Dog Sitting Penfield

About: Hello all! My name is Emily. I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. When I was 9 years old we got our family dog (a Havanese) and 6 years ago I adopted my soul dog petunia rose (pitbull). I sadly lost petunia in July to cancer and helped her daily for the last 6 months. I miss being around a smiley, happy, energetic dog but also found peace In helping animals who need a little more care and kindness. If you are looking for a walker, a sitter for the day, someone to administer meds, or just sit with and give some love while you’re at work, I'm your girl. I know how protective of my soul dog I was and I understand that trust is needed when going into someone’s home and watching their baby. I can assure you that I am a trust worthy, respectful and loving person who will treat your animal as if it were my own. I can’t wait to see all the fluffy babies I get to meet! I currently work full time Monday through Friday. Tuesday and Thursdays I work from Buffalo and Monday, Wednesday, Friday I work from home. I would be available MWF after 4pm and T/TH after 630. I’m free all day on Saturdays and Sundays! I make sure to ask questions and follow directions that are left by the owner carefully. I only go into rooms I am allowed and only touch items that are a part of caring for your animal. Your home is your home and I am only there to do a job of watching after your child! I will only feed your dog what I am told to, and respect all boundaries.

About: I rescued and cared for my Boxer for 7 years. During my time with him I gained puppy training experience, as well as continued training him through life. I love going on dog walks and spending time with them! I have house sat/dog sat for 3 years in the past, and looking into helping you with dog walks or drop ins to spend time with your pups and or cats!!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life especially bigger dogs like German shepherds. But I recently got a black lab golden mix and would love to bring him over for a puppy play date:) I’m currently working full time but I can make a visit either before or after I get out to play with your pets and make sure they get the care they need! It would definitely brighten up my day as well before going in and give me something to look forward to after:) I have a friendly golden lab mix to help keep your fur babies company if you would like. He loves to play and is such a sweetheart

About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I love to take my dog on walks at the beach and play in the yard with him. I am attentive to any reactions they might have to their surroundings as well. I’ve been looking for a job during the week days and I figured why not try this out to maybe help some families live their life if they’re on vacation or super busy. I have a friendly dog who will keep any pets company. I have a big yard with sun or shade if any dogs love to be outside. I also have crates if dogs need to be crated during the night or day.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs! Very much a huge animal lover, and I’m the type of person to wave to any dog/cat I see on my walks around the city. I’ve always considered my pets to be part of the family. I’ve dog sat for many family members and family friends, and I approach it with a great deal of love and respect. Back in 2023 I had to put my best friend German Shepard down, and I haven’t found it in me to get a new companion yet. I’d love to give your dog/cat some love and attention! So I work 8:30-5 every day, but I am available to walk/check in/feed your pets anytime before or after work. I’m very flexible and am willing to do what I need to do to make sure your pets are taken care of. Although I’m unable to keep an animal at my apartment in Rochester, I have a lot of experience in walking dogs, taking care of all animals, and I’m very good at following instructions and taking care of your pets the way you want.

“Grace is absolutely wonderful. This is the first time I've ever used Rover and Grace was the best person I could have found. I have senior pets and getting several updates a day seeing that they are happy and soooooooo well taken care of means that I was able to be relaxed while out of town. As long as she is willing I will hire Grace anytime I need someone to watch my pets. She is so sweet and did a great job..even my anti social cat loved her (more than he loves me, which was hurtful and I will be having a conversation with him lol) Thank you, thank you THANK YOU Grace for being the best sitter anyone could ask for!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced dog lover with a special place in my heart for rescue dogs and high energy pups. As the owner of a high energy rescue myself, I understand firsthand the patience, structure, and attention these dogs need to truly thrive. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or reinforcing good habits, I’m committed to helping dogs burn off energy in a healthy, positive way. For energetic dogs, I make sure they get the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need because a tired dog is a happy dog! Safety is always my top priority.

I’m happy to tailor each walk to your dog’s personality, energy level, and specific needs, whether that means a brisk adventure or a slower, confidence building stroll. I’d love to meet your pup and help make their day a little brighter! As someone who works in education, I have a lot of availability over the summer as well as school break! I am available on weekends as well!! I can be flexible and fit to your dog’s schedule! Details are my specialty! I make sure to follow each dog’s specified routine and care needs!

“Skylar lets my dog out at lunchtime 3 days a week and he enjoys her visits. She was helpful when a bandage came off a minor injury that my dog had. Overall she has been reliable and responsive.”

Cara K.

“Katelyn was very generous and helpful! She asked all the questions and was prepared. Our pets ended up enjoying her presence as they warmed up to her. I definitely would recommend her coming back to care for our pets if she is still around! Even through our long week away, and the weather wasn’t entirely the best, Katelyn ensure that she came and took care of our pets. And was super kind enough to clear our pathways entry to our home. I can never be grateful than that.”

About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!

About: Hey there – my name is Brittany, and I've taken care of animals my whole life. I am an experienced sitter, new to rover though, who you can trust to take amazing care of your pup or cat. I take any and all opportunities to snuggle and go on fun adventures. I have a mini golden doodle who I love and adore so I understand how important your fur baby is! I have open availability! I can do same day and last minute needs for your fur baby. I believe that life happens and people have needs for their animals. No one wants to leave them home alone for an extended period of time. That’s where I come in! I will follow whatever rules and guidelines you have. I might spoil them with cuddles and playtime though! I love all animals and will take lots of walks with your dog.

About: My husband Jonathan and I have grown up raising and taking care of dogs. Until we are ready to get our own dog again we would love to host your dog in our home! We and our children will make sure your dog feels like a part of the family during their stay. Between walks, playtime, belly rubs and everything else in-between, you can be sure your dog is well cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your dog will get lots of love and attention throughout the day, especially from my kids. Our schedule is great if your dog is used to being home around people and being a part of a daily routine. Your dog will be able to go out as much as they want throughout the day and get a walk or two for exercise and sniffs. I do require a meet and greet before your first booking in order to ensure your dog's stay will be a good fit for everyone. I have a fully fenced backyard with adequate grass space for potty breaks and playing fetch. Inside we have hardwood and tile floor, and I only allow the dogs on the first floor of my home (although we do spend the great majority of our time on this floor). We do ask that your dog be okay with being left downstairs for short periods of time; I wouldn't want your dog to be anxious and then scratching or jumping on the door to the upstairs. We also do not allow dogs on our furniture so please consider if your dog will be able to understand staying off the couch. When we are out of the house we can accommodate them on the first floor of our home and make sure their favorite bed or crate is set up for them.

About: Your fur babies safety and happiness are my top priority! Whether your dog prefers a brisk, high energy workout or a gentle, sniffing focused stroll, I tailor every walk to their specific routine and energy level. You can expect real time photo updates if requested On a weekly basis, I maintain a carefully managed calendar that balances core, recurring client walks with flexible windows for short notice needs or weekend check ins, guaranteeing reliable and stress free care for pet parents. I provide attentive, high quality care centered on the safety, happiness, and well being of every animal. I excel at creating a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure and comfortable. My approach combines reliable routine management such as precise feeding schedules and structured exercise with the love and individual attention each pet deserves. I am highly observant, quick to recognize shifts in animal body language or health, and dedicated to open, real time communication with pet owners to ensure complete peace of mind.

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.

“Michelle proved to be very reliable with her assignment of waking our dog Ramen during our absence from home. She is a great communicator. Certainly will use her again.”

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!
