House Sitting in Strong, Rochester, NY

“Alyssa was amazing. She was kind, communicative and so so so great and communicative. I was stressed to part with Channing; but Alyssa was so wonderful and let me ramble on and on until I was ready to leave. She sent plenty of updates to ease my stress. Would highly recommend! Thank you thank you again!”

“We had an absolutely fabulous first experience with Ona staying in our home and watching our kitty Mira while we were in Bermuda for two weeks. What a great communicator!! And she was so willing to do all kinds of extras that come with a large home and land—including putting out corn for our wildlife friends and making sure our gardens didn’t wilt in the unexpected heat wave. Our kitty absolutely adored her, and she wants us to go away again soon so that she can snuggle and play with Ona again :) Thank you for everything, Ona. It was a joy to have you watching over our home.”

“Portia did a wonderful job watching all our animals. From the moment we first met her we felt reassured. Portia was quick to respond to messages while we were away and sent lots of pictures of all the animals. I never worried about their well-being while away, which made our vacation more enjoyable. Portia left the house in great shape and all the animals seem quite content. Portia even stayed beyond the original end time when our flight got delayed. We are completely satisfied and would 100% use Portia again.”

“Very reliable, friendly and communicative. Took the time to get to know our pets and helped us out when we greatly needed it. Will use again and highly recommend”

“Sophia took great care of my dog, Tate, while we were out of town for the weekend. She updated us regularly and sent pictures of him each day. I definitely recommend Sophia!”

“Catarah sit my Yorkie puppy (at my house for 4 days). She was attentive and communicated throughout the whole time. She was so kind and arrived on time. I left out of state and she was always sending updates of my dog. She treated my dog well and provided my dog attention. I will 100% rebook! I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Morgan took exception care of my senior Pug, Hazel. She sent photos, videos, and updates daily while I was out of town, and I could see how much Hazel enjoyed her time with Morgan!”

“We just got back from our weekend away and I think our dog wishes Hayley were still here! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup and went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for all weekend. Hayley provided us with regular pictures and updates and our house looked like no one was here, even though she stayed all weekend. We truly appreciate Hayley staying with our guy and will plan on using her again in the future!”

“Paul did a great job keeping us updated and we got so many great pictures of Winston enjoying his time with Paul!”

“Abigail was so awesome! She really took the time to understand my two high energy dogs and adjust to their needs. She was easy to communicate with and the dogs loved her. She made sure to meet not only their basic needs but made sure they had plenty of walks, exercise, and play.”

“I'm so thankful that John was able to care for my dog, especially during the holidays! John was very respectful and kind; trying to maintain my dog's daily routine while we were away. My dog can also be a bit difficult in warming up to strangers and with other dogs, but John was great at understanding and working with Wally's behavior. Would recommend John's services at any time!”

“I’ve known Marina for her whole life. She’s always had a way with animals. She has taken care of our Poppi countless times and will be the first person I ask. I’m grateful to have someone I trust available to help me.”

“Anika came to dog sit our two dogs (one adult and one puppy). She was so lovely and sweet - our dogs loved her. She was on time and provided photos throughout the day. We are very grateful to have found a trustworthy sitter!”

“Abby was amazing with my pup Blaze and my cat Drishti! I had a scenario where I ended up needing her a little longer than originally planned and she was able to extend her stay for me. I got plenty of updates and Abby had many adventures with my best friend. She is at the top of my list for when I need help in the future. Blaze already misses you. Thanks again Abby!!!”

“Short notice trip. Regular sitter was on vacation. Found Emily on Rover. Phone interview followed by meeting at the house to introduce dogs. Emily was PHENOMENAL. Constant updates and photos. She's a keeper!”

“Venus is great with my dogs! She’s always been super reliable, helpful and respectful. She’s taken care of my Pomeranian and my Great Dane for the past couple of years and has always given them her full attention and love. She has sent me the most hilarious pictures of my babies whenever I’m out of town. I recommend her to anyone who has pets.”

“Jerry did a good job with Chloe! He stayed at my home for almost 2 weeks watching my dog. It was so nice to come home to my pup and the home basically as left it. Jerry was so easy to work with and very responsive.”

About: I absolutely love caring for animals and I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I am experienced in monitoring behavior in a variety of species to ensure that they remain happy and healthy during our time together. I have a lifetime of experience working with a variety of animals. I am currently mom to two cats and two ferrets, and have previously owned dogs and hamsters. I am experienced assisting in the care of rats, dogs (and puppies), tarantulas, freshwater fish. I am currently employed as a science educator where I have been professionally trained to work with a variety of amphibians, insects, arthropods, and small mammals. I currently work part time and my schedule varies weekly, but my availability should always be up to date on Rover. I am available for drop in visits, walks (not just for dogs!), and overnight sitting. I am unable to board cats and dogs in my house due to a shared living situation and the 5 free roaming pets we already have, but I can accommodate some caged pets in my home. I will always do my best to work with pet parents to find arrangement that works best for your pet care needs. For overnight sitting I provide check-ins and walks in the mornings and evenings, as well as throughout the day. I am available to sleepover for shorter stays but am unable to do so for many nights in a row, so please make sure to clarify your pet's needs.

“Stacey is fantastic with animals. The amount of love that she gives as well as attention to your pets needs will guarantee that there are no issues. Everytime ive left my dog with her I come back and he is exhausted from play and happy as a clam.”

“Julianna was awesome taking care of our 2 goldens for several nights. They are known to pull on walks and she handled it like a champ! She sent updates and pictures; we felt really comfortable leaving them in good hands! The house was also super clean when we came home! We will definitely be using her again! Lovely human.”
