“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!”
“Raven seemed to really enjoy her time here! Mike & Ellen had no problem giving her some meds, giving her lots of attention, and sending updates & photos to ease our minds about leaving her. She made some few furry friends too & we'll definitely use them again!”
“Polina is a nice intelligent person. I highly recommend her. I left my puppy for 9 nights and Polina kept in touch all the time about how my puppy is and what my puppy is doing. She really takes good care of my puppy, by walking him every 3 hours and feeding him as I asked her to. When I came to pick the puppy up, I found that the puppy was very happy, vitally joyful, and very active.”
“Teresa was very accommodating with a late booking and was wonderful with Wesley. I hate leaving my little guy but it's nice to know when he is in good care. Thank you Teresa!”
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.
“Eden & Gal are fantastic! They are organized and experienced, and our pup was happy and well cared for. The communication before and during our trip was excellent and clear. We felt at ease leaving our dog with them for an extended trip and will definitely book with them again!”
“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.”
“Ashley and Brian took such good care of our pup! This was his first time staying with a sitter and it was so nice to know we could completely trust that he would not only be safe and cared for, but also have fun and get lots of love from their family! Thank you for everything- Frankie can’t wait until next time :)”
“Chelsea is a great petsitter. It has all the qualities we seek when we leave our pets with someone. I want to thank Chelsea and her family very much for taking such good care of my little one! Thank you!”
About: I'm an enthusiastic dog walker and sitter that has a passion for dogs and rescuing them. I have been involved in dog rescue and fostering in the Syracuse area for a number of years. I've cared for a number of my own dogs and cats from young to seniors. I've also been a foster parent to a number of dogs when rescues needed someone. I can handle the most challenging of dogs down to little babies and everything in between. Your dog will get plenty of love and attention when I'm around! I give all dogs the same love and affection I would give my own dog and see the importance of cuddle and buddy time along with good exercise. I show confidence when I'm with a dog so that they know there is trust with me from the beginning. I currently work part time, so have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I am always available after 3:00 p.m. during the week, before 8:00 a.m. or anytime on the weekends. I've got a very pet friendly home. I live in a single story, ranch house that has a fully fenced back yard. I do not have children at home that we would need to worry about and I'm very respectful if needed to go into a client's home. Safety and security are always at the forefront.
“My dog loves staying with Irina & her family! Irina is so nice, and I can tell my dog is treated great while I'm out of town. He gets exercise and attention, and she'll send pictures too! Thanks again!”
“Elayeshia took amazing care of Oreo. She was amazing at giving me updates throughout coupled with very cute photos of his stay. Oreo had such a great time at her place that when he came back i could see he was tired from a weekend of nonstop playing with her dogs :)”
“Arya was wonderful with our Dia. He kept us updated each day which gave us peace of mind that our Dia was taken care of. He regularly walked her and was as some would say a doggie whisperer as she doesn’t like many people but took to Arya right away. Next vacation or even just a daily getaway, I would highly recommend using Arya.”
“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”
“Debbie welcomed our 100-lb Bernedoodle into her home at the last minute and with open arms. She and her husband have such an easy, lovely way about them. Bruce was immediately enamored (so were we). The level of care and attention was high. This was a great place for dogs — so much outdoor space ! Debbie was communicative and thoughtful. We will definitely call her again and recommend her to friends around skaneateles!”
“Georgianne was a great sitter and our puppy had a fantastic time with her. She has a big yard and a friendly dog perfect for playing. We would definitely hire her to watch our dog again!”
“Ohmygosh how fortunate that we happened upon Amanda, what a wonderful experience for us, as well as for our 5 month old youngster "AmberBock". This is our first time ever using a service of this sort to provide alternative options for boarding. Amanda went far beyond to accommodate our needs, and did more than required, or what we had agreed. We where gone for a week, during this time we where kept update by events and followed up with photos. Amanda is always accessible and gracious. Our puppy learned how to use a doggie door...excited! I highly recommend Amanda and would use her services again. Thank you Amanda for be AWESOME...the Wilson's”

“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!”
“Adriana provided thoughtful summaries after each visit that always reassured me that my cats were happy and in great hands. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Anastasia is an outstanding sitter who was available on short notice and was able to care for Stanley very well. He can be a difficult cat but she won him over despite some very loud meowy protests. Would recommend to anyone for cat care”
“We could not ask for a better person to help care for our dogs !!! Joey was excellent with all three of them and completely trustworthy. I would absolutely leave him with our dogs at any time !!!!!!”
“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.”
“Alyssa did a wonderful job with Chicken!! -- especially given her special needs. I appreciate the communication and pictures/videos that Alyssa sent. Given that Chicken is an older cat and has some vision issues, it was nice to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you Alyssa!!!”
“Kristin was thoughtful and gave me cute updates with pictures everyday! She took great care of my cat and always made sure she was well-fed and had fresh water. My cat also loved her! I would trust her to take care of my cat anytime I need.”
“Amanda was a fantastic cat sitter! We had her do drop-ins twice a day for 5 days while we were away. She met with us and our cats beforehand to learn their routines and the information she needed to know. During the visits she was on time, reliable, and great with the cats. She was able to administer medicine properly and really took the time to give them the love and affection they needed. We could not recommend Amanda more!”
“My cat felt safe interacting and snuggling up to John within minutes of first meeting him, and I think it’s because of John’s calm, intentional, gentle presence and demeanor. I couldn’t believe this is his first time cat-sitting because he was so good with my cat. He was quick to respond and was communicative throughout the visits, and asked many questions to get to know my cat’s routines and preferences. John was so polite and easygoing. He went above and beyond caring for my cat for the weekend, and this was a last minute scheduling given last minute plans. So grateful for John.”
“Amazing pet sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my baby. I got regular updates and could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”
“He did a fantastic job of taking care of our girls while we were gone. They were fed, watered, played with, and poops cleaned up. We came home to some very happy cats.”
“Brent was reliable and timely with his check ins and updates while dropping in to feed and check on my cat. Happy to know someone was giving her attention while I was away! Would recommend. ?”
“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”

“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!”

“Bruno absolutely loves to see Eden and have her stay and care for him. He is a very active Border Collie so he totally enjoys going on several walks with her. Eden understands his needs and cares for him with great enthusiasm.”
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.
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.
“Christalle is the best! She watched my pup during the work day and was so attentive to him. He had so many walks and play sessions and was truly tired at the end of the day… which is hard to do with such a high energy little guy. She was patient with my schedule and clearly loves animals.”
“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. 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).
“Irina is an outstanding dog sitter and a wonderful presence in our neighborhood. She is highly professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs of all temperaments. She took excellent care of our newly adopted dog, who can be anxious and uncertain when we are away. Irina was patient, attentive, and reassuring, which made a noticeable difference in our dog’s comfort and confidence. When we returned, our dog was calm, content, and clearly well cared for. We would not hesitate to recommend Irina to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“First time using Rover, but have used other dogsitters before. Staci was very welcoming, kind, and confident in watching our elderly dachshund and all his little quirks. You can tell she has had plenty of experience, and I left for the day knowing our little nugget was in good hands. I look forward to the next time.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Alexander has been AMAZING! He works with my dog on the training I have been working on such as exposure, interactions and sitting. My dog is a very high energy, one year old lab. Alexander tailors the activities on a daily basis to what my dog’s needs and activity level so every day is a positive experience for Baxter. He sends progress updates during the day and shares information daily. Baxter loves spending time with Alexander and I know when he is with him Baxter is safe and being properly cared for. I would recommend his services to everyone!”
“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.”
“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.”

About: The last few years I've provided an array of services for dog sitting, walking, weekly stays and occasionally drop in visits. From Danes to Chihuahua's I'm certain I can give your pup the love, patience, care and energy (high or low depending on the pup) that they need to live happy, comfortable and confident lives. I've taken care of an array of animals since I was a kid from hamsters to dogs to little frogs! I currently have a 2.5 year old Australian Cattle Dog mix who I've worked with through several training classes. I'm happy to help and follow through with current trainings you are working with your pup on while I interact with them. I'm able to remove ticks and have a first aid kit always on had and a base medicinal understanding and can administer medication if needed. I'm also doggy and human first aid certified (American Red Cross). If your pup is spayed/neutered, vaccinated and well socialized (or needs a little nudge and isnt aggressive or reactive) I'd be happy to take them to a dog park with or without my pup Luna. Does your dog have a special diet? Bon appetit, I'll be sure to get them their right food at the right time! Senior dogs need love too, I'll be patient and we can take a nice and easy stroll or take a little car ride! Speaking of, I have room in my subaru for any transportation your pup may ever need (including a doggy seatbelt). Overall, I'm flexible and want to help you and your pup have a happy life! I am currently employed but my schedule is very inconsistent at this time so reach out for availability checks and I can work with you! I'm very flexible in my scheduling. Right now I do not have the capacity for boarding or keeping any dogs besides my own at my current residence. Here we have a large yard with room for our pups to run and their recall work has been going well. Dogs can be on the furniture minus the kitchen table! We also have a large basement with room to run there too. In your home, I follow your rules and will respect your privacy. Please inform me of any specific requirements in your home or anything I should be aware of. I will act professionally and respectfully, just like I would ask someone if they were entering my home. I am flexible so just let me know of anything and I can adapt!
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.
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.

“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!”
“Raven seemed to really enjoy her time here! Mike & Ellen had no problem giving her some meds, giving her lots of attention, and sending updates & photos to ease our minds about leaving her. She made some few furry friends too & we'll definitely use them again!”
“Teresa was very accommodating with a late booking and was wonderful with Wesley. I hate leaving my little guy but it's nice to know when he is in good care. Thank you Teresa!”
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.
“Ashley and Brian took such good care of our pup! This was his first time staying with a sitter and it was so nice to know we could completely trust that he would not only be safe and cared for, but also have fun and get lots of love from their family! Thank you for everything- Frankie can’t wait until next time :)”
“Chelsea is a great petsitter. It has all the qualities we seek when we leave our pets with someone. I want to thank Chelsea and her family very much for taking such good care of my little one! Thank you!”
“My dog loves staying with Irina & her family! Irina is so nice, and I can tell my dog is treated great while I'm out of town. He gets exercise and attention, and she'll send pictures too! Thanks again!”
“Elayeshia took amazing care of Oreo. She was amazing at giving me updates throughout coupled with very cute photos of his stay. Oreo had such a great time at her place that when he came back i could see he was tired from a weekend of nonstop playing with her dogs :)”
“Arya was wonderful with our Dia. He kept us updated each day which gave us peace of mind that our Dia was taken care of. He regularly walked her and was as some would say a doggie whisperer as she doesn’t like many people but took to Arya right away. Next vacation or even just a daily getaway, I would highly recommend using Arya.”
“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”
“Debbie welcomed our 100-lb Bernedoodle into her home at the last minute and with open arms. She and her husband have such an easy, lovely way about them. Bruce was immediately enamored (so were we). The level of care and attention was high. This was a great place for dogs — so much outdoor space ! Debbie was communicative and thoughtful. We will definitely call her again and recommend her to friends around skaneateles!”
“Ohmygosh how fortunate that we happened upon Amanda, what a wonderful experience for us, as well as for our 5 month old youngster "AmberBock". This is our first time ever using a service of this sort to provide alternative options for boarding. Amanda went far beyond to accommodate our needs, and did more than required, or what we had agreed. We where gone for a week, during this time we where kept update by events and followed up with photos. Amanda is always accessible and gracious. Our puppy learned how to use a doggie door...excited! I highly recommend Amanda and would use her services again. Thank you Amanda for be AWESOME...the Wilson's”
“Ginger had such a good time - she couldn’t decide if she wanted to stay or come home! Wonderful family, home, and care. Flexible sitters. Will return!”
“Lindsey is a great dog sitter! I wasn't able to have my dog Zoe with me for Christmas this year, so she got to spend it with Lindsey and her family. Zoe was right at home there on "the farm" and really enjoyed being part of the family. She made some new friends with the chickens and horses and Lindsey's two dogs who were very friendly with Zoe. I highly recommend Lindsey if you have a dog who likes to be social and likes small children and other animals. Thank you Lindsey for taking such good care of my girl!”
“We ended up needing a sitter at the last minute, and Matt & Ashley were happy to help. Our Brynlee was very happy & we got lots of pics & texts with updates. We will definitely use them again!!”
