About: I have had dogs my whole life. I adopted my first dog as an adult about 6 years ago, and have since raised three dogs and multiple cats. I am comfortable with large dogs (I own a 90 lbs black lab) as well as administering medications and management of high need dogs. I work from home, so while I am caring for your pets I have the flexibility to take them out whenever they need and make sure they are enriched and cared for. I have a fairly flexible work from home job, so while pet sitting I will be with your pets for the majority of the time. My own dogs are all high needs. I am experienced with reactive and anxious dogs, and have worked through significant behavioral concerns within my own pack. Let me know what your pets need to feel safe and comfortable!

“Linda was very kind and gentle with Chase. I will diffently use her again. Thanks for your services.”

“Vicki was a great! This is the first time we've used Rover and Vicki did not disappoint. She responded within 5 mins of my request and was so accommodating. She popped over to our vacation rental and spent a good 30 minutes meeting us and our dog. She was super responsible and took great care of our pup. I would HIGHLY recommend Vicki! She was AWESOME!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was in high school. I deeply enjoy walking dogs, taking care of cats, and ensuring that each animal has what they need to succeed and thrive. I am a college student with mostly morning classes. I am available for walks and drop-ins in the greater Rochester area around Henrietta, extending south to Geneseo and Lakeville. Care for pets in homes involves putting the pet and pet owners' needs first, and balancing environmental, dog, and personal needs well. I ensure this by clear communication with owners, responsibility for myself and for the care and well-being of your pets, and setting clear expectations (and treats!) with pets.

About: I work at a doggy daycare! I aspire to learn more about training and grooming! I also have pet store experience and work with small animals reptiles, and birds! i work at a doggy daycare in Henrietta. I have a pretty flexible schedule and an happy to help in mornings, nights, overnights, and on my days off! I can not offer night services at my apartment, but I will gladly house sit or check on your pups at night! I'm a super flexible person who is always looking for new opportunities!

“Hannah does a great job. Very timely and friendly.y dog mia enjoys the time spent outside and the walks”

About: Experience & What Sets Me Apart I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, and providing calm companionship. I also have basic dog training experience, including reinforcing simple commands, leash manners, and positive behavior using positive reinforcement. What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and responsible approach. I understand that every pet is different — some need active play, while others need a quiet and stress-free environment. I take the time to build trust and help dogs feel confident and comfortable. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, pay close attention to routines and behavior, and provide regular updates for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I always make time for animals and enjoy spending quality time with them. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive attention, care, and companionship without rushing. I provide a safe, calm, and positive environment for pets, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and pay close attention to each pet’s needs, behavior, and comfort. I make sure all interactions are safe, positive, and beneficial. I respect routines, keep pets supervised, and focus on building trust through calm communication and gentle care.

“Sara is awesome! She is reliable and flexible, and my dog loves her.”

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.

About: Megan- lover of all things with a beating heart; avid nature enthusiast. Have cared for pets personally and privately since I was 10. Clients relied on me for potty breaks and basic daily care. I have cat-sit as well as horse-sit. Making sure the pets are happy at all times and being engaged in their surroundings is a goal for me. Have trained several of my own dogs - I have 3 - and several dogs in the family & friends. I understand levels of obedience and train ability differ from animal to animal and have the patience to work among your animals needs. Have worked at doggie daycare and a dog kennel extensively in my career. Have administered plenty of dog medications. Bryanna - kind hearted, nurturing individual. Have been enjoying the company of my dogs and others’ pets since about 2010. Have dog-sat & cared for some wild pets, even chickens and snakes! Brought a tiny blind kitten back to life. Had roughly 2 years of basic grooming experience. Nail trimming/dremel, ear cleaning, brushing, bathing. Went on to work at a dog kennel, relocated to Buffalo, and worked at another dog kennel (the same one as Megan!) and learned even more about body language and behavior. Looking forward to meeting the sweet pets! We usually take our 3 dogs out for socialization purposes at least twice a day including walking, playing, training, public stimulation. We have a very open schedule and can almost always assist whenever a client needs. We live closely to multiple public parks, Lake Ontario, Canalside, etc. Our 3 dogs enjoy everywhere we have taken them and we hope that your pets will enjoy these places too. We do offer pet sitting at your home, we would request that we have a way to enter the home and if any products are specific to YOUR PET that they are provided for our use. (Example prescription food, medications, enrichment toys) The house sitting details will be thoroughly worked through with the homeowner beforehand.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8. My neighbors, family, and friends have all relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and play with their pets. I also have a dog of my own who I am responsible for taking care of. Every pet I have taken care of has received the best care possible. I am currently a full-time student. I only take 3 in-person classes and the rest are online so I have lots of free time and a very flexible schedule. It all depends on your pet's needs. No pet is the same so I will follow your pet's schedule. I will also take lots of pictures if you would like them of your happy pet doing their daily activies.

“As always, Elizabeth did a stellar job with my dogs, lavishing them with attention and ensuring that they got plenty of exercise. I recommend her highly.”

About: When I was in middle school, my science teacher went to the Philippines for the whole summer. I took care of her mices, dogs, guinea pigs and more. Growing up in Iowa, I have been around many animals including dogs. Also I have had friends who traveled to Europe and they had to leave their poodles, black labs and many more and trusted their dogs in my care at their home for a month or two weeks if needed when I lived in Washington state before moving to Honeoye Falls. When I dog sat, I made sure I gave medicine as instructed to the dogs as needed. I played with them, took them hiking, the beach, cuddled on the couch and learned about what they liked and don’t like and what makes them happy. I made sure that their owners were happy as well. When I was asked to come and dog sit again, the dogs would be waiting at the window waiting for my arrival. These dogs were sure happy to see me when I came back to dog sit them! I have plenty of time to play with your pups 🐶I would be available for boarding on the weekends and week days after 4pm. I would be happy to give lots of love and attention/play to your fur babies! I have a fenced yard and have two fur babies who love to socialize. I also love to spoil your dogs too! I work from home twice a week and can pet sit on the weekends as well! As for dog sitting in the client’s home I would treat your place with respect, love and care. Anything you need I will make sure that your pets receive it. I will also communicate and send pictures!

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.

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.)

“Excellent. My dog adores her. Very reasonably priced, punctual, and communication is great”

About: I've cared for animals my entire life from hamsters to cattle.. but dogs are my love! I have experience with all types and sizes, but specialize in bully breeds and mastiffs. It's important to me that dogs are balanced with training and play (which they'll get with me!). I'm also proficient in training tools such as prong and e-collars in case your pup is in training and needs continuation during our time together. I work full time from home with a flexible schedule. My work day schedule allows for drop-ins and walks given adequate notice. Emergency visits/walks are also available as I know how tough it can be when those last minute changes come up. Pet sitting in your home is preferred. I've found that this keeps your pup(s) more comfortable and less stressed during your time away. Each situation is different, and I'm open to chat through different options.

About: I have experience walking, playing and taking care of our 15 year old black lab Jake! He sadly passed away. He lived a long happy life! I'm very active and have lots of energy! My kids do as well! We love animals! We will treat your pet/s as part of our family! Treats will be provided and clean drinking water! Your pets will be given plenty of attention in my care. I enjoy long walks so you can be assured your dog/puppy will get plenty of exercise! I'm willing to help potty train if training mats/pads are provided! Look forward to hearing from you! 😊 I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm not currently available for boarding or doggy day care😢 Just walks, visits, and home stays! ☺️ I can easily crate your pet/s if you prefer, just need you to provide the crate or gates. Medication can be administered at request of client and I also don't mind potty training as long as mats/training pads are provided🙂
