About: We’re a family of five who has plenty of love in our hearts and home to share with your furry friends ❤️ My husband and I both grew up with dogs. Additionally, I have also raised two dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. We had to say goodbye to our beloved, old shitzu this past year. Our kids (12,10, and 5) are really missing having a dog around and we thought this would be a great next step for our family. Feel free to reach out with any questions! We would love the chance to keep your dog company 🐶 I am a homeschool mom, so my girls and I are home much of the time. My husband can work from home or pop home anytime as his work is just a mile from home. We seek to treat any animal and their owner with honesty, respect, and kindness. We are people of our word who can be counted on. We seek to keep our home a safe place for pets (and our kiddos) and would do our best to accommodate any needs your pet might have. References are always available for peace of mind.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs since I was a kid. I’ve always had a big heart for dogs and love showing them care and attention. As I’ve gotten older, my love for dogs has only grown. I enjoy being around them, playing with them, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Depends on my college schedule but i’ll make time for dogs to care. I’ll like to glad to make time whenever you can. I’m a dog lover I understand that trusting someone with your dog is important. I will provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment. I also want owners to communicate with me about their dog’s needs, routines, and behaviors.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for animals. I’ve raised puppies and kittens of my own all the way until they were old and frail. I also currently have a 2.5 year old Golden Retriever, so I’m very comfortable with the energy, routines, and attention that pets need. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’ pets while they’ve been out of town, and I pet sat as a side gig during college. These experiences have given me plenty of practice caring for different personalities, following individual routines, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would treat your pets like my own! And I’m obsessed with my high maintenance dog. I’m a nurse and work four days a week, which means I have weekends and one weekday off each week. My weekday off varies, but I typically know my schedule about 8 weeks in advance. I’m pretty flexible on my days off, so I’m generally very open when it comes to scheduling pet care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and your needs! I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any other specific instructions you provide. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of attention and affection so they feel as comfortable as possible in their own home. Since I have dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m also always happy to give thorough updates as well!

“great with our guy! thank you!”

About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.

“Karibian is exactly what I was looking for! She is extremely friendly, trustworthy, and dependable. Karibian keeps clear communication regarding walks and my dogs activity during! I especially appreciate her flexibility and attentiveness to my pets. From the pictures on his Rover cards, I can tell Gilbert is extremely comfortable with Karibian and loves her, even my cat comes out to play! Highly recommended!!!!!”

About: I’ve serviced the community with dog sitting and walking over the span of 4 years. Growing up, my family took care of foster dogs, giving me experience with a wide variety of canines. From stubborn old timers to anxiously attached pups, I approach each animal with patience and understanding. I also have experience caring for parrots! I'm a graduate student, so have availability throughout the entire week. I’m also available for overnights during the week and weekend (if I’m not already booked up). Shoot me a message if you have any scheduling questions! I strive to provide excellent and professional care when pet sitting in my clients home. I always leave my environment cleaner than when I found it and leave any closed doors undisturbed. I make sure that collars and harnesses are properly secured before exiting the home.

About: Hi there! My name has since changed to *Romeo* as I am queer :) Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15. Professionally, I am currently a counselor at Camp Bow Wow! I’ve been working there for over a year now, learning and applying a wide range of skills. In this role I’ve learned some key skills on how to ensure companions are safe and happy: 1. Body language: I observe everything from your dog’s head to tail to minimize reactivity due to human- animal misunderstandings 2. Health indicators: although I’m not a vet, I was trained to recognize irregular symptoms a dog may be displaying such as stool texture and consistency, body temperature, excessive panting and drooling, gum color, etc. Anything your dog may be struggling with from itchy skin to something greater, I’ll notify you right away! 3. Communication: parents love hearing about their babies and seeing them happy and comfortable! By regular communication, this allows me to get clear instructions to follow, assess any changes needed in care or routine, and stay up to date in case of any rapid changes or emergencies. In addition, what sets me apart is my artistic attention to detail, which allows me to adapt to your dogs needs in a creative way. I like to challenge myself by finding ways to stimulate and enrich your dog while you are away! I’m very relaxed, quiet, and easygoing, but also spontaneous and go-with-the-flow should your dog get the zoomies! I’ll get mine out with him :) Lastly, I respect peoples spaces/ privacy and always clean up behind myself after using something in your space. I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. Your baby is not just a pet, they are our best friends who depend on us. So Relax while you’re away, and leave the fun stuff to me! Looking for regular/ recurring clients :) I currently work part time on weekdays, twice a day for up to 7 hours. This is subject to change within the next few weeks to ensure I have time to House sit efficiently. Please reach out to me with questions about this, and I’d be happy to negotiate! I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be. Cleanliness is a priority for me. Cleaning up waste properly and right away is a must, including picking up poop during walks.

“Things are working out great with Stephan. Minka seems to be at ease with him and that makes me very happy. Stephan has what it takes to give Minka what she needs and I couldn’t ask for more.”

About: I grew up around animals. I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, rabbits and fish throughout my life. I have also taken care of friends pets when they’ve gone out of town. I am comfortable with large and small dogs, cats, and caged animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children. I live on a quiet street in an apartment and look forward to walking with your dog at my home or yours. I am comfortable working with multiple kinds of collars and leashes.

“Corwin was very flexible and communicative throughout the week. Our dogs really enjoyed him (as evidenced by the many excellent photos he took throughout the day)!”

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am also a Licensed Practical Nurse (for humans)! I have cared for neighbors, friends, friends-of-friends’ pets and am very trustworthy and caring. For most days, I’ll be home all day. I am pet-sitting and occasional babysitting at the moment so I will be there for your pet! I feed, walk, play, cuddle and give lots of love to all the fur babies and will do whatever else is requested (light housekeeping, vet appointments, etc.)

“Our mini Aussiedoodle Luna is a full of energy and it’s always a little bit anxious when meeting new people, we can not said enough on how Stephanie and Dan were able to get her comfortable with the idea in so short time. Needles to said, what wanted to have was peace knowing that we were leaving her behind for a weekend. And that’s exactly what we got leaving Luna to their care.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every age, size, and personality since I was a little kid. Bathing, walking, and playing with my family’s or friends’ pets was a regular part of my day to day growing up. I have experience with training puppies and anxious pups, as well as providing necessary medicine to both dogs and cats. I formerly worked for Indy Pets Concierge, and thereby have lots of experience doing both drop-ins and overnights. I’m currently seeking part-time employment but am presently unemployed, so my weekdays and weekends are open to as much pet sitting as potential clients require! My pet care approach incorporates communication and soothing techniques specific to dogs and cats. Unless assured otherwise, I am sure to keep an eye on pets as they play outdoors. When going on walks along roadsides, I walk on the outside of the path (nearest the street) to be sure the dog is safe from incoming cars or bikes. I want to foster positive, loving relationships with each animal I encounter; in order to build a dynamic of trust I make sure to be patient, let them smell me, and talk to them in a calm tone. I have a dog who is happy to play with other dogs and would love to keep your furry friend company — he’s a giant teddy bear! I’m cautious of tics and making sure vaccinations are up-to-date so as to ensure physical health between animals.

About: A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, I'm currently a flutist with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra! I've been missing my spunky dog Kora who lives back home and have always grown up with dogs, which is why I've been a sitter for Rover since I moved here in 2021. Since then, I have done dog sittings, cat sittings, and even bird sittings! I love going for walks/runs, just hanging out, or curling up in the couch at home-- hopefully your dog loves some of these too! I've been taking care of dogs in total for around 15 years now, so I'm used to taking them out fairly frequently, getting up early for a morning walk, and bathing them. I am more than happy to take your dogs on a walk, or drop in and make sure they're well-fed and happy. I'm most experienced in home-care and will happily take care of your furry friends and house in whatever capacity you need! I've raised my dog Kora from puppyhood and am very familiar with the training required for puppies and dogs with reactivity. I have also fostered a handful of dogs (small dogs and large dogs alike) over the last few years and have experienced shy dogs who take some time to come out of their shells :) As a musician, I have a few hours here and there scattered throughout my day that I can walk or stop by/watch your pup. I'm a very active person and love being outside! I am more than happy to be outside/in your home with them as well! I unfortunately cannot house your furry friends because of my housing situation.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two Beagles of my own. I have years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as dog sitting for friends, family, and other pet owners. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to keep up with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend most of the day with the pets in my care. I can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I have a spacious home with a large, mostly fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely get outside and play. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep pets’ routines, comfort, and safety a priority. I also have two friendly 20-pound Beagles who enjoy gentle play and would provide company for dogs who are comfortable around other dogs.

“Amanda makes my dogs day he’s so happy thank you for taking such great care of my boy and giving him his treat.. we’ll book with you again *****five star dog sitter*****”

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and would care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I grew up with both large and small dogs, from Shih Tzus to Rottweilers, and now have Huskies of my own. I’ve also grown up with cats and currently have a Maine Coon. My love for animals extends beyond dogs and cats—I also have a saltwater aquarium that brings me so much joy, and I’ve had a passion for wildlife and all kinds of animals from a young age. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pets and give them the same love, attention, and care I give my own. I’m happy to help in any way I can! I work nights, so I have plenty of availability every morning and afternoon. I’d love to use that free time to care for and spend time with animals who need a little extra love and attention while their families are away. If you have a fenced-in yard, I’d love to let your pups run around, play fetch, and get all those zoomies out! We can also go for walks, enjoy some sunshine, or simply spend some quality time playing and relaxing together. My goal is to make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and fun while they’re in my care!

“Skylar is the best! Always super attentive to our pup!”
