House Sitting Duran Eastman Park

“I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone who wants the best care and love for their pets while they’re away! I liked Hannah from the moment I met her during our meet and greet. She listened to all of my concerns and anxieties that I had. Hannah greeted me the day of departure and return. She followed my instructions thoroughly and sent me many pictures of my pets while I was away, checking in daily. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! Thank you Hannah, we will definitely be requesting your services again!”

Cassidy D.

“Nikole was awesome! She kept me updated everyday about how Bella was doing and even checked in before an unexpected thunder storm to make sure there weren’t any extra precautions that needed to be taken to keep Bella calm. Would definitely recommend Nikole and will be using her again!”

“Lavinia was amazing! My dog and two cats are very nervous and shy when meeting new people but they warmed up very quickly with Lavinia. I was going on vacation for a week and had never left them alone for more than a night but Lavinia set my mind at ease with updates multiple times a day. My animals looked very happy and well taken care of in the updates and when I got home. My apartment was spotless when I arrived back and Lavinia even left us a painting of our dog that she made which was so beautiful! I'd highly recommend Lavinia to take care of your babies!”

Jessica H.

“Draco spent some time with Bethany this past weekend. She was amazing. Communicated amazingly and sent a ton of photos which I appreciate. I was super nervous leaving him but it seem like it went really well and he was happy when we got back to get him. We will be leaving him for 10 days coming up and after this past weekend it has put me at such ease knowing he is going somewhere he is loved and cared for.”

Ciara B.

“Annaliese kept me informed as to how the dogs were doing. I received photos of the dogs about twice a day. She kept the routine for the dogs the same by following directions left. The dogs looked happy & taken care of.”

“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”

Dani M.

“We couldn't be happier with Lisa, the care she provided for our dogs. She was caring, friendly, and truly wonderful with them. She spent time playing with them, made sure they were comfortable, and treated them like her own. She listened carefully to all of our instructions and kept us feeling confident that our dogs were in great hands. Overall, she is simply the best, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”

Roberta H.

“Ona is incredible and a dog whisperer. We have a highly anxious dog and Ona took the best care of her, got her to go outside and eat (which can be tough while we are gone). So thankful for her and highly recommended!!!”

Kate R.

“We are so happy to have found Alex to watch our dog! She requires some special care, and Alex was receptive to all of our concerns, trustworthy, and gave regular updates. Plus, our dog loved him! We will definitely book with him in the future.”

“This was our first time using Emily and she was great! Friendly, communicative, & accommodating, took great care of our fur babies, and left things better than she found them! I appreciated her flexibility with a few last minute requests and that she made sure to ask questions on anything that was unclear. Would absolutely use Emily again!”

About: Hi, I'm Tom! I've spent over four decades living with and loving animals, and I've never lost that "avid" spark for a day spent with a dog. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys being outdoors, so if your dog has energy to burn, they've met their match! I truly enjoy working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Whether it's a slow, gentle stroll for a senior pup, a playful walk for a growing puppy, or a high-energy trek for a large breed, I adapt my pace to meet your dog's specific needs. While I love the little guys, I am also more than capable of handling "gentle giants" and strong pullers with confidence and care. I'm well-versed in using various walking gear, from standard leashes to front-clip harnesses, ensuring every dog stays safe and controlled regardless of their size. Whether it's a brisk neighborhood power-walk or exploring local trails like Durand Eastman or Lucien Morin Park (two of my dog's favorites), I tailor every outing to your dog's fitness level. I'm not just there to "do the job"—I'm there to make sure your pup gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to be happy and tired by the time they get home. In my personal life, I am also a primary caregiver for my mother, who manages daily medical conditions. Because of this, staying on a strict schedule, managing precise routines, and being deeply observant is second nature to me. I bring that exact same level of patience, compassion, and structure to every animal under my supervision. I'm available every day from 11 am - 3 pm Dog walking: 30 or 60 minute neighborhood strolls. Drop in visits: Short check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or playtime in client's home. Pet Taxi: Adventure Excursions: for trips to the groomer, vet, and daycare. Doggy Shuttle: Solo or group hikes and adventures at some of our fine local parks Senior and Medical Care: Medication administration (pills or injections) and gentle strolls with backup wagon assist if needed. Puppy specialized care: Frequent short visits tailored for training and socialization needs of dogs under one year old. No extra charge for basic feeding or oral medication administration... Safety is my top priority, and I take a proactive approach to ensure every pet in my care is secure and comfortable. With over 40 yrs experience, I've learned that anticipation is key especially with large breeds. I am always vigilant about my surroundings and focused entirely on your dog. Gear check: I perform a thorough check of all leashes, collars, and harnesses before every walk to ensure they are in perfect working order. On-leash Only: For maximum safety, I keep all dogs on leash during our outings, even in off-leash areas, unless we are in a 100% secure, fenced in yard. Environmental awareness: I avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people on walks to prevent any unpredictable situations. I am also highly mindful of the weather, ensuring paws are protected from hot pavement and that pups stay hydrated. Home Security: When entering and exiting your home, I use extra caution to prevent "door dashing." I treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. After our visit or walk, i take a moment to send you a detailed "Report Card." You'll get a summary of our route, their behavior, and-of course- at least 2-3 great action shots from our time together. I treat every schedule with the same reliability I'd want for my own pets. Rochester weather can be unpredictable! For the safety of your pet, I may shorten walks during extreme heat (90+) or dangerous wind chills. In these cases, we will spend the remaining time playing indoors or doing mental enrichment challenges, so they still get their energy out. Depending on your specific dog's tolerances and needs...
