House Sitting in Arkport

“She took wonderful care of our pets and our home!”

“I rebooked with Catarah when I went to NYC and she was so great! Everything about the stay was great. She house sat my dog and it went perfect!”

“Taylor is a great get animal person she loves her animals like they are her children. I would trust her with my animals all day.”

“Very personable and gave us updates. We felt Dave was definitely safe and cared for!”

“Melissa has been amazing with animals since she was a young girl. Many times while in vacation I felt fortunate to have her as a neighbor to keep track of our beloved pets. From my daughter’s little critters like hamsters and even rats to our Family Great Danes she has always just taken such good care of them while we are away. She even took a friends Quaker parrot for a week while she went on vacation and did a great job with him. I highly recommend Melissa , and know she can handle the care of most any pet.”

“Elizabeth was wonderful! She stayed at our home for 6 nights, and replied to texts immediately and sent pictures of our 2 dogs and 2 cats everyday. The pets took to her right away. She has a calming demeanor and very polite. I highly recommend Elizabeth.”

“First time using Rover, and we found Lauren. Glad we did. We had her come over and meet the dogs. They all approved so we had her come back for a night of 'baby'sitting. Lauren showed up at the exact time discussed, and addressed each dog by name when they greeted her at the door. We hung out for a little bit and could see how comfortable she was with them, and they with her. First time my wife and I were able to leave the house together for more than 4 hours. Thank you, Lauren.”

“Shauna was wonderful with Ozzie. She came to our campsite and took care of him while we went out. She was flexible with her hrs. and came 2 days in a row. He gets very nervous whenever I leave and she was able to keep him calm and happy. He generally takes a while to warm up to people and he took to her immediately. I would highly recommend her.”

“Krystina was flexible and accommodating, happily adjusting to changes in departure times and pet-care needs. Throughout her time with Trot and Tag, two large high-energy retrievers who are a handful for most, Krystina wore them out playing fetch in the backyard and sent me pictures with updates, allowing for a worry-free time away from home. Trot, and Tag had a great time hanging out with Krystina the past few days and are excited to have her sit again soon.”

About: Taking care of people, animals and the planet is what brings my soul true joy and happiness. Your pet might not want to leave 🤣 I am fortunate enough to work a job that I can create my own schedule. I am able to adjust as needed so no worries I care for pets by making sure they feel loved and safe at all times, as well as a comfy tummy and most importantly are having fun!

“She babysat for a week back, and was amazing she is very respectful and trust worthy and would be a great dog sitter for anyone in need!”

About: I have been working in the animal industry my whole life. Through the years I have done rescue for domestic animals and wildlife. I also volunteered for the SPCA Law enforcement to protect animals in need. I still volunteer my time for worthy animal causes when I can. With my vast experience, I will care for your pet like they were my own. Special note for overnight stays. We provide almost overnight which is 2 hours in the evening and 1 hour in the am. We can also work out more time if needed and will change prices accordingly. We do not sleep overnight at clients' homes as stated in rates due to full drop-in and walking schedules. Thank you. Our visits range currently early am and after 5:30 pm. **Special note** Meet and greets are free and required before accepting any booking. They keep our sitters safe and customers happy with our services. Thank you for your understanding. My schedule is pretty flexible weekdays and weekends. The app will always be updated to the current schedule. If in doubt drop me a message! In clients home I like to keep to their schedule that they are used to with you to make them feel comfortable. Anything that will make them feel better or less anxious let me know and I will be happy to implement.

“Raquel did a great job. She gave us daily updates and pictures, and we returned to everything safe and sound.”

“Goes above and beyond. During the two weeks I was gone: my backyard tree fell down, my basement had a gas leak, and there was a funeral. She notified me of everything ASAP, handled responses to these issues based on my requests, and sent me regular photos of my dog. She took excellent care of my (crazy) dog and my house!”

About: I've only looked after our family friend's 2 dogs Skully and Hanna for 2 separate weeks, but it made me want to get a dog myself even more. My first time dog sitting with 2 pups was a success, and it was honestly really fun getting them each a pup cup from Starbucks one of the days, and spoiling them with treats and fruits safe for dogs like blueberries and mangoes. Hanging out with them in general was also a blast. This is something I'm really looking forward to doing in the future. I'm working full time for fairport schools starting this Monday, but should be available in the mornings and after school, which ends at 2:40. I'm also a musician and I have gigs from time to time in Rochester, but it's nothing I can't work my schedule around. The last time I dog sat, the routine went like this: Get up at 7:30 to let the dogs out, then feed them the 1.5 cups each of dog food, let them out to go potty again. Then we would hang out, rest, or start the day until about 2 when we would go on a big walk either throughout the block or to a path on the canal. After that, we would go back again and hang out until about 5:30 when I would let them out, feed them, and let them out again. Then, I would let them out once more for the night before bed. That schedule basically repeated, then I also did some cool extraneous things with them like watching the show about the dog from "Up" on Disney Plus, throwing them sticks and a ball to play fetch with outside, letting them sleep on the beds if the owner says they can, feeding them treats, etc. Also made sure I cleaned up and left the clients home looking exactly how it was when I got there. I like to Febreeze too for some reason to make the house smell good. Looking forward to doing more of this.
