“My little one had such a great experience with Polina. She was very kind and her family was welcoming. Throughout the stay, I was updated and sent photos. I will definitely work with her in future.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Mary was the perfect match for our elderly dog: she is patient and caring. Mary has her home and yard set up for every dog's optimal comfort, which we especially appreciated since our dog has arthritis. Ella, our 15 year-old papillon, loved her!”
“Georgianne was so responsive and easy to work with. She handled both of my cats with ease and was just an overall wonderful person. I would definitely recommend 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.”
“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!!!”
“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!!”
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.
“Donna took wonderful care of my senior dog with medical issues. She was understanding, and very communicative, sending updates 2-3 per day, with multiple pics daily. I could relax on a family trip knowing my pup was well cared for.”
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.
“Thank youuuu for taking such good care of our sweet Kenya!!! Thank you for all the love you gave to her, the walks and games, the photos and detailed updates. We could tell she had a blast the whole time she was with you guys 🥹💕”
“Racheal demonstrated exceptional accommodating behavior towards Arlo’s requirements. Her service was highly satisfactory, and Arlo appeared content and well-cared for.”
“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.”
“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!”

“Second time we have used Ashley and she was great again! O time and responsive, we got daily updates and photos. Best of all she gave our kitty lots of love while we were gone and he was a happy guy!”
“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!!”
“Erica was wonderful with my pets and I'm so thankful she was able to take the offer at such short notice because of a change in plans. I appreciated all of the updates and the abundant amount of photos for every check in!”
“Susan did a wonderful job dropping in for our cat while we were gone. Utterly reliable and caring, she fed, watered, and played with our cat, dealt with a slightly complicated litter box situation, sent us detailed check ins and lovely photos. We will absolutely reach out to her again in future and wholeheartedly recommend her to others. Our cat was in great hands with Susan. We, and our cat, say a huge "Thank you, Susan!"”
“Juliette was amazing again for both of our dogs while we were working/ away. We trust her as she takes great care of them and great care of our house! Would definitely recommend Juliette to anyone!”
“This was my first time getting a cat sitter and Adam did his thing. Definitely a 10/10 my cats went from saying who this man to heeeey friend and that itself says a lot! Thank you ssooooooo much!”
“Amanda did a great job with my fur babies! Already rebooked for my next trip. Great with communication and quick responses when ask for her availability. Thank you for the great service.❤️”
“Kristin has been absolutely amazing with all our cats, and always goes above and beyond. It’s so important that I know my cats are in good hands while we’re away from them. I could not recommend her more.”
“Jaime wa phenomenal! She took such amazing car of my kitties and followed directions perfectly! She is welcome anytime in our home! She has made 3 new best friends with my kitties heheh. She sent the best pictures daily! I'm so thankful for her! Thank you Jamie!”
“Adriana was a lifesaver when we needed someone we could trust to watch our babies while we were away for our wedding. She was very gentle and patient with our cats who have specific needs. She did everything we asked and we will be hiring her again for our next trip!”
“I’m beyond happy with Allison and Rob. I was really nervous about picking a sitter for my young Devon Rex cat. I decided to have her boarded with Allison and Rob for a short trip. They were amazing with her. They got her to relax and bonded with her so well! I was able to completely relax and enjoy my time away. I’m so happy we made this connection. They will be my go-to for life!!”
“Zuhal is the easily the best sitter I’ve dealt with. She’s been my go-to for about a year now and she’s always been patient, professional, and caring. For example, one time I stupidly forgot to leave my keys for her so she could enter and she was patient enough to wait at my residence until someone could drop off the keys. If you have any doubts about finding a reliable pet-sitter, then you’ve found the right one with Zuhal.”
“Ciarra did a great job taking care of Cleo!! She responded right away after our Rover request. Ciarra did drop ins for our elderly cat that needed medications while we were on vacation. We appreciated her willingness to provide the meds for our beloved Cleopatra. Ciarra is sweet, professional and efficient. Would recommend her for a trusted animal caretaker.”
“This was my first time using rover but my usual cat sitters were all unavailable and one of my cats, Jackson, had ruptured his ear drum two days prior to a pre-planned vacation so I decided to give it a try. I was a little nervous about using rover and leaving my kitties, but after reading Ginnie’s profile and connecting with her I felt at ease. She took a great care of my three fur babies, checking in on them twice a day and giving Jackson his antibiotics. When I came back he was like a new cat! I appreciated the video call prior to the visits and the pictures and messages while I was away. I felt like I could trust Ginnie and that my cats were being well cared for. Would definitely recommend and will definitely keep Ginnie in mind for future let sitting needs!”
“Morgan was AMAZING!!! She watched my two bunnies while I went on vacation and I think they like her more than me. I have never seen my bunnies more happy! Morgan was the first person (not a family member) who watched them and I will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Meghan handled the visits and my cats excellently. I came home to two contented cats and knowing I was coming back at the end of the evening, Meghan cleaned up so I wouldn't have to. What a wonderful surprise. I was so grateful. I will ask her again to visit my cats.”

“Susan had been watching our dog, Ivy, since she was a puppy and I can’t say enough about how much love and care she has received. Susan treats Ivy like her very own and showers her with affection. Whether it’s for a day or a week’s stay, I highly recommend her!”
“Our 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!”
“Suanny took good care of our furry girl and was flexible and responsive with drop off and pick up. Brownie was very happy and calm at pick up. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! My name is Maytte, and caring for animals has been part of my life since I was a child. I grew up helping my father care for different kinds of animals on our family farm, which taught me patience, responsibility, and genuine love for pets. Your dog will be treated like a member of my own family. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and safe. I offer a clean, calm, and loving home where your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular potty breaks. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time. I also have two friendly dogs who are gentle and enjoy meeting new furry friends. If your dog prefers their own space, I can accommodate that as well. I will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervised care throughout the day. I offer boarding in my home and will do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore under supervision. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I also have two friendly dogs who enjoy meeting new friends, but if your dog prefers their own space, I can easily separate them. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any special needs. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Tofu got to spend time with Brent—booked last minute for a forgotten work meeting—and even went for a ride in the car! She came home safe, clean, and happy. We absolutely trust Brent with our girl!”
“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 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’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.
“Ginnie was fabulous! We were in the area for a wedding and she watched our pup for the day so we could enjoy the festivities. She was very helpful and responsive in preparation for the day. Our pup had an awesome time playing with her dogs in her lovely yard, and she sent us updates throughout the day. We would definitely leave our fur baby in Ginnie’s care again!”
“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!!”
About: I have operated a pet sitting biz for 20 plus years in central NY. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and groom their pets. I am semi retired and available everyday anytime of the day to care for your dogs, cats in my home or yours, so you can get away without a worry. Its quiet and calm here for the young, old or nervous ones. I have Sabrina and Ziggy that are always friendly and reassuring. I have 2 friendly labs. I have lots of time to devote. Big fenced yard, we go for plenty of walks or just snuggle on the couch. I have a life long love for dogs, cats and horses. Your pet will be welcome in my non smoking, clean home or happy to house sit also. Whichever is better for you and your pets(s).

“My little dog, Honeybun, has separation anxiety. Leidy was so patient and kind that it put Honeybun right at ease. I definitely recommend Leidy and will be using her for doggy daycare in the future.”
“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 :)”

“Kaylah is awesome!! She is so kind to my dog, and he was instantly comfortable around her! She is timely, keeps you informed, professional, and all around reliable! Both me and my dog think she’s the best!”
About: I have a dog and 2 cats of my own so I consider myself experienced in pet care. I have dog sat for many years now for both neighbors and family. Since I have owned many cats over the years I also consider myself experienced in cat care. I don’t mind cleaning up after pets and I can give medicine to unwilling pets. I don’t currently have a job so I my schedule is very flexible. I also don’t mind getting up early if necessary for your pet. I have a fenced backyard and my pets are friendly. I can easily crate your pet if that’s what they’re used to. I can also come to your house to take them out and give them plenty of love.
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.
“This dog walk was part of a weekend stay. Alyssa was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, Nico, while I was away. She was kind and gentle with Nico. She was always available and communicated with me timely. I’m so grateful for her help. Highly recommended!”
“Kristen has been a huge help with my 9 month old golden retriever. She has been flexible with her schedule and great with communication. She is very friendly and Winnie enjoyed greeting her at the door for a daily walk. Highly recommend.”
“Candy was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She was incredibly punctual and brave enough to come out even in the bitter cold, which we really appreciated. I was especially impressed by how she connected with our new rescue; she was empathetic, patient, and really understood what our pup needed. We will definitely be asking for her time again in the future. Overall, a great experience!”
About: I have pet sat for neighbors and family friends for years and for long periods of time. I have taken care of dogs, cats, guinea pigs and fish. I also have experience working with reptiles and snakes as an intern for an environment education center. I took care of a box turtle, corn snake, and painted turtle. I am in college full time but am willing to watch or stop by when I am not currently taking a class. I am a junior at SUNY ESF. And have a relatively light schedule that would allow me to dedicate hours to your pet if needed. As I live in an apartment I do not have any pets nor can I board pets. However, I have my own car so I can travel to take care of pets. If you wish to have overnight care I can stay on a couch or blow up mattress by your pet for safe company.

About: I am a big animal lover, former dog/ guinea pig owner, former Rosamond Gifford Zoo volunteer, and experienced dog sitter. I'm patient and love to care for any animal! I take caregiver instructions seriously and carry them out to the best of my abilities. I'm easy to contact and will give daily reports if desired. I'm currently looking for a full time job so I have a lot of free time to use for any pet sitting jobs! I am available to do day/night visits but I am not available for overnights. I will follow any caregiver instruction given and house rules if there are any to note. Being respectful of another person's space and pets is very important to me.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I’ve had family fur babies since I was young. I learned at an early age the responsibility it takes to love and care for your pets. I prefer to come to your home where you and your pets are most comfortable. I’m qualified to care for pets varying in age, from pup/kitten to senior care. I’m an extremely trustworthy, loyal, responsible, clean, fun and loving person who just wants to help people when they are in need and what better way to do that than to love on their fur babies when life gets busy! I have a fairly flexible schedule. I work from home three days a week (most weeks) Typically, Monday, Wednesday and Friday (In office Tuesday and Thursday). I will do my best to make a schedule that works for all of us! I will care for your pets however you prefer. I would like to do meet and greets to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable as well as myself. I can fine tune the details once the client and I agree that we are a match!
“Lory was amazing. We have only had Clover for a week and were pretty hesitant about having a stranger come to our house and take care of our new puppy. She was nothing but compassionate and professional. We met before the service so we could all meet and get comfortable. We will definitely be seeing more of her and would recommend her.”
About: Hello, Peewee here to tell you more about my mom. She had a family dog and then just one of her own before me but she's pretty great! She has experience giving me different medicines and following strict diets when I get sick. I completed a puppy course and even got a certificate with my picture on it. My mom still makes me and all of my friends follow the rules but we have lots of fun! She isn't always that busy, we are together most of the time! And the good thing is that when she leaves, she usually takes me with her! Please send any and all requests so that she can go through them all and see if we can work something out. We live in a house with really big yard that is fully fenced in. Most of the time I like to just lay on the deck and sunbathe but when I get a little hyper, she's either playing with me or we go to the dog park, on playdates with other dog friends, and on hikes (my favorite). *Please know that if your furbaby is anything like me, they are always welcomed anywhere we might go and I'd love to interact with them any time! **If your furbaby doesn't get along well with others, no problem, my mom will just leave me home and I will watch our house!
About: Growing up my family owned a dog as well as a cat, and I helped tend to the care of both animals in the home. I believe that having this responsibility engraved in me from a young age has helped shape me to be a solid pet care taker now. I was able to experience first hand the changes in a pets life as they age, both behaviorally and physically. I also have taken care of friends and family’s pets in their homes while they are away, most owning multiple types of pets from dogs, cats, and even bearded dragons. I currently work a full-time job at a bakery. My shifts/days off would be: Tuesday-Friday 4am-2pm Saturday-Sunday open availability For any overnight sitting needs, I will probably do best with an owner looking for a weekend sitter as my 10hr shifts can be a long time away from the home. On the other hand, for any drop in visits or walks I am free after I get out of work at 2pm to assist in any late afternoon care! As well as my open availability on the weekends I can not unfortunately offer to care for pets in my own home, as it is unfenced and has a cat residing that does best as a single pet. This is something I can recognize, so it is best that I come to the clients home. A pet communicates with people in so many ways, and the best way to create a safe environment for both you and the pet is to understand those behaviors. I have a good understanding of reading an animal and when boundaries are being set, whether they are done with play time and need space, or need some extra attention. Any pet care details left by the owner, I follow very closely to give the pet the closest experience they can get to a typical day in the home with the owner.
“Taylor has been walking the dogs for the past couple days now and they really seem to enjoy it! When she came for the meet and greet they both absolutely loved her! She probably got more dog kisses then she wanted! I highly recommend Taylor!”

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.
“Racheal demonstrated exceptional accommodating behavior towards Arlo’s requirements. Her service was highly satisfactory, and Arlo appeared content and well-cared for.”
“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.”
“Alyssa lived on our Frenchie Vivian for 8 days! I was pretty devastated leaving her but Alyssa was wonderful and Viví bonded well. If you know a 1yr old Frenchie you know they can be a handful”
“Really great experience with Brent! I was worried, because my boy Bruce isn't always a fan of other dogs and takes a minute to get acclimated to a new space, but Brent went above and beyond to make him more comfortable for the stay. Brent's communication was stellar and he is excellent about pickup/drop off flexibility. Will definitely board with him again!”
“Thomas was amazing with our two pups. He's fully invested and cares so deeply about their well-being. We never had any reservations about their week long stay with him. His updates and pictures were so helpful. It put our minds at ease to know they were happy and well cared for while we were away.”
“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!”
“My dog had such a wonderful time!! Ashley is amazing she sent cute pictures all night when she had him and kept me updated on how he was doing. He played and played with the other pups she was boarding at the time and we definitely be rebooking with her next time we need to go somewhere ??❤️❤️”
“Thank you again Erix! In town for family weekend and Erix was able to accommodate us at the last minute. Erix said our Coco is awesome and we think Erix is awesome too!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with how Ginnie handled and took care of Maggie for us. Maggie seemed very comfortable at Ginnie’s and that made us feel like we made the correct decision. Great experience all around!”
“Great communication and were nice enough to take Duke last minute! They sent tons of pics and it seemed like Duke was very comfortable there! Would use their services again!”
“Margaret was Sooo amazing! Last minute bookingand a new to being boarded kitty. It was great I got to learn how my kitty would respond in such a healthy environment.”
“Roro loved her “vacation” at Teresa’s home! Teresa is very responsive and flexible. Both me and Roro had a great experience with the service. I will definitely rebook in the future if needed.”
“Jaclyn took such good care of my dog Lily while I attended Biscoland music festival. She sent me frequent photos and updates about how Lily was doing. She understood my dog has some food aggression and she accommodated her by feeding her separately and supervising her during meals. She also helped care for an eye injury that Lily had sustained a few days prior. I highly recommend Jaclyn’s dog sitting services to anyone looking for peace of mind. Thank you for all your help and clear communication, Jaclyn! I will definitely call you next time I am in the area and need dog sitting!”
“Our puppy had a wonderful time and was well cared for the entire we were gone. Lindsay gave us daily updates and answers messages quickly. You can tell Lindsay has a passion for dogs and animals.”
