Dog Boarding in Washington Square, Syracuse, NY

“Erix Fonseca is very important to us, his experience as a trainer, stylist and dog veterinarian is really impressive. He feels a great passion and love for animals which speaks very well of him. He is extremely responsible. I highly recommend he… your pets will feel comfortable by his side surrounded by a lot of love.”

“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!”

“Sue was so wonderful to board with! Unfortunately, due to weather and flight delays, we had to extend our trip a bit on both ends, and Sue was extremely helpful and willing to take our pet for the extra time. We also got daily photo updates, so we knew he was settling in well and well taken care of. She was even willing to do a meet and greet prior to the start of our trip. We would definitely recommend her to others, thank you Sue!”

“Kathleen and Dane were absolutely terrific with Rizzo for a weekend! Their pup Ranger and Rizzo seemed to get along great, despite my Rizzo having maybe too much puppy energy. They both certainly seemed to know dogs well, communicated very well, and sent great updates. Would certainly book with them again!”

“Eden and Gal are the best! Our Lulu had the very best time and was so well cared for. We did not have to worry for one second! Lulu can’t wait to be with them again, we are so thankful!! They are very flexible and will love your pup just like their own!”

“I was lucky enough to find someone like Vivian to occasionally watch my dog over the past year. She loves playing with my dog, taking him to the park, and running around with him. My dog is almost a year and a half now and still possesses A LOT of energy, so she tries her best to entertain him while remaining cautious for his safety. She sometimes even tries to train him to help mentally stimulate him and reinforce his learning. All the while, she follows all my instructions and ensures all his needs are met. Vivian is very communicative, responsible, and trustworthy. Her passion for dogs is evident in the way she interacts with my dog, and my dog LOVES spending time with her. I will continue to reach out to her whenever I need a pet sitter and I highly recommend her services.”

“Ashley is amazing. Zero really enjoyed his time with her and her family. He warmed right up to her and dhe made him feel at home. I would definitely recommend her.”

“Suanny is a very animal lover , she really take a good care of them like they her owns kids , I really recommend her to take care of your love ones.”

“Monica was awesome with our doggie Puddle. Attentive, flexible and kept us updated during our short trip which made this dog mom much more at ease! Highly recommend and will be seeing if Monica is available in the future!!”

“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!”

“I am beyond thankful to Vanessa for taking care of my dog, Sully! Vanessa gave me daily updates and pictures on how he was doing. Sully definitely looked like he made himself right at home and had a good time hanging with her sweet fur babies. I HIGHLY recommend Vanessa and will definitely contact her again! Thank you so much Vanessa!”

“Highly recommend! Britney was so caring and devoted to my toy poodle. She was fast to communicate and sent frequent updates and photos. I felt very calm leaving my dog even with his separation anxiety.”

“Ally has a great love for animals. She is dedicated and hard working. Ally was very responsible and attentive when taking care of our dog. She took him for daily walks and to the dog park. He was very happy during his stay with her.”

“Scout had the best time at Marisol’s, she got plenty of play, love and stimulation. So grateful and would definitely have her dog sit again.”

“Uno always has a good time with Jocelyn and I will always trust her with my boy. He boarded w/her for the first time and had a bad night (no fault of hers) but it was his first time away from home at night. I do believe things will be better for him as he gets used to us being away (although not often)”

“Very welcoming & my dog seemed very comfortablewith Leniece! I was updated regularly with photos of my dog & his activities. I would for sure recommend Leniece for dog care.”

About: I'm a self-employed writer, editor and newsletter author. I grew up with dogs, have owned several dogs, and have cared for other people's dogs since my beagle, Bailey, crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2021. I missed her so much I started offering dog/house sitting services. Dogs are such great company and I know how important it is to have peace of mind about their care when you’re away. I take pride in personal, hands-on pet care. I have the ability to work from home most days, so I will have plenty of time to walk, play and snuggle with your dog. If I'm staying in your home and pet/house sitting, I bring my computer and work with me, so I will be with your dog as much as possible. I prefer to host/care for dogs that are crate trained and come with a crate. I have a partially fenced yard. I expect that I will walk your dog several times a day and only take your dog in our yard on a leash or lead and with supervision. At your home, I will maintain your dog's schedule and routines.

“Deborah provided the best care to our fur babies! They were so comfortable and looked happy in all the photos she send us! Communication was great and she was extremely flexible with our times since we were running a little behind scheduled. I would definitely recommend Deborah and we will most definitely be returning to her! Thank you for being awesome?”

“Our dog, Moose, stayed with Michael and family. Moose came home happy and relaxed and clearly had a great stay. All our communications and interactions were very positive, and we really appreciated the flexibility when our flight and arrival back home were delayed. Very Highly Recommended!”

“Amber (and Mark) were better than we could have ever hoped for! They cared for our pup like she was their own and sent update pictures throughout our entire trip which really helped keep our minds at ease. They went for some great walks and played my pups favorite game of fetch. She came back to us healthy and happy, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better time. We can’t recommend them enough!!”
