“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!”
“Joan and Duncan were great. They have a lovely home on a quiet street, were very responsive and thoughtful. Oakey enjoyed his time there and I felt comfortable with them taking care of him.”
“Christine and Matthew took such great care of Shiba. They treated her like part of their family and made sure she felt comfortable and loved the entire stay. I got regular updates and photos, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Shiba came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Christine and Matthew again and recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
“This was our first time leaving our sweet girl, and we went back and forth on different options. We ultimately decided to try an overnight sitter first, with the plan to move forward if it felt like a good fit—and we’re so glad we did. Kai is a rescue, so we’re always a bit concerned about how she’ll do around other dogs. But at Maya’s, Kai becomes a completely different dog! She plays with Maya’s little Milo and seems to love Maya just as much as she loves being with us. During her first stay, Kai was a little nervous, but the second time—when we brought her for a longer stay—it felt like a full-on reunion. She was so excited to see Maya and Milo, and that gave us all the reassurance we needed to truly relax while we were away. Maya went above and beyond by sending us tons of pictures and videos of Kai’s “vacation,” and it genuinely looked like she was having the best time. In fact, we even came home a day early and still let Kai stay the extra day because she was clearly having such a blast! We will absolutely continue to use Maya as our go-to sitter. She loves the furbabies like her own, and Milo is just as sweet and welcoming. We couldn’t ask for a better experience!”
“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.”
“We are repeat clients of Eden and for good reason! She is consistent in providing great care for our little furry friend! It’s not the last time we will use Eden!”
“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!”
“Rachel is awesome! Our dog had so much fun at her house and loved playing with her dogs. When we came to get him he wanted to stay with her family! We felt safe and comfortable and could enjoy our vacation knowing that he was in good hands.”
“Bean had a great time with Irina! He wanted to stay and keep playing when we picked him up. We’ll definitely be using her in the future when we need someone to watch him.”
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.
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Riley had a wonderful day! I received a video and pictures throughout the day. Matt and Ashley are very responsive. Riley loved playing with the two resident dogs and another guest pup. I felt confident leaving Riley because I knew she would be well taken care of. I highly recommend Matt and Ashley.”
“Polina took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were on an extended vacation. She sent us photos periodically which was greatly appreciated. She contacted us regarding one of the dogs having redness in one eye and asked what we wanted her to do. We suggested eyedrops, she administered them and all was fine. You could tell she truly loves dogs and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Brent was prompt in his responses, sent pictures and videos and was pleasant to do business with. Our pup was well taken care of. Highly recommended…and he doesn’t charge an arm and a leg, like some folks that are less qualified. Don’t overlook his profile.”

“Adriana took great care of our cats! I wasn’t worried about them being okay while I was gone while she was checking in on them. She provided lots of pictures and details of her visits. She also went above and beyond to help with some house upkeep during her visits which I really appreciated.”
“Bridget was absolutely amazing with my kitties! She took such good care of them and I especially enjoyed the daily report with pics. She was so sweet and we will definitely be repeat customers.”
“Our shy kitty loves Zuzu. She brushes her, feeds and cares for her, as well as, gives her snuggles while we're gone so she doesn't feel so lonely. She's a much happier kitty getting to see her friend and we can rest easy knowing she's well cared for. Thank you so much for keeping pur precious girl company!😻💜🐾”
“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!”
“Alison and Robert were amazing! They accommodated my request for a hybrid housesitting/drop-in situation so well, and I'm so grateful for the care put in for looking after my cat. Alison sent me multiple pictures a day, followed my cat's multiple-step feeding guide, and even started teaching her how to shake. Ripley was in such good hands while I was gone and I'm already planning to rebook them for another trip I have coming up. I really recommend them!”
“It was our first time using Rover and we really lucked out with Crystal! We opted for daily drop-ins and Crystal provided updates and pictures everyday. It's hard leaving your pets behind while you are on vacation but the daily updates really helped put us at ease and the photos were an extra bonus. We would definitely recommend Crystal!”
“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!!!”
“Anne's amazing! Our picky cat loves her and so do we! She is extremely communicative, professional, thoughtful, and caring. Her check ins with our cat were very thorough with many pictures to ensure everything was going well. We were away for a month and she made us feel confident that everything was ok with our home and our pet. We will definitely hire Anne again to care for our cat and dog!”
“Second time booking Kristen and she was just as great as the first time! One of my kitties has been very picky with food and she was quick to let me know he didn’t fully eat but was acting just fine. Kristen has been nothing but respectful of the cats, plays with them and always sends updates and pictures. She’s definitely my go to for the boys!”
“Thank you for watching our cat Tino! Deborah was wonderful with keeping us updated with texts and pictures on how Tino was doing while we were away. We’re so appreciative!”
“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.”

“Thank you so much! Pamela is very respectful and responsible. She treats everything as if it was her own, hence the caring and love of my kitty while I was on vacation. Will definitely be reaching out to Pamela again upon my next vacation!”
“We have had Chelsea care for our cat multiple times now, she was always very reliable and communicative. She sends multiple photos and responds quickly if I have a question. Also our cat, who is a bit of an elderly grouch, likes her and looks forward to her visits!”
“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.”

“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.”
“Luna was right at home with Eden and Cruizey! Even with her fear of wind on a windy day, Luna remained content, restful and playful. Eden has a way with her dogs! Thank you for everything!”
“D treats our pet like her own. We love having her as our go-to sitter for our pup! I would 1000% recommend her again and again! It's such a relief knowing our dog is getting the love and care she deserves while we're busy with our everyday lives. Whether it's a last-minute pop-up visit or our regular daycare days, D is always fantastic!”
“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.”
“I can't say enough good things about Stacey. She is truly outstanding in every way when it comes to taking care of Scotch. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my Scotch is in such capable and caring hands. Whether I’m away at work or out for the day, I never have to worry—my dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Ashley was great! She was on-time and flexible with our schedule. She was available on short notice, which was very helpful! She sent us a video of our pup relaxing and watching a movie on her lap while we were out and about, which made us feel good about his doggie day care experience.”
About: No dog deserves the kennel! Why settle for the pound when they can spend a night in a home with an owner-on-loan; either in your house on in a house that has raised two other pets from puppyhood to old age? Admittedly, there are stairs and hardwood floors in my house, but I have bought several carpets for my old dog to move around on and can lay them down for your dog’s convenience. We also have a big backyard that your dog will love to run around in (and no predators, unless you count woodchucks and geese) and a long leash that can go all the way to the end of the property line. I love dogs and after a day with me, your furry friend will mistake me for his mother. I’m most busy Wednesdays-Thursdays, so I marked them out on the calendar, but if petsitting is required for several days, that is easy to accommodate! I also don’t mind waking up every few hours to take a dog out—I have not quite reached the age where sleep is important. I won’t allow your dog to roam around outside unleashed (sorry, but I don’t want to lose them!), but when they’re outside, I’ll make sure they have the freedom to run around to their heart’s content. Additionally, I’m willing to walk them in any weather they’ll put up with and even let them sleep on the couch/spare bed, if they’re not too dirty.
“Staci was a great! She has excellent communication, and updated me with plenty of pictures. I felt very safe allowing her in my home to pick up and drop off my Ace. She has a lot of experience and I was confident my dog was in good care with her. I highly recommend Staci.”
“My puppy had an amazing time at Daylin’s. He was well cared for and given lots of attention even though there were other dogs around. I can tell he was cared with love. He played so much every evening after work when I picked him up that he was wiped out! ?. Daylin and her partner are very friendly and love caring for the animals, I highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing lots of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and prioritize clear communication with regular updates and photos. I have a fully fenced in backyard (although I can also take your pet for walks as well if preferred!) and am available to give lots of cuddles all day as I work from home full time! I work remote full time and have a fully fenced in back yard so I am able to watch your dog or cat full time. On the weekends I am usually out hiking or with friends, and can take your pet on those adventures as well! I also have a small 30 lb house trained and friendly doggy named Ramsey who is always down to play and/or nap :) I am able to give your pet around the clock care as I work from home, and my dog Ramsey is always ready to make new friends! I do allow pets on the furniture, just not in my bed, and have a fully fenced in yard for playtime, as well as the ability to take your furry friend on walks as well! Please let me know what your needs are, I want their stay to be as comfortable as possible!
“Our dogs were well cared for and tired out when we picked them up! Extra attention was given to special dietary instructions for one of them and pick up and drop off was efficient. We were glad to use them again and know they were in good hands!”
“I feel very fortunate to have found Susan to watch George for me on a weekly basis. He always gets so excited as we pull in to her driveway, and can’t wait to get out of the car and get into her house! That’s so reassuring to me. She always communicates very well, sends lots of pictures, and has taken George last minute on several occasions. I highly recommend!”

“Annie is great! I work long hours so Annie walks my dog a couple times a week. She's reliable, responsive and she gives me cute updates and pictures after every walk. I'm lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her!!”
“Adriana was an incredible help with our nervous dog who can be a bit ~weird~ with strangers; she had our boy snuggling on the couch with her in just one weekend. She gives great updates and calmed every worry we had this weekend.”
“Well communicative and caring dog walker. Took nice pictures and always kept me updated on how my dog was behaving. Very grateful to be able to hire her on such short notice”
“Kaylah was AMAZING!!! Very sweet person, her and Maximus hit it off right as soon as she walken in the door. She walk him everyday as sheduled and even walked him longer than planned. after every walk she sent us pictures of their walk. She feed and watered him after every walk. We will definitely be reaching out to book her again!!! Thanks Kaylah!!”
“Pam has been so wonderful to work with! Going back to office is so much easier with Pam walking our dog. She’s friendly, responsive, and we 100% trust in her to keep our dog safe and cared for based on her needs. Selfishly I’d love to keep Pam to myself, but if you need a dog walker, she’s your girl!”
“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: Hi! My name is Sam and I have taken care of both domestic and exotic animals my whole life. It is one of my passions. My schedule is flexible since I work night shifts and am available during the day time hours and can easily swing by and check in on your pet! I have no problems coming to your home as long as you leave instructions on care for your furbaby. I’d love to take them on walks, play, provide pet hygiene, and of course meal time!
About: **Im sorry but I will not accept a next day booking if I have never met your dog previously, it's for safety's sake!** I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes since I was a little kid. All the dogs growing up were considered "my dogs" by everyone else in the house. I currently have two well behaved dogs, a husky who enthusiastically learned to do basic tricks and a special needs staffie that is a certified couch potato. If your baby has a medication regimen, I can make sure it gets followed. We can be as lazy or active as your baby needs me to be. I also have extensive experience with cats and some experience with ball pythons. My human kids are adults now, so I spend most of my waking time doting over my fur babies; I could consider yours a part of my pack if you'd like! If your dog is an adventurer we can walk for hours. I have two very friendly dogs and two...lets just call them tolerant...cats. I love just watching them go, so I am very engaged with the babies all day long. I'm good at following instructions and I can crate your pet as I come and go if you wish.
About: Schedule-Monday through Friday 6-2:30 I work and weekends off 🫠😁Animals have always been a part of my life growing up. Some of my family has a farm which I got to experience and learn from. I would walk a dog named Molly. She belonged to an older person who struggled with it. All 4 years of high school I was responsible for her grooming, as well as making sure she had plenty of extra love. I truly enjoyed the trust of this pet parent, and Molly that I gained from this time. I wish to continue that commitment now with the pet parents I will be able to meet on here. I truly hope to get the chance to gain your, and your pets trust by reaching there needs. -Christian Rosario My week is surrounded around taking care of my own home and animals. I have flexible hours with my job. If I am unable to be home my girlfriend is there all through the week. She only works weekends as a traveling vet assistant. On those days I am home to reach our animals and your pets needs. They will always be given attention and love. I have a fenced in back yard and two dogs of my own who are trained and help me train other dogs. Both are working emotional support dogs, as we understand they need a purpose to feel a part of the pack. Our house is big enough that no animals have to be together at any point. If this makes pet owners more comfortable and would like there pets separated to enjoy some alone time.
“Jill has become our GSP’s weekly walker and has been amazing! He is tons of energy but she has been awesome with taking him for long walks. I would highly recommend using Jill 🙂”
About: For many years, I aided my aunt who owns her own dog grooming salon, keeping the dogs occupied and bathing them! I have also taken care of many friends and family members dogs, even cats! I had two dogs, two Guinea pigs, and recently just adopted a cat! I volunteer weekly at a bunny farm cleaning their cages and spending time with them. I enjoy all animals and being a difference in their lives! I currently have a full time job, typically work week hours, with some overtime so I will need to work around that! Available weekends and late night!! I have a park nearby and am familiar with safe areas for dog walking! I think it is important to listen to the client and will do everything I can to ensure your pets safety and help you feel at ease knowing they are in good hands! Every client is different and I respect each and every boundary.
“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.”

We also have a mostly empty dining room for extra space and we allow all pets on all furniture.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always had a deep love for them. While I’ve primarily worked with horses and cows, I’ve also spent years around dogs and cats. We have our own rescue pup at home, and I’ve helped care for everything from small lap dogs to German Shepherds. There’s always been a family or friends dog around, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. Rover is my full time job, so we can work together to fit your pet into my day! Whether it’s early mornings, midday check-ins, or evenings, we can work out a perfect time to meet you and your pets needs!

“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!”
“Joan and Duncan were great. They have a lovely home on a quiet street, were very responsive and thoughtful. Oakey enjoyed his time there and I felt comfortable with them taking care of him.”
“Christine and Matthew took such great care of Shiba. They treated her like part of their family and made sure she felt comfortable and loved the entire stay. I got regular updates and photos, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Shiba came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely book with Christine and Matthew again and recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
“This was our first time leaving our sweet girl, and we went back and forth on different options. We ultimately decided to try an overnight sitter first, with the plan to move forward if it felt like a good fit—and we’re so glad we did. Kai is a rescue, so we’re always a bit concerned about how she’ll do around other dogs. But at Maya’s, Kai becomes a completely different dog! She plays with Maya’s little Milo and seems to love Maya just as much as she loves being with us. During her first stay, Kai was a little nervous, but the second time—when we brought her for a longer stay—it felt like a full-on reunion. She was so excited to see Maya and Milo, and that gave us all the reassurance we needed to truly relax while we were away. Maya went above and beyond by sending us tons of pictures and videos of Kai’s “vacation,” and it genuinely looked like she was having the best time. In fact, we even came home a day early and still let Kai stay the extra day because she was clearly having such a blast! We will absolutely continue to use Maya as our go-to sitter. She loves the furbabies like her own, and Milo is just as sweet and welcoming. We couldn’t ask for a better experience!”
“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!”

“Bean had a great time with Irina! He wanted to stay and keep playing when we picked him up. We’ll definitely be using her in the future when we need someone to watch him.”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“Riley had a wonderful day! I received a video and pictures throughout the day. Matt and Ashley are very responsive. Riley loved playing with the two resident dogs and another guest pup. I felt confident leaving Riley because I knew she would be well taken care of. I highly recommend Matt and Ashley.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Brent was prompt in his responses, sent pictures and videos and was pleasant to do business with. Our pup was well taken care of. Highly recommended…and he doesn’t charge an arm and a leg, like some folks that are less qualified. Don’t overlook his profile.”
“Jaclyn is amazing!! I recently had the pleasure of having Jaclyn take care of my 1 year old dog, Milo, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. Like many pet owners, I was initially very nervous about finding someone who would not only provide excellent care but also genuinely love and adore Milo as much as I do! From our first meeting introducing Milo, Jaclyn's warm and friendly demeanor gave me the reassurance I needed 😁 Throughout Milo's stay, Jaclyn's communication was outstanding! She kept me constantly updated with detailed messages making sure I knew how Milo was doing at all times. The numerous photos and videos she sent were so nice to see, I loved seeing how happy Milo was! She made sure he felt at home, comfortable, and loved, and messaged me with any concerns she had which was a huge relief for me :) It's clear that Jaclyn has a natural talent and patience for caring for animals. I HIGHLY recommend Jaclyn to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter. She went above and beyond to ensure Milo was happy and well-cared for, and I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you, Jaclyn, for being so wonderful with Milo! I hope he wasn’t too naughty! 😁”
“Great experience! Was able to accommodate a last minute booking, had very fast communication, and sent lots of daily update pics of my dog! Would definitely recommend and book again!”
“Molly and Nikola were wonderful! We haven’t left our fur baby Josie with anyone in over 5 years and we’re very nervous but Molly and Nikola kept us up to date often and took Josie on fun adventures. When we picked her up nearly a week later she didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend!!”
“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.”
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on professional dog care experience working in dog daycares, boarding kennels, and grooming facilities in both Colorado and New York. I’ve managed large daycare playgroups of 15–20 dogs, monitored interactions, redirected rough play, and maintained calm, structured environments. One of our daily staff challenges involved having an entire group line up and hold a sit at the same time—something I was proud to accomplish more than once. I also worked at a boarding and grooming kennel in Durango, CO owned by a competitive dog-show handler with extremely high standards. Because staff was small, I gained extensive one-on-one experience with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, including nail trims (even nervous dogs), coat-specific brushing, ear and dental care, bathing, drying, and boarding routines. I also handled front-desk responsibilities, scheduling, and check-ins. At home, I live with two very friendly dogs of my own—Cooper, a beagle, and Tucker, an Australian Shepherd–beagle mix. They are social, affectionate, and almost always carrying a ball around the house. We play daily enrichment games such as hide-and-seek: I’ll have them wait in another room while I hide their balls or bedtime treats, and when I let them out, them they make a mad dash to look for them. It’s one of their favorite parts of the day and a fun way to keep them moving and engaged when it's too cold outside or when I'm doing things around the house. Our home is fully set up for boarding with a large fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play, plus a dedicated dog-care nook stocked with harnesses, leashes, winter jackets, brushes, and treats. Living with my own dogs full-time means I’m experienced with routines, energy management, introductions, and helping new pups feel comfortable quickly. Cooper and Tucker enjoy meeting new friends, and I carefully supervise all group play. What truly drives me is how much joy dogs bring into everyday life, which is why I chose to follow that passion into my career. Being around happy, healthy dogs is contagious in the best way, and creating an environment where they feel safe, loved, and excited to be here is what I aim for every day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m home often and structure my days around indoor and outdoor playtime, enrichment activities, meals, and rest breaks. Dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, supervised yard time, and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. I’m available for in-home boarding and extended stays, and I plan my schedule to make sure every dog gets consistent care, exercise, and individual attention. My home is fully set up for dogs, with a large fenced-in backyard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space indoors to relax. I live with two friendly dogs, Cooper and Tucker, and always supervise interactions, and group play. I live with my mother, so she may be around occasionally but it is only me who will be looking after and taking care of the pups. She is aware of my services and is happy to open the home to more dogs for sitting and more pals for Cooper and Tucker! I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medication instructions, and preferred activity levels. Dogs can be separated for meals or downtime if needed, and I’m comfortable using crates or quiet spaces based on what makes them feel most secure. We also have a dedicated dog-care nook stocked with harnesses, leashes, winter jackets, brushes, and treats so guests are always prepared for Syracuse weather. Cleanliness, hygiene, and calm handling are priorities here. You’ll receive regular photo updates and messages so you can feel confident your pup is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away(:
