“Crystal was great! I was sent a video of my dogs and another dog she was watching playing together and it gave so much ease. Picking them up, they were still the happy girls I know them to be and Crystal even took them for a walk with all the playing. More than I was expecting for just the day. Definitely will use her again when back in the area!!!”


“This is my second time writing a review. Sarah is THAT astounding 🤩 I’m so grateful to have found her on this app. My fur baby always leaves so content and falls asleep right away because of how much Sarah plays with her and keeps her active during her stay. 10/10 would recommend Sarah to EVERYONE! ❤️🐕🦺”


About: I bring a calm, confident energy that pets naturally respond to. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior dog who needs a gentler approach. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs, special routines, and administering medications if needed. What really sets me apart is my attention to detail and the love I put into everything I do. I take the time to understand your pet’s unique habits and needs so they feel safe and at ease. I also keep you in the loop with regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, mid-day playtime, or evening snuggles, I can easily adapt to your pet’s schedule and needs. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I can offer plenty of bathroom breaks, play sessions, and supervision—especially helpful for puppies, senior pets, or dogs with separation anxiety. Caring for animals adds so much joy to my routine, and I truly love making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine. Mealtimes, walks, play, and rest. So they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I treat the space with respect and make sure your pet gets the same love and structure they’re used to. In my home, pets have a safe, cozy space to relax, with lots of attention throughout the day since I work from home. I keep things clean, quiet, and low-stress, and I always provide regular updates so you know how your pet is doing.

“Carol is truly a dog lover! It is great that she took our last minute booking as we came in to town to sightsee. Our girl was very well taken care of giving us some free time!”


“Natalie was amazing with our Standard Poodle Bowie. We were a bit nervous leaving him as he can have separation anxiety at times so Natalie made us comfortable with frequent updates and pictures. Highly recommend her!”


About: I have many many years of dog care experience. I grew up with high-strung Dalmations, raised children with Golden Retrievers , loved many Heinz-57s, and am currently a senior with a fabulous Golden Doodle. I’m a stay at home experienced “”Mom” who loves to work around the house (both inside and out) with my four legged friends as companions. On occasion I may make a run to Wegman’s however that kind of errand can be scheduled around my care of your dog. Our dog Chai is an integral member of our family. Chai usually follows me around both inside and outside the house. She loves having play dates with other dogs and is skilled at modifying her behavior to best suit her friends.

About: Dogs and cats are my life thats why i chose my profession. As a professional dog and cat groomer of 17 years, taking care and providing a safe environment for animals is what I love to do. Over the years I have rescued multiple dogs either from a shelter situation or owners that couldn't care for or keep them anymore. Before the pandemic I ran my own TNR ( trap nuetor release) program. Spaying and neutering over 500 feral cats. Rescuing and re-homeing cats that were abandoned including adopting out close to 50 kittens. My grooming shop is on my property. In between clients I am in and out of my home to check on your and my own fur babies. So they will.never be left alone for more than an hour. I have a fenced potty area and over and acre to go for extended walks. I've taken care of puppies to seniors and dogs with special needs. For many years I have taken care of my clients pets when they go on vacation or just need a quiet weekend. I would love to extend my services now to other families and make more furry friends!


“Danielle was awesome! We left our 4 month old GSD with her for the better part of a day. Our pup seemed to be sad to leave her new friends behind when we picked her up. Danielle’s communication and scheduling flexibility is appreciated. We would definitely use her again if in the Buffalo area.”


About: Looking for a loving & fun home away from home for your pet? Look no further! With a golden retriever of my own, for the past 7 years I've taken care of my dog along with 10 other dogs from time to time for periods as short as a couple of days to a couple of months. As a college student in DC, my weekends are wide open to take care of your pet! I also provide services in between my classes. Having a large dog for the past 7 years, our house is "dog proof" while also containing all the amenities (big fenced in yard, toys galore, & a furry companion) any pet needs, your pet will also be on vacation! I can also quickly get acquainted with the safety features & layout of your house! I will make sure to ask any questions that are relevant to dogsitting at your house to make sure your dog's daily routine isn't disrupted

About: I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me! I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town. I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.

About: Hi! I’m Mary. I am a stay at home mom of 5 year old twins and a 12 year old shihtzu mix. I became a dog walker 5 days a week in September of 2024 by chance and realized how much I love it. I’ve been around animals my whole life, currently including my 8 chickens! If you’re looking for a dog walker, I walk in all weather. I can also just pop in and hang out for a bit and let them out for a potty, change litter boxes, feed, etc! I am experienced with all types of dogs, cats, and other animals and I hope to meet yours too! Currently booked for weekly walks 12-1pm on Monday Tuesday and Fridays. Only other commitment is school drop off and pickup for my twins, otherwise open! I am open to all types of animal care and have experience with elderly dogs. I have cared for big and small dogs, cats, chickens, fish, etc.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I love and understand them. I can provide the level of care I would have wanted for my dogs, which was customized and specific with lots of attention. I am a homebody and work from home. I’m used to caring for my dog daily, she sadly just passed at age 14. I’m transitioning in work from a high stress job to finding a more fulfilling path. I go for daily walks on the walking path and of a stroller is needed, I have that too! And a wagon! I have two big fields where I live set far back from the road, a backyard and a walking path behind the townhouse. I can provide a safe, caring and catered environment for your dog while your away.


About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was young. My ability to care for many dogs of all types, I’ve learned while being in animal rescue for 5 years. I work with all kinds of dogs and cats from all ages and backgrounds. I have ability to separate dogs who are not dog friendly with other furry friends. As well as cats. I have a very large fenced in yard and a beautiful neighborhood, and just minutes from the bike path- great for walking! My love for animals is immeasurable. All my spare time I have volunteered with an animal rescue by fundraising, and training dogs in need. I also foster in my home for dogs who are up for adoption. I can’t wait to expand my talents and love for animals by helping in my community.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life as i grew up with them. I’ve taken care of all different age range dogs. I have experience with multiple breeds of dogs also. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to play, walk, feed, love, cuddle. I also walk outside everyday as part of my routine so that would be no issue! I have an overly friendly pup, and two curious cats. I have no problem with free roam animals, or crated animals, anything to keep you and your animal comfortable during your time apart.

My little kitty bonded with her in the matter of a day, and I knew I’d have to have her back. Thank you for your excellent service to a happy client.”
