“Haley and her fur babies were amazing hosts to my little blind guy Luca. Always sending pictures and updates. Thank you so much for the peace of mind I got while having him stay with you.”

“Jessie has been so wonderful. I am a first time dog mom leaving my boy with a stranger for the first time. He dealt with my daily messages and made me feel so much more comfortable to be able to just enjoy my vacation! I would recommend Jessie to anyone and everyone. I’m fact I already have :)”

“This is the longest Cooper has ever been boarded, and I can’t say enough good things! We got picture update’s through our trip, and he made best friends with Luna. I’ve already sent a request for our next trip!”

About: I have always had dogs and cats as a part of my family and I also spent a lot of time cat sitting for friends and family. My family fostered puppies and dogs for several years through a local organization! I am in school studying animal behavior and have done an internship at a cat shelter giving enrichment and behavior training to the particularly shy cats. I work part time, only 3-5 hours a day at a shop a few minutes from my house. Other than work and quick errands from time to time I’m home full time otherwise! I have a huge backyard that is not fenced in, however your pet would have full on leash supervised access to the yard! I have an older cat who gets along very well with other animals.
“This was Geoffrey’s first time staying with Gigi. I appreciated all the questions she asked about him and the time she took to get to know him before his stay. Geoffrey had a great time and even learned how to use a doggy door! Gigi also did some light training with him and gave me tips on how to get him to stop jumping on people when he wants to say hello. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Gigi watch Geoffrey again for me. Thanks Gigi!”

“Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.”

“Garrison was great! She was patient with our puppy and took great care getting to know her, making her comfortable, and acclimating her to the environment for her first overnight away from us. We would definitely rebook with Garrison again.”

“Fitzy boy had so much fun and I got so many pictures! Thank you for the best time, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for fitz as I was nervous leaving him for the first time!”

About: Certified in pet first aid. Experienced in caring for diabetic dogs requiring blood sugar testing and insulin. Fantastic at understanding happy and unhappy canine behaviors. I am self-employed, so it is very easy for me to schedule around others schedules. I enjoy being home with my fur babies, so I always have availability. I have a big fenced in yard and I do not have any neighbors. My home is surrounded by woods. My small dogs are very happy to have playmates come over.
“Marie took great care of Duncan. She welcomed us into her home for a meet and greet the week before his stay. She has great experience with dogs, big and small. Duncan settled in quickly. He got lots and lots of exercise and slept comfortably in her bed. Marie sent pictures and updates every day. Duncan loved his time at “camp”. Thank you so much for helping us and taking such good care of Duncan.”

About: Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I'd love to help your pets get all of the excercise, love, and/or attention that they want and need. Whether your pets need a sitter while you are traveling, or someone to visit them while you're at work; whether you've got a puppy who needs to run, or a senior who needs a lap to sit on and have a good book read to them - I can help!! I am an ex-professional in my thirties, who decided close to a decade ago to leave my corporate job to do what I love full time - spend time with animals!! Currently, I am mom to one dog of my own (Sissy, a timid but 3.5 year old female, friendly, husky/pug mix) and 2 ridiculously friendly chickens 🤣🐥💛and I also am "Aunt Hannah" to countless other animals who I love & care for. I specialize in caring for the difficult dogs: The leash pullers, jumpers, rough players, and the super big & strong are all welcome. I've never met a dog I didn't love, but I have a special place in my heart for bully breeds. Please contact me with any questions! I look forward to loving your furbaby! 💗 Pet sitting is my full time job. I do work another part time job, but I am blessed to be able to stay home watching the animals and making sure they are living their best lives almost all of the time. My home has a a fenced yard with a connected 10x18 outbuilding just for the furbabies. There they will find comfy couches to lay on, and TV for their entertainment. Weather permitting, I like to spend as much time outdoors with them as possible.
“Had a great experience with Patrick. We had an unplanned trip for family reasons and had to find a sitter for Whiskey (1yo unfixed cav) a day before leaving. Patrick was very accommodating with this last minute booking and extending Whiskey's stay for another night. Whiskey had an awesome time playing with Moose. We got updates with pictures and videos. We're definitely going to book again for other trips”

“Hannah was great with our dog! Tobi doesn’t normally eat much when we are gone away but with Hannah Tobi ate a full bowl each night! She enjoyed the large backyard and had a great time with Hannah dogs. I can tell Tobi was well loved while we were away. We also loved receiving daily updates with photos! Thanks for the amazing care you gave to Tobi!”

“Katie was AWESOME!! My dog didn't want to leave. Very secure fenced in yard and friendly on site resident dog (Tucker). She sent me messages and pics of my dog hanging out. Will totally use her next time I am in Rochester.”

“We gratefully appreciate Debra accepting our sit upon our return to Rochester from a cross country drive beginning in California. It was a lot for the pups. Debra was trouper with Ava particularly who arrived at an unfamiliar setting. Cleary the stay caused Ava anxiety because she made several messes and was clearly out of sorts. Debra was very understanding and clearly communicated all that we. needed to know. I'm sure that Ava will be back to her old self in no time. Thank you Debra for taking a chance on us. we're sorry it wasn't a more successful sit.”

About: Stories of my childhood include all types of animals. From the labrodor who sat with me in a kiddy pool to the cats who just wouldn't stop having kittens! I'd love to take care of your animal as though they were my own. I began petsitting at sixteen, and was hired during summers by families while they were away on vacation. I've helped my family care for over ten dogs throughout my lifetime, and cared for a cat and a dog in my own household recently. I also have a natural curiosity of animal science which resulted in a few veterinarian training classes during high school. My current job with a non-profit organization allows for flexible hours, and I hope to be able to care for your pets in any way you need! I work and take care of my son from home most of the time. This allows me to give attention to your animals throughout the day as needed! We have a great back yard that I can take your dog on a walk through and plenty of sidewalks around if they need a longer walk.
“Ever since I’ve found Ricardo I’m able to travel without any worries he updates me frequently with pictures and how beans is doing. Glad to have found him and will be using him from here on out 😬”
