“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!”
“Lindsey did an amazing job caring for our dogs, Cookie and Rocco, while we were out of town for two nights. She kept in touch throughout their stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were busy purchasing a home in New York. It was clear that Cookie and Rocco were well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Lindsey was reliable, communicative, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. We could not have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Lindsey with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! As dog parents, leaving our babies behind is never easy, but Lindsey made the whole experience stress-free.”
“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.”
“Teresa was very nice and sweet. This was the first time we had to board our dogs and I would definitely take them here again. Very nice clean place to board your dogs. Very reasonable prices too!! Will definitely use again.”
“If you're looking for a reliable and communicative dog sitter, Ellen is the perfect choice. She recently cared for my dog, Fergus, for three days, providing feeding, overnight care, and plenty of playtime. What impressed me most was Ellen's excellent communication. I received daily pictures and messages, which kept me connected and reassured that Fergus was in good hands. He returned home happy and healthy, which is always the most important thing. I also appreciated Ellen's flexibility when I was slightly late for pickup. This is my third time using Ellen, and her consistent care and professionalism make her my go-to dog sitter. I highly recommend her services!”
About: With a bachelor's degree in Animal Science, with hands on veterinary clinic experience, and a lifetime spent caring for animals, I understand that pets are family. I've owned dogs my entire life and have over 30 years of experience caring for and riding horses, giving me confidence working with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, attentive care, or a calm and compassionate companion while you're away, you can trust they'll be treated with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own animals. I am currently working part-time from home, I have plenty of time available to spend quality time with your pet while you take care of your daily life. I have previously worked at a vet clinic and have a bachelor's in animal science so I am familiar and comfortable working around different types of animals that have specific needs. I have a fenced in yard with fully vaccinated friendly dogs, I feel confident that your pet will fit right in.
“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.”
“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!!”
“Georgianne was wonderful for my dog Vera! It was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous but she did a wonderful job responding to me when I asked for updates and sent me photos and videos. My dog was very comfortable with her and loved her backyard! I would have Georgianne watch my dog again :)”
“Donna is fantastic! She took such good care of my Australian cattle dog over the holidays. He had a hurt paw which needed to be cleaned constantly and administered medication twice a day. She was great with him. Kept up with cleanings and meds. She will be my first choice whenever I need someone to watch my boy! Thank you so much Donna and Tom! I so appreciate all that you did to take care of him and keep me updated each day!”
“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!!!”
“Tiffany did a great job taking care of my pup for 3 days. She’s got a great fenced in yard to play in, she took her for walks & sent plenty of pics & updates. My dog & hers got along great; we’ll definitely use Tiffany again. I highly recommend Tiffany to take care of your pup!”
“Wonderfully attentive with Bella's care, feeding and meds. She has a wonderful pet friendly home with nice large fenced grassy yard for roaming and exploring. We will definitely be back. Thank you.”
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.
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.

“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!”
“Susan looked after my dog Gainsley for a week while I was on vacation. I can not say enough good things about how well Susan took care of Gainsley while I was away. My dog is a rescue dog and very hesitant to attach herself with adults that she does not know. Susan understood Gainsley s needs completely. Susan regularly sent me pictures to constantly reassure me that Gainsley was happy. I can not thank her enough.”
“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!”

I would recommend his services to everyone!”

I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly.

“We are so thankful for Erix. He accommodated us in a pinch. We are in town moving my niece into college and brought her dog, but we couldn’t bring him to the dorm. We had to switch hotels but weren’t able to get an early check in so we needed to figure a plan for our little Coco for just a few hours. I saw Erix’s profile and he had so many amazing reviews and he responded right away. Everything worked out perfectly and Erix was so sweet and took awesome care of our dog.”

About: The last few years I've provided an array of services for dog sitting, walking, weekly stays and occasionally drop in visits. From Danes to Chihuahua's I'm certain I can give your pup the love, patience, care and energy (high or low depending on the pup) that they need to live happy, comfortable and confident lives. I've taken care of an array of animals since I was a kid from hamsters to dogs to little frogs! I currently have a 2.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix who I've worked with through several training classes. I'm happy to help and follow through with current trainings you are working with your pup on while I interact with them. I'm able to remove ticks and have a first aid kit always on had and a base medicinal understanding and can administer medication if needed. I'm also doggy and human first aid certified (American Red Cross). If your pup is spayed/neutered, vaccinated and well socialized (or needs a little nudge and isnt aggressive or reactive) I'd be happy to take them to a dog park with or without my pup Luna. Does your dog have a special diet? Bon appetit, I'll be sure to get them their right food at the right time! Senior dogs need love too, I'll be patient and we can take a nice and easy stroll or take a little car ride! Speaking of, I have room in my subaru for any transportation your pup may ever need (including a doggy seatbelt). Overall, I'm flexible and want to help you and your pup have a happy life! I am currently employed but my schedule is very inconsistent at this time so reach out for availability checks and I can work with you! I'm very flexible in my scheduling. Right now I do not have the capacity for boarding or keeping any dogs besides my own at my current residence. Here we have a large yard with room for our pups to run and their recall work has been going well. Dogs can be on the furniture minus the kitchen table! We also have a large basement with room to run there too. In your home, I follow your rules and will respect your privacy. Please inform me of any specific requirements in your home or anything I should be aware of. I will act professionally and respectfully, just like I would ask someone if they were entering my home. I am flexible so just let me know of anything and I can adapt!
About: I have been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for many years, and caring for both cats and dogs has always been a true passion of mine. I understand that pets are beloved family members, each with their own unique personalities, routines, and needs, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. I am dependable, compassionate, and attentive to detail. Whether your pet is an energetic dog, a playful cat, a shy rescue, or a senior or special-needs companion, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My experience with rescue animals and special-needs pets has taught me to be especially patient and observant, allowing me to quickly notice changes in behavior or health. Nothing makes me happier than earning an animal’s trust and ensuring they receive exceptional care while their family is away. My goal is to provide not only outstanding care for your pets, but also complete peace of mind for you. As a full-time high school teacher, I maintain a structured and dependable schedule, working from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM during the school year. This allows me to provide pet visits during the midday, if needed, and dedicated walks and care immediately after the school day. Caring for animals is an important part of my daily life. I share my home with two dogs, who enjoy their walks as soon as I return home, as well as my cats, who are part of my evening routine. This firsthand experience as a pet owner helps me understand the importance of consistency, exercise, affection, and attentive care. In addition to my availability during the school year, I have school vacations, holidays, and summers off, which provides greater flexibility to accommodate your schedule and your pets' needs. I am committed to providing reliable, compassionate, and professional care so you can feel confident that your pets are in excellent hands. I provide attentive, personalized care in your home so that your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their regular routines. I understand that consistency is important for reducing stress and helping pets feel secure while their families are away. During each visit, I ensure that your pets have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty areas, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. For dogs, this includes walks, outdoor breaks, and interactive play tailored to their energy level and needs. For cats, I provide feeding, litter box maintenance, enrichment, and quiet companionship on their terms. I am experienced in caring for rescue, senior, and special-needs pets, including administering oral medications when needed. I take the time to observe each pet’s behavior and overall well-being, and I will promptly communicate any concerns. I also respect your home and will keep feeding areas, litter boxes, and pet spaces clean and tidy. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving loving, professional care.

“Katherine was very friendly and my dog loved her immediately! She took her for a 34 minute walk and covered 1.5 miles! She tired my Labrador retriever out which is no easy task! Thank you Katherine!”
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and genuinely love all animals. I had my first cat at age 4 and grew up with both cats and dogs. I also lived with a rescued pit bull for several years (she had a rough past and didn’t do well around other dogs), so I have some experience with anxious pups on walks. I understand how important it is to build trust and work at a pet’s pace. Whether your pet is social and playful or a bit shy and needs space, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the best care possible. Even with a full-time job in finance, I make time for what matters—and for me, that includes animals. I work a standard weekday schedule, but my evenings and weekends are all open for pet care. The flexibility of my job may allow for a late morning - early afternoon check-in. Whether its a walk, evening check-in, or weekend drop-ins, I’m happy to build a schedule that fits your pet’s needs. I also spend most of my downtime at home, so if your pets need longer visits, I can give them plenty of attention and company. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as normal and comforting as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, medications, walking schedules, or just the way your pet likes their favorite toy tossed. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and needs. If we arrange care in my home, your pet will be treated like one of my own. I have a calm, pet-friendly space and three cat companions who are used to other animals and are gentle and well-socialized. I always do a slow introduction and only bring in pets that I know will be comfortable in that environment. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, whether I’m in your home or you're trusting your pet with mine.
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.
“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: There’s nothing more than I love more than animals. I treat every animal, big or small with the most amount of love and attention I can. I’ll take the time to play with them and provide the attention they deserve. I’ve been known to even befriend chipmunks. People don’t call me Snow White for nothing :) I’m currently working remotely. I can tend to your pets in the best way you find fit :) I always ask pet parents if they have routines to be sure I accommodate the best I can. I’ll respect what the owner provides for instructions and ensure the pets safety and happiness are my number one priority always. You’ll rest assured knowing your pet is in my hands.
“Lee was AMAZING! Best experience ever for my pups, I’m honestly so glad I found her last minute. Communicating with Lee was fast, to the point and no hassles! I would recommend her 1000%!”
About: I’ve taken care of many family loved pets! There has always been cats and dogs in my family whilst growing up! I know how to give pet care and thrive when doing it! I can adapt to any specific routine, simple to complex! I’m a full time nursing student, home during the summer months (June-August). I take summers off and will have time to give my full attention to pet care and house sitting! I will follow any routine your pet is used to! It can be stressful changing the flow of their days, so I would love to learn what they know and follow it while you are away!
“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!”
About: Having been through a fairly traumatic dog attack myself, I made it my mission to learn all about dog's behavior and why they do what they do. I have studied different ways of training and learning how to react to certain situations with them. I promise to love and give all the fun play time, cuddle time, and attention to your favorite furry friend! Your doggy can sleep in my bed and hang out on the couch. If you are anything like me, your dog is your best friend and child! I had an amazing female Boston Terrier who lived to 13 1/2. I am versed in care of elderly dogs. My new venture is a deaf puppy. We are learning hand signals for training. He is very friendly and loves to make new friends. If you have any questions about what I'm willing to do, or can and can't do, please don't hesitate to ask me! I work for a family business, and can bring my dog to work. Therefore, your pup will be able to come to work with me! I will love your baby as if it was my own. Dogs will always be leashed outside. They are allowed on furniture here and are welcome to snuggle anytime! But if you have different rules , please tell me so I can abide by them.

“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!”
“Lindsey did an amazing job caring for our dogs, Cookie and Rocco, while we were out of town for two nights. She kept in touch throughout their stay, sent plenty of photos and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were busy purchasing a home in New York. It was clear that Cookie and Rocco were well cared for, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. Lindsey was reliable, communicative, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. We could not have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust Lindsey with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter! As dog parents, leaving our babies behind is never easy, but Lindsey made the whole experience stress-free.”
“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.”
“Teresa was very nice and sweet. This was the first time we had to board our dogs and I would definitely take them here again. Very nice clean place to board your dogs. Very reasonable prices too!! Will definitely use again.”
“If you're looking for a reliable and communicative dog sitter, Ellen is the perfect choice. She recently cared for my dog, Fergus, for three days, providing feeding, overnight care, and plenty of playtime. What impressed me most was Ellen's excellent communication. I received daily pictures and messages, which kept me connected and reassured that Fergus was in good hands. He returned home happy and healthy, which is always the most important thing. I also appreciated Ellen's flexibility when I was slightly late for pickup. This is my third time using Ellen, and her consistent care and professionalism make her my go-to dog sitter. I highly recommend her services!”
About: With a bachelor's degree in Animal Science, with hands on veterinary clinic experience, and a lifetime spent caring for animals, I understand that pets are family. I've owned dogs my entire life and have over 30 years of experience caring for and riding horses, giving me confidence working with animals of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, attentive care, or a calm and compassionate companion while you're away, you can trust they'll be treated with the same love, patience, and respect I give my own animals. I am currently working part-time from home, I have plenty of time available to spend quality time with your pet while you take care of your daily life. I have previously worked at a vet clinic and have a bachelor's in animal science so I am familiar and comfortable working around different types of animals that have specific needs. I have a fenced in yard with fully vaccinated friendly dogs, I feel confident that your pet will fit right in.
“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!!!”
“Tiffany did a great job taking care of my pup for 3 days. She’s got a great fenced in yard to play in, she took her for walks & sent plenty of pics & updates. My dog & hers got along great; we’ll definitely use Tiffany again. I highly recommend Tiffany to take care of your pup!”
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.
“Not only did I have the support of my family choosing Jennifer and her family, I knew as soon as I met them, I would not have to worry. Their added touch of sending pics of Bear and reports daily was a nice touch. I highly recommend them for pet sitting. Monica Sondej”
“Thomas was awesome! My wife and I have been using Rover for a few years, and this was our first time booking with him. The experience exceeded our expectations. We have a very shy Schnauzer, but Thomas and his family treated him like one of their own. It was clear that they genuinely cared for him and made him feel comfortable while we were away. We also ran into some unexpected complications when returning from our trip, and Thomas was incredibly understanding and accommodating. His flexibility and willingness to help made a stressful situation much easier and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your fur baby with love and care, I highly recommend Thomas. We will definitely be booking with him again!”
“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!”
“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 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 :)
About: Hi Neighbors, I am a Natural World Enthusiast looking to provide support to pets and their owners in the community. My heart is geared towards animals. I have decades worth of experience caring for dogs, cats and other small pets, from my own to friends and clients in the professional setting. My goal is to provide a sense of physical, mental, and emotional well being for your pet. I am here to help fill in the gaps in your busy schedules and be there. So whether your pal needs a hike, walk around the neighborhood, a feeding, medication dose (dogs and cats) or just a visit, I have your back. We all need movement, attention and praise, pets included. I use positive reinforcement as training method, for all pets at every stage. So whether you have a puppy with some aggression issues, a husky that needs a run, a diabetic cat, fish to be fed and admired, or an stinky old man dog that just needs to be sung to and told he's a good boy I am here to serve. I have two cats personally, they run the household and tell me what to do. They eat twice a day, get their boxes cleaned daily, and petted and played when they decide. Monday- Thursday I am available for pet visits from 10:30-2:30 and again from 5-9 pm Fridays - I am available from 10:30-1:00 for visits Weekends-vary During daycare hours I will always be in the home with your pet unless we are going on an outing together. Play, snacks, walks, songs, and naps will be provided daily. I do have two cats, who will probably stay out of the way, but cat friendly creatures are always preferred.
