“There are not enough words to explain how wonderful Emily is. She has been walking my dog for a little over a year now and today was a much different circumstance. When she arrived for his walk, she noticed immediately that he wasn’t acting like himself. She notified me right away and even offered to bring him to the emergency vet. Instead I had my dad come get him because I did not want her to have to go thru that even though I know she would’ve in a heart beat. She sat with him and cuddled him until my dad arrived. She kept me up to date and went out of her way to try and figure out what was going on with him. Her intuition was spot on and he received the care he needed. I’m so happy she was there when she was. Thank you Emily for an amazing year of being Marley’s dog walker. We both love and appreciate you very much ❤️”
“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!”

“Morgan and John were lifesavers taking our chompy little puppy for a nice long walk to burn some energy in the middle of the day when we had to return back to work full time. We’ll definitely be using them again!”


About: 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
“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: I have been taking care of several of my neighbors dogs for a few years. I am a stay at home dog mom with a 30lb poodle mix named Eddie. We love to entertain! I am a stay at home dog mom, just resigned from my 18 year long career. I will always be home unless I have to run to the store quick. I make all dogs feel as comfortable as possible. They are allowed on the furniture and walked daily. I always recommend bring the dogs bed or blanket to make them feel more secure.
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
About: I have been walking dogs for families off and on since I was in middle school, and I’m now 27! I am currently in Rochester and have transportation of my own.

My neighborhood is really quiet and cute, and going for regular walks in my location is quite easy. Taking dogs for daily walks in your home and neighborhood is quite suitable for me.
“Kathleen is excellent with our 100lb dog, Raya! She always takes her picture and is excellent with communicating with us! Even our kids like to say hi to Kathleen when she comes. Thank you for being a great help to our family.”

“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.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals and have always loved caring for them.

I’m very patient, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals—they make me so happy, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.

I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a safe, calm, and loving home environment for pets. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is fully supervised and dogs are kept on a leash for safety. Inside, pets have a clean, comfortable space with lots of attention, play, and care. I follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels secure, happy, and well taken care of.
About: I’ve been taking care of my own 2 cats for the past 3 years and I’ve grown up watching my family’s dogs.
