“Maria is amazing. Abby loved her from the first meet and greet. She is promp, semds pictures and communicated well. I feel so much better knowing that Abby has her visit to look forward to when I am at work .”

“Winna is an extremely reliable, responsive and caring daily walker for our lovable but rather stubborn 8 yr old dachshund mix. She feeds her and has patiently coaxed her to longer walks. Huge thanks to Winna for all your efforts!”

“Lavinia has been an amazing dog walker. I asked her to walk our dog everyday after she took care of him wonderfully while we were gone. Lavinia is communicative, punctual, and trustworthy. Our dog looks well exercised after each walk with her. She can walk our german shepherd who’s infamous for not walking with strangers. This means a lot!”

“Tina was very friendly, right on time for pick up & drop off! She shared all the things he did on the walk! I would definitely request her services again!”

“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”

“Emily is lovely and my Maddie immediately felt comfortable with her. I was able to schedule with her same day which is great. We will definitely be contacting her regularly. ?”

“John was excellent with my dog. He was polite and dependable. I knew I could count on him and that my dog was safe in his hands!! I recommend him!!! I'll be using John's services as long as I'm living in Rochester.”

“Ellen was so sweet! She met Remi beforehand and she was extremely prompt and took Remi on two walks in one day—extremely pleased and will definitely be booking again!”

“Couldn't have gone smoother. My dog was happy and no problems. Rebecca was prompt, super friendly, and reliable. We'll definitely ask for her help again.”

“Anna has been great listening to my adolescent dog’s needs. My dog is typically shy but she has no problem coming forward to connect with Anna on walks!”

“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”

“Sora is wonderful! I needed someone super last minute to walk our pup twice that day and he responded immediately to my hurried, early morning request - he's a life saver! He was so sweet and communicative throughout both walks and sent the kindest message and photos after. Thank you, Sora!!”

“She is a great Dog Mom! She and her husband adopted 2 CavaTsu mixed puppies, and proceeded to make their house and amazing place for dogs, they fenced in their backyard themselves with a beautiful shadowbox fence, protected their garden form nosey sniffers, installed a dog-door for the pups convenience, and even sectioned off a large part of their living-room as a play area with a custom puppy-gate to keep them out of trouble. She pressure cooks her own special recipe for their dog food which supposedly is much healthier than bagged food. On many occasions they invite other dogs over for play dates, so the dogs are very well adjusted to having friends/company even new dogs they have never met before, and the dogs have quite a bit of energy, they love to play!”

“I can’t begin to express how grateful I am to have met Portia. She is SO skilled with challenging dogs, as evidenced by her work with my pup. Winston is known at his vet as “that dog (somewhat affectionately😆). He is a reactive, anxious rescue who takes a very long time to warm up to people; I knew it might be a struggle to find a regular walker for him. Portia has been incredibly patient, kind, and diligent in working with Winston. I’m thrilled that she’s earned his trust, because now I can stay at work all day without having to worry about running back during my lunch break to walk him. I’ve told many of my pet-parent friends about Portia, since she’s so incredible with Winston- I imagine she’s the same with other animals! I give Portia my very highest rating; Winston and I are incredibly lucky to have her in our lives!”

About: I've grown up caring for cats, rabbits and dogs! I also have experience raising chicks/chickens, and some experience caring for pigs, horses and goats. I've recently adopted a large senior dog, and have two cats (and a fish) of my own. Housesitting includes plant-care (indoor and out) as needed, trash days and mail/delivery collection. I'm in school, so M/W I'm available before noon or after 4pm. T/Th I'm available before 7am or after 2:30pm. Fridays-Sun I'm usually openly available! My priority while pet sitting is your pets! If they love walks or socializing, I'll be sure they have the best "stay-cation" while your away too! For pets that stay-in (such as cats and rabbits), play and quality time for me is key- keeping them active and distracted while parents are away is so important to me.

“Super reliable and responsive. Clearly cares for my dog.”

“Kate has been our pet sitter now for about 4 months. My wife and I camp a lot during the summer, and our two dogs are getting older now and can'e keep up like they used to. Kate stays home with our two pups and we are always satisfied with her communication, photo texts, and care for our pets.”

“Brett walked our dog twice in one day with very last-minute notice. He sent videos and updates at each visit, which were very sweet! He even noticed that she had chewed something up and cleaned up the mess. He was on time at each walk and gave Remi a nice long walk each time! Definitely planning on hiring him in the future.”

“Crystle has been amazing with dogs! She’s always reliable and on time for walks, and she also has taken great care of our pups while we’ve traveled.”
