About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I was in highschool. I have taken care of 3 dogs at once and enjoy running around and bringing them on walks. I love to snuggle and give all my love to every pet! This will be my daily as well as weekly routine. Whatever anyone needs I am willing to be flexible to their pets and the families I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room to run around. I have a loving lab that would love to have a playmate. However I also have two extra rooms and will be willing to separate the dogs for whatever reason. Anything to make your fur baby feel more at home

Sarah was punctual and took wonderful care of Penny and Pepper (aka pippa). She put my mind at ease with regular updates and snapshots which I loved! I definitely recommend her and plan to book with her again.

About: I have many years experience with pet sitting, pet care, and walking. I have references from my past clients to provide to you. I believe I have a strong intuition for animals, which helps me to be attuned to their needs. I just love being around animals, so it brings me great joy to help pets and their owners alike. I have experience in both long term and short term stays. When I am pet sitting, I provide intensive care for the animals. We go on two long walks a day, or more if wanted/needed and if that is something the pet is interested in doing. I will provide play for them, and going out as frequently as they need/want. They will have their daily meals and fresh water. In the clients home, I care for the pets by following the pet's routine. and will talk at lengths with the home owners to get to know the environment and how the animals operate in the home, such as where and how they get let out ie if they can roam free in their yard etc, where they go for walks, what times of the day they eat etc .

About: I've taken care of my family's and friend's dogs since I was 15, but more so in the last 3 years. I especially love to get them good exercise through playing fetch and chase with them, and turning walks into runs. Of course if dog is unable to exercise I'm also great at keeping things more their pace and ensuring their safety. I'm around and ready to help every day starting at 9:30am. Since my schedule is wide open from mid-morning through the evening, I'm super filexible with timing, whether you need a consistent midday walker or a last-minute drop-in for those days you're running late. Just let me know what time works best for your pet's routine! Safety and trust are my top priorities, and I am committed to maintaining a secure environment for your pet during every visit. I perform thorough safety sweeps, double check that all doors and gates are securely locked and strictly follow your specific home entry and care instructions. On our outings, I practice a "safety first" approach by staying alert to our surroundings, avoiding unpredictable interactions with unknown dogs, and ensuring all gear is properly fitted. You can expect detailed updates and photos after every session, giving you total peace of mind that your pet and home are in responsible, caring hands.

Karen made drop-in visits to care for my cat while I was on vacation. She came twice a day, early in the morning and again at dinnertime. She provided food, fresh water, changed the litter, and kept the areas clean. She also took away the used cans to recycle & took away the litter. The texts and photos were reassuring. I definitely recommend Karen. She was thorough and reliable.

As of current we have 3 dogs, ranging from a 14 pound Jack Russell to a 80 pound German Shepard....and in between we have a 50 pound Husky.

My own pets are considered a big part of our family. They always make the family photos! I am a recent graduate of ST. John Fisher University. I have an internship that will keep me busy during the week but am available any weekend. From Friday afternoon till late Sunday, your pet will have my full availability.

About: I currently work at an animal hospital, so I’m used to taking care of both cats and dogs. My own dog was diabetic so I’m used to administering insulin shots. I especially love being active with animals such as long walks and lots of playtime! I am currently working 4 days a week, usually until after 7:30, but I do have weekends off. I’m free most weekends and most tuesdays! I follow whatever directions are specific to each animal and home as I’m very comfortable with most animals and aim to provide the best service possible. I grew up with a dog and currently have a cat so I understand needing someone reliable to take care of your fur baby or babies.

About: I grew up always having a dog and other pets in our home. I absolutely love animals! When I was 19 I got my first dog on my own, Kyla she was a yellow lab and the love of my life. I currently have 2 Belgian Malinois- Cali and Bruin. I've worked training with them and another German Shepherd. I've also volunteered with MSPCA in the past. I would love to help in any way needed to keep your four legged friend happy and safe. I am experienced in many different breeds of dogs. Whether it's puppies or elderly dogs I have experience with both and I always care for them as I do my own! Walking, running, playing, feeding, brushing, cleanup or even belly rubs! I love caring for animals! :) I am currently working part-time as a PCA, doing in home private care. Prior, I was full-time for 10 years with a woman who suffered a TBI. I am very flexible with my daily schedule as I can move my work hours around to fit my dog's clients needs. I don't bring dog's I am caring for to my house, as mine get too worked up! I can care for pet's in their home/yard and walk them from there. I also take some dogs to different trails, hikes, and dog parks. All up to the owner's preference! I am happy to do what works best :)

About: Hi my name is Kendall, I’m looking to spend time with your furry four legged friends! I am an avid animal lover and have grown-up around animals my entire life. From cats to dogs, from guinea pigs to turtles I’ve had them all as pets and cared for them whole heartedly.

Feel free to send me a message if you’re in need of a pet sitter or dog walker.

Gail is a loving and conscientious sitter. This was my first time using Rover and I was feeling quite a lot of anxiety about leaving my cat with a stranger. But Gail came over for a meet and greet and Charley took to her very quickly. Gail is trustworthy and made me feel very comfortable with leaving my Charley in her hands. She sent multiple daily pictures and updates, spent time playing g and loving up on her and Charley was fine and happy when I came home.

Karissa was absolutely fantastic! She responded quickly to my very last-minute request and was able to accommodate my dog on short notice, which was such a relief. Her communication was excellent from start to finish — she kept me updated throughout the walk and even sent videos so I could see how happy my pup was. It was clear she genuinely cared and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend.
