“Alyssa was amazing! Otis can be a very picky, very eccentric dog; but he seemed perfectly comfortable with Alyssa and even asked for a snuggle in the morning. If he could talk, he’d probably rate her a 10/10. We would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone with a more timid or anxious dog looking for an alternative to boarding, as well as anyone else!”
“We scheduled Lavinia for a last minute trip out of town and are so glad we did - she was incredible and our three animals had the best time. One of our dogs is somewhat anxious but it was clear from the pictures that she felt super comfortable with Lavinia. We will definitely use her pet sitting services again!!”
“Ona took great care of my dog for the weekend! She took her on lots of walks and sent plenty of updates each day so that I knew how everything was going. She went above and beyond to help me out this weekend!”
“Nikole took great care of our boys during the holidays! Our youngest pup can be a handful but everyone was happy and healthy when we got back. We so appreciate her help!”
“Pups loved Nikki, and we could not have been more grateful for her quick responsiveness to a very last minute booking. Will definitely request again!”
“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”
“John was amazing. This was the first time we had a sitter for our 10 month old lab and he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed about the entire experience. He helped train our dog and made him comfortable when we were gone. We can’t wait to ask for John to help us in the future. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. Lucky to have found him.”
“Emily has taken care of my baby 🐕 twice now, and does a great job! My dog seems comfortable with her and is happy and tired when I come home 🥰. Emily is also very thoughtful and leaves everything clean.”
“Very much appreciate the last minute availability and the good care of my pup Nilla! I would’ve liked more updates on how it was going, but I just get nervous leaving her, especially with new people. Everything in the house was we left it and Nilla was perfectly content when we’re arrived home.”
About: Ive had animals of all kinds growing up. My family, friends and neighbors have all felt safe leaving their fur babies in my car when they need to leave them for a day or more. You can trust they will be in great hands. Im currently work full time. I can be at your home in the morning, after work and overnight any day of the week. I can also go on my breaks depending on location. I will keep your babies in their normal routine or a temporary routine. I will follow your instructions to a T. I will give them lots of love and playtime. I can follow any dietary needs. I also have experience in medications if your babies require them.
“Teri was very professional and did a great job taking care of my two girls, one that needed meds. Pictures and updates were sent and communication was easy with her. House left spotless and I would definitely recommend.”
About: I've had pets my entire life! I've taken care of my own pets - dogs, cats, snakes, gerbils, and rats - who have had a variety of needs including meds, fluids and inhalers, and friends', family, and neighbors' pets! I have always been a huge animal lover and having just moved back to Rochester with my partner as he starts his residency, I have a lot of free time! I would love to help with your animals! I have two cat and dog friendly cats who have a good routine and are always looking for new friends to play with! My apartment is secure and I dote on my kitties!
“Suzanne stayed in our house with our 2 dogs for 9 days and did an awesome job. She was a great communicator - we got daily updates which gave us so much peace of mind. She stepped in at the last minute after other plans feel through and dealt with our older dog's medical issues smoothly. And when we returned she had clearly put a lot of effort into making sure the house was clean and ready for us. Maybe the most impressive thing about Suzanne's work is that both of our dogs were really calm when we returned - happy to see us, but not overly crazed like they often can be.”
“Anna has been an amazing dog sitter for us more than once! She is responsive and sends many pictures. Our animals are calm and excited to see her. She watched our pets few multiple days in our home and left our home clean - even helped with our plants while we were away. I would highly recommend Anna!!”
“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”
“Daniel was a fabulous dog and house sitter. He went above and beyond in taking great care of my 16 year old spaniel and kept me up to date with reports amd pictures. I’ll be sure to contact him the next time I need help.”
“Barbara did a wonderful job watching Penny! She updated me about penny everyday with pictures and left my place just as I left it ! I would definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of pets for my entire life! I also have experience in senior care, like administrating medications and other accommodations. I am currently in my undergrad for medical illustration and I am taking pre-vet classes. You won’t find someone as loving and caring to your pets as I am. I am currently on summer vacation, so I am super flexible and available to devote 100% of my attention to your pet for any length of time. I pay lots of attention to detail, and am great at following your directions. I have a roomy apartment, and live with two other animal lovers. Right outside my apartment is lots of yard space for walks and playtime! I will spend most of my time caring for your pet engaging with them and loving them!
“Melaney did a great job caring for my 2 cats and apartment while I was away! She made sure to follow all my directions and I came home to a very clean apartment and 2 happy cats! Thank you!”

“Carolyn is a responsible, thoughtful, and overall caring individual who embodies every aspect wanted in a person to watch over one's furbabies! She currently cares for two lovable and energetic cats, who require a great amount of love and diligence, and I can personally say they are very content to have found their forever home. In addition to caring for her personal cats, Carolyn has experience raising and training young pups in her family home, and being granted the opportunity to care for exotics. Not only will you enjoy having your pets cared for by Carolyn, but you will request her service again for her attention to detail and her kind heart.”

Kade B.
“I have know Kade for a while, and he has taken care of my dogs many times. I tend to travel, so I have to leave my dogs home for weeks at a time. Kade has always taken excellent care of my dogs when I am gone. He plays with them, but doesn’t allow them to get into trouble. He can handle situations others might find stressful, and he is responsible and hard working. I would highly recommend Kade if you are looking for someone who can not only make sure your pets are safe, but also keep them company.”

Melaney was communicative and thorough! She went above and beyond of what I asked and I was very appreciative of that! Will be using her again!!
Maria is amazing! We have been repeat clients because she always takes great care of our dogs, and they absolutely love her! She provides us with at least a couple check-ins daily and plenty of photos to show how happy and well taken care of they are while we are out of town ☺️
Rene was great! My petsitter plans for the weekend fell through last minute, so I was happy to find her. We only adopted our pup 5 mo ago, &, being a rescue from a puppy mill, she is still scared of new people. But I knew Rene would have the patience & kindness needed for her. Rene stayed at the house, so my dog & cat had plenty of attention. And Rene kept in contact with me, including sending me pictures. She will be the one I contact next time I need a pet sitter!
Daniel sent me nice daily updates and pictures which always helps me enjoy my time away knowing my pets are doing just fine!
Another great visit from Jamie! It’s comforting to know our animals are well taken care of while we’re away! Can’t recommend Jamie enough!!
Everything went smooth with Barbara dog sitting at our house! Would def recommend to anyone looking for a responsible dog sitter!
Anna has been an amazing dog sitter for us more than once! She is responsive and sends many pictures. Our animals are calm and excited to see her. She watched our pets few multiple days in our home and left our home clean - even helped with our plants while we were away. I would highly recommend Anna!!
Annaliese made an initial visit with Chester to get to know him. Chester is 14 and has mobility issues so we talked about his requirements while we were away for about six hours. We were impressed with her approach to Chester - he's sometimes protective when visitors come into the house. They got along great! It turned out we had to cancel our plans so we didn't need a sitter. However, I wouldn't hesitate having Annaliese as a pet sitter.
Joey was wonderful. He met with us the day before for a Greet & Meet. He arrived promptly on both days and was very experienced & well-prepared to take care of our Senior. Joey was very detailed about Rufus's care plan and asked lots of good questions. He sent plenty of beautiful photos and updates during the day. Joey was able to use positive reinforcement (treats and positive praise) to wean him off his belly band. This was incredibly helpful as we have been able to continue without it.
I have booked Emalee for overnight dog sitting a number of times now. She is my go to when I am out of town and I want to rest easy knowing my pup is well cared for when I am gone. Thank you for treating her like one of your own. Not to mention the updates are so reassuring to get. Emalee is so respectful of the house and the space going above and beyond to make sure things are left tidy!!
Rohila was super responsive and great with our dog, who unexpectedly got really upset we were gone and ended up being a handful. The cats--even our normally super shy and nervous one--seemed calm and happy when we got back. And I couldn't even tell someone had been staying in our house. Thanks so much for everything, Rohila!
Cassidy was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she really took her time to get to know them and their routines. She was very respectful of our home and gave our dogs all the love and attention while we were away. We have already booked her again for future trips.
Kiera did everything I expected and more. She contacted me every other day with pictures and updates. My dog looked so happy! I would definitely contact her again for service.
Alicia was great, very communicative and sent lots of pics of my pups. Would definitely use her again!
Drew was fantastic! It was my first time using her and as I got to learn more about her I learned she is very much trying to pursue a career in taking care of animals. I have a Pomeranian, who we all know can be high strung and bark a lot. She did not complain at all about his barking and said he behaved very well. She even cleaned and washed the blanket and pillow cover I gave her to use. She obviously did my dishes too. I already plan to book her again next year. She's a great find! And very sweet!
