“Alyssa was amazing. She was kind, communicative and so so so great and communicative. I was stressed to part with Channing; but Alyssa was so wonderful and let me ramble on and on until I was ready to leave. She sent plenty of updates to ease my stress. Would highly recommend! Thank you thank you again!”

“Ona was responsive and attentive! She has a calm manner that benefited both us and our pups:) Sam and Maisie were well cared for, happy, no anxiety or stress.( I think they were looking for her instead of us when we got home.) She managed a potentially stressful situation with another dog when they were out for a walk and I was grateful and impressed by her skill. we look forward to having Ona stay again when we next are away! Thank you Ona!”

“Nikole took such good care of my dog! He doesn’t take to new people easily but Nikole made him feel comfortable around her very quickly. She was very prompt and sent me lots of updates and pics. I would book with Nikole again for sure!”
“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”
“John was amazing. This was the first time we had a sitter for our 10 month old lab and he made us feel so comfortable and relaxed about the entire experience. He helped train our dog and made him comfortable when we were gone. We can’t wait to ask for John to help us in the future. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about dogs. Lucky to have found him.”
“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.”
“Very much appreciate the last minute availability and the good care of my pup Nilla! I would’ve liked more updates on how it was going, but I just get nervous leaving her, especially with new people. Everything in the house was we left it and Nilla was perfectly content when we’re arrived home.”
“David was wonderful with my dog and cat while we were away for a long weekend! They were well-taken care of and I would definitely book again!”
About: I've had pets my entire life! I've taken care of my own pets - dogs, cats, snakes, gerbils, and rats - who have had a variety of needs including meds, fluids and inhalers, and friends', family, and neighbors' pets! I have always been a huge animal lover and having just moved back to Rochester with my partner as he starts his residency, I have a lot of free time! I would love to help with your animals! I have two cat and dog friendly cats who have a good routine and are always looking for new friends to play with! My apartment is secure and I dote on my kitties!
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”

“Suzanne was a terrific dog sitter for us! Punctual, communicative, trustworthy and friendly, we knew our pups would be in good hands. Suzanne provided us with several photos, videos and updates, all of which were much appreciated as we don’t often have folks stay with our dogs. We were able to fully rest and relax away from home, knowing our dogs were in loving hands!”
“Ricky "petsat" our elderly dog and 2 cats in our home for 4 nights and they were well taken care of. Our dog requires multiple medications and Ricky was comfortable with administering. He didn't balk at cleaning up little cat puke! He is quick with communicating and sent us photo updates. I felt comfortable that our fur babies were being well cared for. Thank you Ricky.”
“Teri was great! She was communicative and on time. She seemed to do very well with Tucker, who takes a while to warm up to new people. I'd definitely request her service again!”

“I thought to myself this morning how I barely worried about my cat during my five day vacation…. and it's because of Jada! She kept me updated throughout - let me know when she was leaving/going and sent plenty of pictures.. I 1000% recommend her! Thank you Jada!!”
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets! My family owned an English Mastiff breeding and showing business. We had 5 mastiffs and they were all my best friends. I also had 4 cats. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I’ve watched all different animals of different sizes, ages, and needs. I will be happy to send updates and pictures! I’ve recently lost my old dog (Rex) that I cared for and I miss having pets around. My happiest self comes out when I’m with animals! Feel free to contact me with any questions at any time! I’m available on the weekends now for boarding and drop-in visits since I work full time Monday-Friday. I can do some drop-ins and walks on weekday early mornings and evenings as well! My home has a fenced in yard, mounted food and water bowls, a dog bed, dog gates on every stairwell, and I even have extra dog food. There are stairs to get into my house, but I used to carry my old mastiff up and down them so it should be no problem for me.

She currently cares for two lovable and energetic cats, who require a great amount of love and diligence, and I can personally say they are very content to have found their forever home. In addition to caring for her personal cats, Carolyn has experience raising and training young pups in her family home, and being granted the opportunity to care for exotics. Not only will you enjoy having your pets cared for by Carolyn, but you will request her service again for her attention to detail and her kind heart.”
