“Always fantastic, my dog is a nervous little man but seems so comfortable with Melissa and her family that I know when he's with her I don't have to worry at all. Melissa's care is such a relief”


“Levi is awesome to work with! My dog Alfie absolutely loves going to daycare everyday and comes home so tired and happy, which makes me very happy too. I love the pictures and updates I receive throughout the day and Levi has been so accommodating with schedule changes. Would recommend without a doubt!”


“I was so anxious about sending my dog to day care because he's never been alone or watched by anyone but family and this experience was so above my expectations I am shocked. When I picked up my dog he was all smiles (didn't stop smiling for 2 full hours) and kept trying to go BACK to the house! He had an incredible time making friends with and playing with the other dogs in Fritz's care and I wouldn't even have a second thought about leaving my dog, the center of my entire life, in his care again. In fact I might start sending him to Fritz just so he can play with all the other dogs I've never seen him so tired and happy! Cannot recommend him more!!”


“I really am so happy with the care my dog received here. She was happy and would have probably been happy to stay and play with these wonderful humans! It feels great to know that she is being loved a LOT! Highly recommend.”


“My second time having Gigi watch my dog Charlie and I’m just blown away with how much she genuinely cares about your animal. She watched her so last minute and gave her a day full of walks and fun times. Can’t wait to have Charlie play with her again!!”


“Very satisfied with Barbara’s care of our senior Yorkie. Barbara was quick to respond to messages and she followed some pretty detailed instructions to the letter. And she sent several pictures during the day.”


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!

“Portia was amazing and I could tell through pictures and videos that he was having a blast. You know he has so much fun when I had to carry my 90lbs dog to the car because he didn’t want to leave?!! Thank you Portia!”



“Susan is amazing! She is very welcoming and great with the pups. We love that she sent us videos and photos during the day and our puppy had a fantastic day!! We can't say enough about our experience and will be regular customers from now on.”

About: I would love to take care of your pet. I have a lot of experience with cats and dog sitting. I love walking and playing with them very much. I understand their needs and treat them best I can based on their character. I genuinely love any animal I see and very happy and excited to be around them. I am very responsible person, and you can be sure that I will follow any instructions given. I can play, run, or just pet, cuddle with your dog/cat in a caring atmosphere, depending on his/her character. I will be happy to become a new friend to your pet! I am working from home right now and have pretty flexible schedule. Your pet will be with me most of the time, occasionally when I need to go to the store I may leave for an hour maximum. I have plenty of area to walk around with your dog as well as a few parks around if they are more active and love long walks.

“Sydney took our two large dogs so I could concentrate on enjoying the company of my young grandchildren without concern of them being knocked over. We dropped them in the morning and picked up at night. We got pictures of them going on good walks, and Sydney was great about responding to texts. We would definitely have her watch our boys again.”


About: *If you are UNSURE if will need boarding DO NOT send me a boarding request unless you are 100 percent sure you need services, please and thanks. Be sure to fill out the questions about your pet fully prior to contacting me, so I can inform myself about your dog. *I must preface that this site is not my primary way of booking dogs so the calendar may not always be up to date. The best way to know my availability is to message me once your service needs and dates are cemented. I provide a specific service accepting one dog at a time. I own a home that I work out of as well. I do a family dog style stay, rather than kennel format I do family style boarding. I can stick to your routine or we can do something different like getting your dog out for more walks. I understand how difficult it can be to find a place for your dog to feel the same security they do in your home with your family. I realize many people are adopting dogs that need strong handlers dogs that may be reactive or have social issues. I also understand how difficult it can be to find a boarder who is skilled in this area and a handler that your dog feels comfortable and confident with specifically if they are reactive with other dogs. And it is for this reason, I only board multiple dogs if they live in the same home. I will not accept a cold booking without meeting the dog first. Based on 24 hour schedule extra days past scheduled time naturally occur extra fees. I work for myself from home so I make my own schedule daily. I can adjust to any schedule. I typically have the dog on a nice regular routine while here. I care for all pets as if they were my own. I only take one animal at a time all of my repeat clients return for this reason alone.

“Andriana was great with Monte while we went to the PGA tournament this weekend. He had a great time playing outside and went on a walk. Thanks again, we will definitely be using her again if we are back in Rochester.”
