Cat caregivers near you - Gates Center

About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 50 years and currently share my home with three cats. I understand that cats thrive on routine and that trust is earned on their terms. Whether your cat is social, shy, senior, or a little spicy, I’ll provide patient, attentive care and keep you updated with photos and notes while you’re away.

“We had a great experience with Bhavneet! Very reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our cat’s well-being. We loved getting detailed updates and photos during each visit, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. One of our cats can be shy, but she was patient, gentle, and took the time to make sure our cat was comfortable and fed. We came home to happy, relaxed cats, which says everything. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”


About: Growing up, I had 4 dogs and a cat, seperated between households. More recently, I've been much more cat oriented since my partner is a lover of cats. I try to stay up to date on training research, and I'm big on communication! Your pet is your family member, and I want to know how to treat them best! I'm a freelancer so my schedule is always changing! I travel a lot both locally and further so making stops and changes in my plans are normal for me! I like to know exactly how you want your pet treated so expect lots of questions so I can ensure your pet feels safe and happy while their best friend (you) is away!
About: I am someone who currently walks my own dog daily and I am not afraid of other dogs and truly love to play and love dogs as much as I can! I am currently a hairdresser working weekends (Thursday-Sunday) but I love animal and want to be able to submerge myself into work that I love! I currently walk my dog daily and I make sure he has plenty of enrichment time to make sure that he is always happy and healthy

“Alexandra took great care of my cat! She sent pictures every day and kept me well updated. My cat is a little shy of new people and isn’t used to me being gone but he was in very good hands.”


“Rebecca did an amazing job! She took care of our cats like they were her own and was great with communication. The cats clearly liked her as well. We will be booking her again!”


“Dallas did a great job of taking care of my 2 cats. She provided great updates, my house was spotless, and I came home to 2 healthy and happy cats that had obviously been played with. Thank you Dallas!”

“This was our second time booking Cassidy, Charlie absolutely loves her. Charlie is normally a very nervous dog around people but he warmed right up to her the first time and the second time was no different. Cassidy is very attentive to what Charlie is doing and her communication is great!! We will definitely book her again!!”

About: I've been a foster and pet sitter for mostly greyhounds for the past 20 years, and have always had dogs of my own. I've gone through obedience classes and grooming, and am pretty good with most temperaments. I am very available and flexible, since I'm retired. I can come by during the day, including weekends and holidays, whatever works for you and your pet. Please note that I accept in-home stays that are a minimum of two nights. I can come to your home and stay, or visit to let your dog out, walk, or feed. Safety is a big factor and I'll do my best!
“I originally Booked for a drop in visit for christmas Eve. because of the Blizzard my plans changed to the next weekend. deborah was very accomodating to my change. Did a wonderful job with my boys. Will definitely use her again. I recommend her.”


“Kate took great care of my diabetic cat while I was out of town for Thanksgiving. She was very reliable, and he really liked her! He needs insulin shots twice a day and those went really smoothly. I am so grateful that he was happy and well cared for while I was gone. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I am a passionate pet care-taker with experience with a variety of animals including cats and dogs from high energy pups to immunocompromised seniors. I hope with my experience in boarding, daycare and in-home settings, I can be the right fit for you and your furry friends ❤️☀️ My schedule is wide open and flexible! I am willing to do overnights for up to 2 weeks, drop-ins could be upwards of a month if needed. Up to 3 walks a day. Let’s talk and we can work it out! You can expect your home to look the same as when you left - no accidents, destruction, crying or stress. Let your vacation be just that 🌴🍹

About: I grew up in a home with more than 15 animals, including chickens, dogs, cats, a turtle, a guinea pig, a bunny, fish, and a Bird! (Currently, I have 2 cats in my parents’ house.) I’m a college student, but I spend some of my time at my parents’ house during breaks, so I’m always around animals. Even at college, my roommate has two kittens—they’re so adorable! I truly enjoy giving animals attention because, just like us, they love care and affection. I treat animals like family and always make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m definitely a cat person, but I love all animals in their own unique ways! I’ve been pet-sitting dogs of all sizes—from small to large—since 2020. My older sister is also a sitter with great reviews on Rover, and she sometimes refers clients to me. I also help her out with her bookings when needed. I’m always happy to help with walking, daycare, overnight stays, and more!
About: I grew up with family dogs and currently have two shih tzus, Annie who is 5, and Bella who is 3. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I understand the importance of having someone you can trust to help care for your pets. I will provide quality and loving care and would love to help care for your furbabies! I currently work a full time job during the week so my schedule will be around that. My current availability is weekdays after 3pm and most weekends. I understand the importance of building trust with animals and getting to know them. Any special needs that your pet may have or special instructions that you may have will be followed and respected.

“Oz and Lily love going to Alex & Bethany house. It’s a good feeling knowing that your dogs are well taking care of . Oz and Lily love going to their house Home away from home ❤️”

“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”

“Gigi was great with Marshall! Their home is very welcoming and prepared to keep the dogs happy and safe. Great back yard too! Marshall enjoyed playing with their two King Charles’”

“Rachel provided kind, attentive and friendly care to my girl Lucy. She provided photos and updates on Lucy and how her day was going. I feel that my girl is in great hands and that I trust Rachel is giving Lucy all the love and attention she needs!”

About: Murphy and I are a tag team! Please only reach out if your pets are good with other dogs. I’ve always been the girl who is obsessed with dogs. I grew up with dogs and I was the one who took care of them, and that love for caring and training has only grown. I’m the type of person who needs a lot of “outside time” so my soul dog Murphy and I spend a good amount of time playing in the courtyard and going on multiple walks a day; I truly don’t know who’s happier. Currently, I have a very open schedule and it’s just Murphy and I at home all day. Some evenings I babysit for my family out in Spencerport, but kid friendly dogs are welcome to come with me and there is also a large yard (not fenced in, but there is a 30 ft leash set up). I have a fenced in grass courtyard where the dogs can play, and my apartment is very open and there’s lots of room for dogs to play inside. My dog Murphy does not need to be crated when left alone, but I have a small cage in case anyone who visits needs it. Murphy has more toys than I care to admit, so your pups will have lots to play with.
About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.

There’s also a dog park just 5 minutes away from my home! I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, loved, and well cared for.
“I can't say enough about how awesome Elliot & Dominque were with my very active Husky! They seemed to have as much fun as she did which is absolutely wonderful and I know that Denali is in fantastic hands when she is with them. Thank you guys again and see you soon!”

“Quinn took AMAZING care of Jose!! He loved being outside in her yard and playing with the other dogs. I received photos/videos every hour as well as updates on how he was adapting. I will definitely be taking him there again! Thanks Quinn!! 😊”

About: I've raised two energetic puppies through adolescence and frequently provide dog-sitting services for friends in the area. I also have experience working as an enrichment specialist at a well-known doggy daycare in Rochester and volunteering as a foster for local rescues. I am experienced with anxious dogs and can adapt to your fur-baby's specific needs. I'm trained in basic human and canine CPR, and I'm skilled at recognizing early signs of reactive behavior in animals. While I'm not perfect, I'm highly attentive. Since I’m home most of the time, I’ll ensure your pet stays healthy, happy, and safe! We are an adventure duo -- you can catch us at the beach playing fetch in the water, hiking, or just taking long strolls along the canal! On days where the weather is rainy, we still get 3 walks a day (morning, noon, evening) with thorough wipe downs after! Meal times are interwoven with short training sessions. I have dedicated several rooms in my house to doggy activity areas -- agility equipment, floor mats, etc (see photos). Grooming is done very regularly. My pup has environmental allergies so we also do a water rinse daily when we return from our adventures. When your baby stays with me, they will receive the same treatment (if they are comfortable getting brushed). He is my entire life and I couldn’t be happier! I have included photos of my home (and the excessive amount of dog toys we own) in my profile. Several of the rooms in my house are dedicated to doggy activities/enrichment and I also have a fenced in yard. I have also made sure that my set up allows me to separate dogs from each other if they ever get over stimulated -- I have enough rooms where each dog can be in their own room. I also have a doggy door so most days when the weather is not atrocious the dogs can relieve themselves/play as they please. Also my sun room is dedicated to dog care so if need be I can gate off/separate pooches that get too worked up (or just need privacy eating). I do have two crates — one for super small dogs and the other for dogs up to 35 lbs. My dog is crate trained but prefers free range so I have dog beds in every single room. Dogs are welcome on furniture but please make sure they have been recently bathed (within a few days before) if you are boarding as we keep our home extremely clean (the carpets get washed every month and vacuum and swiffering are done daily). We are probably not a good fit if your dog does not get along with other dogs, because my dog is still young and very energetic. If your dog does not like to play but does not react aggressively to other dogs attempting to initiate play, Momo would be fine as he does eventually give up if the other dog does not engage him at all. When we schedule a meet and greet, you can expect to meet us outside the front yard for a couple block long walk together before going to the backyard to let the pooches sniff each other out. Since Momo is a chow-mix, he is protective by nature and does not like it if other fur-babies he does not know well try to jump on his mom so I will likely only greet your baby after I put him back in the house.
About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!

“Caitlyn is so unbelievably awesome! The request was super last minute and she stayed flexible every day my plans changed. Communication was top tier and Doug was excited every single day to go back and play with Olaf. Can’t wait to book with her again in the future!”

“We went with Latoya for our first ever Rover stay while visiting from out of town. It worked out perfectly and she and her helper were both super friendly and very quick with communication. I would highly recommend and would gladly book with her again.”

“Andriana was great with Monte while we went to the PGA tournament this weekend. He had a great time playing outside and went on a walk. Thanks again, we will definitely be using her again if we are back in Rochester.”

“Excellent walker! Took my dog a bit to warm up to her but she was very patient while my dog warmed up. Met with me and my dog twice at a time that was convenient for me to make sure that my pup had a chance to get to know her. Highly recommended.”

About: Whether it’s potty-training the family dog or teaching a hunting dog to retrieve, I’ve been around them for pretty much my whole life. I currently travel for work so it’s just kitty and me for now, but I love helping whomever I can to take the best care possible of their furry family! I travel and work remotely, so I have time throughout the day to dedicate to providing the best experience I can for you and your pet(s)! I treat my clients’ homes like a place of business; courteous, professional, and I endeavor to leave it better than I found it. I’m very thorough when following instructions and will clarify any questions I have before making assumptions.
“Alexandra was absolutely amazing with my Enzo. She was generous with her time and went above and beyond for me. It makes working long hours so much easier when you know your dog is being well cared for.”

About: My love for animals has been my driving force in life. I’ve been taking care of and been around pets my entire life. I have experience with all types of animals, from cats and dogs, to reptiles and bunnies. I pride myself in how seriously I take caring for other peoples pets, I go above and beyond always, and I guarantee you I will love your pets as much as you. I have a very flexible schedule, I spend most of my time at home or hanging out with family! I do get my brothers off the bus nearly every day, but other than that, my time is spent with animals! I have seven cats and two dogs, so I take their care very seriously. I have a fenced in yard, I feed them the best food, everyone gets so much exercise and love and playtime. I have more litter boxes that I need to ensure that everyone has their own potty. I do so much more than the bare minimum for all of my pets.

About: Hi, I’m Marika! I’m a teacher, artist, mom, and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and learned from an early age the importance of daily walks, playtime, companionship, and responsible pet care. As an adult, I’ve shared my home with cats and currently care for multiple cats of my own. I offer cat sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking with a focus on kindness, reliability, and individualized care. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me that every pet is unique. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week.I understand how important routines are for pets and strive to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I do not offer pet care in my home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and make sure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet and home with care, respect, and reliability.

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been a pet sitter since I was 10 years old. All of my friends parents as a child as well as neighbors and relatives have all asked me time and time again to care for their pets in their home so they can relax while. Pets are my life. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and love walking them, playing with them and entertaining them. I will make your pets feel like they are part of my family, not only feeding and walking them but loving them while you are away. I look forward to play dates with your dogs and you can look forward to any updates you need while you are away. Pet care is continuous for us, day and night! We play multiple times a day, my husky mix loves playing soccer! I have games for my dogs, and they love the puzzles. I am currently doing pet care, and a few other small jobs to see where it goes. I am going to have good availability for a while! I have a fully fenced yard and 2 happy dogs, one is a 1 year old husky mix girl, fixed who would love a playmate, and the other is a 6 year old girl, fixed shepherd sized mix who likes to watch the playing more then participate in it.
About: Hi, my name is Lindsay and I’m an animal lover through and through. I grew up in a cat‑loving family with the most adorable tabby and Persian cats. One of our Persians, Sweetie, was especially close to me. She passed away a few years ago, and losing her truly broke my heart—she was with me for so long and gave me so many wonderful memories. I also spend a lot of time with my family’s dogs—a brown Labrador, a German Shorthaired Pointer, and a pair of Boston Terriers—and I always make sure to play with them whenever we’re together. Back in high school, my mom, sister, and I volunteered at our local humane society. We cleaned kennels and litter boxes, played with the animals, and gave them the affection and company they needed. I’ve also cared for many of my family’s and friends’ cats and dogs over the years, and there has never been a dull moment. Pets bring so much joy. A little about me: I love hiking, doodling, drinking coffee, playing mobile games, reading, and traveling. I enjoy spending time with my family, good friends, and—of course—fur babies. I’m flexible, easygoing, and always happy to hang out with pets who need love and attention. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them all the care and affection they deserve. I work part‑time from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I offer weekend boarding and weekday availability after my work hours. My yard is fully fenced and secure, giving your fur baby a safe place to play. My neighborhood has lots of sidewalks, so your pet will enjoy calm walks right outside my home.

“Karibian is so friendly and dependable— I would recommend her to anyone needing pet services! She always sends me pictures and updates when she walks my pup, even making time to play with him some and give him pets before putting him back in his kennel after walking. Having her walk my pup makes me feel so much less stressed when I have to leave him for the day, because I know he will be loved on and that I can count on her! We are so glad we found Karibian!”

“Kyle did a wonderful job with my large, high-energy pit mix. He has a very calm presence, which is important for high-energy dogs. And he was also very patient with her. I'd definitely use him again :)”

“Cassidy has been fantastic with my dog Zion. Quick, clear, and frequent communication and pictures. He seems to enjoy the visits and she goes above and beyond to give my needy boy all the belly scratches he desires.”

“Meredith does a fantastic job walking Snuggles! Snuggles is very particular about who she walks with, and she never even hesitated with Meredith. She went with Meredith immediately, and trotted along with her through the village of Fairport. Meredith, is upbeat, calm, and loving. Snuggles loves her!”

About: I have had Bruno since he was 4 months old, the first year was in and out of vets, I finally figured out he had pretty bad allergies since started allergies pills and making his food from scratch he is living his best life. My girlfriend is a traveling ot, so I have a free schedule while we are here in mountain home, besides taking care of our animals my schedule is mostly free with open availability and can do multiple visits in a day Because of us renting we can not house animals in our home, I can house/ pet sit or do multiple visits in a day anytime.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. I helped raise several puppies including one who I fostered before she became a seeing eye dog. I have also assisted in training my partner's service dog. I focus primarily on house sitting for folks with cats. I am open to other jobs sometimes. Regardless of the species or amount of time, your furry friend will be happy and healthy and my capable hands. I take careful notes about you animal's routine and needs before they are in my care. Skills for behavioral and emotional regulation are built into the way i interact with dogs. Cats and i just vibe. Even skittish cats tend to warm up to me in few days and we always have a nice time together.
About: I have had pets since I was a kid. I had dogs, cats, birds, fish, lizards, Guinea pigs. I currently have a husky now. I have a big heart for animals. I will help take care of any dog/cat. I am available after 3pm weekdays due to work and all day on weekends. If I can’t come for whatever reason, such my son being sick or an appointment, my boyfriend is able too. My dog is crate trained and he goes on walks daily. I will be able to take your dog out on walks and let them run in the backyard, if you have a fenced in yard. I will feed them and play with them and keep them stimulated.

“Jamie and Brian provide exceptional care. My dog truly gets pampered and is so excited to see them when I drop her off. I don’t have to worry about her for a second while I’m gone.”

About: I’ve been walking dogs for a while now, and I’ve always had dogs of my own. I also have experience fostering. I have experience with all ages, sizes, and breeds. I currently work from home, so I have flexibility in when and how I can provide care. I’m available weekdays for drop ins and walks. I look forward to taking your dog on walks, and can transport them securely in my car if needed. Depending on the dog, a service I offer is jogs. I take my own pup, Flo, on runs all the time.
“Melissa and Tyler took such great care of our dog Leo. He loved playing with their dog Luna. You can tell they really like dogs and what they are doing. Their home is very dog friendly as well. We will definitely be boarding Leo again with them!”

“Had a great experience with Patrick. We had an unplanned trip for family reasons and had to find a sitter for Whiskey (1yo unfixed cav) a day before leaving. Patrick was very accommodating with this last minute booking and extending Whiskey's stay for another night. Whiskey had an awesome time playing with Moose. We got updates with pictures and videos. We're definitely going to book again for other trips”

“Rebecca was great! Kept me updated and sent pictures multiple times a day. Our dog was well cared for and loved while we were away! Thank you so much for for caring for our baby!”

“Matt & Rachel we’re great dog sitters for us! This was our first time using Rover and having our dogs stay with strangers so we were a little nervous going into it. We had a meet and greet with them and their dogs prior to booking and it eased all our nerves! We loved the daily photos and videos from them. They were great about providing an update on our dogs daily including the status of them eating. One of our dogs gets really anxious and depressed when we leave him (even if he’s staying with our parents) and tends to skip meals. Rachel and Matt kept a close eye on him and updated us regularly. Pups came home very tired from playing - safe to say, we’ve already booked them again for a future trip!”

“Elliot and Dominique were amazing! They took great care of my precious pup and kept me regularly updated with how she was doing throughout her stay. They sent me home with a cute picture of her and a glowing positive report. It was such a relief to find such nice people to take my girl overnight in a home setting, and even within walking distance. Will definitely be using Elliot and Dominique in the future. Thanks so much!!”
