“My Chihuahua absolutely loved Helen. She was incredibly kind, punctual, and loved animals. I felt super comfortable leaving Itachi and knowing my pup was in such caring hands. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and loving walker!”

“Lavinia was fantastic with Momo. We did an initial meet and greet, and she asked detail oriented questions to get to know Momo and his triggers, which put me at ease because it showed that she understood the fundamentals of canine behavior. She is obviously very experienced, punctual and organized - Which makes it an absolute breeze to work with her. During their walk, she sent me plenty of photos of Momo looking so happy and if she wasn’t moving further away from me, I would want her to be my regular dog walker.”

“Ricky helped me out last minute when I threw out my back by walking my energetic goldendoodle multiple mornings in a row. He was timely, easygoing, and flexible and pup was excited every time he came to the door!”

About: I’ve always been the girl who is obsessed with dogs. I grew up with dogs and I was the one who took care of them, and that love for caring and training has only grown. I’m the type of person who needs a lot of “outside time” so my soul dog Murphy and I spend a good amount of time playing in the courtyard and going on multiple walks a day; I truly don’t know who’s happier. Currently, I have a very open schedule and it’s just Murphy and I at home all day. Some evenings I babysit for my family out in Spencerport, but kid friendly dogs are welcome to come with me and there is also a large yard (not fenced in, but there is a 30 ft leash set up). I have a fenced in grass courtyard where the dogs can play, and my apartment is very open and there’s lots of room for dogs to play inside. My dog Murphy does not need to be crated when left alone, but I have a small cage in case anyone who visits needs it. Murphy has more toys than I care to admit, so your pups will have lots to play with.
“Rebecca is such a great dog walker! The minute she met my pup I knew they would be fast friends. Rebecca’s detailed reports of her walks with my pup make me feel so reassured throughout the day. I would highly recommend her to everyone!”

“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 grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!
“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!”

“Teddy’s newest friend is John! I see that John is Very efficient and he accepts Teddy for who is. Our little concern is always Ted’s safety and John is firm but friendly with him.. Gold Stars to John!”

“Ronnie did a great job walking my Minnie girl for me! I appreciated him coming so last minute- glad to have a good person to help keep Minnie entertained ☺️ thank you!!”

“Hannah is wonderful! I tend to be a bit anxious leaving my dog with others but I know my dog is in great hands with Hannah, and love seeing the happy pictures from their walks.”

About: I would just love to be a pup sitter for you! I've had dogs since I can remember and couldn't imagine life without them. When thinking of what I could do for the rest of my life the first thing that comes to mind for me is caring for animals especially dogs. My dream job would be rescuing and rehabilitating unwanted dogs for new homes or even therapy. I've had a career in management for 10 years and have come to realize my true calling is and always has been dogs! So in short I guess I'm that person at the party that instantly pets and plays (talks) with the dogs and usually remembers the dogs names before people's names! Yeah I'm a dog person!
About: At first, I really hate dogs because during my childhood days I got bit by a dog in my legs, and the same year I got bit again. But when my dark days come a dog saves me, He's my dog. I am from the Philippines that dog is a labrador retriever he's 4yrs old. he came along with me here :) I travel first here, then he travels alone to come here. I really love him, his name is Snow. He's so sweet! Pet care fit in my daily routine because I don't have a lot of things to do and school are going to end. Also, I am used to this routine because of my dog. I care about them a lot. Pets are like a part of your family they are very sweet and feel you the love and happiness that no one gives.
“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!”
