House Sitting in Rochester

“Laura was fantastic as usual with our cat Axel. It was the holidays so it was a bit frenetic as I traveled abroad, but the videos and check ins for my elder cat aided my anxiety. For an overnight sitter, Laura is the best :)”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12! I am active so I can play with your pup! I am comfortable giving medicine if needed! I’m currently a nursing student who wants to spend my extra time with animals! I am available throughout the week and weekends! My availability differs by week but my calendar is always up to date! I will take your fur-baby on plenty of walks and give them lots of love. I will take them to the bathroom accordingly and follow any instructions given!

“Lisa was a fabulous caregiver for my cat, Rizzo! She is a loving and caring person and went above and beyond the perimeters of our engagement and spent extra time with him, bought him toys, and watched over my house and watered flowers too in my absence. I highly recommend her for any pet care or house sitting or both.”

“Very kind, trustworthy attentive and took good care of my spoiled labs. Highly recommend. She stayed overnight with my 2 large labs and did drop in visits during the day. Very glad I chose her. Dogs love her”

About: With years of experience caring for animals, I'm confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry family members. My background includes caring for a variety of pets, from playful puppies to senior cats needing a little extra TLC. I'm adept at handling all aspects of pet care, including feeding, administering medications, and ensuring they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. I'm dedicated to following each pet's unique routine and will treat your companion with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. You can rest assured that your pet will be safe, happy, and comfortable under my care. I am available weekdays after 4:30 PM and any time on weekends to drop in to care for and play with your furry family members. During my drop-in visits, I'll provide fresh food and water, and, of course, give them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I'll also send photo updates so you can see how happy and comfortable your pet is in the safety of their own home.

About: We’ve been hugging dogs since we were kids, and we’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and our family enjoy hosting furry friends - we take care of them and our pups play hard with them! Please note: *We cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *We host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - pups who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and we will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is our full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! We spend our days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. Our 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes us a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! We accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; we will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. Our availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but we aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! Our entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! We can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. We don’t require pups to use crates while we’re gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, we’re happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but we can supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. We have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to us! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)

About: My name is Laura. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I have been a Rover sitter on and off for about 5 years and would love to take care of your fur babies while you are out of town. I have owned several special needs animals and am good at working with animals of all temperments. I have experience dealing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I especially love caring for older dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I have worked with large groups of dogs and am willing to take care of several at a time if you have a large pet family. I have open availability and would love to play with your dog and make sure they are well taken care of. I have a full time job with flexibility. As long as I have about a weeks notice it should not be a problem to accommodate weekday visits to pets. Weekends are no problem. I like to do an initial house visit with the owner to get an idea of what the house looks like and where the pet is comfortable. If we cannot get a face to face meeting first please message me with detailed care instructions to ensure proper care for your pet.

“Elena is Great the dogs love her she plays with them; takes them outside they have a lot of fun with her. She is great at sending updates about what is going on and lots of pictures. We will have her again.”

About: I have been taken care of animals since I can remember! I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals/different breeds and I love it! I have been taking care for friends and family, and I’m just trying to get more out there! I’d cuddle with them, play with them, feed them and give them treats, I take them on walks, I’ve taken some dogs to get groomed, I’ve even given baths before, and I’d do whatever needed to be done! I’ve stayed over night with animals before while the owners were out of town and I love being with new animals! I’ve also had to take care of some animals that needed insulin and other medications! I used to have a senior dog that I would have to help get up and carry outside when he needed to go! I love taking care of any animals and have so much fun doing it! I am currently working part time so I’d definitely have time to play with the animals and take them out as many times as needed! I work morning shifts so I’m free in the afternoon! I’m always taking care of my animals as well so I’m definitely used to it! My kitties have a cat tree they love and lots of toys we play with! I can do whatever is needed to take care of them! I can create your dog if necessary!

About: I have experience fostering dogs with the animal shelter APL and have a small toy poodle of my own. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play. I love dogs and would love to have the opportunity to watch dogs and take care of others! I am open to watching dogs for a couple hours, a day, or even a couple of days if that is what is needed. My house has a small backyard and I am also available to do drop ins at the dogs own home. The area is very quiet and would be comfortable for another dog to be in. If I am caring for someone else's dog I plan on being home for the time I'm watching the dog so that it will be well taken care of. I’m currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals. I am available early mornings or early afternoons to give your animal a break during the workday! I am also available any time on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I have a toy poodle and a golden retriever. I can also do drops in to walk or play with your dog as well!

“Amanda came to stay with our puppy and he absolutely adores her! She is friendly and reliable and I would recommend her anytime you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was young, family and friends have allowed me to take care of them. I enjoy taking them on walks, petting them and giving the attention they deserve, and taking care of them. I will treat them just as you would and offer extended stays. For stays longer than 5 days, most I have done is a month and a half as of present, you will return to a clean home 😊 I am strong and able to keep my stability while walking dogs, am able to let them out, feed them, give baths, and offer other services for the home like my interior design skills which is another side business, that can be spoken about, if interested.
