“I asked Sophie to help me out in a very last minute pinch on a holiday weekend and she DELIVERED! She was so communicative and put in the overtime to help my shy guy warm up to her. She went above and beyond for both of us and I couldn’t be more grateful!”
“We could not be happier with Jen's care of our grand kitty, Lola, for two weeks while we were away. Lola is a shy cat but Jen really engaged with her every day. She sent reports and photos which were enjoyed while we were away. If you need a petsitter, Jen is an excellent choice.”
“Natha and I had great communication leading up to my trip and while she was dropping in. Though she only got to see one of the cats she still gave me info on what she did for the other two. I’ve already made a booking request for my next trip”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are happy with our experience with Shaunna! Definitely going to rebook her the next time we need a dog sitter! She was so kind when we met her in person, my dog and my little daughters liked her. Shaunna was communicative throughout the whole week we were gone, she took pictures and went above and beyond. She brought Estee out to use the restroom, went on walks, gave medication, refilled her water bowl, and gave her lots of cuddles. We are very thankful for her taking care of our sheltie Estee!”
“Carla did an amazing job for us and for our Little Man! He doesnt eat well when we're not there and felt comfortable enough around her to eat well! We missed him so much while we were gone and she sent lots of pictures of him! I would recommend her to anyone and rebook her for our next trip!”
About: Ever since I was a child, I have always been surrounded by animals! My family has always had dogs and birds in the house. I have learned how to care for elderly dogs in struggling health conditions. My sister also has a beagle with separation anxiety that I frequently watch and walk for her! I currently have a young kitty, Stewart, who has made me appreciate the beauty of owning both dogs and cats! I’m currently working part-time and am attending college in the Rochester area. Depending on what your animal needs, I am very flexible and will do whatever I can to make life as an owner easier! Unfortunately I am currently not offering boarding and house sitting services. However, I will always make sure that the safety of your animal is my top priority when they are in my care!
About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. As a stay at home mom, I have lots of time and love to give to your dog. We love going to the park for long walks along with getting outside to play. Whether your dog likes to play outside or stay indoors curled up on the couch, my home provides the perfect environment for your pet. I have a fenced yard for running and playing and a number of dog beds for lounging. Senior pets also have the ability to go in and out from the yard without needing to use any stairs. I prefer to care for one dog at a time, to ensure excellent care and a comfortable environment; I will accommodate more than one pup at a time if they are from the same family. When you decide to trust me with your loved one you will know without a doubt that they will be well cared for! When discussing your dogs stay please let me know as much about your dog as possible; including breed and age, tempermant, activity level, if your dog is housebroken and if your dog requires any medication during his or her stay. As a thank you for choosing us to care for your loved one, each guest will receive a homemade sweet treat 😊 As a stay at home mom, I am able to devote all of my attention to the needs of my clients. I am able to provide your loved one with time. My yard is fully fenced with secured gates so that you can rest easy knowing that your loved one is completely safe while under our care.
About: I have 4 years of veterinary care experience along with 2 years of pet boarding experience. I own and care for several of my own animals as well! I am currently available for afternoon visits and care on week days. I have full availability on the weekends for any needs! I can also do midday pop in’s depending on location! I have 1 very friendly dog who does amazing with other animals but if your pet isn’t a fan I always have another safe space for them. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard therefore your pet will always be leashed for their safety. I will ensure we do lots of walks and playing to get their exercise!
About: I think dogs are always trying to tell us something; we just have to be aware and quiet enough to listen. I grew up around dogs (big dogs, mostly) and currently have a 3-year old mutt of my own. She was my first dog I had as an adult, and I learned a LOT about dog training & behavior with her. She was a wild one who has been tamed, mostly due to age, but I'd like to think I've done a good job raising her. ;-) I will treat your dog with respect and dignity while keeping them safe. Keeping them safe is my #1 priority! I work for myself so my schedule is fairly flexible. I'm happy to help out during the week to walk your dog while you work those long hours at your shift or in the office. I don't let dogs play with other dogs while on walks due to safety. I'm never on my phone while walking dogs. There are too many variables that can happen! I'm familiar with the various types of collars, walking harnesses, etc. (I tried them all with my pup!) I keep the dogs moving on our walk, although depending on client requests, I will give dogs adequate time to sniff. (Sniffing is a form of canine enrichment, after all!)
“Kat is an excellent dog sitter. My dogs were comfortable from the moment she walked in the door. She takes great photos, is very communicative, all while being incredibly friendly and professional. I highly recommend!”

If your dog is friendly and good with other dogs and you would like a puppy play date I can bring over my baby S’mores!
About: I have been around animals my entire life, both professionally and personally. I have experience working with domestic and exotic animals, from basic needs to administering injections.

Mallory P.
“Mallory has a love for animals that is above anything I have ever seen. It doesn’t matter if they’re big or small, or wild or a pet, she would care for them like her own children. Although she loves all animals, I think I can say with pure conviction that dogs are her favorite. She thinks about every little thing when it comes to dogs. Their food and water, their comfort, if they are anxious she won’t stop until she figures out the reason. I have left my own dog, Yoshi, in the hands of Mallory many times and she has always gone above and beyond what I ask of her. Not for me, but for him. She’s responsible, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly, she cares deeply and it shows through her work. I couldn’t think of a person I would trust more with my own dog than Mallory and I’m sure all of you will feel the same way.”

Whether managing daily routines, administering medications, or just spending time with the animals, Sara brings a deep sense of responsibility and heart to her work. She also delivers exceptional customer service, keeping us informed, reassured, and confident that our animals are in great hands. If you’re looking for someone who blends expert care with genuine love for animals and excellent communication, Sara H is someone you can trust without hesitation.”
