Pet Boarding Penfield

About: What sets me apart is how much I genuinely love dogs — I don’t just care for them, I connect with them. I take time to understand each pup’s personality, routines, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved just like they would at home. You can always count on me to show up, communicate clearly, and treat your dog with the same care and consistency I give my own. I pay attention to every detail — from feeding schedules to favorite toys — so you can truly relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I have had dogs my whole life! When I was 5 we rescued a greyhound and when she passed we got into fostering other grey hounds. When we found ourselves dog-less again, we discovered our little 9lb furry baby Paige from Lollypop farm — we still have her and she just had her 16th birthday. Since Paige we also adopted a Chi-weenie and a Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. I pride myself on being dependable, responsive, and proactive. I send regular updates, photos, and notes so you never have to wonder how your dog is doing. Your peace of mind (and your pup’s happiness) are my top priorities. I primarily work in the office during the week, but I do have the option to work from home — so if your pup needs a little extra time and attention, I can absolutely make that happen! I’ll never let a dog go more than 6–8 hours without care, but if your pup is used to more frequent potty breaks, I’ll make that a priority. I’m also primarily home on the weekends (I actually prefer to have no weekend plans!), which means I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your bestie all day. 🐾 I’m pretty flexible and happy to adjust my schedule to fit your dog’s routine. Just communicate your expectations, and I’m confident we can work out a plan that keeps your pup happy, comfortable, and cared for. I live in a spacious 1,500 sq ft apartment — plenty of room for your pup to explore, play, and relax! While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure every dog gets plenty of outdoor time with frequent walks and potty breaks throughout the day. I don’t currently have any dogs of my own so your pup will have my full attention and the space all to themselves. However, if your dog enjoys the company of other pups, I’d be happy to introduce them to my mom’s 12lb rat terrier/chihuahua/dachshund mix — he’s a friendly little social butterfly who loves making new friends! I don’t currently own a crate, but I’m more than happy to get one if that helps your dog feel more comfortable. I have an abundance of toys for playtime and a ginormous couch perfect for snuggles, naps, and quality cuddle time with my furry guests. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every pup like my own while they’re here. ❤️

“Erika and her family were great with Parker while we were out of town for the week. She kept me updated with pictures and reassured me that he was settling in well and got along great with her other dogs. Erika is very thorough and took the time to make sure all questions were answered and any special needs were accommodated. We felt very comfortable leaving Parker with her and he had a great time and was well cared for! Thank you!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life! Growing up with both Pomeranians and German Shepherds gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m a nurturing, patient, and responsible person who genuinely loves animals. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping your dog company, I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have two children, ages 14 and 5, and we enjoy having animals around. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your furry family member will receive plenty of attention and affection! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for your furry family members. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walking, including weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate different routines and will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I provide a loving, clean, and comfortable home environment where dogs can feel relaxed and welcome. I have two children, ages 14 and 5, so I welcome dogs who are comfortable around children. I believe in maintaining familiar routines, providing plenty of supervision, and keeping owners updated with pictures and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs of my own. I had a lab and a yorkie silk terrier. I treat dogs like they are my children. I will take them on fun walks, make sure their well fed and play with them. I always make sure my focus is on the dogs so they don't feel lonely! Something that sets me apart from other walkers and sitters is that I like cardio. So just walking alot or even running with the dog will not only help me but the dog too! I really want a dog of my own right now but me and my husband don't have the finances so we thought this be the perfect job! I hope you give me a chance to watch your dog! You won't be dissappinted!

“Maryfran was wonderful with our timid bulldog. Our dog felt right at home in the relaxing environment created by Maryfran. We were sent frequent updates and photos of our pup while we were away that put us at ease as well. We will be using her services again very soon. We would highly recommend Maryfran.”

“Cody was able to watch my dog, Ziggy, on very short notice, which was great. He took Ziggy on more than enough walks and gave him plenty of treats and attention. We will definitely ask Cody to dog sit again in the future!!”

“Gigi was so nurturing and caring of my furry old baby. Knowing that my dog has several health challenges, Gigi was quite vigilant of his behavior and health changes. She sent pictures daily and notified me of what she observed as changes that cause her concern. I appreciate her special attention and care she provided my Kash. Ii would certainly trust her to care for Kash again.”

“Tony had a great stay with Corwin! He was anxious to be away from us at first but Corwin was great with our pup and reassured us with lots of updates and photos to put us at ease! He was taken care of very well and we would definitely use Corwin again!”

Michelle L.

“In a perfect world, Serefina and her awesome partner and their awesome dog will be free every time I need to leave Petey somewhere... they were attentive and loving, gave Petey the amount of exercise he needs (which is A LOT), and when we picked him up he was happy, relaxed, and possibly even better behaved than when we left him there 2 weeks before.”

“Hollis was wonderful with our two dogs, Henry and Archie. We're so grateful for his flexibility, good communication, and loving care. Looking forward to booking again. Highly recommend!”

“Lori always takes such great care of my pup. Constant updates accompanied by great pics. She walks her frequently and spoils her rotten! I'd recommend her again and again. Thanks Lori!”

“Hannah was super responsive and took such great care of Davey!”

Julia F.

“Huk & Finley LOVE staying with Jamie & Brian. They're always making new puppy friends when they are there and are so well taken care of. I love all of the pictures and updates I receive and especially love the fact that I can take a vacation and not have to worry about whether or not my pups are being taken care of or receiving enough attention. They certainly get a lot of snuggles with Jamie and Brian! Thank you so much for another great stay!”

“Sarah did a fantastic job taking care of my energetic and anxious dog Bear over the weekend. He had so much fun playing with Hopper, and can’t wait to come back :)”

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.

“OMG I don't know where to begin! Porter came home happy and we were updated with pics and little notes so we didn't worry!! I was very happy here.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and size since i was 8 years old. Growing up I always wanted to work with animals and eventually I did. I worked at Verona street animal shelter and helped not only dogs but cats,bunnies,turtles,hamsters and more. I’ve dealt with really aggressive dogs and really scared/hurt dogs so i have knowledge on both.I took care of the dogs, trained, groomed, snuggled and loved on each and every dog of every kind. I am currently working full time at the moment so boarding will have to be on the weekends. But during the week there will be times i have a day off and sometimes there won’t but i will be able to have a couple hours to snuggle your fur baby :) Caring for the fur babies in their home i just follow the schedule and routine they have and snuggle up with them and play. In my home i have a 4 year old who loves animals as much as me and enjoys having fun, going for walkies and snuggling up by our electric fireplace.

“Dianna and Matthew were excellent hosts for Blue. Dianna goes above and beyond to ensure you have all the peace of mind you need when leaving your dog. It was easily my best experience with Rover yet and I won’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you!”

“Shawna is among the best doggy sitters! Lucky loved Shawna right away. She was easygoing and attentive. She sent us notes, pictures and videos of Lucky in her care. Shawna took Lucky in at the last minute for us as our other daycare couldn’t take her. Even though Lucky was happy to see us home, she was sad to leave Shawna! We will definitely ask Shawna watch Lucky again. ❤️”

About: I've had pets in my life since the day I was born, and as a teen I spent several years working in an animal shelter, caring for animals and working with the health team. I'm experienced with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with behavioral challenges, and visually impaired and deaf animals. I've also cared for dogs with serious health needs like cancer and diabetes. I'm not a vet or vet tech, but I'm comfortable with basic care like changing a bandage, and I know how to respond in an emergency and reach the nearest emergency care. I also sit cats, birds, small critters, and reptiles. For dogs, I like to start with a meet and greet, so I ask for as much advance notice as possible, though I'm flexible in emergencies. If you'd like, I can also arrange grooming and specialized training as an additional service while your pet is in my care, provided through a licensed groomer and trainer. Your pet will be treated like family. I work from home, so I offer daytime care during work hours as well as overnight boarding while you travel. Your pet gets plenty of one-on-one time and extra TLC when needed. All pet care happens in my home on a quiet street in the Village of Manchester. I work remotely, so your pet is never left alone for long. Dogs get lots of one-on-one time, and I'm happy to send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I start with a neutral meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along with my dog Leo. I have a large backyard with natural tree lines and barriers, but safety comes first. Any dog in my care stays on a leash or tie out whenever they're outside, with no exceptions, even if a yard is fenced. I'm happy to take short walks into the yard, and if your pet prefers pet pads, I can provide those. Cats get a quiet room behind closed doors, separate from my own cats, and can stay in their crate, come out, or sit with me in my office. I know how to respond in an emergency and how to reach the nearest emergency care.
