About: I've had several dogs in my life, smaller and larger dogs. I had a cocker spaniel mix when I was a kid, a collie when my kids were young, and most recently a German shepherd. Each had their own personality and I have special memories of each one of them. I have taken care of older dogs and younger dogs. I can handle the energy of younger dogs and the needs of older ones. We have always seen our pets as members of the family and I hope you will allow me to see your dog in the same way. I have friends that I have stayed at their house for a couple of weeks to spend time with their dog while they were on vacation. We went for walks twice a day and had a lot of time playing together. I work remotely in my job so I am happy to work from wherever is needed to take care of your pet. My schedule is flexible and I will work hard to accommodate the schedule of you pet. If you just need someone to come to walk your dog or just spend time with your cat, I have the flexibility in my day to do that. My first goal is to make your dog or cat comfortable with my visit. If I'm staying in your home, I will follow the routine you have set to do just that.

“Hannah is very friendly, and prompt. Mia enjoyed her time outdoors with Hannah.”

About: When I was in middle school, my science teacher went to the Philippines for the whole summer. I took care of her mices, dogs, guinea pigs and more. Growing up in Iowa, I have been around many animals including dogs. Also I have had friends who traveled to Europe and they had to leave their poodles, black labs and many more and trusted their dogs in my care at their home for a month or two weeks if needed when I lived in Washington state before moving to Honeoye Falls. When I dog sat, I made sure I gave medicine as instructed to the dogs as needed. I played with them, took them hiking, the beach, cuddled on the couch and learned about what they liked and don’t like and what makes them happy. I made sure that their owners were happy as well. When I was asked to come and dog sit again, the dogs would be waiting at the window waiting for my arrival. These dogs were sure happy to see me when I came back to dog sit them! I have plenty of time to play with your pups 🐶I would be available for boarding on the weekends and week days after 4pm. I would be happy to give lots of love and attention/play to your fur babies! I have a fenced yard and have two fur babies who love to socialize. I also love to spoil your dogs too! I work from home twice a week and can pet sit on the weekends as well! As for dog sitting in the client’s home I would treat your place with respect, love and care. Anything you need I will make sure that your pets receive it. I will also communicate and send pictures!

“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”

“Destiny was very responsive and loving with our new pup and easy to work with. She was available on short notice and I really appreciated her gentle approach.”

“David is an absolutely phenomenal dog sitter! He took amazing care of my boyfriend and I’s two huskies, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. My boyfriend especially gets so so so anxious about anybody watching them, and for him to be at peace 24/7 knowing David was there should say a lot. He was incredibly responsive and professional throughout the entire process. The numerous photos he sent gave me so much relief and reassurance, knowing my boys were in good hands and having a blast. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! His wife was also extremely sweet and didn’t mind going on walks with our crazy boys and made the cutest art of them.”

About: As a true animal lover, I've been caring for my own dogs, birds, guinea pigs, frogs, turtles, lizards, and fish for most of my life and have helped family and friends while they were away as well. I work from home and have a fairly flexible schedule so I can easily work drop-in visits, playtime and dog walks into my calendar as needed. I follow your instructions to the letter to keep your pet's routine while you're away and make sure they receive lots of love and attention to build our bond and minimize any separation anxiety.

About: My specialty as a sitter is patience! I’ve raised kittens with my sister, looked after elderly dogs who need multiple medications, as well as finicky cats and dogs who take a while to warm up to you. My work schedule is only about 20 hours a week, so because I cannot have a pet of my own, I have plenty of time to look after your pets, and I would love to!! I cannot have a pet of my own because I travel often for auditions and gigs, but while I am in town my work schedule is light. I want to fill up my time with furry friends because of this!! It’s my absolute pleasure to be able to spend my time caring for your pets.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I looked after neighborhood dogs when the family would be out of town. I walk them, feed them, play with them, and have had dogs stay with me at my home. I take care of my own dog and we are very active. Being active is part of my dog’s breed and is something I could provide for animals that are at home while owners are at work or out of town. I live in a townhome with one dog that will keep your pet busy! Sage loves to play, run, and swim. As far as going to other homes I have stayed in the home for a couple hours playing with the animals. Either one works for me. When we do have another dog stay with us, we constantly stay active and also have time for rest. Dog parks, hikes, walking on the beach, are some examples of activities that I have done with other dogs.

About: I have experience dog sitting for various breeds and sizes, providing attentive care and companionship. My responsibilities included daily walks, feeding, administering medication, and keeping a safe environment. My goal is to create a comfortable and happy atmosphere for each dog while giving their owners peace of mind while they’re away. I am a graduate student studying for my masters degree. With only classes to work around I will work to take care of your pets around my schedule. I make sure to take into account an owners wants and needs. Whether it is my own home or a clients I will ensure that your pet is well cared for and taken care of.

About: I’ve grown up with multiple breeds of dogs and have been dog sitting for just over 8 years! I have experience dog sitting in other peoples homes as well as my own. I currently have an 8 month old terrier/husky/german shepherd puppy that is very friendly and well behaved with guest dogs in the home. I also have a history of competing in dog shows so I am happy to work on training if requested. I have a hybrid work schedule so I am able to be home whenever I’m hosting a dog. Additionally, my parter works a fully remote job so we have a lot of flexibility when it come to day time walks, potty breaks, and trips to the park! I have an 8 month old terrier/husky/german shepherd mix who has been exposed to dogs of all genders, breed, size, and age. We start every morning with a 30-60 minute walk before breakfast. Then around 10-12 we spend about 30 minutes in the dog park. At night we spend another hour in the park or on a long walk. With dinner we like to work on skills/training for about 20 minutes. Our dog is crate trained and we do ask guests to have a crate as well so that they’re safe in case they need to be left unattended for any period of time.

“Ronnie was very through with the preparation for service. Asked plenty of questions about habits and routines. Was punctual, and provided exactly what I needed, and will be my 1st ask if necessary in the future.”

About: I have had a lot of experience with dogs throughout my life. I have always had dogs so I know how to take care of them and I have also helped my family members take care of young puppies. I have had experience with many different types of dogs as well and I feel comfortable with new dogs. I am currently a full time student who's classes are all online so I am available at many different times. I am looking to have a flexible schedule as I still do have school work to manage. I am looking to be a dog walker. I have a large yard and I am very close by to dog parks and parks with a lot of space. I am an athlete as well so I am often taking different runs throughout these times of the day.

About: Starting from a young age I knew I needed to be a pet care provider. Starting in high school I worked at several barns providing care for various livestock and companion animal species alike. While I love our livestock, I find more fulfillment in helping our household pets. I’m currently working on an animal care and behavior degree, and work at an animal hospital. I have experience in giving oral medications (to both dogs and cats) as well as subcutaneous fluids. I’ve managed several complex medication plans and understand how important a regular routine is for our pets. If you think we would be a good fit please reach out with any questions you may have. I do work full-time during work days, however, I can accommodate your pets needs during the day as long as we have clear communication. Aside from my full time work schedule, I’m dedicated to making sure your pets get the highest quality of care possible. Every pet is different! What works for one animal may throw your own pet into a panic and I’m here to make sure we can create a routine for your pet that makes them the most comfortable when you can’t be there. If your dog needs outside time and you don’t have a yard, let’s find the closest park or walking trail! Do your pets become anxious over night? I’ll be there to snuggle their worries away and provide all the pepperoni and churu they could ask for. Whatever your pets needs are, we’ll have an open line for communication throughout their time with me to ensure both you and them are happy.

About: I’ve grown up with animals in the house my whole life. By the time I was 10 I had a dog of my very own, I trained him, took care of him and yes even let him sleep in my bed. He was my absolute best friend, so I understand how stressful it can be leaving your animals with strangers. I want to do everything I can to ease that stress so you and your pets feel as safe as possible. I’m an actor! My only commitments are rehearsals and performances that usually take place at night. My days are all free for your pet needs. I’ve had all kinds of animals from cats to a turtle to a chihuahua and a yellow lab. I understand that every animal has different needs. You tell me what your animal needs and I’ll do everything in my power to do it.

“Hannah is wonderful! Even though we didn’t have time for a meet and greet I felt extremely comfortable after texting back and forth about my pup. Hannah kept me informed throughout her visit and was very conscientious. Seeing photos of my dog during their time together warmed my heart.”

About: ’ve grown up surrounded by both cats and dogs, and I’ve always loved caring for them. I helped my grandma with her dog-grooming business, which gave me hands-on experience with many different breeds and temperaments. I also have a dog of my own and help care for my roommate’s dog, so daily walks, playtime, and routines are second nature to me. Whether it’s a fun walk or a quick drop-in for some love and attention, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and cared for! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I’m available for drop-ins or daycare at my house on those days. Tuesdays through Thursdays, I can do evening drop-ins, and I’m fully available on weekends. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some company, or just a little extra love, I’m here to help! I have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly doodles who are both up to date on their vaccines if you’re interested in bringing your dog to my home. If I’m coming to your home instead, I just ask that you share any quirks your dog may have on walks or around other dogs so I can be fully prepared and give them the best care possible.
