watch Ellie in the future!”
“Carlos stayed for a week. When we picked him up he was the same healthy, happy dog we dropped off 8 days previously. We received photos and an update every day-which was great. The booking and communications were easy and very professional. I loved that Carlos had a safe place to stay where he could play with other dogs and get frequent attention from people-something he craves. We were not able to go inside the house, but the yard was large, away from the road, and there were multiple fence runs for the dogs. We will certainly keep in touch with Ellen and use their boarding services in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jaclyn was great with my husky, Krypto! He was boarded with her and her family for 6 days and he seemed to feel right at home. Communication with Jaclyn was very good. She would always send updates with pictures and would respond quickly if I had a question. She created a great environment for him to thrive in. Would definitely recommend Jaclyn to anyone!”
“Yakelin has been a super lovely and caring dog sitter for my fur baby, Tonton. She and her family all shared a lot of love and care for my dog. We appreciate their attention to my dog’s medical conditions, and frequent updates with videos and pictures. The love and warmth we received from her and family is highly appreciated!”
“Staci was absolutely wonderful - we will definitely be using her again! Before we left Ozzie in her care, she was happy to meet over facetime and then in person to make sure we were comfortable. She was calm and warm, and sent us plenty of pictures so we could see how happy our little guy was! She is reliable, kind, and clearly a dog lover, and she took excellent care of Ozzie! Five stars!!”
“We had two dogs she watched for us and when I say I was nervous especially for my one dog all I have to say hands down recommend I definitely will be booking again.”
“Lisa was amazing from the moment I met her until the day I picked up my dog. She kept me informed about my dog throughout the day and sent me photos. She is very nice and I know my dog was in good hands the entire time we were gone. I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
About: I live in Strathmore and work downtown. My absolute favorite things in life are my sons (who are amazing human beings!) and animals. Now that my sons are independent and out of the house, I enjoy being around and caring for animals. I have experience with all kinds of animals (e.g., dogs, cats, tarantulas, snakes, insects, and more). And I have had and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from mini dachshunds with serious Napoleon complexes to larger-than-life Rottweilers and Great Danes. If you need a trustworthy, reliable, and affordable caregiver, feel free to reach out. :) Please note: Rate adjustments are available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Happy to work around your needs. I work in downtown Syracuse, so I can help with mid-day potty breaks for pets who live in Syracuse when needed. I have a fenced-in yard and live right across from Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place for walks if your pet needs to stay with me. I'm also happy to stay at clients' homes.
“Lindsey is a great dog sitter! I wasn't able to have my dog Zoe with me for Christmas this year, so she got to spend it with Lindsey and her family. Zoe was right at home there on "the farm" and really enjoyed being part of the family. She made some new friends with the chickens and horses and Lindsey's two dogs who were very friendly with Zoe. I highly recommend Lindsey if you have a dog who likes to be social and likes small children and other animals. Thank you Lindsey for taking such good care of my girl!”
“Irina was absolutely wonderful!!! She really went above and beyond, and I can't thank her enough. Oscar and Gabby came home happy, healthy and full of pep. I cannot recommend Irina highly enough!!! Infinity Stars!!!”
“Erix was amazing! Super friendly and professional. He took great care of my boy Glacier and sent pictures and videos to keep me updated on how things were going. I definitely recommend him if you're looking for a sitter for your fur babies! Thank you again Erix for everything! You made everything feel safe and smooth caring for my boy.”
“Andrew and his wife took excellent care of our dog over the weekend. It was his first time staying with them, so they sent me several updates and photos to let me know how he was doing. When we picked him up, they sent me home with a handwritten note, dog treats, and a new chew toy. A very thoughtful finishing touch!”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me and remains one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I currently have my own dog, who I adopted as a puppy while I was in college and is now 4 years old. Raising her has given me experience with training, building routines, and understanding different stages of a dog’s development. I’m comfortable administering medication, brushing and bathing, handling anxious behaviors, and keeping pets on their regular care schedules. I also have experience walking dogs that pull and can confidently handle strong or high-energy pups while keeping walks safe and structured. Whether your pet needs active playtime, consistent routines, or gentle care and attention, I’m patient and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own. As a current medical student, I understand the importance of flexibility and prioritizing a pet's needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and dependable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I am excited to learn about your pet's unique personality and am more than happy to accommodate any specific requests. As a medical student, my schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care into my daily and weekly routine. While there are periods of time when I am less available, I’m committed to clear communication about my availability and will always work to accommodate your pet’s needs as best as possible. Time management is extremely important to my academic program, and I bring that same organization, dependability, and attention to detail to pet care. I take pride in my work and practice compassionate, attentive care in everything I do. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and value the trust you place in me to care for them. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I currently live in an apartment located directly across the street from a dog park with both large and small dog areas, which allows for convenient, safe, and appropriate exercise based on your dog’s size and temperament. The neighborhood is safe and very pet-friendly. I’m attentive to maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care needs. I make sure pets receive both physical activity and plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency and respect for your space. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and maintain your pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I’m also willing to travel or make special trips if your dog attends daycare, has a preferred park, or enjoys a specific walking route. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and cared for as possible, wherever they are.
