“Joseph was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of my cats and was super accommodating to their needs (one is really shy and he made sure to lay eyes on her and know she was okay, even if she didn't come out.) Super highly recommend!!”
About: I’m a responsible and attentive pet sitter who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry little buddies. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to medium-sized dogs and large dogs, so I’m comfortable adjusting to different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. My friends joke that I’m a “dog magnet” because dogs tend to warm up to me very quickly. One of my favorite parts of being around dogs is the energy exchange that happens through play and companionship. I really enjoy building that connection and making them feel comfortable and cared for. I will follow your care instructions closely and do my best to keep your pet’s routine consistent while you’re away. And I’m happy to send regular updates and photos at whatever frequency works best for you. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can usually accommodate both weekday and weekend visits. I know pets do best with consistency, so I make an effort to keep walks, meals, potty breaks, and check-ins as close to their usual routine as possible. I’m happy to discuss timing in advance so we can find what works best for your pet. I know how much trust it takes to have someone care for your pet and enter your home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding routines, walking preferences, medications, crate or door routines, and any special precautions you’d like me to take. I will always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and settled before I leave.
“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.”

I have experience taking care of 6-8 puppies at the same time; walking dogs as small as Pomeranians and as big as huskies and golden retrievers I currently work remotely and my schedule is flexible. i have plenty of time to schedule pet sitting, pet walking and more. I’m available for same day calls I am flexible and can adapt to any type of pet care is necessary.

About: I grew up with a great dane, and then my family adopted 3 dogs of different sizes after that. I’ve been surrounded by, and taken care of dogs my entire life growing up in Rochester. I have worked for local dog daycare and boarding facilities as well. My location provides a good place to socialize with other dogs as well if needed, just minutes from several parks and open land. A fIexible schedule allows me to work with people to meet their specific needs, and take the necessary time to be thorough. I enjoy the process of working with dogs and understanding their personality. I use positive reinforcement techniques to reward behavior and maximize dog comfort. I currently work afternoons, and am a night owl. I spend my mornings drinking coffee or walking dogs, and evenings helping friends with pet care who work late nights in health care, law enforcement, etc. While I cannot board dogs overnight in my apartment building, I have experience boarding within owners homes. I know the stress of finding a private care provider, and offer meet and greet beforehand to make sure pet parents feel at ease. I also provide normal drop in walking/care while owner is away.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs/numerous other pets my entire life and I couldn’t imagine a home without them. As an adult, I’ve even raised a puppy, which gave me firsthand experience with training, patience, and consistency. Along with dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for multiple other pets over the years, so I understand that every animal has their own unique personality and needs. I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for family, friends, and neighbors, etc. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent while you’re away, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and happy. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so communication and reliability are always my top priorities. I’d love the chance to give your pet the same love and attention I give my own. 🐶 Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my day to day. Having a flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my work around your pet’s needs, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, giving extra exercise, or simply being present so they’re never lonely. Caring for pets isn’t just something I “fit in”—it’s a part of my everyday life and something I truly enjoy. Whether in your home or mine, I stick to your pet’s routine and give them lots of love, care, and attention. Your pet will always be treated like family!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Penfield
This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little hesitant about leaving our animal house in someone else’s hands. But after meeting her, I immediately felt much more at ease. She took such great care of our dogs and cats (and fish!), checked in consistently, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She is so sweet, and we would absolutely have her back again!
Emily is a top notch dogsitter! My little Maltese means the world to me and I am always 100% confident that she will be well cared for by Emily. Emily is responsible, always on time, follows instructions to the letter and sends me the best pictures and notes. I cannot recommend her more highly!
