Doggy Day Care in Black Rock, Buffalo, NY

“Jenn & Brian are really warm, friendly and welcoming. They’re really nice and we felt very comfortable while leaving milo at their place. I informed her about Milo’s neuter and she was really caring and kept sending updates about the stitches as well. I am from Chicago and sad that they’re in NY. If we are in same place I would send milo again and again to them whenever we go on a vacation. Best people ever! Highly Recommended.”

“She was great. She did more with my dog than I do when I’m with her. She helped my on every drop off and pick up. Whenever I’m back in town she will be my first choice. One thousand stars isn’t even enough! Thank you so much. You saved my life by taking care of my Dobie”

About: . As cliché as it sounds , dogs are my life! I am passionate about the way they communicate. I highly enjoyed back when I volunteered at a foster rescue agency in Charlotte, NC. This opportunity polished my skill of handling myself in high pressure and high energy situations when it comes to dogs and cats. Working for Rover, growing up with dogs, and volunteering was another rewarding pet experience I had which gives you basic but hands on independent experience with clients and there furry loved ones. Rover is actually my main job. It’s enough to support yourself as well as I love the schedule flexibility. I am home most of the time and if I do leave it’s usually just to the grocery store or maybe to dinner. I love being home and watching TV or doing some type of new art. I’m studying to attend Animal Behavior College so I can train PTSD Service dogs and maybe even help socialize shelter pups. As I said I am home most of the time minus the normal grocery store run or what have you. They will get frequent potty breaks as well as a nighttime long walk to wind down so shall they stay overnight. If they have any problem areas,I like to dedicate a small slot of time to enrichment aka knowing as training time. Great way to help me practice as well as help any areas a part might need to work on… Not that they’re not perfect as is 😇. I’m a single mom who has my son by myself full-time however, please don’t think that will interrupt the level of care or undivided attention that your pup will have! My son loves animals he absolutely gets so excited whenever I have a client! Due to being a single mother, I am home full-time, and Rover as I said as my main job. Although I don’t even look at it as a job I seriously love what I do. Whenever I do have a client, I like to adapt to whatever your pups schedule is! I don’t mind getting up as early as 6 AM if that’s what they’re used to. I found that it’s better to keep them on the schedule that they have at home as it helps them acclimate to being away from home. I love my clients and I’m very signature with each one. I like to tailor my service based on the clients needs. For instance, if they are an anxious client with separation anxiety, I will sleep in the living room with them so they do not feel alone. I even like to do little blanket forts with my son and the client and that gives them a little den to feel safe in. If they don’t mind being in the bedroom they are more than welcome in there. I give each client free roam of my home. Whether you choose your home or mine, I will focus solely on making sure your fur baby is not only cared for, but stays entertained as well as meet all of their needs accurately and on time. What’s more is that my home is a calm, peaceful, spacious 4 bedroom with a good size backyard. In the backyard, I have a stake leash tie out so your pup can be secured since it’s not fully fenced in but they also will have about a 20 foot diameter to roam around and feel free. I never leave any client unattended out there however just for safety precautions. In my home, I have plenty of guest items in case you forget anything such as toys, food/water bowls, beds, even doggie sweaters in three different sizes for the colder months and doggy boots in two sizes in case it’s muddy/rainy! I offer meet and greets before the sitting so you and your fur baby can get comfortable and acclimated with myself and my home and I can then address any concerns and answer any questions you may have. During the meet and greet I will also ask YOU a few short yet detailed questions to make sure I take the utmost care of your fur baby while you’re away be it in your home or mine! Some of the questions include specific feeding times, vet & ICE information, favorite, toys, and games, and discuss any behavior issues or anxieties and how I can best comfort them! All pups get to go home with a thank you card and a new toy whether it’s a rope, ball, or squeaker depending on what their favorite is! As you’ll see, it’s an option to take care of your pup in your home if you’re more comfortable with that. When you book housesitting, this includes of course, first and foremost, taking care of your fur baby just the way I would at my house but also includes watering any plants, bringing in any packages or mail, and though it’s not specified through Rover, I like to go above and beyond, so I don’t mind doing any laundry or lighthouse cleaning. I assure you when you arrive home your home will be in the same if not better condition then you left it!

“Mariana and Enrique are so sweet and flexible! Our pup takes a little while to warm up to people and they were patient, kind, and he ended up cozying right up to them and having a great time. They also provided lots of photos and updates throughout the day.”

“Meghan and her family were so wonderful with my little chihuahua. I was visiting from out of town, and she was responsive and flexible. I felt completely at ease knowing that my pup was safe and happy with her.”

“I'm the 40 years that I have known Jackie, she has always shown great care for her animals. She is meticulous with their needs. She is also very dependable in her work. She would make a great pet sitter or dog walker.”

“Karlyn worked under me at a Doggie Daycare/Pet Kennel service for about a year. She was a reliable associate. Always punctual, and always great with the dogs (and cats) at our facility. She would be an asset to any team.”

“Nicole is extremely kind hearted, caring and patient when it comes to people and animals. She is my go to whenever I need someone to pet sit (I have two huge black German shepherds that most people are terrified of) and Nicole is amazing with them. She asks questions to make sure she knows their needs (which is greatly appreciated) and I know my pets are always safe and happy in her care. She actually noticed my older dog was favoring his one side more, and because she noticed it I was able to get recommendations and a script from my vet for joint supplements/medication for management and prevention of arthritis/pain. My dogs love her and so do I!”

“Amazing ? ??? great day visit.....very patient & understanding....even when we were running late ? ? ?”

About: I have always been an animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, and with special needs. Let me spoil your cat or dog while you need to step away! I included pictures of past pets that I have owned or cared for. I work from home with a flexible daily schedule, so your precious pet will get non-stop attention. Daycare drop off and pickup hours can be between 6 am and 7 pm. Pickup times after 7 pm would need to be booked as overnight boarding with pickup the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. Currently, I don’t have any pets in my apartment, yet I have plenty of open space for hosting furry visitors. I have worked with many foster dogs who were abused and needed extra attention, so I am sensitive to any special needs your pet may have. I will be glad to take your dog for outside walks at least few times a day! Please let me know of any other needs your pet may have and I will be happy to discuss how I could accommodate.

“Robert D. is the ultimate pet lover and caregiver! I've known him for years, and his dedication to animals is truly remarkable. He's not just a pet sitter or dog walker; he's a trusted friend to every furry companion he meets. Robert's genuine passion for animals shines through in everything he does. You can trust Robert to treat your pet like family, providing them with the care, attention, and love they deserve. I wholeheartedly recommend him as your go-to pet sitter.”

“Holly has been amazing with Kookoo!”

“Khyshwaunna is an extremely responsible and loving pet parent, and extends that same affection toward any animal that she cares for. My dog needed surgery to remove a number of teeth, and had to stay with Khyshwaunna for a bit. She took excellent care of my little guy, making sure he got his medication when needed and feeding him a special diet. My dogs always feel comfortable and happy with her!”

About: Hi! I'm Nicole, I have a lifetime of experience with animals, having been surrounded by them since childhood. Having been raised around dogs, I have developed an innate understanding of their needs, behaviors, and the importance of consistent care. This extensive experience enables me to anticipate and cater to the unique requirements of each animal under my supervision, ensuring their well-being, comfort, and security at all times. My deep-rooted familiarity with canine care equips me with the knowledge and dedication essential for providing responsible and attentive pet sitting services. Besides my affection for dogs, I have developed a deep fondness for cats as well. When a friend had to part ways with her cat, I willingly took her in, without knowing that she was pregnant. Shortly after, the cat gave birth to a litter, and I wholeheartedly committed myself to nurturing them. This firsthand experience, coupled with a genuine affection for cats, equips me with the empathy, attentiveness, and insight vital for ensuring the well-being and contentment of them. I believe I am an ideal candidate for providing professional and reliable cat sitting services, characterized by the same level of care, affection, and understanding that I extend to my own families beloved feline companions. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the insight and capability to understand and meet the unique needs of these animals, making me a dependable and caring pet sitter for both cats and dogs. My experience extends to also raising and working with chickens, and working at a horse stable as a stable hand. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 9AM-3PM, but live only 10 minutes away and have a flexible job which allows me to come home during lunch hours. I am also available in the mornings and evenings outside of work. I am a dependable and trustworthy individual who prioritizes creating a safe and nurturing environment for animals under my care. My early riser routine enables me to attend to the needs of pets promptly, ensuring they are fed and let out at optimal times. Additionally, my flexibility, stemming from my civilian office job and military service, allows me to be readily available to cater to the specific requirements of my clients and their pets. My military experience has instilled in me a strong sense of accountability, responsibility, and appreciation, qualities that transcend into my approach as a pet caregiver, making me a more dependable and responsible person overall.

“Grace is a great dogsitter. She goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs are safe and comfortable. She is very responsible, respectful, dependable, and hard working.”
