Dog Sitting Geneseo

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager. I can take care of cats or dogs and will love them like they are my own! Animals are my passion in life and I love to spend my free time taking care of them. I work Monday-Thursday but am available after 5:00PM on those days and any time Fridays and Saturdays. I currently have two cats of my own who I love to spend my time with as well. I am experienced in safely harnessing, walking and crating dogs. I also have owned animals my whole life and am aware of their boundaries and the fact that all animals are different.

About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.

“Elizabeth was fantastic with our boys. We (boys included) knew as soon as we met her, she was a perfect fit. This was our first time using Rover but Elizabeth really put our mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again.”

About: Our family has always had a dog. Today we have 3. Dogs like their routines, weithers its a walk, dinner or social time. A well excersized puppy is a happy one. I am currently working part-time and able to stop by during the day. If your pal needs some social time, a walk or just meal. Give me a call. Your dog will be able to trust me as they do you. I want your dog to feel safe and happy when they see, hear or smell me.

About: Taken care of dogs for my entire life, adore and cherish them. Have helped all friends and family when their in need of a sitter! Currently working part time. My hours are usually nights from 4pm to late night. Once in a while I work a lunch/ afternoon shift. I am very flexible Will be there to comfort your babies, and care for them, take them on nice walks maybe car rides if they like those and even a bath if needed/wanted to feel fresh!

About: During my youth I was surrounded by all sorts of animals. My dad took in cats and my mom fostered dogs. Living in the country, a few of my friends had farms with an assortment of animals. My junior and senior year of high school I moved to Tennessee and enrolled in 4-H. My family started a little farm of our own. Which included goats and chickens. I had planned to go to veterinary school. I ended up having to move back to New York. There were a few animals that stuck out to me while growing up. First my all black main coon. She was my first animal. A Rottweiler named Brutus, he ate every left shoe. My first ever coon hound mix. His name was Eli. During my middle school times I received two mastiff pit bull puppies for Christmas. I raised both of them. Once they were trained, one of them was given to my great grandfather as a companion. The other stayed with me until my father’s dog passed and he eventually took my dog. They are ever happy together. After high school I spent most of my time working. Making ends meet. From waitressing to working at a hospital as a patient care technician. May of 2025 I moved to Georgia and was expecting a little boy in August. My mother does rover and she had gifted me the information to maybe help my situation. I had a few under the table clients down in Georgia and I found that I throughly enjoyed spending time with animals. I remember why I wanted to go to veterinary school. Come August of 2025 I had my son. Fast forward to now(2026) I’m back in NY and would love to find some new fury friends. I can be very flexible. I do have a baby that would most likely come with me. He is good around animals. We have a German shepherd Akita at home and I would never allow anything to happen. Setting boundaries and keep the separation is always a priority. If that’s not a problem, I can come by any time of the day. I have reliable and consistent transportation. Regardless if I’m just stopping in or staying, I always respect and try to leave your home in a better condition that I found it. Making sure there’s a safe environment. Your fur baby is happy and loved.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.

“Huge huge huge shout out to MacKenzie for watching my pups while I was out of town! I just moved up here and was a little worried about being away from the new place/state and leaving the dogs up here in the meantime. However, MacKenzie just seemed trustworthy, cool, and kind, and I was right! Not only did she want to make sure she did a good job and followed their schedules and everything to a T, she also just loved and cared about them instantly. What really sold MacKenzie as just being a rockstar was her willingness to work with my one dog who has major stranger danger and takes a bit to trust especially with females. MacKenzie did what she could and spent a lot of time focusing on his comfortability and building his trust with her while still ensuring my other dog got her attention and love as well. Throughout the visits, MacKenzie gave me numerous photos and videos as well as updates from all her visits. I am truly grateful to have had her help and her love and care for my animals while I was away. I will 100% be using MacKenzie from here on out for my animal’s care!”

About: Always had pets (cats, dogs, rodents) growing up, one year of horse barn experience and dog training apprenticehood at Summit K9 in Rochester NY! My dog training consisted of... - consistent feedback from two licensed trainers - leash walking skills - reactivity reduction (barking at other dogs, the door, people) - managing doggy daycare including half a day of one on one training and half a day of social groups - creating groups, managing consistent training across multiple employees - assessing the training and social level of any particular dog - crating skills - taking crate sensitive/aggressive dogs in and out of crates - walking people sensitive/stranger aggressive dogs - teaching cue recognition (place, sit, down, yes, no) - caring for boarding dog's needs - walking multiple dogs at once, training dogs to walk together With cats I am comfortable and knowledgeable about... - providing appropriate play - basic training using food incentive and luring - picking up a cat appropriately by supporting the spine and reducing tension on the scruff - responding to stomach issues and puke - reading body language for anxiety and aggression With horses I am familiar and comfortable with all daily care including stable cleaning and fetching skiddish horses from pasture. As for my pets.. My first cat was a stray found at 4 weeks that I learned how to teach to groom and care for himself. I also know how to manage ear mites, or any other kind of skin or tick care. Our dog was a breeder who also has needed a lot of specialized care. I am most experienced with rodents (have owned over 8 rats, 4 guinea pigs and a rabbit)! I've never personally owned a bird or a lizard, but have cared for friends and I always commit to accurate research. If you have any questions or worries regarding my experience and competency I would love to hear from you! I am very available right now, and I intend to make pet care my biggest priority. I am happy to discuss all kinds of scheduling. I love going above and beyond for my pets. Our cats are indoor and outdoor but I am always checking on them and keep a consistent feeding schedule to prevent overeating (they have sensitive stomachs). Our dog is also very needy, as she has some anxiety from her last owner so she needs to always be accompanied while outside and will not do certain things alone. I keep my rats in my room where they get frequent engagement with the whole family, and I enjoy making homemade puzzles and toys for them. Overall, all of our animals live active, healthy lives!

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and a few cats over the years. I am available to stay over night if needed, I have taken care of senior dogs that need health support, i have also taken care of puppies as young as 5 months old. I also have experience giving oral medicine to dogs. My availability is Monday mornings to late Thursday nights. I can stay all day or all night if needed for the pet. I unfortunately can’t do weekends. I am able to take care of cats and dogs, old or young, and give oral medicine if needed. I will need written instructions on what time the dog/cat needs to be fed, walked, times for giving medicine if needed, and if there are any diet restrictions.

“Logan was absolutely amazing...! I got pictures and texts all through the day... Wonderful experience... Will hope to use her services again...!”

About: **More then happy to negotiate prices** I have taken care of dogs, cats, and some barn animals since 2016 (or before that!). I have worked in the veterinary field since 2021; receptionist, boarding team, assistant, and manager. I am certified to do therapy exercises with dogs and similar pets. I have experience with medically complex/special needs pets. One of my current dogs are dog-selective and I have had fear-free training, which makes me comfortable with animals who need behavioral accommodations. I am comfortable medicating pets (oral, topical, and injectable). I do work full time, but when ever I am not at work and I am able to take care of more animals I will! As long as our schedules match I can care for your pet. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my house. But in your home I can follow any rules/schedules to make sure your pet is comfortable, medically taken care of, and happy! I am comfortable using the following tools: crates, harness, gentle leaders, prong collars, training collars, and different procedures required for medication administration.

“Our pups were very happy!! 😊”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I looked after neighborhood dogs when the family would be out of town. I walk them, feed them, play with them, and have had dogs stay with me at my home. I take care of my own dog and we are very active. Being active is part of my dog’s breed and is something I could provide for animals that are at home while owners are at work or out of town. I live in a townhome with one dog that will keep your pet busy! Sage loves to play, run, and swim. As far as going to other homes I have stayed in the home for a couple hours playing with the animals. Either one works for me. When we do have another dog stay with us, we constantly stay active and also have time for rest. Dog parks, hikes, walking on the beach, are some examples of activities that I have done with other dogs.

“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From our first message, she was professional and easy to communicate with—always providing updates and photos so I knew my dog was happy and safe. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for pup and a tidy house. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I would 100% recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Amber showed up last minute which was very helpful. I just wish the price was a little lower for two dogs so I could use her more often. She was fabulous.”

About: I've been around animals my entire life. I had 2 dogs and a cockatiel growing up that I helped care for. I have personally owned dogs, rats, fish, rabbits, chickens and ducks. I also used to foster small animals for a local rescue and have found fantastic homes for over 50 small animals. I work a few hours a day from home so I have plenty of time to interact and take care of your pets & fur babies. I'm available most days and nights. I am self-employed and work from home so I can take care of your pets needs at any time of the day since my schedule is flexible. I personally have 2 dogs, a rabbit, chickens and ducks at my home so there are plenty of things to help keep your pets occupied and happy. I also used to foster small animals for a rescue I helped out with. My yard is unfenced, but I live on a quiet street and have an open area across from my home to play fetch or throw a frisbee with your dogs and mine. In regards to caring for pets in your own home I follow any directions you give me for food/treat schedules, how often they need to go outside, things your pets can and cannot do, etc.

About: I have always had pets my whole life, a whole variety of them too! I have experience working with much larger animals including horses as well, which happen to be my favorite! I have cared for a handful of neighbors pets including walking them, feeding, taking out, and playing too. I am working part-time currently so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your feline or fido! Walks are always a plus as I get my exercise too! I am always one to put the animal first. If your baby is a little more skiddish, I'll give them plenty of time to warm up! If they want to play an extra few minutes, I'm more than happy to throw their toy for them. If they would rather relax and cuddle, I will be more than happy! Whatever they want always comes first.

About: Certified in pet first aid. Experienced in caring for diabetic dogs requiring blood sugar testing and insulin. Fantastic at understanding happy and unhappy canine behaviors. I am self-employed, so it is very easy for me to schedule around others schedules. I enjoy being home with my fur babies, so I always have availability. I have a big fenced in yard and I do not have any neighbors. My home is surrounded by woods. My small dogs are very happy to have playmates come over.
