Dog Sitting Rochester

“Great work and helped eased the transition with my pup! Would recommend!”

“Almost every second or third weekend this summer, Kelsey has done one hour visits every night of our newly adopted semi-feral kitty who is not yet ready to accompany our other 3 cats to our summer camp. She has done a great job continuing to socialize DOLLY. In addition, she fills the bird feeders and makes sure that everything is good in our home. KELSEY is an A++++ because she not only cares but is so meticulous in her work.”

About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!

About: I'm a NYS Certified Teacher (heavily bg checked & vetted) currently on childcare leave to care for my youngest son. I have a high-energy rescue Pit bull and a grumpy, 20-year-old Russian Tortoise at home in addition to my 2 human kids. I grew up with pets of ALL kinds: dogs, chickens, lizards, snakes, cockatiels, guinea pigs, mice & rats, turtles, frogs & toads, axolotls, a chinchilla, a hedgehog, tons of fish, and more. I'm comfortable caring for both traditional and more exotic pets including reptiles, amphibians, birds and more. I love animals of all types- so much so that I have been a vegetarian since I was 16! Dogs have been my most constant; aside from a few of my years in NYC, I've lived with dogs my whole life! I'm on a leave of absence from my teaching position while I stay at home with my 1-year old. As such, my schedule is quite flexible with a few days' notice. I typically have daytime or evening availability most days. If this is your first booking with Rover, ask me for my promo code for $20 off! Every pet family is different; I allow you to set the tone and pace depending on your and your pets' needs. Like people, certain animals are more affectionate, outgoing and energetic, while others are more reserved and might take time to warm up and build trust and relationships. I am communicative and will send pics/video updates as often as you like!

“Jennel is wonderful! Great communication and personality. Felt great about my cat receiving wonderful care while we were out of state. Will definitely be booking with Jennel again! Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was about 10 years old! Many different dog breeds and energy levels, many different cats with attitude. I have two puppies of my own that I have trained on my own, and have dabbled in light training for puppies that aren’t mine as well! I have a lot of patience for puppies that require a little extra love and attention. I am a wedding planner trying to break into the business. This gives me a lot of free time and the ability to work whenever and wherever I’d like, which leaves extra room for pet love! I was in the Marine Corps, so I may look small, but I am mighty in my own regard. I’m very good with dogs that pull, play a little rough, or require a little extra resistance. I am extremely patient with pets who have separation anxiety, as my pets deal with it as well.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover, located in the beautiful neighborhood of North Winton Village. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and I’ve always known that animal care would be the career path I would follow. I would provide services such as pet sitting, basic grooming, playtime and being an overall great companion for your pet. I take much pride in caring for animals and grooming them to the owners preference. I offer bathing, brushing, teeth cleaning, nail trimming/filing and ear cleaning. I have a fully fenced in yard that would be very suitable for your pet. It would allow them to run around freely and feel right at home. You can be rest assured that your animal will be in good hands. I’m looking very forward to working with you and your pet! I’m currently working full time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! I’m available week days as well as weekends. I have a fully fenced in yard that would allow your dog/dogs to have plenty of space to run around and exercise throughout the day. I’m currently working full time as a pet sitter so I will have ample time to play with your pups and give them the proper care they need! I have a fully fenced in yard where they’ll be able to get plenty of exercise and playtime throughout the day. You are more than welcome to bring toys and treats as well. They will need to be crated at times when I need to step out.

About: First, what sets us apart is that we can provide pet care for many animals, not just dogs and cats. If you are someone who needs care for all of your pets such as fish, birds, and small rodents. We are very comfortable with that and we think it would be fun to provide those services too! We have been dog sitting together for friends for over the past 7 years. Kate has been for over 20 years. We live in Rochester and are "all in" with pet care. James works at an elementary school and helps out at home in the evenings. Kate is a full-time student working on her dissertation. We are able to house sit at our clients house and we fit our daily routine with wherever we are at in the city. We always make sure that the area is “pet-proofed”. Meaning that there are no choking hazards or other things that they can get to. Keeping the home tidy and clean is very important to us.

About: Dog dad to two dogs, Archie and Minnie. I work from home full time so your dog is never left alone. I take one guest dog at a time to ensure personalized attention. Thank you! I work from home full time, so your dog is never left alone during the day. I'm available for walks and drop-in visits on weekends and select weekdays. I keep my schedule light - one dog at a time - so every pup gets my full attention. I have two friendly resident dogs, Archie and Minnie, who love meeting new friends. I require a meet and greet before every first booking so dogs can get comfortable. Your dog will be treated like family - not just another booking.

“Emma has been great with Ollie! She always stays past her slotted time and I know Ollie appreciates the company! The Rover cards are great and she always takes her for a nice walk! Thank you 🙏🏼”

About: I have had two dogs in my life, both with completely different personalities. I also don’t scare easily, and am good at reading an animal’s body language. PLEASE READ: I currently working a full time job Monday-Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm, and I am looking for a part time side hustle. Unless I am out of town, I can take care of your beloved fur babies. Can’t wait to meet them😁❤️ They are always fed by a specific time, and I always make sure they have some sort of play/walk time along with mental stimulation if possible.

“This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little hesitant about leaving our animal house in someone else’s hands. But after meeting her, I immediately felt much more at ease. She took such great care of our dogs and cats (and fish!), checked in consistently, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She is so sweet, and we would absolutely have her back again!”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 5 and have experience taking care of other family’s pets. I also have had chickens, a cat, and rabbits so I am familiar with lots of animals!! I’m currently working part time at two different restaurants so I have time in the mornings or on my days off to take care of pets. I will care for pets in others homes by being kind to them and giving them the time and attention needed to be taken care of.

“Amanda was absolutely wonderful and I recommend her to anyone that needs proper care for their animals while they are away. She not only took great care of my cat but also kept the house clean and brought the mail in. I truly appreciated coming home to a happy cat and clean home. Thank you Amanda :)!”

About: "When we adopt a dog or any pet, we know it is going to end with us having to say goodbye, but we still do it. And we do it for a very good reason: They bring so much joy and optimism and happiness. They attack every moment of every day with that attitude" ~ W. Bruce Cameron I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs ,fish, and reptiles. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets.
