Can’t say enough about how wonderful Elizabeth was. Not only is she very experienced with dogs, but her personality is so warm and kind. She helped us out for our wedding weekend by watching our 3 dogs. We had the dogs in our wedding ceremony, so Elizabeth picked them up from the venue (her vehicle was even equipped with fans and a comfortable back seat for them), brought them back to our Airbnb and stayed over night with them! She made sure they were walked, fed, and snuggled and gave us the greatest peace of mind while we celebrated our wedding. If you want a dog sitter that will go above and beyond, book Elizabeth!!! Thank you again Elizabeth!!!

Mackenzie is an intelligent and compassionate young lady. Very easy to talk with and one who understands the task at hand. We had a death in the family and an immediate need for help with our pets. She went above and beyond sending us pictures of our pets and little notes while we were away putting us at ease. We will gladly hire her in the future.

About: I have owned Dogs all my life. I believe that immediate recall is the most important tool for all Dog owners. I also believe in challenging Dogs brains with games like find it hide and seek. A tired Dog at the end of each day is a happy Dog. I exercise my Dog every day. I have a Doberman she is the start and end to my Day. With high energy Dogs they need lots of body and mind stimulation to maintain a healthy Dog . I treat each Dog as if they were my own. Well trained well exercised and most importantly immediate recall. If your Dog doesn’t have immediate recall when I meet them. They will the first time I watch them. To me that is the most significant training tool for every Dog owners including myself.

About: I have a German Shepherd and walk him every night around Canandaigua. He loves adventures and it is quite clear that dogs love to travel. I love to make sure they are having fun and are being stimulated. Dogs are so smart. It is fun to interact and treat them like friends. I am available all the time and have experience taking my neighbor's dogs out once a day as she was away at work. This was a truly fun experience and has compelled me to seek out more opportunities like that. I wish to meet more dogs and like-minded people who appreciate how dogs provide unconditional love whether you are having a good day or a bad one. Endlessly, they love. It is beautiful.

Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!

Alicia is the first cat sitter I’ve truly felt comfortable with in the Rochester area. From our first meeting, it was clear she genuinely loves animals and understands the needs of both pets/owners when on vacation. She took time to learn our cat’s routine and personality, which gave us instant peace of mind. While we were away, she sent daily updates with photos, showing our usually shy cat relaxed and happy. Our home was also left spotless, and our cat was calm when we returned. She’s incredibly reliable and communicative which has been an issue with other sitters in the area. We’ll absolutely book her again and highly recommend her.

Luis took great care of my dogs. Kodak is on a strict crate rest and meds. Luis was able to administer his meds and ensure he was ok. Jacky is my hype dog and he loved Luis. He sent pictures and updates through the stay. I had no worries:). If you’re looking for a sitter, Luis is your guy! I will definitely booked him for future needs.
