"We have been clients of Steph and C.S. since she started the business. She and her staff have taken wonderful care of our dogs over the years. Our current lab, Oscar, goes to day care once a week and boards when we travel and has done so since he was a pup. He is always excited to go and flies out the door when they arrive to pick him up because he knows he’s going to have the best day ever! We wholly trust Steph and the entire staff at C.S. as we know he’s being well taken care of. We love seeing the photos and videos of the dogs posted on social media. When people ask us about C.S., we say it’s like Disney Land for dogs! We have proudly witnessed Steph and C.S. grow and thrive over the years – they, without a doubt, get the 5-star award of approval from us!"
"There is nobody I trust to watch my dog more than Critter Sitters. For so many years they’ve been great beyond words – reliably picking up the dogs in the morning and bringing them home after daycare. Stephanie is easy to reach and so flexible. These people love dogs, and it shows."
"I was referred to Critter Sitters by our Vet when Chip was just a puppy, full of piss and vinegar and terrorizing our household with his overabundance of energy and naughtiness. It is not an overstatement to say that Critter was then, and still is, a life saver. When that Critter van pulls into our driveway in the morning, Chip is ecstatic to “hop in the bus” with his doggy (and human) friends. And when that van pulls back into our driveway in the afternoon, I am ecstatic to see the exhausted and happy dog that is returned to me. Six years later, Chip remains a regular at the Critter pad – for both doggy daycare and boarding. Critter loves Chip and much as we do, and I would not trust anyone more with our crazy dog as I do Critter."

Steph and the Critter Team are amazing! Edgar was unsocialized and fearful when he was rescued. Steph socialized him, taught him how to accept an offer to play and how to extend an offer to play! He even has a BFF at Critter Sitters! Edgar is a very high energy dog and the only time he gets really tired is when he has daycare! He comes home happy and tired!
When I needed surgery this summer Edgar boarded with Steph. He was so engaged and content he didn’t show any signs of being homesick. I was able to focus on my health and didn’t have a single worry about Edgar’s care. We love Critter Sitter and everyone who helps care for Edgar! We don’t know what we would have done without Steph and the Critter Team. Steph is truly Edgar’s fairy godmother! ❤️

"We have been using Critter Sitters for our dog for 9 years. My dog gets so excited to go she starts spinning and jumping when she hears the van pulling into the driveway. She loves being with the other dogs and the staff is so experienced and kind that we never have to worry. The training and socialization has been so good for her. We have used Critters for day care once a week but also for boarding when we plan a vacation. It is a relief to know our dog is happy, well-cared for and loved by all of the staff at Critter Sitters. I highly recommend it !"
"Our Great Dane, Chloe, has been going to Critter sitters for four years. We live in downtown Syracuse and drive the 25 minutes out to Chittenango so she can attend Doggie Daycare as well as be boarded when we are out of town. From the first day we met with Stephanie to determine if Chloe fit in with the pack the experience has been better than we could have ever imagined. Why? Because the whole team at Critter Sitters LOVES their jobs and they truly care for the dogs. Chloe is excited EVERY time we drop her off and reluctant to leave when we pick her up. The peace of mind we get from knowing that Chloe is being cared for, engaged, socialized, and exercized is priceless! Thank you Stephanie and Team!"
"Critter Sitters provides a one-of-a-kind experience for dogs: expansive, varied, enriching, and ever-expanding/changing play areas; optional home pick up and drop off service; and customized care to meet the specific food/meds needs of each dog. They care so much about each dog’s individual nature and personality, and are extremely reliable. And best of all, the dogs LOVE it! My dog practically launches himself through the front window when the Critter Sitters transport arrives!"
"Critter Sitters has been an amazing addition to our lives! Our pup Jackson LOVES the interaction with other dogs, the fun play structures, pond, and play yards he is exposed to every day. Stephanie and her crew are amazing, loving, and attentive doggie daycare peeps! Jackson comes home, happy, healthy, and exhausted… but he is always ready and beyond excited to go again the next day!"
"I can’t say enough about this amazing place! Steph is a true pack leader and treats all the pups as her own. My pup knows when that doggy bus is coming. She sits by the front window watching with so much excitement. When she comes home, she is so tuckered out from playing hard with all of her puppy pals and all the enrichment Steph and her group do with the pups. It’s like a doggy Disney Land! There is no place like it! Whenever someone tells me they need daycare for their furry friend , I always recommend them to Critter Sitters! I would not send my pup anywhere else!"
"Back in 2013 we learned about Critter Sitters from a neighbor & we were interested to have our dog Clint meet & play with other dogs. We contacted Critter Sitters & had a meet & greet with Stephanie. Clint passed the test & from that point forward Clint was part of the pack twice a week as well as boarding from time to time.
Clint was picked up & drop off on his assigned days. Every time It was like Christmas for him.
Basically it was like going for doggy Disneyland. He was totally devoted to Stephanie following her like “a puppy
Dog”.
He is now 14 with some health issues and retired but still dreaming of his younger fun days!! We made the best decision when we chose Critters Sitters!!"
