“If you're looking for the ultimate dog boarding experience, look no further than Jeffery! I can't express how relieved I was to find him when I faced an unexpected family emergency and needed a dog sitter for my beloved Coco. My initial hesitation about leaving my child with a stranger melted away the moment Jeffery responded to my request. From our first interaction, it was clear that Jeffery is not just a dog sitter; he’s a true dog whisperer! He took the time to explain his approach, making sure I felt comfortable with every detail of his care routine. His understanding of canine body language is impressive, and it gave me peace of mind knowing that Coco would be in good hands. One of the standout features of Jeffery's dog boarding service is the sheer amount of toys and stimulation he provides. Coco was surrounded by a variety of engaging activities that kept him mentally and physically active. Whether it was playing fetch, exploring new toys, or making new furry friends, she was constantly entertained! Throughout her stay, Jeffery kept the lines of communication open, sending me regular updates, photos, and videos of Coco having a blast! It was heartwarming to see her so happy and engaged. His dedication to ensuring that every dog feels at home shines through in everything he does. If you're considering dog boarding or daycare, I HIGHLY recommend booking Jeffery. Your pup will not only be well cared for but will also have an adventure filled with fun and stimulation! I can’t thank Jeffery enough for his exceptional service, and I’ll definitely be returning whenever I need a dog sitter. Your dog will love it, just like Coco did! 🐾❤️”


“Copper came home tired, all wet ?, and happy. The videos of him playing in the pool with his new friends were evidence of the fun and safe environment Amy provides. Thank you for giving us an outlet for Copper and all his puppy energy!”


“Always fantastic, my dog is a nervous little man but seems so comfortable with Melissa and her family that I know when he's with her I don't have to worry at all. Melissa's care is such a relief”


“Dianna was amazing at communicating and share photos of my pup while at her place. Their home is perfect for dogs to run around at while your busy hiking or visiting the area.”


“My dog came home happy and exhausted from a long day of playing! Dixie sent me a couple of updates throughout the day and I had no worries at all. Dixie was also very flexible with my crazy work schedule, and at the end of the long day she didn't want my dog to leave because they had such a good time. 10/10 and would definitely use again.”


“Samantha is wonderful. Booking was done last-minute, on a holiday, no less. Samantha was kind, responsible, on-time, and would have sent intormation about my dog every 20 minutes if I wanted it. Highly recommend.”


“Couldn't ask for better care for our new puppy dog! He got to play with another big dog for some socialization. She was on time with great communication. We met at a store for the exchanges and near my work.”


“This was my first time booking and it couldn’t have been better. Kerrie was super patient and helpful as I navigated through everything, answering every question promptly. She was extremely accommodating as we pushed back our arrival time since we didn’t get into town until after midnight while also allowing us to do a later pickup so we could see everything we wanted to see. She was also kind in sending us a picture of our dog during the day. Kerrie, Thank you so much!”


About: I run Compton Canine Care (check us out on facebook!) and have had experience with different size/age/breed of dogs for the last 15 years as my family absolutely loves animals. Family and friends have had me come over and petsit for them for the last 10 years and I love doing it 😁 I used to work for a pet resort, where I received training in dog body language and group play as well as proper cleaning for dogs. I spend my days playing with lodging and daycare dogs and occasionally walking dogs in town! During the school semester I take classes at RIT for computer science - my fiancé Robbie helps as well! My regulars love him and so do the dogs! 🐕 I mainly do daycare on the weekend during school semesters but take lodging dogs year round! However you’d like me to handle at home visits- you got it! I can let them out, walk them, play with them, feed them. They’ll get to stretch their legs while you’re at work or on vacation!

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a little kid! I’ve watched family members pets throughout the years growing up. I will treat your dog as my own. I work my daily schedule Around my client ( your fur baby’s ) needs for the day! I also do overnight boarding in my home. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for your fur babies to run! I also have two friendly fur babies of my own!

“Ashley was amazing with my yorkie!! She was very good at handling her high energy, and gave me lots of updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend her ! Thanks so much Ashley!”


“Sara is amazing. She created the most wonderful holiday for my darling Jesse. Sara also has other animals which were wonderful and had welcomed Jesse with a playful heart.❤️ I can’t put into words how special of a caretaker she is😁”


“Great help to me, and King slept very well last night! I think he had a lot of fun!”


“Julia and her family took excellent care of Cal and were such nice people to meet. I will definitely contact Julia if Cal is in need of day care or a sitter in Rochester”


About: I have taken care of and had pets ever since I was a child. I currently watch my sisters Labrador and my nieces puppy as needed. I have watched them over night or up to a week at a time. I am currently not working so I am available anytime I would be needed. I would look forward to caring for your pet as I would my own. I will care for your pet per your instructions. I have a nice sized backyard. I currently have no pet of my own. My backyard is not fenced so I will never let your dog outside unattended or unleashed. I live alone and I do not work. I can schedule my day around your pet. Your pet is my first priority when I am watching them. I do not have a fence but I have a large yard and an open field right behind that I can walk your dog. I arrange my home to your pets needs whatever they may be.

“We feel so fortunate to have found Courtney to take care of our two mini-dachshunds. They are prone to anxiety but Courtney handled them beautifully during both a meet&greet and day care session. She sent pictures and videos and we picked up happy little pups! We definitely hope to arrange more time with Courtney!”


“Sara set our minds at ease with her obvious compassion for our pet. The photos and video she sent us convinced us that Coco had found his new "Favorite Place". Thank you Sara, we look forward to seeing you again soon!”



About: Welcome! I'm Samantha and we are an animal loving household. We have dogs who love new playmates, so if your dog is friendly, send your puppy to play with us. I work from home in a low stress, flexible position, so we go on daily walks and are always out for an adventure! We are subscribed to the Bark Park and go there often! We have a huge house in a pet friendly neighborhood. The neighbors know and love my pups, as we are very active and spend as much time outside as possible!

About: My husband Douglas was the Kennel Manager & Behavioral Director of an animal rescue for several years while I served as the Adoption Coordinator. We worked with all ages, sizes, breeds, medical needs, and temperaments where Douglas went on to attend school to become a professional dog trainer. We began our own business after purchasing 5 acres and having a space in our home dedicated specifically to boarding pups! They’re not in a kennel, they’re in the home with us all the time. Your dog will be treated like our own. We’ve established long term relationships with several families and we send daily photos, videos, updates to you while you’re away ♡ Additional training services are available as requested. Free of cost pickup & drop off within 30miles of our location, bathing and grooming provided for free if your stay is longer than 3-days! We both work fully from home! I’m a licensed mental health therapist that sees clients virtually in my home office, and Douglas is home all day everyday with our personal pets and boarding families. Our home is situated on 5 acres, surrounded by dense trees and away from any busy streets. We have a 100ft trolley lead to ensure pups are safe while giving them the freedom to run around!! We have 2 dogs and 1 cat of our own that love playing with others and are very well mannered and trained. Zion is a 1yo Belgian Malinois and Jade is a 4yo Shepherd & Lab mix, and Jinx is a 4yo black bombay cat who is dog friendly. Our home is our pet’s home, meaning they are welcome to cuddle on the couches or bed with us all!

Our pets absolutely adore her and you can tell that she gives them extra love and attention just by seeing how happy they are when she walks in. Ana has been a loyal, communicative, trustworthy, and organized pet sitter and dog walker every time we have hired her. It can be hard finding someone to care for our pets, but we truly lucked out with Ana. She’s incredibly kind and a great resource whenever we need a little help with our pets. I’d recommend her to anyone!”
