Imagine my surprise and delight when I saw my dogs reaction to this loving giving and talented person. Lucky are the dogs that get to be with her with any consistency. My dogs ate well, and played hard and slept like babies after being with Lavinia for 12 hours. I can only pray she will stay with my dogs again.

I'm so thankful that John was able to care for my dog, especially during the holidays! John was very respectful and kind; trying to maintain my dog's daily routine while we were away. My dog can also be a bit difficult in warming up to strangers and with other dogs, but John was great at understanding and working with Wally's behavior. Would recommend John's services at any time!

Chris has watched our dog on several occasions, both in our home and hers. She is a very dependable caregiver who takes pride in looking after others. I would definitely recommend Chris to others. She is experienced handling dogs of all sizes.

Amazing!!! Could not recommend Morgan highly enough!!! She house and pet sat our dog, quaker parrot, rat, and fish for about a week and did a fantastic job! We recieved frequent updates and pictures, and all of our animals LOVED her (even our very finicky bird!). We did 2 meet-and-greets prior to our trip and Morgan was always on time, polite, and professional. She asked lots of relevant questions and really cared for our pets as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone prompt, professional, and great with animals, Morgan is your person!!!

Highly recommend Ronnie- very respectful, timely in communication, flexible and all around great with people and animals. Ronnie is very dependable and kind - particularly when I’ve messaged about my cats when away for long periods of time. Ronnie is easily the top sitter on Rover here in Rochester after working with others in the past.

Jessie is outstanding. She had a calm demeanor and a very trustworthy attitude. She sent us several pictures of our dog, letting us know that all was well. Our home was in great shape when we got back from our long weekend vacation. 5 stars!

Nisha was great! Our animals really took to her, she was very detailed and asked lots of questions to ensure she knew what our expectations were and how to care for our pets. She went above and beyond, and did more than we expected (picking up in the yard after the dogs isn’t necessary on our lot!). Will definitely book her again and highly recommend her.

Portia did a wonderful job watching all our animals. From the moment we first met her we felt reassured. Portia was quick to respond to messages while we were away and sent lots of pictures of all the animals. I never worried about their well-being while away, which made our vacation more enjoyable. Portia left the house in great shape and all the animals seem quite content. Portia even stayed beyond the original end time when our flight got delayed. We are completely satisfied and would 100% use Portia again.

Olivia was everything I want in a person to watch my sweet pup. As someone who considers their dog her first born child, I have a bit of anxiety leaving her with just anyone. Olivia and I met prior to our scheduled sitting time to get to know each other and for her to meet Mills. I instantly felt a sense of comfort while meeting her. What a great person she is which obviously correlates to an incredible sitter. She eased every anxious thought and kept me updated throughout the whole time I was away with pictures! I would recommend her to everyone I know. If you need someone to watch your first born child, book Olivia. She’s amazing and my pup was perfectly tended to if not received more attention than normal! We appreciate you, Olivia!!!

Candace did an amazing job caring for our three kitties while my husband and I had a weekend away. She sent lots of pictures and videos and it was clear they were well loved and in good hands while we were away. We will definitely be using Candace again in the future and cannot recommend her enough!

I would recommend Emma in a heartbeat. Without me asking she made sure my high energy dog was mentally stimulated all weekend, she made him kongs and even used her own items to create mentally stimulating activities. Don’t hesitate to book Emma , you won’t be disappointed

Melaney was absolutely amazing! I can’t say enough great things about her. Vacation was a breeze having her watch our boy while we were out of town. Our house was immaculate when we returned. And we could tell Arlo loved her too! We got text updates throughout the week (which we love)! I would 100% recommend her!

We would definitely hire Silvia again to watch our two dogs! We really appreciated that she made sure to meet with us prior to house/dog sitting, to make sure we all felt it was a good fit between her and our pups. Silvia was knowledgeable about dog behavior and used that knowledge to help our anxious pups feel more comfortable with her. She was very attentive to detail, reading and following all our care instructions and asking questions if things were not clear. Silvia was very communicative, sending us updates about how the pups were doing, and the fun that they were having! Silvia was warm and caring and we felt very confident that our dogs were in good hands. When we returned, we found our house as clean and neat as we left it.
