“Alex was timely with his dog walks and was always sure to send updates and pictures! He doesn’t leave until your dog is comfortable! Thank you Alex!”

“Thank you Matt for not only braving the cold temps (coldest yet this winter). But also for bringing Zeke home tired enough for a long nap! Thank you!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life and I love and care for them all. My own dog is my whole world and I treat all dogs like they are my own. I am a college student on summer break looking for dog walking and dog sitting opportunities. I have lots of free time and can do drop in visits as well. I will respect everything in my clients house and listen to all of the instructions they give me. I will care for the dog and make sure all it’s needs are met.

“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!”

“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.”

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.

About: Hi, I'm Tom! I've spent over four decades living with and loving animals, and I've never lost that "avid" spark for a day spent with a dog. I'm an active person who genuinely enjoys being outdoors, so if your dog has energy to burn, they've met their match! I truly enjoy working with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Whether it's a slow, gentle stroll for a senior pup, a playful walk for a growing puppy, or a high-energy trek for a large breed, I adapt my pace to meet your dog's specific needs. While I love the little guys, I am also more than capable of handling "gentle giants" and strong pullers with confidence and care. I'm well-versed in using various walking gear, from standard leashes to front-clip harnesses, ensuring every dog stays safe and controlled regardless of their size. Whether it's a brisk neighborhood power-walk or exploring local trails like Durand Eastman or Lucien Morin Park (two of my dog's favorites), I tailor every outing to your dog's fitness level. I'm not just there to "do the job"—I'm there to make sure your pup gets the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to be happy and tired by the time they get home. In my personal life, I am also a primary caregiver for my mother, who manages daily medical conditions. Because of this, staying on a strict schedule, managing precise routines, and being deeply observant is second nature to me. I bring that exact same level of patience, compassion, and structure to every animal under my supervision. I'm available every day from 11 am - 3 pm Dog walking: 30 or 60 minute neighborhood strolls. Drop in visits: Short check-ins for feeding, potty breaks, or playtime in client's home. Pet Taxi: Adventure Excursions: for trips to the groomer, vet, and daycare. Doggy Shuttle: Solo or group hikes and adventures at some of our fine local parks Senior and Medical Care: Medication administration (pills or injections) and gentle strolls with backup wagon assist if needed. Puppy specialized care: Frequent short visits tailored for training and socialization needs of dogs under one year old. No extra charge for basic feeding or oral medication administration... Safety is my top priority, and I take a proactive approach to ensure every pet in my care is secure and comfortable. With over 40 yrs experience, I've learned that anticipation is key especially with large breeds. I am always vigilant about my surroundings and focused entirely on your dog. Gear check: I perform a thorough check of all leashes, collars, and harnesses before every walk to ensure they are in perfect working order. On-leash Only: For maximum safety, I keep all dogs on leash during our outings, even in off-leash areas, unless we are in a 100% secure, fenced in yard. Environmental awareness: I avoid interactions with unfamiliar dogs or people on walks to prevent any unpredictable situations. I am also highly mindful of the weather, ensuring paws are protected from hot pavement and that pups stay hydrated. Home Security: When entering and exiting your home, I use extra caution to prevent "door dashing." I treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. After our visit or walk, i take a moment to send you a detailed "Report Card." You'll get a summary of our route, their behavior, and-of course- at least 2-3 great action shots from our time together. I treat every schedule with the same reliability I'd want for my own pets. Rochester weather can be unpredictable! For the safety of your pet, I may shorten walks during extreme heat (90+) or dangerous wind chills. In these cases, we will spend the remaining time playing indoors or doing mental enrichment challenges, so they still get their energy out. Depending on your specific dog's tolerances and needs...

“Not only is Lindee wonderful with my dog. but she is also incredibly accommodating! I have had a crazy work schedule recently and have needed to make numerous last minute changes to scheduled visits- Lindee always goes out of her way to be there for my dog and me!”

“Did a great job walking my dog on such short notice! She was willing to meet my dog beforehand to make sure she was comfortable with her which I really appreciated.”

Emmie M.

“Fantastic. Stayed the full hour, followed all instructions, and my pups were calm and happy when I got home. It was a relief knowing they’re in good hands when I’m away. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”

About: 18 years of dog/cat sitting experience who has a deep love for all animals. We treat every pet like they are our own. Guaranteed they leave happy every time! We take every dog we watch for at least one long walk daily (If they are able), and can adjust as needed based on your preferences. We have a very open and accommodating schedule. Your pet will never be left alone all day! Melissa and I make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. We have fenced in yard with a good amount of space for dogs to run and have a 4 year old yellow lab who loves to play and will help get energy out. She has the awareness to pull back if other dogs don’t want to play with her. We have a 7 year old cat who will typically hide upstairs in her room while new animals are over. Luna is friendly when she comes around. I have a long time girlfriend Melissa, who lives with me and will be helping out.

“Rico is great and my GSD loves him! He gets sad when he leaves. He is helping exercise him and work his brain and body to hopefully be less reactive in the world.”

“Thank you so much! I hear you guys are besties now 🥰”

Kendra G.

“Perfect! John was so very nice and friendly to both me and Teddy. He knew just how to treat a young dog with very little experience walking along with a strange person and also handle the anxiety Teddy gets when he sees or hears larger animals. Our experience(s) were great and we will book with you again John. Thank You, Donna, Julia, and Teddy”

About: Hello there ! My name is Grace and I am 25 years old living in Rochester NY and love all animals! I worked for Lollipop farm for about a year as an adoption counselor but decided to part ways with the career as I’ve found other hobbies. But since then I’ve always found my way back with fostering and animal sitting for friends and family. I’d love to extend the love to your furry friend too! I can’t wait to meet your animals and give them all the love! So I work full time right now but the hours aren’t the same each week but I’m always free before 9AM and the latest 9PM. So it all depends on the animals needs. I try to have them get use to my scent first, give them attention, and make sure to ask the owner as many questions as needed to make the situation easier for the animal. Since I would be someone new.

About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.

About: I've had dogs my whole life, and I am hoping I can help with yours. I have a dog who is 11 who needs daily medication, so if that's you, I have you covered. I can help most while my big is at school, but I can flex if you need a specific time. I am happy to offer to walking, checkins, feeding and medication I am a SAHM for a 20 month old, so I can drop by most times, just let me know what you need from me. As I mentioned, I am no steanger to medication, not averse to the yuck stuff, I have my own kids. I have walked all kinds of dogs for years, both as a volunteer and at home.
