“It was really nice to enjoy our vacation knowing David was super reliable and our dogs would get their walks everyday - lessened the guilt of leaving them almost completely! Thank you!”

April C.

“I highly recommend Nicole. She is very good at communicating and promptly responds whenever needed. Her reporting reflects instructions were followed and I appreciate the pictures. I feel confident that my cat is well taken care of!”

Holly S.

“Jess was wonderful with our cat. She made sure our girl had enough food and fresh water, cleaned the litter box, and made sure she was ok (even though our cat is skittish and hid). She was super nice and kept us updated via text. We will definitely hire her again when we go out of town.”

Kristin D.

“Alexandra is awesome and deserves the abundance of 5 star reviews she already has! I NEVER feel comfortable letting anyone walk my reactive dogs but I knew within a couple minutes of meeting her that I could trust her to keep my babies safe on a walk even with other dogs around. She also takes fantastic pictures and I loved getting to see my happy dogs on walks with her.”

Danielle P.

“HUGE thank you to MacKenzie for doing this one-off semi last-minute visit with my pups and her continued patience with my one dog who is a little more nervous and difficult. She is a blessing and I will always be grateful for her love and care she gives my pups while I am away.”

About: I have had dogs in my life since I was born really my father always and still has 2 dogs which I help with as well still, I have dog sat numerous times two Boston terriers and two cats for a lovely family I currently have complete open availability that includes weekends as well. Taking some time off from work and sitting home doing gets boring really quick and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time then to hangout with some animals 🤗 My house wouldn’t be suitable for housing pets due to having my own and it’s a shared house with my sister and her children as well

“Jenine did a great job checking in on my cat. She kept me updated with pictures after every visit and gave my cat the love and attention she needed. I felt at ease knowing she was caring for my girl while I was away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”

Niharah S.

“This was our first time having Rico come by for a drop in visit for our fur babies Bella and Mya, we received lots of pictures and an update. We will definitely book with Rico again in the future!”

About: Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! 😊 A little bit about me and why I might be a good fit for your family: I’m Pet CPR & First Aid certified, which means any pet’s well-being is always my top priority and you can feel confident they’re in capable hands. I also have experience administering oral medications as well! I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you are away. Whether that means high-energy playtime, long walks, medication schedules, or quiet cuddle time, I adapt to what makes pets happiest. Thank you for trusting me with your fur babies!☺️🐶🐱 Pet care fits well into my routine alongside my career as an elementary school teacher. I work Monday–Friday from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which means I’m available for morning check-ins, afternoon/evening care, overnight stays, and weekend bookings. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. I know pets are most comfortable in familiar environments, so I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m respectful, clean, and dependable in every home I visit, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is always to make your pets feel cared for, happy, and at home.

“Charlene and Jeremy were so great with my silly, energetic, 95 lb dog and my cat! My dog can be a little tough to handle given his size and energy but they did such a good job and it was really nice to receive so many pictures and updates of what they did while here.”

Morgan E.

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 its needs are met.

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 also am more than capable of handling the "gentle giants" and strong pullers with confidence and care. I'm well-versed in using various walking gear, from standard leashes to front-clip harness, ensuring every dog stays safe and controlled regardless of their size. Whether its'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. I pride myself on being punctual and highly communicative. You can expect plenty of updates and photos of our adventures. I treat every dog with the same care and attention I give my own, prioritizing their safety above all else. I am comfortable administering first aid or any medications if ever needed. 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...

“Great sitter. Super friendly for a last minute call and kept me well informed about my girl.”
