Dog Sitting East Rochester

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and experience caring for others. As a youth sports director and coach, I am responsible for the safety and well-being of over 100 children, which has taught me the importance of trust, consistency, and attention to detail. I bring those same qualities to pet care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks, a young puppy working on routines and basic manners, or a senior pet that needs a little extra patience and care, I am committed to providing personalized attention. I am active, dependable, and highly organized, and I pride myself on keeping pet owners updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. As a coach and sports program director, I am highly organized and accustomed to planning my schedule around the needs of others. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks, playtime, and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine, whether that means feeding schedules, medication administration, potty breaks, or simply providing companionship and affection. I make it a priority to give every pet the attention and care they deserve and to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication administration (if needed), and any special preferences or routines. During visits, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy. I understand that pets can experience stress when their owners are away, so I focus on providing a calm, positive, and caring environment. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean and secure while I'm there. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe and well cared for. Whether it's an energetic dog that needs extra exercise, a cat that prefers quiet companionship, or a senior pet that requires a little extra patience and attention, I adapt my care to meet each pet's individual needs.

“Lindsey was great! Our meet and great went well and i felt right away that she was perfect. She has the experience and background that made me comfortable. Lindsey followed all of my crazy long notes and specifications. She did everything we asked and how we wanted it. I was able to be at work and not have to worry about the care my (fur)kids were receiving, I received good updates and detailed post visit notes. We are very cautious on who we let in our home and with our dogs. But I am extremely happy and confident with Linsey. We already booked her for our next two visits.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, and have my own cat now! I am able to care for pets of all ages, and can administer medication when needed. I’m currently a teacher on summer break, so my schedule is quite flexible. I am able to do drop-ins or extended time during your busy summer months! I will visit your pet in their own safe space and ensure they receive the very best care in their home environment. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take them to their favorite park.

About: Lots of experience caring for fur babies. Past owner of Great Danes and experience with little ones too! I have been actively fostering dogs for a local rescue for 5 years and have experience with age puppy to senior. I also have 2 dogs of my own, Vizsla and a boxer mix. Open to any breeds. Can provide video chat time with your pet or text photos. Lots of love to give your pups as I am free weekends and summer weekdays (I am a teacher assistant in Kindergarten) and would love to take them for walks if they are able. I am willing to administer medications as necessary. Available weekends during the school year and full weeks in July and August. I am a teachers assistant and have summers off to spend with your pup! I am available for frequent potty breaks, walks and will follow your preferences on crate training. Love to provide daily updates on how your dog is doing.

“Kelli was a wonderful pet sitter for my two Munchkin cats! Mochi, needed medication daily and she had no issues administering. Mochi can be difficult at times! Hachi, the shy/skittish brother was very happy with Kelli. She gave him extra pets and was happy Kelli was a human cat bed! I received several photos and updates everyday. I would definitely recommend Kelli to sit for your pets too!”

About: Hello! I am a PhD student at UofR who enjoys spending time outdoors and caring for pets. I'm turning to Rover to find new clients after previously babysitting both cats and dogs in my apartment building, whose owners have recently moved away. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and hikes, and have experience with many animals, having spent most of my life on a farm. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and keep them happy and active! I am happy to provide references. As a student, my schedule is busiest midweek, but I have plenty of free time on weekends and can easily accommodate mornings and evenings. Mondays and Fridays are also more flexible, making them great days for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting visits. I want to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I do have a car and can transport larger dogs if needed, but I usually prefer caring for pets in their own home. I can do drop-in visits, house sitting, and taking dogs on walks in your neighborhood or mine (wherever they feel most at ease).

“5 Stars aren't enough for the quality care Michele provided our precious little one. Something about her stood out in our initial search and after the meet and greet we saw why. Her confident, comfortable demeanor instantly put both my partner & I as well as our anxious, senior dog at ease. It was apparent how much she genuinely loves animals by hearing her share countless past experiences. She was thorough in asking all the right questions & covered all the bases addressing our dogs needs, respectful, on time, was fantastic at communicating, sent photos, was flexible & trustworthy-- I can't say enough good things. There are pages of dog sitters to sort thru, I'm not sure how we got this lucky, but Michele checked all of our (many) boxes and ones we didn't know needed checking! She sets the bar high. I wish we found her sooner and wholeheartedly recommend! We look forward to having her come again!”

About: I have had 2 dogs since I was 8 years old. I've learned to feed them, clean them, and play with them. I love playing and cuddling with my dogs. I have filled in for my older sister who also dog sits. My family has taken care of multiple dogs at our home over the years. I am comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I look forward to spending time with your pups! I work full time (9:00 to 4:00) but if your dog needs to be let out during the day, I will find a way to check on them. Either taking a longer lunch or asking my retired mom to check in. I respond quickly to pet sitting requests. Whether your dog is energetic or chill, I love playing and cuddling with new furry friends. We will explore the neighborhood on a walk and then crash on the couch.

“Aaron has been taking care of our puppy at lunch time. Our girl loves his visits and is always well taken care of when I get home.”

About: Hi, my name's Anna! I'm a huge fan of both dogs and cats, as well as most other animals. I've been around dogs for my whole life, from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards. Currently my family owns a Labradoodle but prior to that we had a Portuguese Water Dog. I've taken care of all sorts of animals for friends and neighbors, like cats, dogs, fish, chameleons, and more. I was on my high school's track team so I'm happy to run with dogs that need that over a walk. I am very good with dogs that have a harder time warming up to new people, my own dog gets very nervous even just going for walks sometimes, so I know many strategies to help dogs feel more comfortable. Additionally, I do have experience with older dogs that may need special care. I love all kinds of dogs, but I definitely have a soft spot for pit bulls and any type of sheepdog. I also love cats and really understand the difference in care they need when compared to dogs. I have a full time job, but I don't always work standard hours, so I'm happy to hang out with your pets during the workday when they need some extra attention! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, so I feel comfortable in tons of different situations. I feel comfortable crating dogs, adapting to dogs' specialized dietary needs and more. I've also been working with Rover on and off since I was in high school, so I'm very familiar with the app and the safety features they provide

“Jennifer was great! She took great care of my doggy! He looks happy, healthy and well taken care of! Thank you so much Jennifer!”
