“I had great cat sitting service from Danielle for 4 days! She is super friendly and good communicator. She spent extra time to play with my three cats. I will have her service again for sure!”
“Consistently the best Rover we’ve ever had! She has been absolutely phenomenal when it comes to taking care of our very high-maintenance cats. She goes above and beyond with pet care and communication, and she is extremely reliable. If you’re looking for a pet sitter in the Rochester area, I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I can’t say enough good things about Mara! She went above and beyond!

About: I've been watching both dogs and cats for family, friends, and others for roughly three years now. I have always been called back for a second time as needed, meaning your pet will be in great hands! I've had experiences with dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies/kittens to seniors! I am able to give oral medicine if needed! I am currently working a part time job; I'm working every day but Wednesdays and Thursdays, usually 6-8.5 hours. I am available before and after work, as well as overnights. I am willing to try and work out any issues with scheduling! I will follow instructions and current routines you have for your pet! For example, if there's a certain time they are fed each day, I will be sure to follow that.
“Loryn is a lifesaver and checked on my pup, Fiona, during a weekend and I could immediately tell that she loves dogs! She sent timely and adorable updates on my pup and I felt very at ease that Fiona was in good hands, will definitely book again!!”
