“Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.”
“Sara did an amazing job making our Marshall feel welcome. She was professional and always kept us updated on how he was doing and really enjoyed receiving pictures and videos of him interact with the other dogs. She has a great location and is an awesome spot if you’re visiting Sodus point and need to board.”
“Samantha was awesome! She shared pictures everyday and really gave TLC to our anxious old dog. You can really tell she loves animals. Will be using her again in the future for sure.”
“Kate was very communicative and did amazing with our puppy! She was very kind and sent many Photos throughout the stay making sure I felt comfortable! I would definately have her dog sit again and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.”
“My Bella and I absolutely love Kimberly. It is so comforting that when we get to Kimberly's, Bella runs over and goes right into her home. Kimberly sends me pictures and compliments about my Bella....it makes my heart smile. THANK YOU to Kimberly for making me feel like my Bella's at her home away from home.”
“My Henry LOVED her time with Sara (& Frank)! She misses them so much, the drive back to San Antonio was filled with ennui and long sighs on her behalf. I anticipate requesting their services every time we're in their neck of the woods. Sara knows how to manage and love other people's pets as if they were her own, and Henry feels so much better after her vacation.”
“This was the first time leaving Nellie (12 yr old female) with any one but family. One week before our 2 week trip, we were left with no one to watch Nellie. We found Amy on Rover and she seemed like a good fit right away. We set up a meet and greet with Nellie and Amy and it went well, and we felt comfortable enough to leave Nellie with her and her family. The most important attribute that Amy had that was important to us was her comfort in administering lots of meds to a very resistant Nellie. Amy had her way and it worked perfectly with Nellie. Amy sent daily pictures or videos that meant so much to us, thank you! It is nice knowing that if we need to board Nellie again that we have our perfect fit with Amy.”
“My dog always has a good time at Leslie's house, and Leslie takes great care of her. She also sends cute photos every day, which really helps when you miss your pup!”
“Jeff was wonderful with Topher. He's got a very calm demeanor and seems to understand dogs very well. He watched him for several days and nights for us and kept us updated regularly.”
“Carol is wonderful!!Excellent care for our minature schnauzer . We received a picture with a note everyday . We called to check if she had any questions and she was very receptive and kind. Very safe clean environment . Beautiful back yard for walks . Carol is very knowledgeable about dogs!! Highly recommend !!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up, I was always around dogs and cats, and over the years my children have also owned numerous dogs and cats, giving me extensive hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like family. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, feeding, administering basic care, or simply making sure a pet feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away, I take pride in providing compassionate and dependable care. After retiring from a nursing career of more than 40 years, I now have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy traveling, but I have plenty of availability to provide dependable pet care and can often accommodate pet owners’ scheduling needs. My experience in nursing taught me responsibility, attention to detail, patience, and compassion qualities that I bring to caring for every pet. Whether your pet needs regular visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I have the time and dedication to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets and work to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect, providing companionship, walks, feeding, potty breaks, and any other requested care. When pets stay in my home, they are welcomed into a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they receive supervision, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax and play. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind.
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”

“Meghan did a fantastic job. She came by to meet my two cats before I left for my trip. She was really friendly and sweet to my cats. She came each day and took great care of them and sent me meaningful updates letting me know about her visits. When I got home the place was just how I had left it. It was a relief to know she was here for my cats while I was gone. I couldn't have asked for anything more. My only complaint is that im pretty sure my cats were dissapointed when I got home and it wasn't Meghan!”
About: I attended animal science school for a year, where I learned about different dog breeds, grooming, behavior, and training techniques.

I work weekdays from 8 AM–4 PM, so pet care fits best into my mornings, evenings, nights, and weekends. My schedule is very flexible though! I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, overnight care, and lots of attention before and after work, and I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible.

“I would recommend Carla H. in a heartbeat! She is responsible, very trustworthy, does exactly what she says she will do when she says she will, and more importantly, is very caring.

“Casey was amazing with my Pup Blaze and my Fluffy Cat Drishti. She has been here for a drop in/walk and has stayed overnight with them as well. I came home to a dog that I think was missing her and her husband and wasn't as thrilled to see me as he usually is. They had a great time and he has warmed up to me again. I will not hesitate to ever reach out to them for any additional help in the future and they would always be welcome in my home again.”
“Rachel was professional, kind, and caring to our cat over the course of a week and a half. She skillfully administered his medication on the days he needed it, and went above and beyond to play with him, cuddle with him, snap photos, and get him fed and taken care of, all in a couple of visits each day. She consistently communicated with us, and delivered reports of her time with our cat after each visit. We highly recommend her to any and all pet owners!”

“Heather was super sweet, understanding and very responsive! She understood my circumstances for needing my kitty Poptart watched and had no complaints with how last minute my request was. When there was an interference with the pickup time, she was completely understanding and didn’t charge extra. I even told her about Poptart’s disliking of other cats, and she kept her in a room separate from her own and even offered to introduce my cat to hers to get her more accustomed to being around other cats in the future. Overall, she was a wonderful sitter and I’ll definitely consider her again in the future!”
About: I have had cats in my life since I was a child. I have worked with all kinds of cats from skittish to extremely friendly, as well as those with behavioral issues. With cats, I take getting to know them slowly, lots of treats and playtime opportunities. If your cat isn't a snuggly type, that is okay, we all have our own boundaries. I would be ecstatic to assist you with your cat-related needs!

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!

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.

About: I’ve owned and cared for many types of animals throughout my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, small animals, some birds and reptiles. I am my family’s and neighbors go-to pet sitter. I am looking forward to taking care of your loved pet as well! As a full time caregiver, my schedule can be flexible to fit your specific pet sitting needs. I have a 3 year old Shepard/ Husky mix and a cat that likes to keep to himself. I'd love to stick to your routine as much as possible. If boarding with me, it is important all animals get along and are kid friendly. Please provide any toys/blankets that may help comfort your pup while they stay. Outside time can be on a leash in the backyard, a troll down the sidewalk, or a trip to the park.

About: I have taken care of small and large breeds of dogs since the young age of seven. As soon as I was able to as an adult I rescued a dog and a cat because no home is complete without the pitter-patter of furry feet. My pets are more than pets, they're family, and yours will be treated just the same when they're in my care. I am currently working part time at the library two doors down from my home so have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. I have a beagle/poodle mix that is two years old that loves to have friends to play with. He sleeps in the bed, but if you prefer your doggie to be crated I can do that too. I also have a 9 year old cat that thinks she's the mommy of the house. She is always cuddling the dog and bathing him.

About: I have 10 years of experience in the pet industry from Dog Walking & Pet sitting to grooming, retail and pet nutrition. Dogs are my life long love. I currently share my home with my 3 year old golden retriever, my 7 year old daughter and my husband. Besides clients’ dogs and cats, I have taken care of many friends and family members’ pets as well over the years. Taking care of dogs and cats are my true therapy. I love to take walks with the pups, trips to the parks, and do yard romps; enrichment toys & activities. I am currently a stay at home mom. I am available for midday walks and drop in visits for your fur babies. During those visits we can manage a long walk, or a yard romp, all depending on your dog's needs. Pups that stay with me have to be friendly with children and other dogs. Please contact me in advance for boarding as I like to set up a free Meet & Great visit so your pup and I can get to know each other as well as my other family members. Unfortunately I am not able to board aggressive or reactive dogs.
“Elliot and Dominque are wonderful! I’ve used them for daycare a couple of times to get my pup comfortable there before an upcoming trip next month. I know he’ll be in good hands. I very much appreciate their professionalism and frequent communication/updates!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past four years. I have two of my own. I volunteered when living in NY to help rescues and did foster as well. I work three days a week as a nurse.

We visit dog parks almost daily. Multiple potty and nap breaks!
“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”
About: I always loved having pets growing up. I grew up in the country so we had a lot of space for animals to be able to run around and be outside. Dogs, cats, birds...practically every creature you can imagine. Currently I have a cat of my own, and a friend’s dog who I watch fairly regularly. It works out well because I’m a very active person who likes to get outside as much as possible—hiking when the weather permits and bringing him along with me. This is in part due to my ever-changing, flexible schedule. I have a few set shifts during the week, but for the most part I make my own hours and I have time to be available pretty much whenever I am needed!

About: I have owned Dogs all my life. I believe that immediate recall is the most important tool for all Dog owners. I also believe in challenging Dogs brains with games like find it hide and seek. A tired Dog at the end of each day is a happy Dog. I exercise my Dog every day. I have a Doberman she is the start and end to my Day. With high energy Dogs they need lots of body and mind stimulation to maintain a healthy Dog . I treat each Dog as if they were my own. Well trained well exercised and most importantly immediate recall. If your Dog doesn’t have immediate recall when I meet them. They will the first time I watch them. To me that is the most significant training tool for every Dog owners including myself.

“Remi is an anxious dog, but after this boarding experience, I noticed a big difference. He was much calmer when I picked him up, and it did not take him days to de stress like usual. When we arrived, Kimberly greeted us outside with her dog, who is extremely friendly and calm. Even though Remi was on a leash, he handled the interaction well, which honestly surprised me. Throughout Remi’s stay, Kimberly sent pictures and regular updates. She played fetch with him, which is one of his favorite activities (other than eating). By the time he came home, he was happily exhausted. We are so glad we found Kimberly and highly recommend her. She is someone we will definitely continue to return to.”
“Sara did an amazing job making our Marshall feel welcome. She was professional and always kept us updated on how he was doing and really enjoyed receiving pictures and videos of him interact with the other dogs. She has a great location and is an awesome spot if you’re visiting Sodus point and need to board.”
“Samantha was awesome! She shared pictures everyday and really gave TLC to our anxious old dog. You can really tell she loves animals. Will be using her again in the future for sure.”
“Kate was very communicative and did amazing with our puppy! She was very kind and sent many Photos throughout the stay making sure I felt comfortable! I would definately have her dog sit again and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.”
“My Henry LOVED her time with Sara (& Frank)! She misses them so much, the drive back to San Antonio was filled with ennui and long sighs on her behalf. I anticipate requesting their services every time we're in their neck of the woods. Sara knows how to manage and love other people's pets as if they were her own, and Henry feels so much better after her vacation.”
“This was the first time leaving Nellie (12 yr old female) with any one but family. One week before our 2 week trip, we were left with no one to watch Nellie. We found Amy on Rover and she seemed like a good fit right away. We set up a meet and greet with Nellie and Amy and it went well, and we felt comfortable enough to leave Nellie with her and her family. The most important attribute that Amy had that was important to us was her comfort in administering lots of meds to a very resistant Nellie. Amy had her way and it worked perfectly with Nellie. Amy sent daily pictures or videos that meant so much to us, thank you! It is nice knowing that if we need to board Nellie again that we have our perfect fit with Amy.”
“Jeff was wonderful with Topher. He's got a very calm demeanor and seems to understand dogs very well. He watched him for several days and nights for us and kept us updated regularly.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up, I was always around dogs and cats, and over the years my children have also owned numerous dogs and cats, giving me extensive hands-on experience with pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet like family. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s providing exercise, companionship, feeding, administering basic care, or simply making sure a pet feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away, I take pride in providing compassionate and dependable care. After retiring from a nursing career of more than 40 years, I now have a very flexible schedule. I enjoy traveling, but I have plenty of availability to provide dependable pet care and can often accommodate pet owners’ scheduling needs. My experience in nursing taught me responsibility, attention to detail, patience, and compassion qualities that I bring to caring for every pet. Whether your pet needs regular visits, overnight care, or extra attention, I have the time and dedication to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether in my home or in the client’s home. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I understand how important consistency is for pets and work to keep their daily routine as close to normal as possible while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect, providing companionship, walks, feeding, potty breaks, and any other requested care. When pets stay in my home, they are welcomed into a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they receive supervision, affection, and plenty of opportunities to relax and play. My goal is always to make pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind.
“Thomas was wonderful with our airedale terrier. He sent pictures and updates about their adventures. Our dog has food allergies and Thomas was able to make sure he did not come into contact with them. We will look forward to hiring him in the future.”
“David was everything we could ask for in a sitter, from initial contact all the way through to pick-up. We especially appreciate how communicative he was, quickly responding to our initial request, arranging a meet-and-greet, and then providing steady updates throughout Teddy's (9yo Pomeranian) stay. Upon meeting, David gave us the confidence that our small dog's safety and comfort was a priority, patiently listening to our lengthy and exhaustive introduction while Teddy made himself right at home. When we returned, Teddy settled right in and all of the pictures and videos during his stay were of a happy, contented creature in excellent hands. We look forward to future visits, and think Teddy will be just as glad to return!”
“Cara and Dan were wonderful to work with. Sadie is a rescue and can be very skittish so I was delighted that she was so comfortable at their house. She warmed up to Cara more than Dan but I really liked both of them very much and would book again! Thanks Cara and Dan for providing a safe and caring environment for Miss Sadie🐶”
About: Like many others, I am a dog lover and was raised taking care of family dogs. Unlike others, that passion led to training and classes, competing in dog sports, and now, competing in dog shows. I have experience with many breeds of all sizes, senior pet care, reactive dog care and training. I would love to help you with your pet care needs! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate most dogs’ needs. I currently have open availability for boarding, daycare, walks, and drop in visits. Dogs are treated like one of my own! I take your dog out for leashed potty breaks several times a day, according to their needs. While I am working, your dog can settle on the couch or one of the many dog beds, or relax and play with my dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Foxhound). If your dog likes the crate, I have an extra for them. When I run errands, your dog will be crated or gated in a separate room from my dogs for safety. I live on 4 acres next and next to a cemetery, so I can take your dog for relaxing walks in a peaceful environment.
“Great property for dogs and a welcome home. I have a Vizsla, which means he’s full of energy and attention seeking. He had plenty of room to run and was shown the care and love he needed. I will definitely use Dixie again in the future.”
