“Jeffrey arrived on time, greeted Charlie and Charlie responded positively to him. He provided pictures of their walk and commentary of the experience. Charlie was happy and comfortable with Jeffrey and was happy to see him the next time we booked. Highly recommend.”
“Stephanie did a great job! As soon as she came in she knew how to handle my high energy Ginger. She was sweet with her, but also knew how to kindly correct her when she was over excited and calmed her down.”


About: Most of my animal experience lies with horses, BUT I also have prior experience working at an animal hospital that provided boarding services! I primarily took care of boarders and occasionally assisted staff with handling and restraining patients for treatment. I handled scheduled play times, feedings, potty breaks, patient check-ins, etc. I have hands on experience with giving oral medications to dogs and cats, some experience in reptile care as well. As long as there's a detailed note to follow, I can get it done. I am very cautious and take my job as an animal caretaker very seriously. As a horse and cat owner, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your fur-family in the care of someone else! I will always make sure to do the best I can to leave your fur-babies safe, happy, and comfortable. I'm currently working Saturday-Monday 7-7 so my schedule stays pretty flexible on my days off (Tuesday-Friday). Tuesdays I can offer limited availability (7am-1:30pm) Wednesday-Friday I can make just about anything work as long as it leaves time during the day to visit my horse :) Any time I'm caring for a family dog or any pet, I'll freshen their water, make sure they've been fed (and that they ate all their food) and that their behavior is normal. If I Iet them out to use the bathroom I'll keep an eye out to make sure everything looks normal and healthy and that they're not acting unwell. If they're interested, we'll play a little bit before I leave. Same routine for cats, except instead of taking them out to go potty I'll clean their litter box.
About: I have been house and pet sitting for friends and family for years now, and honestly it is my favorite vacation! Animals deserve all the love! College student by day, per diem patient care technician by night. It may sound busy, but the time your pet needs, I can attempt to deliver! In house pet sitting is my forte! I enjoy a morning to night routine with pets that ensures their quality care and happiness. To be transparent, I need to be away for maximum 3 hours for classes (M,T,TH,F), but I assure you that that is the most time they will spend alone!

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I have been on Rover for several years and am starting up my business again. I LOVE being outdoors and am always happy to take dogs on walks, to the park, or even spend time by the lake. I have a 6-year-old chihuahua mix named Ghost, who I fostered before adopting. I completely understand how to support dogs who may be a little “sassy” and just need extra patience and love...because trust me, chihuahua's have BIG personalities! Ghost also has Addison’s Disease, which has given me several years of experience managing daily medications and have been trained by my veterinarian on how to administer his monthly injections. I’m confident and comfortable caring for pets with medical or special needs. I’m also a volunteer with Happy Tails (Ontario County Humane Society), where I continue to deepen my commitment to animal care. In addition to dogs, I have a cat of my own and am happy to care for cats too, whether that’s feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, or just providing plenty of snuggles. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule and can work around your schedule! I’m happy to stop by whenever is convenient for you. I prefer at least a day notice in advance if possible. I will follow whatever instructions you provide. Does your pup need a walk? Does he/she need to play fetch in the backyard? Or does he/she just need cuddles? I’m happy to provide multiple levels of care because I care about your pup!
About: I have owned and cared for horses, dogs, and cats for 17 years.

I follow your instructions and make sure your dog or cat has everything they need. I make sure to spend some time with them so that when you’re away, they still get some love, attention, and pets.
About: Our family loves animals. It’s evident when you drive up to our house and see the goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. We have lots of experience with lots of animals, at all stages of life and with administering medications. Now that the kids are all in school. I have extra time to spend with my 4 legged babies and yours. We enjoy hiking, long and/or short walks around Canandaigua. I am a responsible and respectful professional. I will take care of your pet and home as if it were my own. I want to earn your trust and loyalty.
About: As a fur Momma myself to two dogs, I know how important it is to find a trustworthy sitter/dog walker. I have had dogs all my life. I went to Alfred State College and gained experience in veterinary technology and agriculture. I have worked as an animal care assistant in a veterinary hospital for six years. I then became the Animal Care Assistant Supervisor. I helped take care of all kinds of animals that came into the office. Big, little, young, old...dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. I am very comfortable giving oral or injectable medications. I am a level 3 fear free certified professional. I know the signs of fear and anxiety in both cats and dogs. I am skilled and have techniques to help your pet during times of stress and anxiety. I can even give you some tips and tricks to try at home! I'm currently a stay at home mom of two young kids so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby or fur babies.

I have over 12 years of experience caring for various animals including bunnies, bearded dragons, dogs, cats, and fish. My specialty is caring for dogs and cats including those that are needing medicine (by injection or pill), are seniors, or have special needs. I am also a frequent petsitter for foster dogs so I have lots of experience with dogs that have emotional and behavioral issues and the patience and care it takes while they learn what it means to be loved again.
