“Emma was great to communicate with, always quick to respond and sent me updates on how my dog was doing with pictures ☺️ My dog has a lot of energy but I was comfortable with the fenced in yard and knew he was getting attention. I would definitely use Emma again.”



“This is our second time using Jamie & Brian, and yet again, they were awesome!! They love on the pups they keep as if they were their own! Plus, I always get updates on how my Stella is doing & pics/videos of her playing, sleeping, going for walks, or just chilling on the couch! Couldn’t ask for better care!! And my dog loves the company of the other dogs as well! Thanks again guys!! 🥰🐾”


“I have a very high energy, 120 lb German Shepherd, and I worry about boarding him because of his initial impression. I cannot say enough good things about Jess & Christopher. They set up a meet and greet so we were able to meet them, and their dog, before his stay. They were flexible with drop off and pick up times, excellent communication through his stay, gave him medication as requested, and did everything possible to make it a great experience overall. I’m getting ready to book Coopers will definitely be staying with them again, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter!”


“Jessie took great care of my senior beagle. We had a meet and greet beforehand and his two dogs accepted my old guy just fine. He sent me pics and updates everyday and even kept my dog an extra night because I was delayed getting back. I would highly recommend Jessie. He is kind and really cares a lot about animals. I won’t hesitate to use him again if the need arises.,”


“Cate was such an attentive, doting host for our Buddy. Truly the best in the 3 years that I have been using DogVacay/Rover! She was very responsive from the beginning and flexible to arrange a meet and greet. Buddy and my family immediately had a positive impression of Cate, her family, and her nice home with spacious yard for dogs to play. Everyday, Cate would send me sweet messages and upwards of 6-8 pictures of how much fun he was having there. Buddy was so happy playing with her boys and taking long walks along the canal. Every new picture update put a big smile on my face to see that he was in such good hands. Cate makes an effort to give 1:1 attention to any dog she watches over, so she was thoughtful to ask if Buddy minded that his last day may overlap with another dog's first day. Luckily for us, our dog loves company so his stay became a fun-filled play date under her watchful eye. I appreciate that someone in her family was at home with him at all times. Buddy ended up bonding with her so well that he would follow her to the bathroom and wait at the door while she showered. Hilarious! Overall, Cate set a high standard for dog sitters because of she treated my dog as if he were part of her family and kept me updated several times a day. I wouldn't go to anyone else in the Rochester area.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs both large and small, young and old, for as long as I can remember! I got my first dog when I was 3 years old, and have had a dog by my side ever since! I have dog sat for friends and family members with dogs of all different breeds, backgrounds and ages. My first job as a teenager was at a local dog kennel & vet office where I learned a lot about helping a dog feel safe and comfortable while away from home! We have a dog (35lb 2 y/o golden doodle) who absolutely loves making new friends, and a cat who keeps to herself but gets along well with other animals when she does come out to play. My husband works from home and my work schedule is flexible meaning the pets are not frequently home alone. I have a very flexible work schedule paired with my husband working from home most days of the week to prevent extended time home alone for any pets. We have a dog who loves to make new friends and a cat who is comfortable around dogs but tends to keep to herself. We have a large yard and go outside with the dogs (on leash) to ensure they stay safely in the yard at all times.

“I know i can only give 5 but I'd give Daniel 100 stars if I could. He was amazing to work with and leave my dog with. He helped me out of a last minute jam and was attentive to my needs.
