Highly-rated overnight sitters - Solvay
“My second time boarding with Polina and it was excellent as always! She is kind and tires out the dogs with walks. I know my pup will come back tired and happy after staying with her.”
“Wonderfully attentive with Bella's care, feeding and meds. She has a wonderful pet friendly home with nice large fenced grassy yard for roaming and exploring. We will definitely be back. Thank you.”
“Georgianne was wonderful for my dog Vera! It was my first time using Rover so I was very nervous but she did a wonderful job responding to me when I asked for updates and sent me photos and videos. My dog was very comfortable with her and loved her backyard! I would have Georgianne watch my dog again :)”
“Yakelin has been a super lovely and caring dog sitter for my fur baby, Tonton. She and her family all shared a lot of love and care for my dog. We appreciate their attention to my dog’s medical conditions, and frequent updates with videos and pictures. The love and warmth we received from her and family is highly appreciated!”
“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.”
“We had an excellent experience with Huijun and her husband! They were very communicative throughout our dog's stay and even went above and beyond to treat and mitigate the ear mites she developed while she was there. They have a beautiful house and fenced in yard. I would definitely recommend them to anyone!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Rachel was easy to communicate with and very flexible when our plans changed. Emma loved being at her home with her dog and kids. I think Emma enjoyed herself just as much as we did on our trip. We would definitely use Rachel’s services 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.”
“Donna clearly loved on, interacted with, and cared extremely well for our dog. The videos were especially great as we could see our girl was not stressed at all and in fact was having the time of her life! I deemed this week her “Summer Camp” and wondered if she’d actually want to leave when we picked her up ;). Donna communicated frequently with pics and videos daily, which brought us joy and comfort; even continuing the day we were scheduled to pick her up. She went above and beyond and even sent her home with a new toy that she favored over her own ‘binky’ we sent with her. Actually looking forward to the next time Lexi gets to stay with her.”
“Christine and Matthew were great! We were a little nervous about boarding our pup because he hadn’t been with people he didn’t know in ages, but they welcomed him in and gave him lots of love! Christine was extremely responsive and kept in touch to let us know how things were going and help alleviate our concerns.”
“Lisa was amazing from the moment I met her until the day I picked up my dog. She kept me informed about my dog throughout the day and sent me photos. She is very nice and I know my dog was in good hands the entire time we were gone. I highly recommend her!”
“Maytte is a gem! We have two very shy dogs and weren’t sure how they would do staying with a new person. They loved her and warmed up to her at the meet and greet we set up. It made going away much easier. Maytte sent updates every day, with pictures and videos of the dogs. We could tell they were loved and well cared for. Maytte went above and beyond, buying them each a harness for walks and new toys. We’ve already booked her for our next trip.”
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.
“Staci took good care of my Bella while I was away for two weeks. She always responded promptly to my messages, and sent photos every few days to update me with Bella’s activities. Thanks Staci!”

I’m so grateful and would absolutely trust Julie with Romina again.”

They will be my go-to for life!!”
“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.”

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 are available based on financial need. 😊 I am flexible on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Happy to work around your needs. I work in downtown Syracuse, so I can help with mid-day potty breaks for pets who live in Syracuse when needed. I have a fenced-in yard and live right across from Woodland Reservoir, a terrific place for walks if your pet needs to stay with me. I'm also happy to stay at clients' homes.
“Jamie has been stellar w/ my challenging pitbull! I've noticed a positive change in his overall temperament since she became part of his care team. She is easy to work with and schedule. Definitely recommend.”
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.

About: I have always been an animal lover, caring for dogs and cats of all ages and size since middle school. I’ve never met an animal I didn’t like! I’ve even helped rescue cats and kittens, so I have some experience with that. I work for myself as a speech pathologist so I make my own schedule weekly, making it very easy for me to accommodate needs for your animal! I truly believe that animals can sense when people will treat them right- all animals appear to sense this about me and can trust me.
“Isaiah is an amazing dog walker!! He is very friendly and super reliable! I never had to worry about my dog not being well taken care of. I can’t say I’ve felt the same with other dog walkers we have used. Goose also loves him and enjoys their walks! I would highly recommend him!”
“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.”
“Morgan was excellent! She came through for me when I needed a back up walker ASAP. Once booked Morgan have up her free time before the first scheduled walk to meet me and my pup. Every walk she texted me many pictures and updates in addition to the Rover requirements. Morgan is an animal person and is especially great with my dog and cat too! I highly recommend Morgan for any of your pet's needs 🐶 😺”
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life. I previously owned a pit bull and a bullmastiff. I love the company of animals so it would be my pleasure to take care of your dog. I have a 15 year old son who is also a dog lover and very responsible. I live near the Erie Canal and love to walk the trails with furry friends. I minimally train if needed although I’m not certified. I am currently not working so your pup will get plenty of love and attention. I may leave the house for a few hours a day but that’s all. I let them hang out on my main floor where couches and beds are all pet friendly. I have a large picture window they love to people/dog watch from. I have a fenced back yard for potty breaks and will walk them around my circle or at the canal for exercise. I take multiple dogs at a time and when I have more than one dog I adjust to their individual needs and separate if need be. I have 2 spare bedrooms set up very comfortably just for dogs if that is the case and everyone gets their fair share of attention☺️

About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me and remains one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I currently have my own dog, who I adopted as a puppy while I was in college and is now 4 years old. Raising her has given me experience with training, building routines, and understanding different stages of a dog’s development. I’m comfortable administering medication, brushing and bathing, handling anxious behaviors, and keeping pets on their regular care schedules. I also have experience walking dogs that pull and can confidently handle strong or high-energy pups while keeping walks safe and structured. Whether your pet needs active playtime, consistent routines, or gentle care and attention, I’m patient and attentive, and I treat every pet like my own. As a current medical student, I understand the importance of flexibility and prioritizing a pet's needs. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and dependable. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I am excited to learn about your pet's unique personality and am more than happy to accommodate any specific requests. As a medical student, my schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to thoughtfully plan pet care into my daily and weekly routine. While there are periods of time when I am less available, I’m committed to clear communication about my availability and will always work to accommodate your pet’s needs as best as possible. Time management is extremely important to my academic program, and I bring that same organization, dependability, and attention to detail to pet care. I take pride in my work and practice compassionate, attentive care in everything I do. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and value the trust you place in me to care for them. In my home, I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I currently live in an apartment located directly across the street from a dog park with both large and small dog areas, which allows for convenient, safe, and appropriate exercise based on your dog’s size and temperament. The neighborhood is safe and very pet-friendly. I’m attentive to maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care needs. I make sure pets receive both physical activity and plenty of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize consistency and respect for your space. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and maintain your pet’s usual routine to minimize stress. I’m also willing to travel or make special trips if your dog attends daycare, has a preferred park, or enjoys a specific walking route. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable and cared for as possible, wherever they are.
