“Pam and her husband took great care of Penny this week. We are so grateful to have found someone to care for our sweet dog when we are away. Pam was easy to work with, kept us informed and sent lots of pictures.”
“Boo had a great stay with Kate! I loved receiving photos and videos to see how he was doing. Happy to have a place where I know he’s happy and being well cared for when I’m traveling.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful. We were very nervous about leaving our senior dog and very soon in to taking our little dog in we were good. Samantha really did an excellent job making sure he ate and giving him his medicine. We will definitely recommend Samantha to take care of your dog. We will be using Samantha again.”
“Tim and Kathy are incredible people! They took such good care of our Caesar when we went away for the night. They sent pictures and sweet notes and we knew he was in the best of hands. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Mariema was fantastic! She took our brand new 2 year old rescue with little helpful instructions from us and kept her busy, having fun and getting all that energy depleted each day. We got daily pictures and insights into her behavior. Would highly recommend and will be asking Mariema to keep this whirlwind again for us!”
“Both Kimberly and Chris were very easy to make arrangements with, and their two happy dogs are a great reference! I had peace of mind leaving Murphy there, and the photos Kimberly sent of the dogs hanging out were great. They are nice people that love animals and I think Murphy had a great time with them. They were also really accommodating in terms of working with our plans/needs, which was so helpful. ”
“Jeffery helped me out in a pinch and watched my dog Ruby for several days. He provided frequent updates and photos during her stay, which helped me feel at ease. You can tell he’s very passionate and thoughtful when it comes to dog care. Lots of activity during the day and other dogs to play with. Ruby seemed to have a wonderful time!”
“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: 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.
“I had an awesome experience with Garrison this weekend. My 9-month old puppy stayed with her overnight and had a great time at her house! Garrison is so friendly and communicative, I will definitely get in touch the next time I need a sitter!”
“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!”
About: I have always had dogs and cats as a part of my family and I also spent a lot of time cat sitting for friends and family. My family fostered puppies and dogs for several years through a local organization! I am in school studying animal behavior and have done an internship at a cat shelter giving enrichment and behavior training to the particularly shy cats. I work part time, only 3-5 hours a day at a shop a few minutes from my house. Other than work and quick errands from time to time I’m home full time otherwise! I have a huge backyard that is not fenced in, however your pet would have full on leash supervised access to the yard! I have an older cat who gets along very well with other animals.
“Kim watched Sir Sparklepuff for 17 days, following our relocation. We had been worried about leaving him at such a transitional time, but she made the extra effort of meeting him prior to his stay with her, first in our home, then in her own. His stay seems to have gone quite well -- he was returned to us happy and well-cared for. Kim also sent us daily photos which were absolutely remarkable -- professional quality! She clearly spent time connecting with him, and playing with him. We are sure to use her services again, and cannot recommend her highly enough!”
“We are so grateful for finding Dianna and Matthew! Our usual boarding facility was unavailable during the timeframe we needed. Luckily Dianna and Matt had availability and we are so glad we took a chance on them! Not only did my dog Stanlee seem to have a peaceful, happy, and safe experience, Dianna was so great about calming my nerves along the way as well-- she would send me numerous updates, pictures, and videos! I was especially grateful to be reassured throughout Stanlee's stay that he was doing great. We will surely be using them again in the future! Thanks again to both of you for taking care of my fluffy baby!”
“Anastasia watched Willow for two weeks while we were in Europe. She sent us updates periodically which was perfect since we were on vacation. Our daughter picked up Willow at the end and said that Willow was content and calm which means Willow had a good time adjusting. We will definitely use Anastasia again!”
“Dixie was lovely! Our dog Hudson had a great time following her around and going on walks on her spacious property. Dixie was very attentive -she even slept on the couch by Hudson’s crate to make sure he was ok.”
“Lourdes was amazing. She watched both of my dogs for four days and my girl is very shy so she took a while to transition but Lourdes was so patient with her and sent me constant updates about both dogs so I always knew how they were doing. She and Yoko (her pup) are wonderful and generous hosts.”

“Christian continues to be my "go to" for prompt, kind and affectionate attention and walks for Lucy Dog at lunchtime when I am at work. Christian takes unprompted and quick action when unexpected situations arise. He is intuitive, mature and responsive, and he genuinely cares for my dog. I highly recommend Christian without reservation.”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention, patience, and reliability I bring to every visit. I don’t treat pet sitting as a quick check in. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and adjust my care to what makes them feel most comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for the past 11 years and dogs for the past 5. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident that your fur friend is in good hands. I hope to earn your trust and your business! I am a licensed real estate professional and investor, so a lot of my job is done from home, leaving me with great flexibility from 9am-9pm Being involved in real estate for the past 4 years I understand how important it is to respect others homes. For example, always removing shoes, remembering to lock all doors and windows, cleaning up any potential messes that are made and so on.
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our boys. We (boys included) knew as soon as we met her, she was a perfect fit. This was our first time using Rover but Elizabeth really put our mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again.”
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! Ghost also has Addison’s Disease, which has given me several years of experience managing daily medications and have been trained by my veterinarian on how to administer his monthly injections. 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. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule and can work around your schedule! I’m happy to stop by whenever is convenient for you. I prefer at least a day notice in advance if possible. I will follow whatever instructions you provide. Does your pup need a walk? Does he/she need to play fetch in the backyard? Or does he/she just need cuddles? I’m happy to provide multiple levels of care because I care about your pup!
“Amazing!! Our dog looks forward to her visits and we know he is in good hands. Keeps communication open and goes above expectations while caring for our dog. Would highly recommend”
About: I’m very caring, vegan, and compassionate. I have watched animals for friends for 5+years. I love to help whenever anyone needs me to be there. I am reliable. I currently work 4 days a week full time, I do school from home. That may sounds like a lot but I have a pretty open schedule. Will not get in the way. We have a fenced in yard, very quiet neighborhood. I’ve crated animals in other peoples homes if needed. I love to walk, feed, hangout with every animal. And meet owners needs.
About: Our pets are family, and it can be scary sometimes when you don't know who is caring for them while you're gone. Under my care, I treat every fur baby like they were my fur baby. I grew up living with dogs, a Bichon Frise and a Pit Bull, which taught me how to communicate and care for dogs of all sizes and dogs breeds with separation anxiety. I'm pretty active and am currently training for the NYC 2022 Marathon, so I love to run/walk with my dog Casper. About a year ago, Casper and I moved in with my partner Victor and his 2 cats, Jewel & Scarlett, in Rushville, New York. Initially, we were nervous about introducing them so we started slow by keeping them in separate rooms with a gate. Once they became more comfortable and curious about each other (more on the cats end), we took the gate down after a couple days. It was a seamless living transition if there ever was one. Now all 3 love hanging out on the play mat together with their toys or taking naps nearby each other. We're looking for more furry friends to keep them company and to nap together! Our house is quite spacious with a large open living and family room for lots of play time and nap time. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for dogs and cats. Our house has a huge front & backyard (not fenced) to run around on leash. When it snows, we love making dog trails around our property because what dog doesn't love to run in the snow! And I'm very experienced in putting on dog boots if needed. Lastly, we are a 15-20 minute walk to Canandaigua Lake, and live 3 minutes from Bare Hill. Currently, Victor and I are started a small business that will be launching this Spring. We work from home Monday-Friday and make our own hours so we are flexible. And I'm available on the weekends and any last minute bookings. Before any booking, I would like to set up a Meet & Greet to learn what I need to best care for your fur baby(ies) and to make sure Casper and your dog(s) get along (Doggy Day Care). The dates I'm currently unavailable are July 8-24, 2022 and Sept 1-5, 2022. My Home: spacious living and family rooms for dogs to run around, a play mat area with toys, and plenty of space to bring your dog's bed so he/she feels comfortable and at home. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for both dogs and cats. Outside, we have a huge front and backyard, although it is not fenced, still a lot of space to run around on leash. And if your dog loves to run, he/she is welcomed to join our running pack. We're a 15-20 min walk to Canandaigua Lake, and a 3 minute drive to Bare Hill Unique Area. Your Home: I will request a Meet & Greet before booking, and would like to do an initial house visit to learn where the pet food, toys and cleaning supplies are located. Along with learning if your pet has any special needs like medication. I will be a respectful guest in your home and make sure your fur baby(ies) are loved and cared for while you are away.
About: I’ve had cats my whole life. Currently as i’m writing this, I have 3 cats, two of which just had kittens, which we have 8 little babies! Ive taken care of neighbors cats, and am excited to hopefully take care of yours!
About: My experience with animals but more cats than anything but I have grand puppies that I love and have taken care of. I have had them overnight and have gone to their house out my personal schedule to let outside, to feed and love. I have two cats that is not just pets but are like mine and my wife's kids. Kiki is 13 year old female and she is very active and loveable at times. Max is our 18lb baby who is a clown and very active. My grand puppies are two Huskys, a black lab and two mix breed dogs who I have partially help raise. All in all I love these animals as family members. I would do the same for yours. My schedule is flexible. I have another job where I shop and certain days of the week is slow. This would be perfect to fill the slow times from my other job Well our two cats are very much loved. We don't have fenced in yard but we built a cat patio so our two cats would get fresh and feel safe.
About: Note: 98% of my business is private clients because Rover does not send me much business. My prices reflect my time with your loved pets and we hope that you would pay us more than your cleaning lady/man because your fur kids are of most important to you. Right? I am booked probably 1/2-3/4 of the month on my own but I would love to help you thru Rover. My prices reflect my service and need to charge an amount which Rover will take 20% of my fee. Why you should pick me as your preferred petsitter: I am responsible. Love Pets and your pet(s) are where they belong - in your/their home - unless I am hosting your pet(s). I administer oral and injectable medication to pets as you prescribe. Dogs, cats, fish and birds love me. I stay because it is good for your pets too and I don't want to drive to your home everytime I feed your pet. I save you time by not having to drive to the dogggy/pet hotel. If you need more info, please let me know - plenty of references. Every client hires me again. Note: If you lie about the number of pets and kind in your home, I think that honesty is the best policy if you want my help and I want you to be honest with Rover and since I will be in your home. We need mutual respect. Hiring me is not about saving money, it is about keeping your pet in a familiar and happy environment. My first interview is by phone before I come to your house.

Please note: Pet Day Care: 8 hour sessions but you get a discount for a 4 hours request. * (e.g. for pets who are infermed, are escape artists, pets with anxiety issues etc) or you just want them to have company. I sometimes send pics from my phone and not ROVER app so my photo rate is lower than expected. On Christmas week - I may be hosting at a second home. Housesitting is an evening service to for me: My evening rate starts with the evening meal sometime after 6 pm and ends with the serving of breakfast dependent upon my schedule. If you want need more services or hours let me know and the cost will increase*. Housitting means that I am coming to your home to petsit vs you boarding your pet at my home. It means that I go in and out of your home based upon my schedule. If you want a midday walk or specify times of service, there is an extra visit fee which will be added. Likewise, an early arrival before dinner/service after I serve breakfast should be booked as a stop in or midday visit or additional day. Ask, if this is not clear. Your home should be clean including bed sheets and a towel for me. Please make sure your stove and oven are free of anything that can cause a fire or melt with heat. My fee does not include cleaning or snowplowing/shoveling of snow. Please make appropriate arrangements before and during my stay for snow removal. I am available for morning and night meals along with sleeping over. I would go in and out of the house like a normal pet parent.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.
“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!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Potter
About: I have raised and cared for my families dogs as well as my own personal pets since I was a child. From puppy days to senior life, I have experienced it all and have enjoyed every moment of it. For me, having dogs around is a must! I currently work 4 days a week at a brewery in Rochester. I am available for walks and check-ins Tuesday/Wed all day, Thursday-Friday 8am-11am. Sunday's are open and negotiable as well! I enjoy spending time outside (park, trails, yard) with the active dogs, and talked to/petting the lazy/sleepy ones while they lounge inside. I live close to some wonderful parks, and enjoy throwing a ball around or just taking a stroll.
“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: Our family loves animals. It’s evident when you drive up to our house and see the goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. We have lots of experience with lots of animals, at all stages of life and with administering medications. Now that the kids are all in school. I have extra time to spend with my 4 legged babies and yours. We enjoy hiking, long and/or short walks around Canandaigua. I am a responsible and respectful professional. I will take care of your pet and home as if it were my own. I want to earn your trust and loyalty.
“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!”
“Kathy and Tim were wonderful! They have a beautiful home tucked into the woods, and a shady fenced in area for dogs to play. They were welcoming, and took good care of my dog Roni. Roni spent the day with Tim and Kathy, and loved playing with their dog Bailey. I hope to become a regular customer! Do not hesitate to bring your pup to stay with Kathy and Tim!”
About: My dogs and I are ready to watch and play with your pets! We love meeting new friends and are more than happy to accommodate you. I'm currently working from home and am generally home all throughout the day to play with and hang out with your pets. If I have an errand to run, I can always let you know ahead of time. We have a fenced in area for the dogs to play and splash if they want! If I do leave the house, I generally crate my dogs and would also crate your pet if you need. If the pet is fine to be out and unsupervised, that is fine too.
“Jeffery is our dog whisperer! Miley loves her visits, especially if playmates are present. When we arrive at Jeffery’s place she bolts to Jeffery and does not look back. We get updates, photos and videos. Comforting to know Miley is in good hands and having fun while we get a rare evening out.”
“Margaret and her husband were the most amazing and kindest people we have ever met. They were both so caring and loving to our pup. We are eternally grateful for them. Both were so respectful, listened to all the instructions, and were extremely responsible for pup introductions. They have the kindest and most well behaved dogs. Bonus; they were so kind and considerate about ensuring my small pup’s boundaries, making sure they were being met, with slow introductions, and space to decompress!!! They are without a doubt the best dog people. They care, they love, and your pup(s) would be in the best hands ever. I’d I could give 1000 stars I would :)”

“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.”
About: As a pet parent of 23 years I understand how much joy our fur friends bring us. Unfortunately sometimes our day to day life prevents us from giving them all the love and attention they deserve. Please allow me to become part of your pals routine. You won’t regret it. I have taken joy in walking, snuggling, feeding, and caring for my pets over the years. I enjoy being outside and walking daily and I would love new company! With your permission I can take your dogs to some of my favorite walking spots in the area. Work with me and you will see for yourself my punctuality, enthusiasm and commitment to keeping your fur baby happy and healthy. Feel free to message me anytime during the service for your pet pics, updates, and any other information. Whenever you need me give me a call! I’m currently working from home via computer so I have very flexible availability. However I am a mom so if you request a overnight stay I would have to bring her with me. Don’t hesitate to reach out anytime. At home my furry friends are kept in our fenced in yard and on the leash on walks. I would keep the same commit to your dogs.
“Dianna was amazing at communicating and share photos of my pup while at her place. Their home is perfect for dogs to run around at while your busy hiking or visiting the area.”
“Dixie was super sweet and is a lovely sitter! Our two big girls looked like they had a really good time! Dixie also give us some news during the day for us to know everything was doing great ? Would really recommend her!! ?”
“Garrison was excellent with Dan and Maisy. We felt totally comfortable leaving the pups there for the day while we visited friends in the area and when we picked them up they were tired from all the fun they had. Would definitely use her again if in the area!”
About: I am currently a Senior nursing major at Keuka College. I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats in the house. I unfortunately don’t have any pets in the house currently. Most of my experience is from watching friends pets but I would love to meet some new fur babies!! I’m flexible to drive or to have pets at my house. I do have experience with senior dogs and giving them the medication and special attention needed. I am a Keuka College college student that’s works part time in Canandaigua. I am very flexible over the summer. Availability is posted on my page. I have grown up with pets and am used to taking care of them. I have also pet sitting for neighbors since I was a little kid and still continue to pet sit years later.
About: I’ve had pets all my life. I’m retired so I have time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I’ve worked with deaf dogs and administered meds for both young and older pets. All in all my theory is that pets just make one’s life all the better they are truly gifts to us. I am retired so I have a lot of flexibility to stay with your pet or have your pet with us in our home or walk your dog when needed. I have a fenced yard and two sweet dogs who get the run of the house along with your dog, including the furniture. It’s a happy home here.
About: I worked for a pet hotel for 5 years taking care of dogs and cats. This included doggy day camp (playtime), feeding, cleaning, and giving meds if needed. I handled exotic animals with two different wildlife education programs! As a pet mom myself I am no stranger to what an animal needs. It doesnt just fit into my schedule it is my schedule. I have 3 wonderful cat babies and a senior dog who are my life. I love to take walks and run around so dogs love me. I understand that animals need more than the basics of food and water, they also need love and attention, as well as lots of play time!
About: I have a German Shepherd and walk him every night around Canandaigua. He loves adventures and it is quite clear that dogs love to travel. I love to make sure they are having fun and are being stimulated. Dogs are so smart. It is fun to interact and treat them like friends. I am available all the time and have experience taking my neighbor's dogs out once a day as she was away at work. This was a truly fun experience and has compelled me to seek out more opportunities like that. I wish to meet more dogs and like-minded people who appreciate how dogs provide unconditional love whether you are having a good day or a bad one. Endlessly, they love. It is beautiful.

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! Ghost also has Addison’s Disease, which has given me several years of experience managing daily medications and have been trained by my veterinarian on how to administer his monthly injections. 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. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule and can work around your schedule! I’m happy to stop by whenever is convenient for you. I prefer at least a day notice in advance if possible. I will follow whatever instructions you provide. Does your pup need a walk? Does he/she need to play fetch in the backyard? Or does he/she just need cuddles? I’m happy to provide multiple levels of care because I care about your pup!
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 13. I walk mine and my sisters dogs frequently. I have done overnights with dogs. I let dogs out during the day and feed them for meal times. I am a nursing student at Hartwick college and can easily work about my schedule to take care of pets. I am unavailable on Thursdays, but every other day works depending on my schedule. In my clients home I use any equipment that they recommend and use. I have taken dogs for rides in my car and roll the windows down for them to see out.
About: I’ve had dogs in the family my entire life. My parents currently have 3 Lab/Australian Shepard mixes that I care for often. I’ve also dog sat for multiple friends on several occasions and loved every minute of it! I’m currently working full time at home. My apartment complex is pet friendly and has it’s own dog park that I can access. My 1200 sq ft apartment provides ample room for running space and my schedule allows for me to provide as much attention as needed to your pet! I’m happy to provide all the cuddles or ball throwing your pet may want! Just let me know what works best for you and your pet.
“Elizabeth was great with our energetic dogs and getting them the exercise they needed. Her communication and photos eased our concerns about working with someone new. We’ll be happy to work with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had a medium sized dog of my own for the past six years. I also have been asked by numerous friends and family members if I could watch their dogs for a few days to weeks at a time. I am currently working part time where I only work Tuesday, Fridays, and one Saturday in a month. I have a significant amount of time left to dedicate to taking care of your animals! I have a large yard with a crick running along the edge of it. I also have a fluffy 5 year old dog to keep your dog company
About: I have worked with animals all of my life. I have two dogs of my own at home and everyday they get walks, treats, and playtime no matter what my schedule looks like. I am going to college and dog sitting is something that I find enjoying. I recently moved here from Michigan. I have an easy schedule so I am normally available. Please message me if you have any more questions! I am excited to hear from you! I also do long term or extended sitting as well. Unfortunately I do not board or sit at my home. I love all animals and I will make sure they get the love, care, and affection needed while your away! Right now I’m a stay at home worker. Who was time to take care of your pets. I will make sure they get let out or given lots of attention. Since I do not sit at my home, I will follow your direct instructions on how to let your pets out, feed them, administer medications, etc.
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: Our pets are family, and it can be scary sometimes when you don't know who is caring for them while you're gone. Under my care, I treat every fur baby like they were my fur baby. I grew up living with dogs, a Bichon Frise and a Pit Bull, which taught me how to communicate and care for dogs of all sizes and dogs breeds with separation anxiety. I'm pretty active and am currently training for the NYC 2022 Marathon, so I love to run/walk with my dog Casper. About a year ago, Casper and I moved in with my partner Victor and his 2 cats, Jewel & Scarlett, in Rushville, New York. Initially, we were nervous about introducing them so we started slow by keeping them in separate rooms with a gate. Once they became more comfortable and curious about each other (more on the cats end), we took the gate down after a couple days. It was a seamless living transition if there ever was one. Now all 3 love hanging out on the play mat together with their toys or taking naps nearby each other. We're looking for more furry friends to keep them company and to nap together! Our house is quite spacious with a large open living and family room for lots of play time and nap time. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for dogs and cats. Our house has a huge front & backyard (not fenced) to run around on leash. When it snows, we love making dog trails around our property because what dog doesn't love to run in the snow! And I'm very experienced in putting on dog boots if needed. Lastly, we are a 15-20 minute walk to Canandaigua Lake, and live 3 minutes from Bare Hill. Currently, Victor and I are started a small business that will be launching this Spring. We work from home Monday-Friday and make our own hours so we are flexible. And I'm available on the weekends and any last minute bookings. Before any booking, I would like to set up a Meet & Greet to learn what I need to best care for your fur baby(ies) and to make sure Casper and your dog(s) get along (Doggy Day Care). The dates I'm currently unavailable are July 8-24, 2022 and Sept 1-5, 2022. My Home: spacious living and family rooms for dogs to run around, a play mat area with toys, and plenty of space to bring your dog's bed so he/she feels comfortable and at home. We have plenty of treats and running water fountain for both dogs and cats. Outside, we have a huge front and backyard, although it is not fenced, still a lot of space to run around on leash. And if your dog loves to run, he/she is welcomed to join our running pack. We're a 15-20 min walk to Canandaigua Lake, and a 3 minute drive to Bare Hill Unique Area. Your Home: I will request a Meet & Greet before booking, and would like to do an initial house visit to learn where the pet food, toys and cleaning supplies are located. Along with learning if your pet has any special needs like medication. I will be a respectful guest in your home and make sure your fur baby(ies) are loved and cared for while you are away.
About: My experience with animals but more cats than anything but I have grand puppies that I love and have taken care of. I have had them overnight and have gone to their house out my personal schedule to let outside, to feed and love. I have two cats that is not just pets but are like mine and my wife's kids. Kiki is 13 year old female and she is very active and loveable at times. Max is our 18lb baby who is a clown and very active. My grand puppies are two Huskys, a black lab and two mix breed dogs who I have partially help raise. All in all I love these animals as family members. I would do the same for yours. My schedule is flexible. I have another job where I shop and certain days of the week is slow. This would be perfect to fill the slow times from my other job Well our two cats are very much loved. We don't have fenced in yard but we built a cat patio so our two cats would get fresh and feel safe.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I provide personalized care for every pet, including puppy training reinforcement, senior pet support, medication administration, exercise, playtime, and consistent communication with owners through updates and photos. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I work full time with dogs and have over four years of hands-on experience. Caring for animals comes naturally to me, and I’m comfortable managing feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and providing attentive, reliable care every day. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages. My experience working full time with dogs for over four years has helped me become confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old; neighbors and friends. And frequently watch my moms dog when needed. I love dogs I am a travel nurse. and block my schedule. I am a nurse and don’t have time to have my own dog full time so I would love to love someone else’s for a short time.

I have cared for and have loved my pets with all of my heart and I plan to do the same for your big and little ones as well.

I am also a frequent petsitter for foster dogs so I have lots of experience with dogs that have emotional and behavioral issues and the patience and care it takes while they learn what it means to be loved again. I look forward to setting up a meet and greet with you and your furry friends! I will make sure that your pets feel comfortable and safe just as you would and I cant wait to give them lots of love!

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful. We were very nervous about leaving our senior dog and very soon in to taking our little dog in we were good. Samantha really did an excellent job making sure he ate and giving him his medicine. We will definitely recommend Samantha to take care of your dog. We will be using Samantha again.”
“Tim and Kathy are incredible people! They took such good care of our Caesar when we went away for the night. They sent pictures and sweet notes and we knew he was in the best of hands. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Mariema was fantastic! She took our brand new 2 year old rescue with little helpful instructions from us and kept her busy, having fun and getting all that energy depleted each day. We got daily pictures and insights into her behavior. Would highly recommend and will be asking Mariema to keep this whirlwind again for us!”
“Both Kimberly and Chris were very easy to make arrangements with, and their two happy dogs are a great reference! I had peace of mind leaving Murphy there, and the photos Kimberly sent of the dogs hanging out were great. They are nice people that love animals and I think Murphy had a great time with them. They were also really accommodating in terms of working with our plans/needs, which was so helpful. ”
“Jeffery helped me out in a pinch and watched my dog Ruby for several days. He provided frequent updates and photos during her stay, which helped me feel at ease. You can tell he’s very passionate and thoughtful when it comes to dog care. Lots of activity during the day and other dogs to play with. Ruby seemed to have a wonderful time!”
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.
“I had an awesome experience with Garrison this weekend. My 9-month old puppy stayed with her overnight and had a great time at her house! Garrison is so friendly and communicative, I will definitely get in touch the next time I need a sitter!”
“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!”
About: I have always had dogs and cats as a part of my family and I also spent a lot of time cat sitting for friends and family. My family fostered puppies and dogs for several years through a local organization! I am in school studying animal behavior and have done an internship at a cat shelter giving enrichment and behavior training to the particularly shy cats. I work part time, only 3-5 hours a day at a shop a few minutes from my house. Other than work and quick errands from time to time I’m home full time otherwise! I have a huge backyard that is not fenced in, however your pet would have full on leash supervised access to the yard! I have an older cat who gets along very well with other animals.
“We are so grateful for finding Dianna and Matthew! Our usual boarding facility was unavailable during the timeframe we needed. Luckily Dianna and Matt had availability and we are so glad we took a chance on them! Not only did my dog Stanlee seem to have a peaceful, happy, and safe experience, Dianna was so great about calming my nerves along the way as well-- she would send me numerous updates, pictures, and videos! I was especially grateful to be reassured throughout Stanlee's stay that he was doing great. We will surely be using them again in the future! Thanks again to both of you for taking care of my fluffy baby!”
“Dixie was lovely! Our dog Hudson had a great time following her around and going on walks on her spacious property. Dixie was very attentive -she even slept on the couch by Hudson’s crate to make sure he was ok.”
About: I've been a devoted dog mom on and off since 1998 and truly love caring for and walking our furry companions. While I'm currently taking a short break from having my own pup, my love for animals hasn't changed. I live alone and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I'm excited to support other pet parents through reliable pet sitting and attentive dog walking. Every pet I care for is treated like family. I work full-time Monday through Fridays. 830-5pm. Would be available to check in and walk your pups on the lunch hour and evenings and free most weekends. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I live in a spacious townhome on a quiet dead-end street. Perfect for peaceful walks. I'm also close to a lake with beautiful walking paths for longer, relaxing outings. I'm available for in-home stays and house sitting, and since I live alone with no pets or children, I'm able to give each dog my full attention and care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
“Beth is very attentive to the needs of my dog. She took care of his needs that also include medication administration. He got plenty of exercise and affection. He returned a very happy dog!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kyle and Max! They took amazing care of our golden retriever, Harry, for five days and treated him like he was part of their family. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. Kyle and Max kept Harry entertained, active, and happy with plenty of adventures, playtime, and attention. The photos and updates they sent gave us so much peace of mind and made it clear just how much love and care they were giving him. Harry came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious that they took the time to get to know his personality and made sure he felt comfortable and loved while we were away. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, we highly recommend Kyle and Max. We are incredibly grateful for everything they did for Harry and would not hesitate to book with them again! Thank you both for giving Harry such a fun-filled and loving home away from home! He misses you already.🐾❤️”
