Book now“Reactive dog lover!”
Hello! I am a dog lover with experience in volunteering at rescues, fostering, dog sitting/boarding and adopting a 85 lb reactive pup. Through these experiences, I am comfortable with all sizes and temperaments and can’t wait to meet your pup(s)! For training, I use positive reinforcement techniques and am familiar with balanced training. BAT (behavior adjustment training) uses positive reinforcement and is where I’ve seen the most success.

Sarita is amazing. She was so attentive to my dogs needs and updated me on all of his new learning. It was so so great trusting in her to care for him and listen to his wants and needs while reaffirming some of the training happening at home. Thanks Sarita!!

Best Dog Friendly Neighborhoods in Rochester
55th Street NW/Bandel Road NW
55th Street NW/Bandel Road NW
River Road and Essex Park Off-Leash Dog Area is a mouthful, but to your dog it’s a mouthful of of freedom. This large designated area of Essex Park is fenced and ready for romping. Your dog has a variety of spaces, from open grasslands to woodchip trails, to keep them happy and take care of their paws. The other park in the neighborhood is Buckridge Park. Your dog can enjoy leashed walks on trails or lunch at the multi-use picnic tables. It’s a hit with pets and pet-parents both.
50th Avenue/65th Street
50th Avenue/65th Street
Jean & Carl Frank Canine Park North brings off-leash fun to the 50th Ave/65th Street neighborhood in Rochester. This large play park is designed to keep your dog interested, with a variety of trees/shrubs for sniffing and year-round access to off-leash romping and dog friends. This neighborhood also has access to Douglas State Trail. A former rail line turned hiking experience, Douglas State Trail is a great place to explore with your pup. Expect to meet other hikers, busy sniffing dogs, and even equestrians on this leashed-only trail!
City Center
City Center
Cooke Park, next to Cascade Creek, is an oasis in the heavily built up City Center neighborhood of Rochester. Leashed dogs can walk the trails, enjoy the picnic tables, or drink from a few dog-friendly fountains. If you take your dog down to the water in the summer months, he’s allowed off-leash for swimming--just be sure you can get him back on leash before heading back to the rest of the park! Then get a snack at Forager Brewery, where dogs are always welcome on the patio, and the drinks and pub food are flowing.
Slatterly Park
Slatterly Park
Slatterly Park, conveniently located within the Slatterly Park neighborhood of Rochester, is a great walking experience for dogs and dog-lovers. Bear Creek flows through the park, bringing not only wildlife but opportunities to cool down on a hot summer day. The rest of the time, leashed dogs can enjoy not being in the water just as much. After a hard day of swimming, romping, threatening squirrels, and relaxing, hungry dogs and their people can relax at Roscoe’s Root Beer and Ribs. There’s plenty of outdoor seating and lots on the menu to get excited about, from burgers to ribs.
Chester/Marion
Chester/Marion
Smetka Park and Meadow Park are two on-leash parks in Chester/Marion that are great for exercising your dog. Do loops of the park to burn off energy or work up stamina. They’re solid five tail wag parks. Jean & Carl Frank Canine Park is simply off the wag-o-meter, however. This large, fenced, off-leash romp zone is the best park in the neighborhood, and maybe all of Rochester. It has open areas and wooded areas, and opens into walking paths for leashed dogs. This popular park is open year-round and almost always has visitors ready to run and play.
