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.

I take time to talk with clients and learn anything I can to help keep a peace of mind for them while they're away from their babies.

About: I’m an active adventurous person ready to play with the dogs or take them on walks. I have helped family, friends and neighbors watch their dogs, whether it be just a check in or a week at a time! I work as a phlebotomist in my other times, help family and create crafts for my page! Seeing as I have a cat of my own, I make sure to put her into my daily schedule and make time for her to play with her and her as well as make sure her litter stays clean and her food and water bowl stay full! My cat is an indoor cat. Although she is aloof, she still loves to come cuddle and I always make sure that her food and water bowls are full, her litter is clean and her medicine is taken

“Sierra was fantastic! She provided excellent communication throughout and truly went above and beyond in caring for our dog. It was clear how much she genuinely cares, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such great hands. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: In high school, I volunteered at my local humane society as a cat socializer and a dog walker. I am trained to walk dogs that may be a little more difficult to handle than others and I am great at socializing any breed of animal. I’m currently working full time, but I am available on weekends! Check my availability to see what best suits you and your furry friend's schedule! I care for my clients pets in their homes depending on the client and their pets needs. I pride myself on keeping a clean and sanitary environment and making sure your furry friend is safe and comfortable at all times.

About: Taking care of your pet’s needs on the spot is what I strive to be known for! I’m reliable, responsible, and ready to meet your pet’s unique needs. 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. No dog is too big or too small, no cat too feisty or shy—I’ve handled them all! Whether you’re busy, out of town, working late, or just need a break, consider choose me to keep your pets happy and cared for! I currently work for a well known factory in Saint Joseph MO, during the weekdays I work 5am-3:30pm I’m available anytime after that and pretty much all day on the weekends! I have a fenced in yard and a 4 dog wooden kennel for my 2 dogs! They both have their own gravity feeder and one big gravity water bowl, they each get a dental stick and a treat every morning before I leave for work. Both of my pups are trained to hand signals and very rarely do I have to use my voice, they sleep on the bed with me and have large anti chew beds in there kennel for when no one is home. I don’t offer in home pet care as of now but knowing how my dogs live should help with the peace of mind for your pets!

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!”

About: I’ve had pets all my life, I take care of them/ play with them, and Ive pet sit many pets starting at 12 yrs old. I personally have 3 dogs and 3 cats too. I love all animals, no matter what pet, size, breed, age and I’m currently majoring in pre-vet medicine to become a veterinarian at my college. I can do anything you require like play with them, let them out, walks, runs, bathe/groom them, cut their nails, feed them, or anything that might come to your mind. I’ve personally worked at a animal daycare for a year before I went to college and so I’ve had experience professionally too. Currently on off season as a college soccer player so I have more free time to take care of your pets/play with them. I love to spend time with animals and love on them especially if they are stuck in their cages all day. I could stop by anytime usually if you need to check on them, play with them, or take care of them. I’ll do anything that the client requires and make sure the animal is safe, happy, and comfortable in their home. I will check on them as much as possible if the client requires it, I will let them out as much as possible and take care of their health. I have a deep connection with animals and just want them to be safe, happy, and taken care of.

“Grace was wonderful! Our kitties loved her. She always sent updates. And went above and beyond to make sure even our outside kitties were fed.”
