“I have a pair of very difficult dogs. Both are extremely nervous creatures - one is afraid of strangers and the other is afraid of just about everything else. I worry so much about other people looking after them but Kim has been wonderful! She's very patient with them and knows when they need some affection and when she has to give them their space. She also always leaves me very detailed reports of everything that happened during her visits so that I don't have to worry while I'm out (which is very appreciated because I DEFINITELY worry!!!) I really, really appreciate what good care she takes of my boys when I'm gone 😊”
“We were very happy with Gabby! Our kitties were well cared for and the communication was excellent. We would definitely use her services again!”
“This was our 4th booking with Ronnie. He does a great job taking care of our fur baby. She's a shy girl, but she has really warmed up to Ronnie. It's great to have peace of mind when we're away. Thank you, Ronnie!”

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!
“Kayla has been taking care of our animals for more than 3 years now and we have had nothing but great experiences with her. We are grateful for all the great care and the attention to our home! She's the best!”
“Katie is absolutely wonderful, book with complete confidence in her. We left our two cats in her care during a family vacation and she went above and beyond making them as comfortable as possible during our absence. We would absolutely book her services again in the future. Thank you Katie!”
“Daniel took excellent care of our elderly do while we were out of town for a few days. Prompt and always sent a picture during his visits. Thank you so much!”

About: I have been taking care of my family members’ dogs and cats for very long time and I finally took a care of my friend’s pets recently. And I’m willing to take care of cats and dogs from you guys and I’ll treat your pet like how I treat my fur babies. I’m currently college student and Rochester Institute of Technology is around 4 minutes away from here and I will like to make a time for dog and cat sitting. I’m living in the apartment, and I don’t mind to do maintaining their regular routine, providing food and water, playtime, and attention whenever they need.
About: I’m a professional handler making a pivot to personalized individual care. I have experience in the training world; I’ve even trained my own service dog. I’ve also worked in behavioral health as a Canine Care Technician. I’m currently a student a RIT studying for a career in Public Safety. I do almost exclusively afternoon/evening classes and am willing to wake up early just for the special cat or dog in your life. I am certified in Fear Free/LIMA techniques and have a grasp on positively-reinforced Balance training. I will default to your family’s system to maintain a safe environment for your beloved pets. With your consent, I will leave the house better than I found it; dishes (including water/food bowls) will be washes and the floor swept. We will agree on appropriate times for me to send updates and you will get as many photos as you could possibly want (I have mastered portrait mode on my phone as it relates pet photography. You can ask for previous works.) Thank you for the opportunity to help you optimize your pet’s day. It will be a day full of joy and whimsy!
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.
“Heather's help was ABSOLUTELY CLUTCH during the holidays. She did a great job with Roxy and Austin. Roxy is very shy around strangers, but Heather was very accommodating and made sure she was loved and cared for while her mothers were gone. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Jenna was wonderful with Bruce. She was quick to respond to messages, and was incredibly flexible with my frequently changing schedule. I really appreciated her visit updates and photos. The peace of mind I got from knowing that Jenna was dropping in to visit Bruce was priceless. You won’t regret booking Jenna!!”
About: Hello, I have been a dog owner and lover all my life. I have grown up with both dogs and cats throughout my childhood and visiting my Aunts' farm every summer. Being around all sorts of animals and having the responsibility of taking care of them has taught me patience and unconditional love. I enjoy their different personalities and playing with them all! I have the ability to take on the responsibility and more flexible schedule to have this as a side hustle again. My family and I have recently moved to the Rochester area and I am available during the day for a quick relief visit, or walk if you know youll be gone for an extended period of time! I understand the importance of a routine and exercise and am willing to take care of your pet as I would my own. Because of my current availability, my schedule allows for up to two visits during the day/evening for letting your pup(s) out and/or a walk around your block. What I do for my dog: Walks at least twice a day, feed them twice a day and have lots play time in between. When possible, visits to the dog park, and naps together.

Maribeth D.
“Maribeth is such a compassionate two-legged person who adores any four-legged dogs, especially my Schnoodle dog, Snickerdoodle (aka Snickers). She gave a lot of attention to her by taking her out for a walk during breaks from work, bringing her to different dog parks, and giving her countless cuddles. While my family and I were away on vacations, she kept us updated on Snickers with photos. We were elated knowing that our dog who had separation anxiety was in good hands. My family and I couldn't ask for any better pet caregiver than Maribeth. We were blessed to have her in our lives, and we still wish she lives closer to us.”

She has even taken them to appointments when I was unable to. She treats every animal as if they were her own.

Westley-Morgan T.
“Wes is a really good friend of mine. He’s also the uncle to my dog Onyx. I am going to school to become a veterinary technician. I met Onyx on my internship. Wes was the first person I told about him. I knew that when I saw Onyx I loved him but I was so mad. He’d been shot and had to be rescued because they were going to kill him at the shelter over his leg. I helped with doing his X-rays with Cassidy who rescued him. He still had the sweetest smile after everything that had happened to him. I knew we had to do everything to care for him but that included having to amputate his leg. How could anyone hurt this sweet boy? Why would anyone try to hurt a puppy? Months later Onyx is now running through parks and greets everyone with a smile, he loves to eat, and passes out from food comas.He has that same goofy smile for belly rubs and out the window of my car. Wes has for years been a trainer and caretaker of animals. He’s worked in daycares, trained dogs as well as service animals. He’s a lover of all animals no matter big or small and is well aware of how much you and I care about our furry friends. He’s the first person I ask for help to care for Onyx. He’s had years of experience taking care of dogs in daycares and caring for his own fur babies. He’s a gentle hand and genuine passionate reliable person. He was a huge support during Onyx’s recovery just by being kind and now he’s having conferences with Onyx about how he feels about dinner. That’s just a part of who Wes is. Uncle Westifer the first one to get on the ground to play and Onyx is having a blast, 3 legs and all goofy. He’s the first person who I know will take care of Onyx if something would happen. He will just send updates of Onyx’s cute face to checks in and I know he’ll be a phone call away even from across the country. So I know Onyx is being taken cared of and having a blast with someone I trust who will take care and love him just as much as I do.”
