About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 20 years and currently care for multiple dogs and cats of my own, so I understand the day-to-day routines that keep pets happy, calm, and safe. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, walks, medications, and managing the dynamics of multi-pet households. I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years and understand how important it is to respect your home, your pet’s routine, and your trust. My goal is to provide dependable, low-stress care so you can travel or work knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m a business owner with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for consistent care, routine check-ins, and attentive time with your pets. I care for pets in their own home by following established routines, respecting your space, providing reliable check-ins, and keeping you updated so you can feel at ease.

“Victoria was incredible with Finn who is a high energy Aussie puppy. He absolutely loved walking and playing with her and I will definitely be using her again. She is 100 percent reliable experienced and accommodating! Five stars and more!!!”

“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of our three pugs for us (and was incredibly accommodating on short notice). We will be using her exclusively in the future for any needs we have with extra help. Thanks again Brittany!”

About: Like many others, I am a dog lover and was raised taking care of family dogs. Unlike others, that passion led to training and classes, competing in dog sports, and now, competing in dog shows. I have experience with many breeds of all sizes, senior pet care, reactive dog care and training. I would love to help you with your pet care needs! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most dogs’ needs. I currently have open availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop in visits. Dogs are treated like one of my own! I take your dog out for leashed potty breaks several times a day, according to their needs. While I am working, your dog can settle on the couch or one of the many dog beds, or relax and play with my dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Foxhound). If your dog likes the crate, I have an extra for them. When I run errands, your dog will be crated or gated in a separate room from my dogs for safety. I live on 4 acres next and next to a cemetery, so I can take your dog for relaxing walks in a peaceful environment.

“Jennifer is a great, thoughtful dog walker. It’s obvious that she enjoys Bailey and Bailey obviously loves Jennifer. Always gives good reports how Bailey did on her walk, meeting dogs, adults and children.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and my own pet, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, and drop-in visits. I am patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level. I am especially mindful of safety, leash handling, and reading dog body language to ensure positive experiences. My goal is to become a dog trainer, so I genuinely enjoy working with dogs and building trust with them. I have a flexible and evolving schedule that allows me to offer a variety of availability throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your needs whenever possible, and I’m actively increasing my availability for new clients! My dog Havi is truly part of our family. He’s a classic bulldog — a bit stubborn at times, but also incredibly affectionate and a big cuddler with everyone in the house, including my kids. Living with him has reinforced how important it is for dogs to feel secure, comfortable, and loved. I bring that same warmth and attentiveness into the care I provide for every pet.

About: There has never been a time when I didn't have a dog around me! I have grown up with dogs, and I have been asked to dog sit overnight for multiple people. I am comfortable around dogs of all ages. I do have experience handling emergency situations, and you will never have to worry about your babies while they are under my care! I am fully committed to spoiling your furry family members. I grew up with three dogs - Foxy (golden retriever), Mickey (schnoodle), and Copper (schnoodle). I went above and beyond in order to make my loves happy every single day, and I will without a doubt take care of your dogs like they are my own. My wife and I now have Cerdito (Pocket American Bully) and have been hard at work training. I am happy to help reinforce training during my time with your pups. I work as a full-time RN, so I cannot accept serial weekly bookings. I work as an RN full-time. I will update my schedule very frequently to offer you an accurate view of which days/times will work. If invited into your home, I will be very conscientious of keeping it clean and making sure your dog is safe. Everything will be how you left it!

About: As a fur Momma myself to two dogs, I know how important it is to find a trustworthy sitter/dog walker. I have had dogs all my life. I went to Alfred State College and gained experience in veterinary technology and agriculture. I have worked as an animal care assistant in a veterinary hospital for six years. I then became the Animal Care Assistant Supervisor. I helped take care of all kinds of animals that came into the office. Big, little, young, old...dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. I am very comfortable giving oral or injectable medications. I am a level 3 fear free certified professional. I know the signs of fear and anxiety in both cats and dogs. I am skilled and have techniques to help your pet during times of stress and anxiety. I can even give you some tips and tricks to try at home! I'm currently a stay at home mom of two young kids so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby or fur babies. I will follow your very instructions. I can feed them whenever, give medications, and exercise them. I can crate them if need be as well.

About: I always loved having pets growing up. I grew up in the country so we had a lot of space for animals to be able to run around and be outside. Dogs, cats, birds...practically every creature you can imagine. Currently I have a cat of my own, and a friend’s dog who I watch fairly regularly. It works out well because I’m a very active person who likes to get outside as much as possible—hiking when the weather permits and bringing him along with me. This is in part due to my ever-changing, flexible schedule. I have a few set shifts during the week, but for the most part I make my own hours and I have time to be available pretty much whenever I am needed!

About: I’ve had pets all my life. I’m retired so I have time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’ve worked with deaf dogs and administered meds for both young and older pets. All in all my theory is that pets just make one’s life all the better they are truly gifts to us. I am retired so I have a lot of flexibility to stay with your pet or have your pet with us in our home or walk your dog when needed. I have a fenced yard and two sweet dogs who get the run of the house along with your dog, including the furniture. It’s a happy home here.

About: I've always had such a deep love for animals of any kind, and I've been taking care of all kinds of creatures ever since I was 9 or 10 years old! I've been responsible for taking care of family pets, as well as more professional pet-sitting for family, neighbors, friends, etc. I've always prided myself on my ability to treat your pets as if they were my own. I'm a very gentle, non-threatening entity for many animals I've cared for, but I can also be very energetic for those that need a way to get all that canine energy out! I will always keep to whatever walking, feeding, sleeping, potty, and/or medication (if needed) schedule that your pet(s) are used to doing, so they can be the most comfortable they can be. I'm truly hoping that I can make animal care my career, and my heart is full of love towards your fur (and scaly) babies! I'm currently working part-time at a dog groomer, so I'm available from Saturdays-Tuesdays (I work 12-6 Wednesday-Friday). I can do a Friday evening or a Wednesday morning if it's really needed. I try to spend as much time with your pet as possible, so that's why I'd recommend booking on the full days I have off from work. I have a small dog, so there are plenty of toys and treats available! We also have a crate and a baby gate, so if anyone needed some alone time, we can make that available for them. Our apartment also has a big courtyard, so if your pup needs some outdoor time, there's plenty of space to run around! (On a leash, of course)

About: I have worked with animals all of my life. I have two dogs of my own at home and everyday they get walks, treats, and playtime no matter what my schedule looks like. I am going to college and dog sitting is something that I find enjoying. I recently moved here from Michigan. I have an easy schedule so I am normally available. Please message me if you have any more questions! I am excited to hear from you! I also do long term or extended sitting as well. Unfortunately I do not board or sit at my home. I love all animals and I will make sure they get the love, care, and affection needed while your away! Right now I’m a stay at home worker. Who was time to take care of your pets. I will make sure they get let out or given lots of attention. Since I do not sit at my home, I will follow your direct instructions on how to let your pets out, feed them, administer medications, etc.

About: I’m a professional handler making a pivot to personalized individual care. I have experience in the training world; I’ve even trained my own service dog. I’ve also worked in behavioral health as a Canine Care Technician. I’m currently a student a RIT studying for a career in Public Safety. I do almost exclusively afternoon/evening classes and am willing to wake up early just for the special cat or dog in your life. I am certified in Fear Free/LIMA techniques and have a grasp on positively-reinforced Balance training. I will default to your family’s system to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pets. With your consent, I will leave the house better than I found it; dishes (including water/food bowls) will be washes and the floor swept. We will agree on appropriate times for me to send updates and you will get as many photos as you could possibly want (I have mastered portrait mode on my phone as it relates pet photography. You can ask for previous works.) Thank you for the opportunity to help you optimize your pet’s day. It will be a day full of joy and whimsy!

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I have been on Rover for several years and am starting up my business again. I LOVE being outdoors and am always happy to take dogs on walks, to the park, or even spend time by the lake. I have a 6-year-old chihuahua mix named Ghost, who I fostered before adopting. I completely understand how to support dogs who may be a little “sassy” and just need extra patience and love...because trust me, chihuahua's have BIG personalities! Ghost also has Addison’s Disease, which has given me several years of experience managing daily medications and have been trained by my veterinarian on how to administer his monthly injections. I’m confident and comfortable caring for pets with medical or special needs. I’m also a volunteer with Happy Tails (Ontario County Humane Society), where I continue to deepen my commitment to animal care. In addition to dogs, I have a cat of my own and am happy to care for cats too, whether that’s feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, or just providing plenty of snuggles. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule and can work around your schedule! I’m happy to stop by whenever is convenient for you. I prefer at least a day notice in advance if possible. I will follow whatever instructions you provide. Does your pup need a walk? Does he/she need to play fetch in the backyard? Or does he/she just need cuddles? I’m happy to provide multiple levels of care because I care about your pup!

About: Hi ! I have grown up with dogs and cats all my life and have always enjoyed their friendship. I would enjoy taking care of your pets at your house or mine. My family has two dogs and a cat. The cat keeps to himself and the dogs are neutered and friendly, but i could keep them apart if you prefer. I live near a few beautiful parks and Seneca Lake so the opportunities of walks and play are endless. I have younger siblings that are good with pets and love playing with them, but if your pet isn't comfortable around children my siblings will keep their distance. I am available Monday and Tuesday after 4 and all day during the rest of the week.
