“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!”
“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!”
“Emily is lovely and my Maddie immediately felt comfortable with her. I was able to schedule with her same day which is great. We will definitely be contacting her regularly. ?”
“Rebecca took care of my pups as if they were her own. Her reports showed she was really paying attention to them and the pictures showed they were their excited happy little selves- both made me miss them more but also feel less guilty about not being there to walk them myself. I will definitely book with her again.”
“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!”
“Ronnie was very through with the preparation for service. Asked plenty of questions about habits and routines. Was punctual, and provided exactly what I needed, and will be my 1st ask if necessary in the future.”
“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: Hi! My name’s Misa and I’ve been an animal lover since I was a kid. Once my family got our first dog when I was 8 years old, we were inseparable. She was my partner in crime~ Now I have a cat of my own and he owns my heart! He’s pretty food motivated so I clicker trained him, and he knows about 10 tricks :D He also has some health issues so I’m familiar with giving cats medication. I recently graduated with my master’s from the UR and I’m still in the process of looking for a job. Which means my schedule is super flexible to hang out with your pet! I’m detail oriented, reliable, and respectful of your space and your pets~ I'm currently on the job hunt after finishing my master's degree so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate drop-ins in the morning or afternoon as well as the evening~ I'll do my best to adhere to your pet's normal routine and of course be respectful of their boundaries. I'll follow any instructions given and reach out if any further clarification is needed!
About: I have been providing dog and cat care for friends and family over 30 years. I am very attentive to animal emotional and physical needs. I am currently unemployed and available at any time with reasonable advanced notice. I can do overnight or day sitting as well as potty break/walking visits. I have plenty of outdoor space to take pets on leashed walks. I also enjoy taking dogs on nature hikes with difficulty based on age and ability.
About: From high-energy pups to more anxious or reserved dogs, I have the skills and experience to take care of all of your pups needs! I love every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I'm a grad student with night classes coming up part-time this fall, meaning I have lots of time during the day to take care of your pet! When I care for pets in their own home, I cater to their needs - whether that's giving lots of attention, playtime, or snuggles. I'm always careful to respect household rules and keep everything clean and safe. I'll also keep you updated on a regular basis, and make sure to send lots of pictures while you're away!
“Jacqueline is very professional and takes great care of my dogs! She’s always on time and very responsive. She takes care of the house and makes sure to wipe paws from the snow or rain. Definitely recommend her services if you need a reliable walker/sitter!”
“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.”
“Geoff was very responsive in booking up the walks, came for a nice meet and greet and then was great with communicating and completing the dog walks as scheduled. We will definitely contact him again if the need arises. Thanks, Geoff!!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Since I was born, my family has had dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as a small farm. I believe pets deserve the love and care that make them feel like true members of the family. With seven years of experience working in healthcare, I know how to provide attentive care, affection, and the right support in any situation that may arise. I’m an active person who enjoys running, cycling, and racing sailboats, so long walks and playtime are never a problem. I believe in keeping pets engaged, comfortable, and happy—because a healthy, stimulated pet is one that enjoys a longer, fuller life. A little about me: I graduated from St. John Fisher and, while I don’t currently have pets of my own, that simply means I can give your furry friend my full, undivided attention. I would love the opportunity to work with you and get to know the four-legged members of your family. I’m currently seeking my next employment opportunity, which means I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. Whether it’s an overnight stay, a drop-in visit, or just a quick walk around the block, I’m here to help. With my background caring for both household pets and farm animals, I am confident in my ability to look after your beloved family member. While I do not currently have pets of my own or the facilities to board them, I am well-acquainted with local dog parks and experienced in safely managing animals, including keeping them separated if any agitation arises
