“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.”
“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.”
“Ellen and John were super responsive and gave me updates on my two dogs that they kept for the weekend. They sent photos snd let me know how the dogs were doing. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. Dogs seemed very happy, that made me happy! Thanks Ellen and John!”
“Rachel is an amazing dog sitter! She was dependable and so sweet to my pup! I appreciated the thoughtful daily updates. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was loved when at Rachel’s!”
“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.”
“Very happy with my dog's stay. The carers obviously have a passion for the craft and my dog came out happy and energetic with lots of joy after her 2 night stay!”
“Donna hosted Luna for the day and has such ease with the intro of other dogs and keeping them happy. She reassured us that Luna was happy, safe and enjoying her stay! Donna goes out of her way for her clients and we so appreciate her!”
“Being our first board with our puppy we were very apprehensive. We got numerous photos from Jocelyn a day. Many including her family. Really put us at ease. Definitely would bring her back.”
“I am very pleased with my experience leaving my small dog with Susan and canine friends. She kept me updated daily with a photo and comment. She also accommodated me by feeding some special requests. Will definitely return. I feel like I’m all set with a responsible caring dog sitter. Thank you Susan !!!”
“Christine and her family were awesome with Apollo! I got daily pictures/videos and they were quick to respond to any questions I had about his stay. I will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”
“Roscoe is a rescue dog that we adopted in May this year. We were very concerned to be leaving for a vacation just 2 months later. He is such a great dog & we didn't want for him to think we were abandoning him. As soon as we met Sherri we were sure we had an answer to our prayers. We could not have found a better place for Roscoe to be. He had a wonderful week at Sherri's. We received many updates & pictures on how he was doing & never for a minute worried about him because it was obvious how much fun he was having. We enjoyed our vacation guilt free because we knew Roscoe was getting as much love & attention as we give him. Our only concern was that he might not want to come home because he had so much fun with Sherri's fur babies. ? We will be back Sherri!”

About: I absolutely love taking care of pets! Regardless of age or energy level, they will be in great hands with me. I have taken care of my cat Garbanzo since she was 6 months old and she is now almost 4! We are absolute best friends and seeing her everyday is such a joy. I also grew up with dogs of varying from small a shih tzuI to a great dane then to pitbull mixes. I have taken care of friends and families pets while they were away and it’s always something I've looked forward to. I love sending pet pictures to their owners to show they are well loved while away, and am communicative if I have any questions or concerns! I want to provide the care for your pet that I would want for mine. I currently have an open schedule while in between jobs. This means daily check-ins even a couple time per day will work for me. My calendar will be updated as that changes. I will follow instructions provided to me by the owner to ensure proper care as all pets require something different. If I have any questions I will be sure to reach out to the owner. I want the owner to feel comfortable knowing I will follow what they want for their pet.
“Meaghan was an amazing dog sitter for my high maintenance, sweet, loving beagle! She followed all my instructions and went above and beyond in taking care of my pup! She sent me updates and photos which made me reassured all was good while I was away! I will definitely be booking her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Amanda was responsive, caring, and incredibly trustworthy taking care of James and Winifred. She sent pictures and let me know of her arrival and departure. I would highly recommend her- she’s very comfortable with my rowdy dogs and they loved her immediately.”
About: I have two boy cats and one of them has experienced kidney stones. I have had to administer liquid and pill medicine many times. I maintain litter boxes daily and I always spoil my boys with the best food toys and treats. I also know how to fend off food fiends. Playtime is my favorite time I try to mix things up and provide something new for them to experience every day.
“Mariana took care of our cat while we went on vacation for 4 days. He’s a little shy but warmed up quickly to her, and seemed very content when we returned. In the past he would be very needy if we were gone for an overnight trip but he was perfectly happy, so it was clear he got a lot of attention and was well armed for. She also sent a bunch of pictures which we appreciated!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Jacksonville
“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!”
“I feel very fortunate to have found Susan to watch George for me on a weekly basis. He always gets so excited as we pull in to her driveway, and can’t wait to get out of the car and get into her house! That’s so reassuring to me. She always communicates very well, sends lots of pictures, and has taken George last minute on several occasions. I highly recommend!”

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.

“We booked a weekend trip to Syracuse and needed a last minute dog sitter. Daylin was available, flexible and accommodating. She took well care of my dogs and sent pictures too. Her backyard is spacious and secured with tall fencing. Her place was perfect for my energetic huskies. They were able to run and play all day. By the end of the day, they were tired out. I highly recommend.”
“Mariana delivered excellent care for my dog, Farley. She is well-versed and very passionate about her care. Farley is still adjusting to his new home here and I was very lucky to find Mariana as she is perfect for my dog’s needs when I have to be out of town without him. Throughout the day she sent me videos and pictures updating what they were doing and how his behavior was. This makes me feel that he’s getting the exclusive care deserved for service. I feel as though he is not only being with a sitter, but a professional tending specifically to my pup. She is knowledgeable and understanding of him, and what seems to be all pets she’s looked after. I highly suggest to contact Mariana if you ever need care for your pet. Her enthusiasm, charisma and care is unmatched. I have already rebooked and plan to do so upon her availability in the future! Woof Woof Bark, -Farley☘️🐾”

“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 :)”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ellen and John were wonderful throughout the booking, hand off and pickup process. Dale seems to have had a fabulous time with them! He was immediately comfortable and walked right off without looking back at me. I got pictures of during the day of him enjoying time outside. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“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.”
“Deborah and her daughter were amazing with my dog, Rudy! I got a lot of updates during the day, which I loved. It is such a relief knowing when your fur baby is in good hands, and you definitely get that here! They will 100% be my go-to sitters. Thank you Deborah!!”
“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 :)”

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!

“Brent was great with our goofy boxer. The midday walks have been a great way to break up the day, burn off some energy, and keep our boy engaged. Brent has been prompt, professional, and very responsive.”
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.
“Adriana was an incredible help with our nervous dog who can be a bit ~weird~ with strangers; she had our boy snuggling on the couch with her in just one weekend. She gives great updates and calmed every worry we had this weekend.”
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.
“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: 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.
“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”
About: I have had numerous pets in my care. I am an RN so I am able to give medication as needed. Will give belly scratches! I work part time as an RN . I am available for afternoon walks, bathroom breaks, dog park, vet appointments, playtime or boarding. Great love!! I have a very laid back pug who likes to sleep on the couch most of the day. She will play with your animals and make them feel at home.
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.
About: Growing up surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, and volunteering with a dog rescue where I gained invaluable experience working with a variety of breeds and personalities, I’ve dedicated my life to understanding and supporting the unique needs of our furry friends.

From morning walks to evening playtime, your fur babies become an integral part of my daily routine, ensuring they feel loved and cherished around the clock. Your peace of mind is our priority, knowing your pets are in a home where care is a daily delight. I understand that every pet has unique needs. In my home, I have a gated upstairs area that offers a peaceful retreat if your pets ever feel overwhelmed, ensuring they have a quiet space to relax. Additionally,I provide a cozy crate with luxury bedding for those who prefer a snug hideaway. Regular updates and pictures throughout the day keep you connected, offering peace of mind that your furry friends are not just cared for but also cherished. My commitment to personalized care ensures a tailored experience that meets the individual needs of each precious pet in our care. I also provide homemade dog treats and plenty of belly rubs!!

“This is my second time using Teresa and Dan and I plan to continue to use them! This was a last minute booking and Teresa was so accommodating! I’d give more stars if I could! ⭐️”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ellen and John were super responsive and gave me updates on my two dogs that they kept for the weekend. They sent photos snd let me know how the dogs were doing. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. Dogs seemed very happy, that made me happy! Thanks Ellen and John!”
“Rachel is an amazing dog sitter! She was dependable and so sweet to my pup! I appreciated the thoughtful daily updates. I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was loved when at Rachel’s!”

“Christine and her family were awesome with Apollo! I got daily pictures/videos and they were quick to respond to any questions I had about his stay. I will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!”
“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!”
“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: 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.
“Erix took in my dog for boarding with little notice. He took great care of her and sent me many pictures while I was on my work trip. Definitely recommend if you’re looking to house your animal with him.”
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 :)
“This is Zena's second time with Sam and she loved it. Sam is great with Zena. Sam is aware of Zena's triggers and needs. Zena had a full yard to hunt and play in. Sam sent videos and pictures daily and of Zenas activities and communicated in a friendly and timely manner. Zena loves hanging out with Brown Dog! Without a doubt, I will make more reservations. Thank you Sam!”
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.
