“Emily is EXCELLENT! I can’t say enough about how great she is. She loves my dog like he’s her own and it shows. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their pet. She brings her own water and a bowl and makes sure he gets water breaks on his walk especially in the heat. Not to mention she takes the best pics!!!”
“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”
About: New to Rover! I have 20+ years, like most of you, taking care of dogs (all ages & size) walking, training & loving. Raised in Rochester & know all the best parks & trails. I have an SUV and don’t mind taking the dogs places if requested. Night shift worker during the week, I make lots of time for my puppy at home and would love to make time for your dog during the day. I’m available all days of the week, unfortunately that doesn’t mean I’m available all the time but can make time each day of the week if necessary. Just reach out, your odds are high that I can help I know how important pets are to everyone’s family and will treat yours like you do at home, or better :) Learning your dogs behavior is a key to success, the more information the better (behavior around dogs, people, children, chewing, barking) to know if they are acting different in any way. I get excited each time I meet new parents of dogs, i wouldn’t trust some nobody with my dog unless I got to know them first, I am in my mid twenties and have lived in pittsford/penfield for most of life, I do not drink if that matters to you, I’d say based off appearance I look pretty clean unless it’s cold out then you may only be seeing what’s visible under my hood or hat. I’m well educated in the do’s and don’ts on what is safe and unsafe for dogs and puppies to accidentally eat. Coming from a family that has dealt with Lyme Disease I take precaution in where my dogs are roaming, and always checking my puppy and past dogs constantly for ticks
“Things are working out great with Stephan. Minka seems to be at ease with him and that makes me very happy. Stephan has what it takes to give Minka what she needs and I couldn’t ask for more.”
“Pearl absolutely loves walks with Alina! She’s patient and kind, and makes sure to keep Pearl moving, while working on her leash manners. I’ve never seen her so excited to see a Dogwalker!”
About: Hi, I am a volunteer EMT and have a life long passion for dogs and all animals. On my spare time, my wife (Melinda) and I enjoy various aspects of the outdoors, no matter the season. We frequently pet sit for my brother-in law's German Shepard, who is full of energy, of which I have learned all the commands and public interaction techniques. This has been ongoing for approximately the past 4 years. * Melinda and I extensively clean and disinfect our house not only before and after each dog but also on a regular basis as well. We are excited to be part of your dog care needs and you can be sure your pets will be well taken care of with us as a smooth transition. Whether it is walking, playing, or pet sitting, we are here to help! Please message us as you know your plans. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you! Conveniently I work very close to home and can come home to check on the puppy on my lunch break though that time varies from day to day. We have a long lead in our backyard that we can adjust accordingly and we are always outside with your fur-baby. We also have friendly neighbors and multiple eyes checking in periodically. My wife and I have a fleece-lined jacket 4 any puppy to help combat the weather. Additionally we have couch protectors, Memory Foam bed, a basket of toys, and food and water dish set up
“Sari was absolutely amazing! She is dependable, thoughtful, and caring, and she genuinely loves animals. She surpassed our expectations. I would hire her again without any hesitation!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my precious boy with Lauren. Lauren was super easy to communicate with and she checked in with me after her walk with my dog. I would recommend Lauren when you need someone to watch you furbabies.”
“Rico is great and my GSD loves him! He gets sad when he leaves. He is helping exercise him and work his brain and body to hopefully be less reactive in the world.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12 years old. I have always wanted a cat or a dog, but I could not get one due to my family members' allergies. So at 12, I started caring for our family friends' pets while they were away. I make sure to take special care of each animal to serve their individual needs. For dogs with more energy, I like to take them on long walks or hikes. With cats or dogs that need more attention, I make sure I give them all the cuddles and support they need to make them feel loved while their family is away. I also make sure to keep the owners updated on the state of their pets. I just graduated from university and I am home for the summer. While I am home, my schedule is pretty flexible, and I can work my schedule around your needs. Pets thrive on routine. I stick to feeding, walking, and play schedules that the pet is accustomed to, providing a sense of stability and trust. I maintain open and regular communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos to assure them of their pet’s well-being. I build trust with pets by treating them with respect and affection and understanding their needs and preferences.

Sophia is wonderful! We are very pleased with the care she provides for our dog, Lilly. She is reliable, kind, and very thoughtful. Sophia checks in with questions and pays close attention to detail to ensure Lilly receives the best care. We truly appreciate her and highly recommend her.
Our mini Aussiedoodle Luna is a full of energy and it’s always a little bit anxious when meeting new people, we can not said enough on how Stephanie and Dan were able to get her comfortable with the idea in so short time. Needles to said, what wanted to have was peace knowing that we were leaving her behind for a weekend. And that’s exactly what we got leaving Luna to their care.
