“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!”
“Did a great job watching our puppy, even handled a last minute change in medications due to a an injury the day before drop off! Happy puppy was dropped off, happy puppy was picked up! Will book again soon.”
“Took great care of my dog while out of town for a week. She has some separation anxiety and scratched a little sore on the top of her head but the communication was excellent and they cleaned her up and took necessary precautions so it didn’t get any worse. They also continue to socialize her with different dogs which we love! Came back happy as always! Definitely a safe and happy place for your dogs to stay.”
“Huijun was communicative and thoughtful in caring for my pup! I felt comfortable knowing she was well taken care of! She was also willing to care of my pup on short notice, which I was very appreciative of.”
“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.”
“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 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!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“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 dropped my sons family dog off to Teresa. I was quite nervous to leave him (Sunny). Teresa immediately put me at ease. Looking around I saw a peaceful atmosphere. Very well cared for clean property. I will always remember her kindness and will call upon her for any future needs. Thank you so much, what a great experience. Donna W.”
“Our plans fell through at the last minute for Rory and Rachel was very flexible for the stay. Rory was initially sad that we were leaving her but after just one night with Rachel and her family, Rory was sad to be leaving them. It was clear that Rachel took great care of Rory during the stay! Would recommend.”
“Donna took such wonderful care of my dog, Zoey! She sent me pictures and videos daily which helped me not to miss her as much. Normally when I pick Zoey up after being away she literally crawls up my legs to get to me, but this time she was excited to see me but I could tell she loved being at Donna’s so much that she was going to miss it!”
“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'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.
“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!”
“Lindsey was amazing with my dog, Teddy! He had such a great time on her farm — it truly felt like a little vacation for him. She took wonderful care of him and kept me updated with fantastic photos and detailed messages about how he was doing. I really appreciated the communication and felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would happily recommend Lindsey to anyone and will definitely book with her again in the future!”

“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 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!”
“Picked up my check-in request on short notice and met up the next day to go over everything and get the key. Was communicative and made sure my 9 month old cat got through the few days I was gone. Stinky Pete approved”
“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.”
“Courtney and Caleb went above and beyond our expectations! They were attentive to our instructions for each cat and took the time to stay and play with them while we were away. We received updates everyday and pictures of our cats enjoying their time with Courtney and Caleb! While this was our first time using rover, our nerves were put at ease knowing the type of care our beautiful cats were receiving. I would 100% recommend and rebook with Courtney and Caleb as they are excellent at what they do!”
“Adriana was caring, thorough, and communicative from the moment I reached out to her through the entire booking. My wife and I left town for a week and she gave us the peace of mind we needed leaving our kitties behind. We will book with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else. Thank you!”
“We absolutely love Erica. We had multiple family emergencies all at once and needed aid with the cats during a holiday week, last minute. Not only was Erica responsive to our initial needs but she was extremely accommodating as circumstances changed throughout the week. Our cats have special needs and she has easily earned their trust when administering oral/topical meds. They’re usually skittish with anyone but those who live in the house but they just love when she’s around. Can’t imagine trusting anyone else with our furry friends, and I can’t sing her praises enough. Thank you, Erica!!”
“Alison and Robert did a great job with our kitty! I loved the detailed descriptions of their visits they sent me. I felt like he was in very good hands while we were away!”
“Ginni was very easy to work with. She had great communication and sent updates and photos. When there was a question about some medication, she reached out immediately and I really appreciated how thoughtful she was in making sure my cat was getting the proper dosage. We came home to happy cats! Thank you, Ginni for allowing us to enjoy vacation knowing our cats were in great hands.”
“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.❤️”
“Jamie was such a wonderful friend to my sweet dog, Bernice. This was Bernices first time home alone for such a long stretch. And Jamie really went out of her way to comfort her. And she managed to get Bernice outside and playing. Jamie is truly the best!”
“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!”
“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!”
“I'm so happy we chose Sophia to care for our kitties! She is communicative, responsible, and very caring when interacting with our pets. I appreciated the daily videos, photos, and updates she always provided. I will definitely use her again next time I am on vacation.”

“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!”
“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!”
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.

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).
“Our puppies had a fantastic time today at daycare. They got to play with some new friends and had a great time. We loved the pictures and updates during their stay as well! We already have an overnight booked 😀”
“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.”
“Ginnie took great care of my 17 month old Mollie while we visited the NY State Fair over 2 days. Mollie is not used to staying away from us and gets sad, but Ginnie was wonderful with her. She sent frequent updates and pictures! I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities.

Please let me know what your needs are, I want their stay to be as comfortable as possible!
“Eden was amazing with Krypto for daycare. As soon as I met she and Gal, I knew that Krypto was in good hands and I felt very comfortable leaving him with them. Her communication was great and the level of care that provided is unmatched. I’m very thankful that she was able to take care of him for daycare!”
“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!!”
About: I have had many dogs over the years and have trained and cared for all ages and stages. I have experience with reactive dogs, resource guarding, post surgery care, wound care, and medication. I have medic training and am not squeamish when it comes to wounds or illnesses. Public meet ups take place at Ryder park in Dewitt or Canal Landing in Fayetteville. When requesting please provide date and times you are free to meet. I do not offer tours of my home. After a public meet up I can arrange a tour of the yard if needed. This is for safety of dogs and people. Taking a break from the 9-5 job and staying home hanging with the dogs. Have availability to take on a few more dogs due to the passing of my current clients pets. Dogs are unique with their own needs and boundaries. I have a fully fenced back yard that dogs can access using a doggy door. Each dog (or family if siblings want to be together) are booked into their own room that is set up for their specific needs. The dogs gets to decompress and given whatever space they need to be happy and relaxed. I have crates of every size if the dog needs one. I do not crate unless there is a safety concern. Dogs have free reign of the house and yard as long as I am home. If I am not home the dogs are in their rooms which are video monitored (maximum of ~4 hours). The rooms are closed off with gates so dogs have open view of hallways. I use TV or music to create background noise. Dogs do not interact without supervision and any dog introduction is done slowly and never forced. The house is large enough that should a conflict arise the dogs can be placed in separate levels of the house and not interact. When dogs stay with me I see them as my dogs and treat them as family.
“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: 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.
“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.”
“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 :)”
“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: 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: Since 2014, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family, friends, and neighbors. I’ve stayed at other’s houses and have had the pets stay at mine too. I love animals and spending time with them. I had a dog of my own who passed in 2024, and was his primary caretaker. I’ve also nannied human kids aged 8-11 for 3 years. When spending time with pets I am there to be with them and love to play, go for walks, n provide them with proper stimulation and care. I've cared for a dog that would get seizures and provided her with medication and support while she was having them. I've cared for puppies and worked on both crate and potty training with them. I've also cared for older pups that needed a bit more relaxing time or special attention if they were blind or sick. I hope you find me trustworthy to take care of your loved ones, as I will treat them as one of my own. I work from home and own a business, so am fairly flexible with time. I can work around a client’s schedule and accommodate for their pets’ needs. Currently I am available for visits. So, I can go to a clients home and be with the pet there or take them out for walks and excursions. I hope to eventually be able to provide care for dogs in my own home.
“Elizabeth took great care of our 10 month old high energy pup Willow while we were in town ! She took her on a few walks and fed her despite a lot of chaos, we would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone.”
“Adriana has been excellent! very responsive and communicative - it's been a joy to work with her and I trust her with my boy completely (an 80 lbs. 8 year old dog who loves all his smells and peeing on everything!).”
“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. :) Rate adjustments available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work around your needs and priorities. I work weekdays in downtown Syracuse. Near-by drop-ins are an option when needed. Completed first aid (for dogs and cats) courses because health and safety are always super important. I have a fenced-in yard and live next to Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place to walk! ✨
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.
“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’ve have cared for many dogs in my lifetime. I frequently house sat for friends, and family. I typically hike local parks and would love to take your best friend for a walk while I get exercise myself. I am currently walking in parks daily and would love to walk your dog while I’m getting exercise. I can provide 30 minute or hour long walks in your neighborhood or a nearby park. I typically spend more time with a dog than the typical owner. I love dogs immensely and give them my full attention when house sitting.
About: Hello! I graduated high school in 2022. During my senior year I attended the Bixhorn Technological Center for Animal Science Boces. There I learned a plethora of skills and knowledge including but not limited to, both animal behavior and phycology, as well as husbandry, nutrition, and grooming. I am trained and capable of administering insulin, as well as I have experience caring for disabled and paralyzed dogs:) I first joined rover in 2024 while attending community college on Long Island, since then I’ve worked a variety of farm jobs as well. Most recently the Suffolk county farm; there I was responsible for the care and livelihood of a variety of livestock from poultry, goats, pigs, llamas, horses, and cows. Please feel free to reach out with questions about farm help as well I would love to do it again! I stepped back from rover this past year for personal reasons, however I just transferred to SUNY ESF and would love to get back into pet care! Right now, I am attending SUNY ESF here in Syracuse NY. I am looking to explore the city and help others with needed pet care :) I am available for overnight care if contacted in advance, but I am always available for regular potty breaks, walks, and play time as needed. I have experience both coming for visits and staying in home for pet sitting,
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for roughly the last 5 years. I love how sweet and cuddly animals are and I hope you will trust me to watch yours! I currently work full time, so I am available during weekends and after 5pm! I still have plenty of time to play with your animals💗 Though I do not have any animals of my own, whenever I watch someone else’s, I treat them like I would if they were mine 💗 I keep an active eye on them and make sure they aren’t supposed to get into anything they shouldn’t be in.
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.

“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!”
“Took great care of my dog while out of town for a week. She has some separation anxiety and scratched a little sore on the top of her head but the communication was excellent and they cleaned her up and took necessary precautions so it didn’t get any worse. They also continue to socialize her with different dogs which we love! Came back happy as always! Definitely a safe and happy place for your dogs to stay.”
“Huijun was communicative and thoughtful in caring for my pup! I felt comfortable knowing she was well taken care of! She was also willing to care of my pup on short notice, which I was very appreciative of.”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“I dropped my sons family dog off to Teresa. I was quite nervous to leave him (Sunny). Teresa immediately put me at ease. Looking around I saw a peaceful atmosphere. Very well cared for clean property. I will always remember her kindness and will call upon her for any future needs. Thank you so much, what a great experience. Donna W.”
“Our plans fell through at the last minute for Rory and Rachel was very flexible for the stay. Rory was initially sad that we were leaving her but after just one night with Rachel and her family, Rory was sad to be leaving them. It was clear that Rachel took great care of Rory during the stay! Would recommend.”
“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.”
“Lindsey was amazing with my dog, Teddy! He had such a great time on her farm — it truly felt like a little vacation for him. She took wonderful care of him and kept me updated with fantastic photos and detailed messages about how he was doing. I really appreciated the communication and felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I would happily recommend Lindsey to anyone and will definitely book with her again 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.
“Thomas had our 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd Tobie for a weekend and was absolutely amazing with him! He communicated with us, sent pictures & updates daily. Tobie now has a home away from home when we travel. We will be definitely using him again. Thank you Thomas for loving our fur baby as much as we do!”
“11/10. My dog had such a great time with Jose, it’s like she’s the one who had a vacation! Jose is extremely good about communicating and sending pictures, and it was a really nice experience to receive updates throughout my dog’s stay without needing to prompt for them. My dog had ample space to get her energy out, and with an additional bonus of having an active sitter to do activities with, there was never a doubt that she was receiving anything less than the care I’d provide her at home. I recommend Jose to anyone looking for a reliable sitter, a comfortable stay for their pet(s), and peace of mind—my dog is certainly looking forward to another stay!”
“Sam was incredibly patient with Zena! Zena was triggered by the fireworks, Sam communicated everyday with me about helping Zena to regulate her emotions, she helped soothe her, provide Zena with the space she needed to calm down. I appreciate the picture and video and feed back on how to help Zena once we pick her up. Zena was well cared for, had her own clean room to roam in and a large hard to play in all this helped reduce my anxiety about leaving her. Over all Sam was knowledge about dog breeds and understands how to work with strong-willed shibas. Definitely recommend.”
“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!!!”
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.
“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!!”
“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!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful in watching my two pups! She is obviously incredibly knowledgeable about all sorts of dog care and was great at watching both a giant hyperactive puppy and my older more mellow girl who needs regular medications. She sent so many updates and pictures during their stay so I always felt informed and up to date on their day! Ashley was so respectful of my wishes with them and made sure to check with me about treats, bath products, and extra activities. She took my one dog running with her regularly, which he loves, and gave my lazy cuddle bug lots of snuggles and couch time! The dogs clearly got so much love from her entire family and I felt so assured that they were in capable and loving hands! Ashley asked questions when she had them and followed my feeding and medication instructions to a T! She was also so sensitive about making sure both dogs felt comfortable and making sure they were in a safe and secure environment on their terms! Both my pups were so happy looking in all their pics and were excited on pick up-I could tell they had a great time! I’m no stranger to dog sitters and doggie daycare and honestly, Ashley is one of the best I’ve found so far and I can’t wait for my pack to spend time with Ashley and her wonderful family again! She’s got a new regular!”
