“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!”


“I highly recommend David as a dog walker! He’s always punctual, quick to respond, and incredibly flexible, making the entire process smooth from the get-go. David treats my home with respect and shows genuine affection for Memphis. He takes him on long walks that leave my pup happily worn out, which I truly appreciate. I also do love the regular photos he sends, and they reassure me of their time together. Overall, it’s been a fantastic experience so far with no issues whatsoever. David would be a wonderful addition to your dog’s routine!”


“Rebecca is so attentive and gave such incredible notes about our sweet guy Yeti—and even gave some love to our cat, Lupin! We will definitely have Rebecca again!”


“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. ?”


“Veronica let us know promptly when we had an issue with our leash/collar to keep our dog Biscuit safe and sound! Thanks for being so great and being our go-to dog walker.”


About: I'm very comfortable with dogs and I enjoy getting to know their personalities and spending time with them. I have experience with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs & cats requiring palliative care, ensuring they remain comfortable and well cared for. I have also boarded dogs while clients were out of town. I would love to brighten your pet's day, reach out with a request! I'm a freelance worker so my schedule is very flexible, please feel free to reach out and I can adjust to your schedule and needs! I make sure each fur baby feels welcomed and as comfortable as they would be at home. They can lay on furniture and roam in a comfy space and soak up the sun.

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!

“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!”


“John was excellent with my dog. He was polite and dependable. I knew I could count on him and that my dog was safe in his hands!! I recommend him!!! I'll be using John's services as long as I'm living in Rochester.”


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: I have always grown up with animals in my life, and currently I have two sweet kitties! I love working with cats and I’d love to have more kitties in my life to care for, and this is my way of doing so! My job as a music therapist is very flexible which means I have lots of opportunities to visit, play, and love on your sweet kitties! I can provide any care your cat requires! I have experience with kitties prone to more anxiety or cats who require more attention, i.e. specific medications or bodily care.

“I can’t begin to express how grateful I am to have met Portia. She is SO skilled with challenging dogs, as evidenced by her work with my pup. Winston is known at his vet as “that dog (somewhat affectionately😆). He is a reactive, anxious rescue who takes a very long time to warm up to people; I knew it might be a struggle to find a regular walker for him. Portia has been incredibly patient, kind, and diligent in working with Winston. I’m thrilled that she’s earned his trust, because now I can stay at work all day without having to worry about running back during my lunch break to walk him. I’ve told many of my pet-parent friends about Portia, since she’s so incredible with Winston- I imagine she’s the same with other animals! I give Portia my very highest rating; Winston and I are incredibly lucky to have her in our lives!”


About: My first pet was at age 10. I’ve had everything, from pet rats to parrots to dogs. I love animals, their love is unconditional. We have two dogs now. One is Frenchie/Boston mix, who is 3yo. She is a ball of energy and loves to give lots of kisses. We also just adopted a male Chihuahua, who was on the way to be put down. He is a sweetheart and gets a long with my 8 yo daughter and our other dog, beautifully. He loves to cuddle and to be carried around everywhere. My schedule allows for some flexibility, I can be available for walks, drop ins and more, as well as last minute appointments on occasion . I will care for your fur babies the way you do, the way they’re used to being cared for. Having animal friends myself, I understand how important that is and safety and attention that they need and deserve.

“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.”



“Hannah showed up when she said she would. She also communicates with me in a timely fashion. Her rates are reasonable and my dogs looked happy to walk with her in their pictures. I will definitely use her services again.”


About: People have called me the "dog-whisperer", but I have an affinity with animals of all kinds. I have had several happy and sometimes spoiled dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, I am also the only person I know who never lost their hamster as a child. I love going on long walks and hikes, I even once had a cat who liked to go on walks with me. Dogs I have cared for in the past, have been known to miss me after they went home and were excited to see me again the next time. I am almost always available, very punctual, quite active, and I love having a furry four legged companion on a walk or a nice long hike. I am a full time student. My availability is generally open in the afternoon and evenings during the week, with full availability on the weekend. I like to follow instructions so a list is handy, I can take your pets on walks or hikes, and im very good at keepimg animals company and entertained.
