“Samantha and her partner are just amazing! Took care of Kiwi’s very complex medical needs and even made sure she was comfortable walking with her arthritis by layout out rugs for her to walk on she she doesn’t slip. She even made her own chart to keep track of kiwis meds to make sure she never missed a dose. She’s amazing and will be our go to as long as we live in the area! Cant recommend enough!”
“Our sweet, shy and cuddly pup had a great stay with Crystal and her family! We could see from the updates she sent us that she was happy and having fun, and knowing she was safe and being loved made the separation easier. You can see easily that Crystal treats her charges as if they were her own when they are in her care. Thanks, and we will definitely utilize her again in the future.”
“Rochelle is the best dog carer you could possibly find. She is calm, patient, loving, and obviously experienced. She and her family welcomed my (energetic) 5 month old Golden Retriever, Lucky, into their home and took great care of him this weekend. I recommend her wholeheartedly Nancy Yurman”
“It is obvious that Samantha loves dogs and cares for her “guests” as much as she cares for her own dog. My 2 had a great weekend and I felt better knowing they were together and well-cared for. Sam sent regular photos of them too. I would book again!”
“Jeffery was exceptional in every way! He cared for my two pups like they were his own and they came home happy little dogs. When my plans changed and I had delayed flights, he was flexible and kept them for another night - no issue at all. The farm setting provided lots of stimulation for the pups and I’m sure they learned a lot in the process!”
“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!!”
“Winston's stay with Alara was fantastic! She is obviously knowledgeable about dogs and made Winston comfortable right away. She sent updates during his stay and took great care of him. He was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. We'll definitely be booking a stay again!”
“I recently adopted a bunny and we were going away on vacation for a few days… we needed someone who was able to watch my her while we were gone. We had a very nice meet and greet with Julia and she was very flexible with where my rabbit would stay, as well as how much space she could roam around in. She offered a whole room, that would be gated at the door, for my bunny. Since the meet and greet went so well, we booked her for the days we would be traveling. She made sure there was a carpet for my bun’s feet so she wouldn’t be on the hardwood floor. She put baby plugs in the outlets so my bunny couldn’t get to them. I felt very comfortable leaving my bunny with Julia and her family, they were all very kind. They even put a camera in the room so when they weren’t with my bunny, they could always keep an eye on her. My bunny seemed very comfortable and happy with the situation and adjusted very well because of Julia’s hospitality. Julia offered everything she could to make sure my bunny had an amazing stay. We will definitely be booking Julia again!!”
“Ivy is a very shy dog so we were very nervous to leave her for the first time. Carol was reassuring in her kind gentle voice that she’d be fine. She sent daily notes and pictures. When I went to pick her up Ivy actually hid behind Carol. Hurt my feelings, but I knew she had bonded with Carol which is exactly what you want in a care provider. So thanks again Carol for an awesome job!”
“Sierra was wonderful with our dogs! She sent us daily pictures and updates which was absolutely perfect especially since I sometimes forgot to ask! But in every picture or even the one video our dogs were having a blast, she was so professional and nice! Would definitely rebook!!”
“Lourdes was wonderful!! Our dog stayed with her for two weeks and she did everything for him to feel loved, cared and comfortable while we were away from him. Lourdes sent us many photos e videos everyday showing our dog playing outside, walking in the backyard and eating. Our dog couldn’t be in better hands than Lourdes. I totally recommend!!”
About: I have 4 years of veterinary care experience along with 2 years of pet boarding experience. I own and care for several of my own animals as well! I am currently available for afternoon visits and care on week days. I have full availability on the weekends for any needs! I can also do midday pop in’s depending on location! I have 1 very friendly dog who does amazing with other animals but if your pet isn’t a fan I always have another safe space for them. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard therefore your pet will always be leashed for their safety. I will ensure we do lots of walks and playing to get their exercise!
“Shawn was so helpful, calm, and caring. She put me at ease and was flexible. Belle loved being at home with Shawn and her family. I received updates, pics, and vids. I will definitely book with her again and am so grateful she was there for Belle and I in a pinch!”
“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.”
“This was the second time Sir Sparklepuff stayed with Kim, and he seems to adore spending time with her. Kim returned him not only happy and well-cared for, it freshly bathed and brushed, too! We will be sure he stays with her again soon.”
About: I've had pets in my life since the day I was born, and as a teen I spent several years working in an animal shelter, caring for animals and working with the health team. I'm experienced with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with behavioral challenges, and visually impaired and deaf animals. I've also cared for dogs with serious health needs like cancer and diabetes. I'm not a vet or vet tech, but I'm comfortable with basic care like changing a bandage, and I know how to respond in an emergency and reach the nearest emergency care. I've boarded dogs over 100 pounds, and they do great with my dog Leo, a 16 pound Jack Russell dachshund mix who has graduated from obedience and agility courses about five times. I also sit cats, birds, small critters, and reptiles. For dogs, I like to start with a neutral meet and greet, so I ask for two weeks notice, though I'm flexible in emergencies. If you'd like, I can also arrange grooming and specialized training as an additional service while your pet is in my care, provided through a licensed groomer and trainer. Your pet will be treated like family. I work from home, so I offer daytime care during work hours as well as overnight boarding while you travel. Your pet gets plenty of one-on-one time and extra TLC when needed. All pet care happens in my home on a quiet street in the Village of Manchester. I work remotely, so your pet is never left alone for long. Dogs get lots of one-on-one time, and I'm happy to send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I start with a neutral meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along with my dog Leo. I have a large backyard with natural tree lines and barriers, but safety comes first. Any dog in my care stays on a leash or tie out whenever they're outside, with no exceptions, even if a yard is fenced. I'm happy to take short walks into the yard, and if your pet prefers pet pads, I can provide those. Cats get a quiet room behind closed doors, separate from my own cats, and can stay in their crate, come out, or sit with me in my office. I know how to respond in an emergency and how to reach the nearest emergency care.

“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!”

“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”
“David did a great job. My cat has some health issues and I needed to have him boarded this time while I was away. David was able to work with my cat giving him the space and care he needed. He was responsive when I checked in and sent me plenty of pictures throughout the week. This was great peace of mind while I was away on my work trip. Allowing me to fully concentrate on what I needed to do. Thanks again David. I would definitely rebook in the future.”
“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.”
“She really seemed to have a good time with the cat. He was happy and healthy when we got home. Got pictures every day. He had clean water and plenty of water. Would definitely use her again”
“Amy's the best. So sweet and did a great job caring for our little Willy. She sent me several photos and was available last minute to take care of our little guy. He looks like he had a great time with Amy and I trust her to watch him any time. Thank you for all your help!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and have always loved caring for them and getting to know their individual personalities. Growing up with cats has given me years of hands-on experience understanding their routines, behaviors, and unique needs. I know that every cat is different—some are playful and social, while others prefer their independence and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable giving them the attention, care, and space they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, companionship, or simply someone to keep their routine while you’re away, I’m happy to provide it.
About: Some people say I’m obsessed with my dog and I would have to agree! I love all animals, dogs especially. I’ve had dogs my entire life and they have never been considered our pets they are apart of our family. Because dogs have been such a big part of my life, I have helped out running a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I have fostered multiple dogs and I grew up with 6 dogs! While I’m watching your pets I will treat and care for them the same way I would my own, with lots of love and attention. I have worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and with various personalities and temperaments. Separation anxiety, food aggression, possessiveness, jealously, you name it! I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets as I am working from home and have lots of free time. My schedule revolves around the dogs I’m watching. Depending on age and physical ability a typical day would look like: Typically I wake up around 7am and take your pets for a walk! After our walk we have breakfast (he’ll usually rest until 11:30/12) at that point we will go for another walk or play session for about an hour on my lunch break, after I am finished with work around 2:30/3 we go for a hike or to the dog park (depending on the dog), then we have dinner and get ready for bed! I give each and every animals the love and attention they deserve! If I am watching your pet you can be assured that they are getting the love and exercise they need. They will be spoiled with walks, hikes, play time, treats, and mentally stimulating toys such as kongs and lick mats!

“Sara set our minds at ease with her obvious compassion for our pet. The photos and video she sent us convinced us that Coco had found his new "Favorite Place". Thank you Sara, we look forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Amy is a top notch dog sitter who is kind and compassionate. She is our first experience with a dog sitter and I plan to use her services whenever possible. Her home is adorable and my dog had the very best time!”
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’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.
“This was our second booking with Jeffery, and it didn’t disappoint! Coco absolutely loved his stay, and we’re excited to be back for weekly daycare visits after Easter. Jeffery goes above and beyond with toys, activities, and care, keeping Coco happy, tired, and content. I feel so at ease knowing he is in such great hands. Highly recommend—Coco can’t wait to return! 🐾❤️”
“Samantha is wonderful. Booking was done last-minute, on a holiday, no less. Samantha was kind, responsible, on-time, and would have sent intormation about my dog every 20 minutes if I wanted it. Highly recommend.”
“Ellen and John were wonderful throughout the booking, hand off and pickup process. Dale seems to have had a fabulous time with them! He was immediately comfortable and walked right off without looking back at me. I got pictures of during the day of him enjoying time outside. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Kate gave excellent care to my two dogs for two days and was super friendly, communicative and responsive. My dogs loved the fenced backyard and were very relaxed when I dropped them off and very chill when I picked them up, so they were obviously happy to be with Kate and family. I highly recommend Kate for dog-care in the Canandaigua area!”
“We were visiting the Rochester area and needed someone to watch our labs for a couple hours - Kerrie was so flexible, responsive, and overall wonderful with our two very active and enthusiastic labs. If we’re ever in the area again, I know who we’ll be contacting if we need someone to watch our pups!”
About: We’re a loving family of five with three kids (ages 9, 9, and 13) and a genuine love for animals. Our home is relaxed and low-key, so your dog will have a calm, comfortable environment rather than a hectic or overly busy one. I work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be around throughout the day. That also means the dogs staying with us are rarely left alone and get lots of companionship, attention, and care. We frequently care for the dogs of family and friends and truly enjoy having a four-legged friend around the house. We love the companionship and joy that animals bring, and we’d be happy to give your pup a loving home away from home while you’re away. Our goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like part of the family. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to give the dogs plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. They’re rarely left alone, and I can easily accommodate regular meals, potty breaks, walks, and whatever routine helps them feel comfortable. We’re also an active family who enjoys being outside, so exercise and outdoor time are a natural part of our day. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, time in the yard, or simply hanging out outside with the family, your dog will have plenty of opportunities to get fresh air, exercise, and attention while they’re with us. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities! We have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time safely, and we live in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with kind neighbors. We are outside often and will always provide a space for exercise and fresh air! We keep a clean, organized, and well-maintained home so your dog has a comfortable and safe space to stay. We’re mindful about keeping clutter, food, and other potential hazards out of reach, and there’s no junk or unnecessary mess for curious pups to get into.
“Charlotte was amazing with my fluffy girl, Peach!! She was super communicative and took great pictures! Peach got along amazing with her pups and was an all-around great experience. Will definitely be booking with Charlotte again when I return to Geneva.”
About: Hi, I’m Megan! I work from home full-time, offering your pup constant companionship, flexible potty breaks, and total supervision. Because I have no other pets currently, my apartment is a quiet, distraction-free sanctuary where your dog gets 100% of my undivided attention. I have years of experience with all life stages—from high-energy puppies to delicate seniors. I am fully comfortable administering oral and topical medications and have a deep understanding of dog anxiety. I know how to provide the calm, predictable routine anxious pups need to feel safe. My Setup & Routine: • Exercise: I am located directly next to fantastic walking trails and a private dog park for plenty of outdoor fun. • Safety: Apartment living means your dog is always secure and supervised. • Comforts: Your pup is welcome on all furniture for endless snuggles. I treat every pup like my own. Reach out to ask questions or schedule a meet-and-greet!
“Omgosh what a great experience! Short notice meet and greet and then next day stay. Such obvious dog lovers and a welcoming home. Jackson’s big big and fills up a room and they let him. This was a situation where we needed help in a pinch but we will definitely be booking again. This was such a great first time Rover experience - thank you!!”

“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!”
“Karibian is exactly what I was looking for! She is extremely friendly, trustworthy, and dependable. Karibian keeps clear communication regarding walks and my dogs activity during! I especially appreciate her flexibility and attentiveness to my pets.

About: I have been walking dogs for over 10 years as neighbors had me walk their dogs when I was young. I house and dog sit for my family. I volunteered with a rescue for two years and currently foster for a rescue that I’ve been with for about 4-5 years. I work 8-5 every weekday. I’m good at giving animals space when i know they’re scared or nervous and really make sure I earn an animals trust. I have a beautiful 2 year old baby girl. There is a chance she would be with me for walks and drop ins depending on what day of the week it is. If your pet has any habits or preferences i would like to know them (how they’re fed, favorite toy, favorite place to be pet or scratched). I work full time but have a 10 month old pitty mix at home. I’m home by 5pm every day and leave between 8/9am depending on if I have my daughter or if she’s with her dad. I have a pup of my own we live in an apartment but we go on daily walks. We like using a harness over just a collar because we don’t want to risk him slipping out of it.
“Mariana was amazing with Apollo as always. She gave him the attention and care he needed and more. I love seeing how happy he is when he is with her. It gives me piece of mind knowing he is in good hands. She is very trustworthy and accommodating. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pets. She's a gem! ”

About: Some people say I’m obsessed with my dog and I would have to agree! I love all animals, dogs especially. I’ve had dogs my entire life and they have never been considered our pets they are apart of our family. Because dogs have been such a big part of my life, I have helped out running a doggy daycare and boarding facility. I have fostered multiple dogs and I grew up with 6 dogs! While I’m watching your pets I will treat and care for them the same way I would my own, with lots of love and attention. I have worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and with various personalities and temperaments. Separation anxiety, food aggression, possessiveness, jealously, you name it! I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets as I am working from home and have lots of free time. My schedule revolves around the dogs I’m watching. Depending on age and physical ability a typical day would look like: Typically I wake up around 7am and take your pets for a walk! After our walk we have breakfast (he’ll usually rest until 11:30/12) at that point we will go for another walk or play session for about an hour on my lunch break, after I am finished with work around 2:30/3 we go for a hike or to the dog park (depending on the dog), then we have dinner and get ready for bed! I give each and every animals the love and attention they deserve! If I am watching your pet you can be assured that they are getting the love and exercise they need. They will be spoiled with walks, hikes, play time, treats, and mentally stimulating toys such as kongs and lick mats!

“Amy was really great with my dog Bruno. she sent pictures every couple hours and videos of him, keeping me assured that he was in great hands. She even went ahead and brushed him out. Bruno really enjoyed being there for the weekend and I would definitely recommend her!”
“Samantha and her partner are just amazing! Took care of Kiwi’s very complex medical needs and even made sure she was comfortable walking with her arthritis by layout out rugs for her to walk on she she doesn’t slip. She even made her own chart to keep track of kiwis meds to make sure she never missed a dose. She’s amazing and will be our go to as long as we live in the area! Cant recommend enough!”
“Our sweet, shy and cuddly pup had a great stay with Crystal and her family! We could see from the updates she sent us that she was happy and having fun, and knowing she was safe and being loved made the separation easier. You can see easily that Crystal treats her charges as if they were her own when they are in her care. Thanks, and we will definitely utilize her again in the future.”
“It is obvious that Samantha loves dogs and cares for her “guests” as much as she cares for her own dog. My 2 had a great weekend and I felt better knowing they were together and well-cared for. Sam sent regular photos of them too. I would book again!”
“Jeffery was exceptional in every way! He cared for my two pups like they were his own and they came home happy little dogs. When my plans changed and I had delayed flights, he was flexible and kept them for another night - no issue at all. The farm setting provided lots of stimulation for the pups and I’m sure they learned a lot in the process!”
“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 recently adopted a bunny and we were going away on vacation for a few days… we needed someone who was able to watch my her while we were gone. We had a very nice meet and greet with Julia and she was very flexible with where my rabbit would stay, as well as how much space she could roam around in. She offered a whole room, that would be gated at the door, for my bunny. Since the meet and greet went so well, we booked her for the days we would be traveling. She made sure there was a carpet for my bun’s feet so she wouldn’t be on the hardwood floor. She put baby plugs in the outlets so my bunny couldn’t get to them. I felt very comfortable leaving my bunny with Julia and her family, they were all very kind. They even put a camera in the room so when they weren’t with my bunny, they could always keep an eye on her. My bunny seemed very comfortable and happy with the situation and adjusted very well because of Julia’s hospitality. Julia offered everything she could to make sure my bunny had an amazing stay. We will definitely be booking Julia again!!”
“Sierra was wonderful with our dogs! She sent us daily pictures and updates which was absolutely perfect especially since I sometimes forgot to ask! But in every picture or even the one video our dogs were having a blast, she was so professional and nice! Would definitely rebook!!”
“This is a great family home for my dog -- she loved boarding here. Aaron take all your special needs and indulgences into consideration and provides plenty of play opportunities. Just what my little doodle needs!”
About: I have 4 years of veterinary care experience along with 2 years of pet boarding experience. I own and care for several of my own animals as well! I am currently available for afternoon visits and care on week days. I have full availability on the weekends for any needs! I can also do midday pop in’s depending on location! I have 1 very friendly dog who does amazing with other animals but if your pet isn’t a fan I always have another safe space for them. I unfortunately do not have a fenced in yard therefore your pet will always be leashed for their safety. I will ensure we do lots of walks and playing to get their exercise!
“Cara and Dan were great! Their care for my mini poodle was awesome, communication with them was easy plus they sent a few pictures. And their home and property seemed very clean and well kept.”
“She was amazing with max. Took him for rides, he played with other dogs and enjoyed being there alot. I will definitely be having her watch him again. She would send updates, videos, and pictures of max too.”
“Shawn was so helpful, calm, and caring. She put me at ease and was flexible. Belle loved being at home with Shawn and her family. I received updates, pics, and vids. I will definitely book with her again and am so grateful she was there for Belle and I in a pinch!”
“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.”
“Erika was excellent with communication and flexibility. She sent me photos and updates of my sweet baby while I was away and Maggie had a blast while she was there. Thank you for taking such good care of my girl!”
About: I've had pets in my life since the day I was born, and as a teen I spent several years working in an animal shelter, caring for animals and working with the health team. I'm experienced with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with behavioral challenges, and visually impaired and deaf animals. I've also cared for dogs with serious health needs like cancer and diabetes. I'm not a vet or vet tech, but I'm comfortable with basic care like changing a bandage, and I know how to respond in an emergency and reach the nearest emergency care. I've boarded dogs over 100 pounds, and they do great with my dog Leo, a 16 pound Jack Russell dachshund mix who has graduated from obedience and agility courses about five times. I also sit cats, birds, small critters, and reptiles. For dogs, I like to start with a neutral meet and greet, so I ask for two weeks notice, though I'm flexible in emergencies. If you'd like, I can also arrange grooming and specialized training as an additional service while your pet is in my care, provided through a licensed groomer and trainer. Your pet will be treated like family. I work from home, so I offer daytime care during work hours as well as overnight boarding while you travel. Your pet gets plenty of one-on-one time and extra TLC when needed. All pet care happens in my home on a quiet street in the Village of Manchester. I work remotely, so your pet is never left alone for long. Dogs get lots of one-on-one time, and I'm happy to send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I start with a neutral meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along with my dog Leo. I have a large backyard with natural tree lines and barriers, but safety comes first. Any dog in my care stays on a leash or tie out whenever they're outside, with no exceptions, even if a yard is fenced. I'm happy to take short walks into the yard, and if your pet prefers pet pads, I can provide those. Cats get a quiet room behind closed doors, separate from my own cats, and can stay in their crate, come out, or sit with me in my office. I know how to respond in an emergency and how to reach the nearest emergency care.
