Personalized care for your dog or cat - Potter
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Potter
“Pam is wonderful and I could tell our sweet girl loved it at Pam’s place. I’ve already rebooked! So thankful to have found her! She sent me photos and a video to assure me my beagle was doing well! Thank you Pam!”
“Kathy and Tim are trustworthy, lovely people that will care deeply for your pet. They are a pleasure to speak with, knowing your dog will be in great hands. I would without a doubt book with them again.”
“This was my first time using River and I could not have chosen a better person to leave my dog with than Kate. She kept me up to date as to how he was doing which did a lot to ease my mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of someone to watch their pets.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Garrison is such a sweet and caring person ! We have had our dogs stay with her a couple of times for weekends away and they always have an amazing time. She is great at giving updates and sending photos of them so we feel like we aren't missing anything. You can tell she really cares for them. We will be having our pups stay with her again !”
“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!”
“I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.”
“Kim was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Daisy. I was worry-free on my trip as I received daily photos of Daisy playing, snoozing, and hanging out with Kim. Kim treated Daisy as her own and I will highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable home for their dog to stay while their away.”
“Jeffery made ny two rescue pups feel right at home on his lovely farm. Jeffery even watched my 5 month old pup who is still potty training. My girls came home tired and loved. We will definitely book Jeffery 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!!”
“Carol was absolutely incredible. My little dog Munchkin is a momma’s boy who really struggles being away from me. But with Carol he settled in and was eating, playing, and relaxing. She sent pictures and updates each day to let me know how he was doing and that really put my mind at ease since I’ve never used Rover or left Munchkin with anyone outside of family before. Munchkin is a cavapoo, so his fur can get tangled pretty easily as well but Carol brushed him every day and he came home tangle-free which really shows the care she puts into the dogs she boards. She made sure he was well cared for and loved, and I 100% recommend her for anyone wanting to board their dog and will definitely book with her in the future. She even had me fill out additional info regarding Munchkin just so she knew more about him and the best way to care for him while I was away. She was truly the best dog sitter I could have imagined leaving my little guy with. If you are looking for someone to treat your dog as their own, then Carol is definitely the way to go!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Beth. We had the same dog sitter for 20 years, but she retired and we were nervous about finding a new one. Beth was great right from the start. She immediately responded to my inquiry and set up a date to meet. It was clear from the beginning she understood dogs. She was very calm and sweet with our lab Lily. We later left Lily for a long weekend which turned into a very cold, heavy snow few days! Beth made sure Lily still had long, daily walks and fun rolls in the snow. She sent us daily photos and even a video of Lily playing catch which is one of her favorite things to do. We ended up having our flight canceled due to the storm and Beth was so great about keeping her an extra day relieving us of a lot of worry. Lily had a great time during her stay and we will definitely be back again! Thanks so much Beth.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
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 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.
“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: 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 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: 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 send me your phone number upon request of my services plus your cross streets and zip code. I send pics if your wifi is working. Please let me know how often you want pics emailed to you. 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. But, if you want service outside the serving of the evening/morning meal/overnight stay, then please add a walk/visit request to the pricing agreed to on Rover. My visit time depends on the day requested. Periodic Potty Break/walk. care for pet in my lower part of my home. serving of Meals provided by pet owner.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years. I pet sat for family, friends, and clients. I can administer medicine if needed. My schedule is flexible to either come to your house multiple times a day or stay in your house. Just let me know what's needed. I will follow whatever written instructions you leave for me. I can give your pets all the snuggles and walks they need to be happy
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!
“Jahlea was very professional and took good care of my puppy who is still potty training and learning manners. Jahlea made sure she was taken care of and keeps me updated about her progress.”
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: 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.
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.
“Charlotte was incredibly responsive when trying to organize a booking and provided numerous updates for me when she was watching Bear. Her attention to detail and care is wonderful and I will absolutely be using Charlotte again for my pup! I highly recommend her services!”
“Kate is very kind and easy to communicate with. She took great care of my Bella and always asked important questions. I know Bella had so much fun — her daughter played with her, and I’m so happy that my pet had a wonderful time and was well cared for by Kate and her family.”
“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!”
“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: 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.
“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 :)”
“Jeffrey is absolutely amazing! I cannot tell you how much relief I felt leaving my pup with him. Jeffrey was very communicative, gave me many updated and explained how he would introduce my dog to the other pups before I left. Hands down recommend him to anyone!!”
“Alison is the best! We used her for daycare and my dog was so happy she didn’t want to leave. Alison clearly loves dogs and treated Beasley like her own. She came home tired and happy and we will definitely be using Alison in the future!”
“My dog came home happy and exhausted from a long day of playing! Dixie sent me a couple of updates throughout the day and I had no worries at all. Dixie was also very flexible with my crazy work schedule, and at the end of the long day she didn't want my dog to leave because they had such a good time. 10/10 and would definitely use again.”
“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.”
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.
“Murphy had his first stay with Garrison today as a 14 week old puppy!! Thank you for the peace of mind!t He was cared for and played the whole time. I got pictures and updates from Garrison which i loved! We will definitely be booking again. Thank you!”
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 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.
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!
“Heather was fantastic! We came to town in our RV for weekend class reunion. Heather cheerfully came to the TV park to sit with our 12 pound Yorkipoo, Bear. She sent photos and loved on him. Heather was a great communicator too. We highly recommend Heather to watch your furry friends! Sarah and John”

“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 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.
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.
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 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: 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.
“I recommend Christian without reservation. He is extremely responsible, professional, and responsive...and most importantly kind and attentive to the needs and sensitivities of my dog. He is exceptional, and I will continue to trust him with my dog for weekly walks and more!”
About: I have always had a love for animals since I can remember. I rescued and rehabbed two feral kittens that were living under a dumpster to my own rescued pup. I have had guest dogs in my home from tiny to extra large. They always received the same care as my own dog from sleeping in bed with us to plenty of walks and outdoor time. They will be in great, responsible hands with me! I currently have my own business so I make my schedule. I can be flexible with days of the week and times even with last minute notice. I always ensure the pets are secure via leash before leaving the home to go for walks or when they are "in" for the day (crates, baby gate - no matter their set up). I also gather all the information about the animal - any reactions to certain situations, recall cues etc prior to visits.
About: I grew up with dogs and can’t remember a time without one roaming the house. Big or small, I love all dogs and personally had a Great Dane and a jack russell growing up, so I am comfortable with any sized dog! I also grew up with cats and even farm animals like horses, goats and sheep! I work in Honeoye Falls during the week from 7-2:15 so I am free for the rest of the day and all of the weekend. I grew up with a big yard so my dogs had a lot of space to run and exercise and I love taking dogs for walks around town!
About: Hello future employers, I am the best fit to make sure your pet gets the most care and love while under my watch. I am very friendly with pets, and have had much experience taking care of many at once since I was about 13. I also have experience house sitting as well, and make sure that I always show up on time, and be sure to always make sure the job is done correctly. You will have no worries and pets are my passion! We can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch. I Have a good amount of yardage to where your pet would have lots of running space as well! I always make sure to put my pets first as I would for yours! I’m currently just doing this for work since I am doing college full time online, so this job is perfect for me! I will make sure that the dog can go out and play in the yard as well as get lots of cuddles on the couch while i do some school work during the day! There is also lots of hiking trails in the area that take my dogs on frequently, so they would love it
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!

“Kathy and Tim are trustworthy, lovely people that will care deeply for your pet. They are a pleasure to speak with, knowing your dog will be in great hands. I would without a doubt book with them again.”
“This was my first time using River and I could not have chosen a better person to leave my dog with than Kate. She kept me up to date as to how he was doing which did a lot to ease my mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of someone to watch their pets.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Garrison is such a sweet and caring person ! We have had our dogs stay with her a couple of times for weekends away and they always have an amazing time. She is great at giving updates and sending photos of them so we feel like we aren't missing anything. You can tell she really cares for them. We will be having our pups stay with her again !”
“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!”
“I am so thankful I found Samantha to watch my high energy pup when my family went on vacation recently. She and her husband were so good with my guy. She was also very responsive to my constant checking in and sent tons of pictures and videos. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies. She was a true Godsend.”
“Jeffery made ny two rescue pups feel right at home on his lovely farm. Jeffery even watched my 5 month old pup who is still potty training. My girls came home tired and loved. We will definitely book Jeffery 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 was our first time using Rover and we are so glad we found Beth. We had the same dog sitter for 20 years, but she retired and we were nervous about finding a new one. Beth was great right from the start. She immediately responded to my inquiry and set up a date to meet. It was clear from the beginning she understood dogs. She was very calm and sweet with our lab Lily. We later left Lily for a long weekend which turned into a very cold, heavy snow few days! Beth made sure Lily still had long, daily walks and fun rolls in the snow. She sent us daily photos and even a video of Lily playing catch which is one of her favorite things to do. We ended up having our flight canceled due to the storm and Beth was so great about keeping her an extra day relieving us of a lot of worry. Lily had a great time during her stay and we will definitely be back again! Thanks so much Beth.”
About: Hello! I recently moved here from Maryland. After losing our pup in 2023, we decided to wait a bit and last year, added two new fur babies to our house. I really missed that energy in the house. I have had pets my entire life & love my fur babies. I have 3 biological children & 3 step and all of them are animal lovers too :) Having just relocated, I have a pretty flexible schedule and am very open to helping with your needs for your fur baby. I do work a full day on Tuesdays and partial day on Wednesday’s. I will be happy to follow your instructions and schedule for your pet in your home or during walks. I am very courteous of others property and would treat your Home and pet as if they were my own, if not better.
“Pippin loved staying with Julia and her family. They provided him with so much love and care. It was so comforting to receive daily updates and pictures of Pippin making himself quite at home. We are more than pleased with this experience and would not hesitate to have Pippin stay with Julia and her family again.”
