House Sitting in Cumminsville

About: I've been in the pet care industry for around 3 years. I discovered my passion for animals when I got my first dog as an adult, a golden retriever named Molly. I found my calling and I never looked back. Since then I've volunteered with the Hornell Humane Society, taken on pet sitting clients and am currently being mentored by Ash Osborn, the head trainer at the Pawsitive Pups Academy. I'm also a student studying The Social Approach, a course by dog trainers Amy Cook, PHD, and Josefin Linderström of Canine Consilience. I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including dogs with behavioral issues. Being a pet professional is my full time job so I am available around the clock for your every need! I'm available Monday through Sunday unless I state otherwise. I care for the pets in my clients home with the care and patience. I make sure the environment is clean and safe. I believe it's extremely important to pet proof homes and take all the measures necessary to keep pets safe.

About: I have had cats and dogs growing up. I would play fetch with my dogs all the time and just hang with my cats watching TV I work full time at a hospital but I do get Tuesdays off every week and don't work ever other weekend and every other friday With living in town I do leash my dogs when she does come down from my mom's. I do also put my cats in a backpack when going for walks

“Vicki is a God send! Reliable, responsible, courteous and absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. I have utilized Vicki for both drop in visits and overnight stays, which have ranged from weekend stays to full week stays. Vicki is great with open communication and provides regular updates, including photos. She is also very flexible with her schedule and answers reservation requests within 24 hours. I would highly recommend this pet sitter! A+++”

About: With over 2 years of hands-on experience through BOCES in animal science and direct pet care, I’ve built a strong foundation in understanding animal behavior, health, and handling. I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals—from dogs and cats to small animals and farm animals—and I apply that knowledge to every pet I care for. What sets me apart: 🐾 2 Years of BOCES Animal Science Training – Gained in-depth knowledge of animal care, grooming, nutrition, and behavior through a structured, hands-on program. 🐾 Puppy Training Basics – Experienced in house-training, crate-training, and teaching simple commands using positive reinforcement. 🐾 Senior Pet Care – Comfortable administering oral medications, assisting with mobility, and giving extra patience to older pets. 🐾 Pet CPR & First Aid Certified – I’m trained to handle emergency situations calmly and confidently. 🐾 Farm & Large Animal Experience – Confident caring for goats, pigs, horses, and more, including feeding, mucking, grooming, and turnout. 🐾 Personalized Pet Attention – I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and personality, helping them feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. Thanks to my BOCES background and real-world experience, I bring both knowledge and heart to every pet sitting job I take on. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s not just something I do, it’s something I love. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to each pet I care for, whether it’s a morning walk, midday potty break, or overnight stay. I'm available for: 🕘 afternoon, and evening visits 🌙 Overnight stays and extended care 📅 Weekdays & weekends – I’m open most days and can often accommodate last-minute bookings. Because I plan my day around the pets I care for, I make sure each one gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Your pet’s routine becomes my routine while they’re in my care! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment for their pets. I stick to your routines as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs—so your pet feels safe and stress-free while you're away.

“Kolby is an awesome sitter and he takes care of more than dogs! I have a farmstead that includes a horse, a goat, an emu and over 60 chickens and other foul that include babies right now. Kobe did overnights and everybody was well taken care of and happy. One of my dogs is very standoffish with strangers and a little bit intimidating and Kobe handled that like a champ. I'm super pleased with Colby and I will definitely be looking to book with him in the future. His rates are very reasonable. If you have animals besides just the normal cats and dogs, Kobe will be able to help you with that. Farmsteaders and homesteaders, this guy is great!”

“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 worked with all different kinds of animals, from domestic cats an dogs to guinea pigs,rabbits,lizards, etc. Family an friends have relied on me to walk, feed & bathe their pets. Along with grooming, nail trimming, etc. I work at a veterinary clinic with that being said I am available on weekdays anytime after 5:00pm and weekends anytime. Pet care fits my schedule great its what I was born to do working with animals. I have a huge yard to run around in with your critter, along with 1 dachshund to keep you oets company. If your pet needs to be crated or have medication, etc. I have plenty of room an chalk boards to remind of times for feeding an medication if needed. I currently work at a veterinary office. So pet care works into my routine on a daily. I have 1 dog of my own that I care for and make sure he is updated on shots, etc. I am able to pretty much do alot of things for pets, like nail trims, give medications if need be, alone with just walking the dogs etc. I care for animals anyways youd like your pretty to be cared for, if you pet needs medication, or certain play times etc. I'm more then happy to do so, I feel walking or having that one on one time with the pets is very important.

“My dog typically "hates" men. But I was in a jam with a last-minute, two-week trip, and Noah was willing to do a meet-and-greet to see how it went. Shiloh loved him from the start. She was nervous for the first few days after I left, but eventually Noah won her over. He sent photos and videos, and I could tell she was in loving hands. I highly, highly recommend this lovely young man for your dog-sitting and house-sitting needs!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship.

My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

About: Growing up I’ve always had a pet, whether it was a dog, cat, reptile, hamster, bunny, etc. The past experience I have is from ages 10 weeks-12 years old. I’m up for any task and have no trouble walking dogs who pull. I use a harness for one of my pups and he is always comfortable walking with me. I currently work full-time but have a flexible schedule. I have two dogs of my own but have help with them. Can always adjust schedule as needed. I treat every pet the way I would want someone to treat my pet. I don’t neglect and I listen to rules very carefully. I’m a very trustworthy person and can even send hourly updates on your furry friend!

About: I have had much experience around animals. From the time I was little, our family has taken care of 3 dog and 5 cats. As I grew up, I have had my own cat that lived with me for 18 years, name was Virginia. She was half siamese. I am currently working partime, so I will have plenty of time working with your pups and cats! I am also available on the weekend for boarding! I have a nice apartment in a safe neighborhood in Irondequoit. I can walk and housesit your cat/dog in a safe place. Their is also a dog park behind my home.

“Luis took great care of my dogs. Kodak is on a strict crate rest and meds. Luis was able to administer his meds and ensure he was ok. Jacky is my hype dog and he loved Luis. He sent pictures and updates through the stay. I had no worries:). If you’re looking for a sitter, Luis is your guy! I will definitely booked him for future needs.”

“Christine took great care of our two dogs and our home for a full week. We received updates daily with pictures of the dogs enjoying their time with Christine and came home to the house in fantastic shape. We hope to have Christine again when we’re out of time next!”

“Paulina was a lifesaver for us and was able to accommodate a very short request period and provided excellent care. She continually reached out to us with pictures and videos of our puppy and let us know how the day was going. She had very appropriate questions regarding his care and completed all of our requests without issue. We're very lucky to have found her and appreciate the work she does!”

About: Hi there! I’m Gigi, I work from home full-time and only take a few dogs at a time, so every pup gets lots of attention in a comfortable, home environment🤍 We carry our own private pet care insurance (not just Rover’s standard protection). We also keep a consistent routine so everything feels easy for the dogs. I help dogs get comfortable using our dog door so they can go in and out freely and keep their usual routine. I’ve worked with puppies as well and can help reinforce things like potty training, crate time, and settling into a new environment. We keep things relaxed and typically have up to 3 dogs at a time, so every dog has space to feel comfortable. We do a quick meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Our setup works best for small to medium dogs. We have a fully fenced yard with a custom-built dog door, plus added safety features like anti-dig guards and front porch fencing for extra peace of mind. We also have cameras covering the backyard and main dog areas so we can keep a close eye on everyone. Inside, things are clean, cozy, and dog-safe, with floors and common areas kept clear so dogs don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. There’s also a fully enclosed indoor play area if separation is ever needed. My husband Nate and I care for the dogs together, and our two friendly pups help new dogs feel at home quickly :) ⸻ 🐾 Your pup will enjoy: – Small group – 24/7 dog door access to fenced backyard (fresh water always available) – Clean, dog-safe spaces (no kitchen access) – Separated during feeding to avoid conflicts – Daily walks or runs in a quiet neighborhood – Photo/video updates – Plenty of playtime and supervision (Healthy snacks like yogurt, berries, or pumpkin if you’re okay with it 😊) ⸻ We’re located right off the highway—Rochester’s last exit before Buffalo/Canada, only about 10 minutes from ROC Airport. I’m always quick to respond, and can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We do ask for booking at least a week in advance so we can schedule a quick meet & greet 🤍 I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, and regular check-ins, and can let dogs out frequently as needed while keeping a consistent routine. We have a fully fenced yard with a dog door, so pups can go in and out easily. Inside is clean, dog-safe, and set up for a calm, well-managed environment.

“Edward did a great job for us. He and our dog Buddy got along famously, and he was especially diligent about keeping us informed about Buddy’s time with him. Edward stayed with Buddy for five days and kept us up-to-date throughout. Additionally, the house was left in perfect condition. We will certainly use Edward for our next trip away.”

“Sarah took great care of my dog and gave her exercise every day. I liked receiving photos while I was away to see my dog looked happy. I was able to enjoy being away knowing my house and dog were in good hands. I'll definitely re-book with Sarah in the future.”
