Doggy Day Care in Rochester

“Left my dog with her for the first time. Itzayana was very friendly. She was quick to respond to my messages and sent pictures of my dog while he was there.”

“Absolutely fantastic care!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I got so many photos and videos throughout the day of my boy looking the happiest I’ve seen him look when I’m not around. He can have anxiety, as he’s my velcro dog, so seeing him thrive without me around was so heartwarming! Denielle was so kind and accommodating, as it was a super last minute booking. I will 1000% be back!”

“Linda was AMAZING at keeping me updated throughout the day with photos, videos, and texts! It was my first time leaving my puppy for daycare and she made it very easy! Millie LOVED being there!”

“Jennifer gave Roxie breakfast and dinner every day. I think my dog liked to play with kids and other dogs. They have a big yard, so she enjoyed in the yard. I think she had a good time there. I would like to use that dog care when we go to Rochester. Thank you very much!!”

“My pup had a great time. David was thoughtful, a great communicator, and obviously has a love for dogs that makes you know your dog is in good hands. Thanks again David!”

“This was our 1st experience of sitting with James. He instantly took Artie for a walk to get him accustomed to his dog, and cared for Artie 8 hours.”

Kerry O.

“They were a great family... Viper was happy and excited... I will use them again while I am in town. Even when I come back to visit. If you are looking for a great place that you dog will enjoy this is it. They have a huge back yard which Viper really enjoyed. So if your fur baby loves the outdoors this the the right fit”

“Pablo and his fiancé made Tito’s day awesome! Very friendly and kind. Tired puppy = happy owner!!”

About: I specialize in caring for small sized dogs, especially Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, but will take medium sized upon request. At my home, the dogs play hard and take naps on the couch. I have a real dog’s home. Toys are played with, lots of love, and your dog will become a member of our family. I am very active with my dogs lives. I invite friends over to socialize them. I have 2 friendly dogs who will immediately show happy tails for their new friend. We play with bubbles, chase balls, eat doggie ice cream, and even have a few toy fish hanging around. We are the kind of home that celebrates a dog birthday with special cakes or cupcakes, enjoys watching the dogs enjoy themselves and the silly things they do, and even puts on special tv shows like the puppy bowl and the dog whisperer for your furry friend. I know what it feels like, and the concerns you might have about leaving your dog with someone new. I’ve been the worried parent too. Therefore, I try to take a variety of photos/videos of them to help you rest easy, knowing they are in good hands. I also send updates about their adventures. My dogs and I look forward to meeting you and your dog, I do meet and greets to get to know your dog, before they visit. It’s a good way for you to get to know me and become comfortable with where your dog will be staying. I’ll give you a little tour of the house and backyard. This also gives me an opportunity to assess your dog’s personality and make sure this would be a good fit for them. During the first few days of his/her visit, I pay extra attention to them. This is typically a more anxious time (when they are just getting used to everything), so I want to make sure they are comfortable. Before your visit: • Make sure all vaccinations are up to date • Complete a meet and greet (if you are new) • Make sure your dogs profile is completely filled out. If your dog has bad habits, this is where you put it. Is he/she scared of storms? Does he/she have a habit of chewing shoes or socks? Does he/she have a routine/ritual I should know about? Is he/she sensitive to being pet, or has a sensitive spot? Would you suggest a lot of patience because of their shyness? Do they have a favorite toy or activity? This is where you put that information. The more I know about your dog, the better prepared I will be for making it a good experience for him/her. • Make sure to note if you’d like any grooming services. • Put together any special instructions If you’re dog is over 15lbs, I will accept based on the sizes and temperament that is best suited for my home. Please drop me a message. What you need to bring: • Food and measuring cup • Kennel and bedding • leash and collar (even if your dog wears a harness) • medications with instructions • Any treats to get them into the kennel and for while they are resting. After all dogs are asleep in their kennels at night, I work my job driving for Lyft on the weekends. It’s flexible enough where I can stop by to let the dogs out whenever I’d like. Usually, the dogs go to bed around 10 pm and I leave to drive as soon as they sound settled. Please let me know if this is a problem for you. My pets come first. Their needs are always attended to. I do a lot of gardening, so they will have plenty of time outside. We are a smoke-free home. The dogs normally sleep in their kennels for at least half the night before joining me in bed, but daytime is spent around the house or backyard. I require kennels for your visit. Kennels are used for pup naps and solitude needed. To ensure all dogs get along, and there is no competition for food, all dogs are fed inside their kennels. I have a large fenced-in backyard for the dogs to enjoy. I use pet gates and kennels to ensure their safety. If I am not at the house because I need to run an errand, I have security cameras both inside and outside my home, which allows me to look in on them, to make sure everything is as it should be. I also require a dog to be wearing a collar. I do this for a variety of reasons. It’s the safest way to ensure a skiddish dog comes out of their kennel, or goes outside for a potty break, etc. I do take in dogs from different households. We become a pack, which is wonderful for their socializing. If you have a more aggressive dog towards other animals, please let me know. If you’d like to schedule a time where there aren’t other dogs (besides mine), please let me know. Who would not be a good fit: if your dog has limited mobility, because my home is a split level and my dogs are pretty active. It just wouldn’t be a good fit for any dog who cannot climb stairs because of a medical condition. I also take puppies, so if your dog gets aggressive or easily irritated with puppies, this may not be the best fit.

“My dogs had the best day! I would and will absolutely be booking again!”

About: I have had dogs in my life since the age of 3. I have fostered dogs waiting to be adopted while also caring for my own. I work fully remote during and have schedule flexibility which allows for great availability for dog walking, drop in visits, and doggy daycare at my home. My preference is to have an introduction visit with you and your pets prior to me visiting with them alone. During this time, I’ll learn about your routines and how you would like me to care for them. This also helps them see me as a trustworthy human!

About: I’ve been taking care of my family's and friend’s dogs for about 5 years now and would love the chance to care for more! I will care for your fur babies like they were my own! ❤️🐾 I’m currently a stay at home mom. All my kids are in school, so my 3 year old yellow lab is my only child home during the day! I have plenty of time to give lots of love and attention to your dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly yellow lab who loves to play with other dogs. I enjoy going on walks and playing outside with dogs but also love to snuggle on the couch with them too!

About: We’re a small-dog-loving, bilingual family with over 5 years of experience caring for pets—our own and others’. We are a multi-generational home, where i work from home and my retired parents stay active maintaining the household. This means we provide your dog with plenty of attention, routine updates, and one-on-one care. My parents enjoy taking dogs on daily walks around our quiet, safe neighborhood and sometimes even drives to the nearby park for longer strolls. We are attentive to individual feeding/dietary needs, and keeping the space clean and calm. We offer several quiet areas for resting, a secure backyard, and a 3-season porch perfect for shy or senior pups. Our 8-pound chihuahua enjoys other small dogs but also has her own space if needed. We follow your instructions closely and treat your pup like part of the family! =) Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home with regular breaks, and my retired, active parents help with walks and attention throughout the day. Our small dog goes out 3–4 times daily, and we can match your pet’s routine closely. We’re flexible most days except Wednesdays (no new drop offs this day, and pickups only after 8:30pm) and can provide weekend coverage three weekends a month. Preferred drop-off/pickup times are before 10am or after 4pm on weekdays, with advance notice for exceptions and flexible on weekends. Due to work my calendar and availability is up to date about two months in advance. **Dogs over 25 pounds will require meet and greet*** In our home, your dog will have safe, clean, and comfortable options based on their needs. We offer a fully fenced backyard with shade and toys, a 3-season porch for dogs who prefer quiet or indoor sun, and a temperature-controlled garage for extra space and calm. Our own small dog has her own area, ensuring your pet can relax whether they’re social or more independent.

About: I’ve had pets since I was young! I currently have my own dog who I raised alone, she is perfect and loves other dogs/cats :) I have multiple days off- so able to be flexible and in the home most of the time with your pet! They would never go more than 4 hours without going potty :) We live in an apartment- so your pet will only be walked or they will play in our fenced in dog park area. They will never be unattended :)

About: I grew up on an acreage with lots of pets - especially cats and dogs. I’ve always been responsible for taking care of the family pets and my husband and I now have two dogs of our own to love on each day. I work full time, but my husband is a stay at home dad so we would be home with your pet all day, every day! I am here for you and your pet! My dog has a seizure disorder that my husband and I have had to learn to care for over the last 5 years. As a result, I am comfortable working with your pet that may have special needs, including meds.

“Wrigley had a great time and was very well taken care of would recommend Marissa and Maverick. Thanks for caring for Wrigley during our appointment.”

About: I have been around animals and dogs my whole life. I recently lost my 17 yr old baby girl and I miss the companionship but not quite ready for a new pup! I am responding and will make sure your baby gets top notch care! I work real close to home so I am able to pop by when I have a break and check in on the babies! I am usually home every night. I care for your babies just as I would mine.. animals are the bestest of friends and deserve the best of the best. Lots of love and attention will be given.
