About: My grandparents and mom were professional boarders, breeders, and handlers. I literally grew up on an ex-pen. Once my grandparents retired my mom opened a shop in 2006 and I joined as her certified bather and brusher in 2012. We have had our business ever since.. Taking care of dogs are literlly is in my DNA. I've also worked at a different grooming salon where I was also a bather and brusher. They loved me there because I always made their dogs feel warmed and welcomed by singing to them or giving them a nickname. I personally understand dogs better than humans. It would be my main gig as a job and take priority. I would be available everyday if need be. This is something that I love. Warm and welcomed. Treated as kings and queens who think they're in charge of the house. In or at a client's home respectful of their boundaries they have with their owner and the transition of the separation as they are handed off for their walk. Consoling and compassionate as well.
“Taylor has been walking my dog on a weekly schedule. She has been reliable, honest, communicative, and my dog seems to really like her! I love that she is also a licensed veterinary technician, it provides me with great peace of mind knowing that she is a trained professional.”
About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and truly enjoy spending time with dogs. I have cared for dogs for family, friends, and neighbors, including walking, feeding, playing, giving fresh water, cleaning up after them, and keeping them comfortable while their owners are away. I am patient, gentle, and responsible, and I always try to follow each pet parent’s instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take time to make pets feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because I am usually home and able to give pets regular attention throughout the day. I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they are used to at home. I have a fenced-in house with 4 bedrooms, so I can safely keep pets separated when needed. This is helpful for pets who need quiet space, slow introductions, or extra comfort. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walks, medications, and routines. I keep the home clean, safe, and calm, and I make sure pets are supervised and comfortable during their stay.
About: I understand that pets are family and treat them as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pets unique personality and needs so they feel comfortable and loved. I understand how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so I value communication, updates and photos to let you know your furry family member is cared for. My goal is to make every stay a positive experience. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I have the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My schedule gives me the flexibility for frequent drop ins and trying to maintain a usual routine for a pet. I understand how important consistency and affection is for pets, especially if owners are away. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. I follow the owner’s instructions closely and try to maintain usual routines. I make sure the animal gets everything they need, while also being respectful of my clients’ homes, keeping everything clean and tidy while ensuring pets are safe at all times.
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.
“Aracely let out and fed my puppy midday for 2 months until the end of my school year. She took great care of my little guy. There were two times that she canceled morning of and, with that late notice, I was not able to leave work or get anyone else to take him out. I understand life happens but my little guy did go to the bathroom in his crate both of those days. If I could give 4 1/2 stars, I would!”
About: I've cared for pets of all kinds since l was 10. My experience includes training puppies, caring for senior dogs, administering medication, and providing personalized love and attention. My open availability makes it easy to accommodate your needs. I provide boarding, day walk-ins, and visit-ins to ensure your pet gets the care they deserve. I have a safe, welcoming environment for pets including pet lobby. I prioritize their comfort and safety and tailor my care to each pet's needs.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
