Pet Sitting Upper Falls

“My cat loves Steffen, and he brought over toys for him to try and keep which was very thoughtful. The apartment was very clean when I got back. He also went above and beyond with helping me with a perishable package that came while I was gone.”

“Alyssa was great for Marm. She took pictures to assure us all was well. It gave us great peace of mind to know he was being cared for!”

About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.

“It was really nice to enjoy our vacation knowing David was super reliable and our dogs would get their walks everyday - lessened the guilt of leaving them almost completely! Thank you!”

“She was fantastic with my cats and at working with me when my flight got cancelled. She went above and beyond even what we requested and my kitties loved her :) 12/10 would recommend”

“Rachel is wonderful with our new rescue puppy. She came at the perfect time and gave Riley lots of love. I definitely recommend her and plan to hire her again!”

“Joseph was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of my cats and was super accommodating to their needs (one is really shy and he made sure to lay eyes on her and know she was okay, even if she didn't come out.) Super highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog as well as other owners’s dog. People I know around me are willing to trust me with their dogs. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time after 2pm. I can also come in later of the day if there’s any needs. I lived in a pet-friendly apartment with an explicit pet park built inside the apartments. I had experience walking a grown German Shepard so I can crate vast majority of dogs.

“We had a wonderful experience with Ray whom we used to walk our beloved dog each day for a week while we were on vacation. She precisely followed our instructions, communicated with us each day,and sent pictures to us for each walk. We found to be conscientious and trustworthy and certainly will rebook with her as needed”

“Katherine is reliable and conscientious. Was here on time and picked up any poop. My dog waited by the door for her to come play with her and go for a walk.”

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 4 years old, and recently rescued a dog of my own. I began training and caring for her myself starting when she was 9 weeks old. I am very comfortable around dogs no matter what size. I have experience I with positive reinforcement training for puppies as well. I employed full time but my schedule varies based on the day. My weekends are usually very open, allowing me to provide services at almost any time on Saturdays and Sundays! I value positive reinforcement for dogs and will always put the safety and health of your dog first. I will care for the needs of your dog and make sure they are comfortable and happy.

“Joey is amazing with all my animals. My Cane Corso takes special introducing and not everyone I introduce him to takes the job. He liked Joey from the first day. I actually have a little farmstead with several types of animals, including a horse, a goat, an emu, over 50 chickens and other types of fowl. I even feed some of the wildlife! Joey does all of it. I get great pics and I'm always so happy with the detailed list he leaves of all the chores and extras that he does. He even remembers things that I forget to mention sometimes! Number one call for me all the time is Joey. Besides, he gave me a very reasonable farmstead rate. I highly recommend this sitter, especially if you have animals not listed on Rover!”

“Heather was the BEST with our senior dog and understood how much our chewy is loved and not just our dog but family, I would 100% recommend her and use her in the future. THANK YOU beyond a million Heather ….”

About: I grew up with a great dane, and then my family adopted 3 dogs of different sizes after that. I’ve been surrounded by, and taken care of dogs my entire life growing up in Rochester. I have worked for local dog daycare and boarding facilities as well. My location provides a good place to socialize with other dogs as well if needed, just minutes from several parks and open land. A fIexible schedule allows me to work with people to meet their specific needs, and take the necessary time to be thorough. I enjoy the process of working with dogs and understanding their personality. I use positive reinforcement techniques to reward behavior and maximize dog comfort. I currently work afternoons, and am a night owl. I spend my mornings drinking coffee or walking dogs, and evenings helping friends with pet care who work late nights in health care, law enforcement, etc. While I cannot board dogs overnight in my apartment building, I have experience boarding within owners homes. I know the stress of finding a private care provider, and offer meet and greet beforehand to make sure pet parents feel at ease. I also provide normal drop in walking/care while owner is away.

About: I have experience caring for my own small dog and regularly pet sit my sister-in-law’s dog, so I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities. I focus on making pets feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with small dogs and calm routines. I aim to keep every visit positive and stress-free. I’m also responsible and communicative, and I treat every pet with the same care I give my own 🤍 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule during the day, which allows me to be consistent and attentive with each visit or walk. I’m currently available in the mornings and afternoons, as well as early evenings on some days. On the days I have classes, I’m available until the afternoon, so I always make sure to plan visits responsibly and on time. I enjoy creating a calm and reliable routine for the pets I care for, and I like to take my time with each visit to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for 🤍 I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. While I’m newer to client homes, I have experience with my own dog and regularly pet sitting my sister-in-law’s dog, making me attentive and responsible. I follow each dog’s routine closely and respect all home instructions. During walks, I stay alert and focused on your dog’s safety and comfort, and I communicate clearly so you feel reassured 🤍

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and no two are the same. It’s my priority to care for your pet’s specific needs to ensure their comfort❤️ I mostly work evenings so I’m best suited for morning and afternoon walks. For house sitting, same availability applies but I can accommodate nightly check ins. It’s essential to me that your pet feels comfortable! It can be stressful for them to away from you so I’ll do my best to keep their routines in their home environment.

“Guinness loved Isabelle! Thank you for caring for her!”

About: I have taken care of various dog breeds throughout my life. I have experience taking care of 6-8 puppies at the same time; walking dogs as small as Pomeranians and as big as huskies and golden retrievers I currently work remotely and my schedule is flexible. i have plenty of time to schedule pet sitting, pet walking and more. I’m available for same day calls I am flexible and can adapt to any type of pet care is necessary. All depends on the requirements that the client asks and I will respect them and execute safely and responsibly for the dog.

About: Have a puppy? I’m well-versed in puppy pee pads and the fun game of find the poop. Have an older dog? A slow meander or a quick circle around the yard and sit on the front porch are just as enjoyable as a fast paced walk. How about a bully breed? I’m used to the house hippo slamming into you when you enter the door. We have one of our own. Ever had your knees taken out from under you because a chimpmunk ran by? I have. Ever wrestle a house hippo afraid of water into a tub? Yup. That’s me. Bad listener? We’ve got one of those. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. …and, yes, I always pick up the poo 🤓 I work from home with flexible hours, so I’m available during the days, in the evenings, and over the weekends. I am only able to take kid and pet friendly pets into my home, but am able to get to yours. It all depends on a pet’s need and the owner’s preferences. if they need exercise during the day or in the evenings we can take walks or play outside. If there is a mess, you can trust I’ll clean it up. Poop? I got it. Outside playtime? Absolutely. I can stop by once or several times a day depending on your pet’s needs.

“Melaney was great! Her communication is fantastic and cares about your little floof with so much care and attention! My little floof was so happy to see her and got the love and playtime he needed!”
