Dog Walking in Rochester

“Winna is an extremely reliable, responsive and caring daily walker for our lovable but rather stubborn 8 yr old dachshund mix. She feeds her and has patiently coaxed her to longer walks. Huge thanks to Winna for all your efforts!”

“Matthew took our high energy high anxiety pup for walks twice a day while I took care of my terminally ill mom. He was reliable, friendly, and wonderful with Evie. Thank you Matthew!!!”

“Lavinia is outstanding with our sweet rescue pup! She’s patient, kind and knows how to engage Macie Grey in the comforting way that she needs. Thank you Lavinia! Joanne, Alison & Macie ?❤️”

“Maria is amazing. Abby loved her from the first meet and greet. She is promp, semds pictures and communicated well. I feel so much better knowing that Abby has her visit to look forward to when I am at work .”

“Ronnie did a great job walking my Minnie girl for me! I appreciated him coming so last minute- glad to have a good person to help keep Minnie entertained ☺️ thank you!!”

“Jess is great with our dogs! We have two VERY nervous dogs, that take time to adjust to new people. Jess was willing to come over and meet our dogs multiple times so they were comfortable with her entering our home when we weren't there. She takes great care of them. I feel at ease while at work, knowing she's coming over to love them up and take them for a walk.”

“Ellen was so sweet! She met Remi beforehand and she was extremely prompt and took Remi on two walks in one day—extremely pleased and will definitely be booking again!”

“Teddy’s newest friend is John! I see that John is Very efficient and he accepts Teddy for who is. Our little concern is always Ted’s safety and John is firm but friendly with him.. Gold Stars to John!”

“Tina was very friendly, right on time for pick up & drop off! She shared all the things he did on the walk! I would definitely request her services again!”

“Rebecca is amazing! So diligent and organized and detailed. She is a true professional with loads of experience, and I feel so good about leaving my pup in her care.”

“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”

“I can highly recommend OatlynKiki as a pet caregiver and dog walker. I have a 15 year old Shih Zhu whom OatlynKiki prepared tasty, nutritious meals and walked daily. My dog was safe on his walks(properly harnessed) and treated kindly. I felt that OatlynKiki was extremely responsible and reliable. OatlynKiki has a genuine love of animals, is honest and can be trusted.”

“Emily is lovely and my Maddie immediately felt comfortable with her. I was able to schedule with her same day which is great. We will definitely be contacting her regularly. ?”

“Crystle has been amazing with dogs! She’s always reliable and on time for walks, and she also has taken great care of our pups while we’ve traveled.”

“I can’t begin to express how grateful I am to have met Portia. She is SO skilled with challenging dogs, as evidenced by her work with my pup. Winston is known at his vet as “that dog (somewhat affectionately😆). He is a reactive, anxious rescue who takes a very long time to warm up to people; I knew it might be a struggle to find a regular walker for him. Portia has been incredibly patient, kind, and diligent in working with Winston. I’m thrilled that she’s earned his trust, because now I can stay at work all day without having to worry about running back during my lunch break to walk him. I’ve told many of my pet-parent friends about Portia, since she’s so incredible with Winston- I imagine she’s the same with other animals! I give Portia my very highest rating; Winston and I are incredibly lucky to have her in our lives!”

“Andrew was on time and totally respectful. He was very calm with our hyper puppy and did a great job of letting the pup come/warm up to him. We had a few requests (sitting at sidewalks and heeling by people) that make walking the pup a little more work. Andrew was more than happy to work with all of our requests. Definitely recommend!”

“Brett walked our dog twice in one day with very last-minute notice. He sent videos and updates at each visit, which were very sweet! He even noticed that she had chewed something up and cleaned up the mess. He was on time at each walk and gave Remi a nice long walk each time! Definitely planning on hiring him in the future.”

About: I've grown up caring for cats, rabbits and dogs! I also have experience raising chicks/chickens, and some experience caring for pigs, horses and goats. I've recently adopted a large senior dog, and have two cats (and a fish) of my own. Housesitting includes plant-care (indoor and out) as needed, trash days and mail/delivery collection. I'm in school, so M/W I'm available before noon or after 4pm. T/Th I'm available before 7am or after 2:30pm. Fridays-Sun I'm usually openly available! My priority while pet sitting is your pets! If they love walks or socializing, I'll be sure they have the best "stay-cation" while your away too! For pets that stay-in (such as cats and rabbits), play and quality time for me is key- keeping them active and distracted while parents are away is so important to me.

“She is great with our 2 cats. We just need someone to stop by and feed them and change their litters. Always punctual and the cats don’t seem to mind her. She’s always super clean as well. Every time we come back, our house is always clean and neat. Definitely love the extra touches!”

“I cannot say enough about how much Dani loves dogs. Dani has a golden retriever named Hank who is so well behaved, gentle, and loving and that is all due to her. He is the love of her life and she will treat everyone’s dog the same. She will be an excellent care giver when their owners can’t be with them.”
