Dog Sitting Fairport

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).

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I am happy to walk, bathe, feed, play, and cuddle! Comfortable administering meds or any other special requests. I recently lost my soul dog, so trying to get some extra dog love <3 I work full time but have a hybrid schedule! Usually work 9-5 M-F. Happy to check on pets before/after work and on lunch break. I have a small unfenced yard that I can take a dog to on leash. Happy to provide a crate if needed. Have loads of toys

“Morgan has been walking my dog twice a week and she is so good to us both! I love getting the pictures while I am at work and I couldn’t be happier with the love my girl has gotten from Morgan! I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: I LOVE animals and I’ve worked at a shelter taking care of animals of all ages! I have fostered puppies and older dogs multiple times! I do a lot of babysitting and personal training so I am home most days of the week and I have a very flexible schedule! I currently live in a house with a backyard! There are trails in my neighborhood which lead to a dog park that I’ve walked on before. We also have porch for chilling outside.

About: First, what sets us apart is that we can provide pet care for many animals, not just dogs and cats. If you are someone who needs care for all of your pets such as fish, birds, and small rodents. We are very comfortable with that and we think it would be fun to provide those services too! We have been dog sitting together for friends for over the past 7 years. Kate has been for over 20 years. We live in Rochester and are "all in" with pet care. James works at an elementary school and helps out at home in the evenings. Kate is a full-time student working on her dissertation. We are able to house sit at our clients house and we fit our daily routine with wherever we are at in the city. We always make sure that the area is “pet-proofed”. Meaning that there are no choking hazards or other things that they can get to. Keeping the home tidy and clean is very important to us.

About: Hello all! My name is Emily. I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. When I was 9 years old we got our family dog (a Havanese) and 6 years ago I adopted my soul dog petunia rose (pitbull). I sadly lost petunia in July to cancer and helped her daily for the last 6 months. I miss being around a smiley, happy, energetic dog but also found peace In helping animals who need a little more care and kindness. If you are looking for a walker, a sitter for the day, someone to administer meds, or just sit with and give some love while you’re at work, I'm your girl. I know how protective of my soul dog I was and I understand that trust is needed when going into someone’s home and watching their baby. I can assure you that I am a trust worthy, respectful and loving person who will treat your animal as if it were my own. I can’t wait to see all the fluffy babies I get to meet! I currently work full time Monday through Friday. Tuesday and Thursdays I work from Buffalo and Monday, Wednesday, Friday I work from home. I would be available MWF after 4pm and T/TH after 630. I’m free all day on Saturdays and Sundays! I make sure to ask questions and follow directions that are left by the owner carefully. I only go into rooms I am allowed and only touch items that are a part of caring for your animal. Your home is your home and I am only there to do a job of watching after your child! I will only feed your dog what I am told to, and respect all boundaries.

About: I have watched a variety of dogs, large and small. My husband and I rescued our energectic pup Nadia when she was one year old. She is a 75lb German Shepherd Hound mix and full of energy! We recently added a puppy named Trapper to our family. We rescued him at 8 weeks old! Between our siblings and parents we have 5 dogs in the extended family. I have been watching a variety of dogs for over 10 years. I have experience with senior dogs who need medication administered by mouth. My top priority is making sure your dog is comfortable, safe and happy while you are away! I am a stay at home mom to 3 kiddos so I have a lot of flexibility during the week! I am available on most weekends. I love going for walks and meeting new dogs! Right now I am not able to care for extra dogs in my own home, but am happy to do drop in visits to your home!

“Grace is absolutely wonderful. This is the first time I've ever used Rover and Grace was the best person I could have found. I have senior pets and getting several updates a day seeing that they are happy and soooooooo well taken care of means that I was able to be relaxed while out of town. As long as she is willing I will hire Grace anytime I need someone to watch my pets. She is so sweet and did a great job..even my anti social cat loved her (more than he loves me, which was hurtful and I will be having a conversation with him lol) Thank you, thank you THANK YOU Grace for being the best sitter anyone could ask for!”

“Joey is amazing with all my animals. My Cane Corso takes special introducing and not everyone I introduce him to takes the job. He liked Joey from the first day. I actually have a little farmstead with several types of animals, including a horse, a goat, an emu, over 50 chickens and other types of fowl. I even feed some of the wildlife! Joey does all of it. I get great pics and I'm always so happy with the detailed list he leaves of all the chores and extras that he does. He even remembers things that I forget to mention sometimes! Number one call for me all the time is Joey. Besides, he gave me a very reasonable farmstead rate. I highly recommend this sitter, especially if you have animals not listed on Rover!”

“Madeline was awesome! She was communicative, sent wonderful photos, and did a great job! We were able to rest easy knowing our cat was in great hands while we’re away! Thanks, Madeline!”

About: I’ve been using Rover since 2020, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets🐾 I also worked with Puppy Yoga Club, caring for 6–8 puppies during weekend classes where I would keep them safe, supervised, entertained, and well cared for throughout the day. I’m very patient, responsible, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and safe while you enjoy peace of mind. 🐶❤️🐱 My schedule is pretty flexible, I currently work another job for about 8–10 hours per week, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, house sitting and pet care. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work around your pet’s routine & needs. My goal is to make scheduling easy and convenient for both you and your furry friend! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for a pet in their home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could create a safety concern. I will also make sure food, medications, toys, and other pet supplies are handled exactly as instructed. I understand that being welcomed into someone’s home is a big responsibility. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and make sure pets are comfortable in their own environment.

“Jenine did a great job checking in on my cat. She kept me updated with pictures after every visit and gave my cat the love and attention she needed. I felt at ease knowing she was caring for my girl while I was away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Katelyn was very generous and helpful! She asked all the questions and was prepared. Our pets ended up enjoying her presence as they warmed up to her. I definitely would recommend her coming back to care for our pets if she is still around! Even through our long week away, and the weather wasn’t entirely the best, Katelyn ensure that she came and took care of our pets. And was super kind enough to clear our pathways entry to our home. I can never be grateful than that.”

About: A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, I'm currently a flutist with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra! I've been missing my spunky dog Kora who lives back home and have always grown up with dogs, which is why I've been a sitter for Rover since I moved here in 2021. Since then, I have done dog sittings, cat sittings, and even bird sittings! I love going for walks/runs, just hanging out, or curling up in the couch at home-- hopefully your dog loves some of these too! I've been taking care of dogs in total for around 15 years now, so I'm used to taking them out fairly frequently, getting up early for a morning walk, and bathing them. I am more than happy to take your dogs on a walk, or drop in and make sure they're well-fed and happy. I'm most experienced in home-care and will happily take care of your furry friends and house in whatever capacity you need! I've raised my dog Kora from puppyhood and am very familiar with the training required for puppies and dogs with reactivity. I have also fostered a handful of dogs (small dogs and large dogs alike) over the last few years and have experienced shy dogs who take some time to come out of their shells :) As a musician, I have a few hours here and there scattered throughout my day that I can walk or stop by/watch your pup. I'm a very active person and love being outside! I am more than happy to be outside/in your home with them as well! I unfortunately cannot house your furry friends because of my housing situation.

About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!

About: I love all types of animals, I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, horses, and even small pets such as rats, guinea pigs and hamsters. I can’t wait to take care of your pet I work part time almost everyday around 4-7 hours a day. The rest of the day is my free time. Weekends I can do any time needed, for example 8am-12am I play with pets inside and out, feed them, give clean water, and take nice long walks. I can even take your pet to the park!

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am also a Licensed Practical Nurse (for humans)! I have cared for neighbors, friends, friends-of-friends’ pets and am very trustworthy and caring. For most days, I’ll be home all day. I am pet-sitting and occasional babysitting at the moment so I will be there for your pet! I feed, walk, play, cuddle and give lots of love to all the fur babies and will do whatever else is requested (light housekeeping, vet appointments, etc.)

“Leslie was terrific! She followed all my odd instructions very well and my cats were very comfortable when she visited. Everything went perfectly”

About: Your fur babies safety and happiness are my top priority! Whether your dog prefers a brisk, high energy workout or a gentle, sniffing focused stroll, I tailor every walk to their specific routine and energy level. You can expect real time photo updates if requested On a weekly basis, I maintain a carefully managed calendar that balances core, recurring client walks with flexible windows for short notice needs or weekend check ins, guaranteeing reliable and stress free care for pet parents. I provide attentive, high quality care centered on the safety, happiness, and well being of every animal. I excel at creating a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure and comfortable. My approach combines reliable routine management such as precise feeding schedules and structured exercise with the love and individual attention each pet deserves. I am highly observant, quick to recognize shifts in animal body language or health, and dedicated to open, real time communication with pet owners to ensure complete peace of mind.
