3 Pups Max • WFH • Fenced Yard

Hi there! I’m Gigi, I work from home full-time and only take a few dogs at a time, so every pup gets lots of attention in a comfortable, home environment🤍 We carry our own private pet care insurance (not just Rover’s standard protection). We also keep a consistent routine so everything feels easy for the dogs. I help dogs get comfortable using our dog door so they can go in and out freely and keep their usual routine. I’ve worked with puppies as well and can help reinforce things like potty training, crate time, and settling into a new environment. We keep things relaxed and typically have up to 3 dogs at a time, so every dog has space to feel comfortable. We do a quick meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Our setup works best for small to medium dogs. We have a fully fenced yard with a custom-built dog door, plus added safety features like anti-dig guards and front porch fencing for extra peace of mind. We also have cameras covering the backyard and main dog areas so we can keep a close eye on everyone. Inside, things are clean, cozy, and dog-safe, with floors and common areas kept clear so dogs don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. There’s also a fully enclosed indoor play area if separation is ever needed. My husband Nate and I care for the dogs together. I work from home full-time, and Nate works at a local school and gets home early, so someone is usually home with the dogs :) ⸻ 🐾 Your pup will enjoy: – Small group – 24/7 dog door access to fenced backyard (fresh water always available) – Clean, dog-safe spaces (no kitchen access) – Separated during feeding to avoid conflicts – Daily walks or runs in a quiet neighborhood – Photo/video updates – Plenty of playtime and supervision (Healthy snacks like yogurt, berries, or pumpkin if you’re okay with it 😊) ⸻ We’re located right off the highway—Rochester’s last exit before Buffalo/Canada, only about 10 minutes from ROC Airport. I’m always quick to respond, and can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We do ask for booking at least a week in advance so we can schedule a quick meet & greet 🤍

Gigi has been a great hist for Mochi. He comes back home very happy. Communication is always great with several photos and videos and Gigi and Nate are always very nice and courteous

Gigi and Nate took great care of our two dogs. They sent photos and updates everyday. Their house is set up great and they are very caring people.

Gigi was amazing! She took such great care of my dog, and I could tell he was really happy staying with her. She is incredibly kind and attentive, and I really appreciated how thoughtful she was throughout the stay. She even cooked fresh food for the dogs, which was such a nice touch. Her two dogs are also super friendly, and they all got along really well — my dog had a great time playing with them. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

I think Carson enjoyed his day with Gigi and her dogs; so much so that he came home stiff and sore. But happy!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes outdoor time, play, and plenty of downtime to relax. For dogs who enjoy it, we may include light walks or activity, but we keep the overall routine calm and balanced. The rest of the day is a mix of play, lounging, and time in the yard. I’m home throughout the day, so dogs get regular potty breaks, consistent attention, and a steady routine to help them settle in comfortably.

Please let me know anything important about your dog ahead of time, including any special needs, dietary restrictions or allergies, and how they are around people and other dogs. I also like to have your vet’s contact information on hand, just in case. For the safety of all dogs, I’m unable to accept dogs showing signs of contagious illness (such as coughing, sneezing, or eye/nasal discharge). If any symptoms develop during their stay, I’ll reach out right away—additional care may be needed, and in some cases extra charges may apply, or I may ask that arrangements are made for pickup or veterinary care.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
