“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!”

About: I've had pets in the house for as long as I can remember! Growing up we had dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, tortoises, fish, and frogs. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from Yorkies to Rottweilers, and love them all. I currently have one cat named Olive, and plan to adopt a dog once I'm able to move to a larger space. I'm ready to take care of anything your pet needs - bathroom breaks, cat litter scooping, cleaning up accidents, refreshing water and food, play time, brushing, oral medication, etc. I'm currently working from home a few times per week, so I have a lot more flexibility in terms of scheduling pet care and walks. Summer weekends are typically busy, but if I'm in town I'm happy to help you out. I will always care for your animals as if they were my own. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible, especially during the first meeting. I'm always on alert for changes in body language and behaviors that may let me know their comfort level. Every pet is different, but I can guarantee that I will treat each as the very best girl/boy there is.

“Rico gave my two dogs a great walk and they were extremely satisfied and worn out after which is what we were looking for. Thanks so much Rico.”

About: People have called me the "dog-whisperer", but I have an affinity with animals of all kinds. I have had several happy and sometimes spoiled dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, I am also the only person I know who never lost their hamster as a child. I love going on long walks and hikes, I even once had a cat who liked to go on walks with me. Dogs I have cared for in the past, have been known to miss me after they went home and were excited to see me again the next time. I am almost always available, very punctual, quite active, and I love having a furry four legged companion on a walk or a nice long hike. I am a full time student. My availability is generally open in the afternoon and evenings during the week, with full availability on the weekend. I like to follow instructions so a list is handy, I can take your pets on walks or hikes, and im very good at keepimg animals company and entertained.

About: I love dogs! I've had dogs since I was a kid, so basically have been around them and taking care of them for my whole life. I am good with nail trims and baths as well! My schedule is pretty open. I have a car as well, so getting there wont be an issue. I work at wegmans part time, so i have plenty of free time! I have a little dog and a bearded dragon. Both house trained (yes the dragon poops in the yard lol) i usually walk dogs 3-5 times a day depending on how often they wanna go. I keep nails trimmed and stuff myself as well.

About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.

“Monday blues are always better when Grace comes to visit and walk Zuul. Grace is wonderful, reliable, and a great communicator. So happy we've found her.”

About: I make time to care for dogs on my free time and love to make them feel special. I help busy hardworking owners feel relieved when they can work and know that their dog is in good hands. I am a student that is currently studying full time at my apartment and am available to schedule dog care. I am very organized and am able to set time for studying and pet care and play time. I can play with them and give them enrichment. I can pet them to soothe them. I can encourage drinking water to keep them healthy. I am very vocal when it comes to encouraging and letting pets know they are doing something well.

“Hannah is amazing and our pup loves her walks/visits with her! The photos and updates are lovely and we are grateful for the excellent care our nutty lab receives from Hannah!”

“Mo loves Rebecca! She gets so excited when it's time for her walk and comes back so happy (and tired!). Rebecca is dependable, punctual, and friendly. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a child. I grew up on a farm and had to care for the family pets. I have watched a plethora of dog breeds for a night, weekend, week, or just to check in. I have experience clipping nails, bathing, and administering medications. I love pet snuggles and giving treats as well as being very active with my pet friends!! I can be flexible with pet sitting needs and am able to provide services during the day, evenings and weekends. I do not provide housesitting overnight at this time. I have a loving energetic dog who loves friends to play with and a 12 year old daughter who loves caring for pets. We live in a townhouse style apartment that is cozy and welcoming. I do not have a fenced in yard but am comfortable leashing for potty breaks and long walks. I live within walking distance to our neighborhood dog park which I bring dogs daily to run and play freely. I am also able to provide transportation to my family’s home in Victor with a fenced in yard for private free play. I can easily crate if needed/preferred. I use positive reinforcement always with my own pet and others!

“Katherine is great my dog loves seeing her and going on walks with her daily.”

“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.”

Laura S.

“Rachel was the absolute sweetest and I can't wait to hire her again! She took amazing care of our dog, Maisie, who felt right at home with her. I really appreciated her willingness to come meet Maisie and get to know our house before we needed dog walking.”

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for over four years and have hands-on experience volunteering at a farm animal shelter, where I cleaned habitats, prepared food, and provided enrichment. I’m passionate about creating a safe, loving environment for all animals. I'm home for the summer from Rochester, NY, and have open availability on both weekdays and weekends. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate your schedule. In my home, your pet will enjoy playtime with my friendly large dog, a spacious environment, and safe outdoor time on a secure lead. I can crate your dog if needed and follow their routine closely. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment tailored to their needs.

About: About Me: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands‑on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I grew up with a dog for eight years, and as an adult I’ve continued to care for dogs through family, friends, and Rover. My Experience: - Raised and trained my own German Shepherd from puppyhood with both personal training and help from a professional - Cared for my sister’s two dogs - Boarded multiple dogs in my home through Rover - House‑sat for families and watched their dogs - Provided post‑surgery care, including after her spay - Comfortable giving pills or medications - Confident walking large or strong dogs What I Offer: I love getting outside, playing, going for walks, and making sure each dog feels happy, safe, and cared for. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just some extra affection, I’m here to help. I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of time to care for your dog! I go to the gym in the mornings and early evenings. My days are pretty wide open and flexible. I would love to be able to take your dog outside and go for walks. I want them to feel safe and comfortable around me. If I am sitting at your home, then I want to make sure they are in their normal routine and doing the things they enjoy and need on a daily basis.
