“My pup loves Eloisa! I’m very grateful to have her, she even called me when I had a house emergency and went the extra mile to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend!”

About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, I bring a deep personal commitment to every pet I care for. When I come to care for, play with, and walk your dogs I'll dedicate my time to really getting to know them and their preferences. I have shared my home with several senior pets over the years and understand the specialized attention they require. Elderly animals hold a special place in my heart, and I am especially attuned to their comfort, routines, and medical needs. I have three pets - a spunky, energetic Chihuahua and two senior cats. Your pets will be cared for with the same thoughtfulness, reliability, and respect I give my own. I’m a professional photographer, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to be reliable and present when pet families need support. Running my own business has taught me the importance of communication, trust, and attention to detail. I’m also a parent to a teenager, so responsibility and consistency are a big part my everyday life. I value routine, patience, and creating a calm, steady environment, which is something pets truly benefit from. In my free time, you’ll often find me outdoors exploring nature with my camera, taking walks, or simply enjoying fresh air. I appreciate the simple joy animals bring to our lives and feel honored to care for them with the same thoughtfulness and respect I give my own. I know it can be hard on animals when their humans are away. Transitions can feel big for them. I move slowly, pay attention, and let trust build naturally so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re gone. My animals are the world to me. I love the everyday rhythms — the walks, the play, the brushing, the quiet moments on the couch. I lead with love and consistency, and I bring that same energy into your home. When I care for your pets, they’ll have plenty of playtime, walks tailored to their needs, and as much cuddle time as they’d like (or space, if that’s more their style). You can trust that I will respect your home, honor your routines, and care for your animals with the same attentiveness and affection I give my own.

About: Hi there! My name is Lené and I have loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember… starting way back in childhood. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds, from tiny pups to big, energetic dogs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like a job to me, it’s something I genuinely love and passionate about. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶💛 I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to work with you to meet your pet’s specific needs. I’m reliable and committed to making sure your pet is always well cared for and never rushed. When caring for your pet in your home (whether for house sitting or drop-in visits) my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, from meals and walks to playtime and cuddles, so they feel secure while you’re away. I treat your home with respect, keep doors and leashes secure, and give your pet attentive, loving care every visit. You can trust that your pet will be well cared for and that you’ll receive daily updates for your peace of mind.

Growing up on a farm, I’ve worked with animals of all kinds—from herding cows to catching field mice, I’ve nearly done it all! I’ve had the privilege of looking after dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, cows, llamas, squirrels, birds, raccoons, baby deer, all the way to reptiles and fish.

About: I have been a pet owner for my entire life: cats, dogs, goats, chickens, horses, you name it, we had it. I have also volunteered at a local animal shelter to walk and leash train dogs, as well as socialize with the cats. I currently own three cats myself which is why I don't board animals at my house. I miss the unconditional love of a dog which is why I chose to offer dog walking as well! I work as a Registered Nurse here in Rochester and find that working with animals helps recharge my compassion and social battery before my next shift. I work 3-4 days a week and like having the flexibility to pick up jobs through Rover when I am available. All three of my cats have their own special needs. I am comfortable giving medications to your pets if needed as well as brushing, bathing, going on walks, and of course giving lots of love and affection. I use a pet sitter myself when I am out of town and know how important it is to pawrents that their babies are safe. No matter the pet, big or small, I'm happy that you would trust me to care for them while you're away!
“Ame took such great care of my fur babies all week and sent me wonderful pictures that I will cherish. I highly recommend Ame - she is also a lovely person! Look no further for your next Rover-type needs!”

Very helpful and knowledgeable. She took care of our kitties for three days while we were gone. You could tell that they were very comfortable with her and that she enjoys going what she is asked to do. My wife left a detailed list with pictures and everything on how to take care our babies and it was followed to a T. Thank you for everything.
