About: I've always had a passion for animals since I was very little. I was never able to have them of my own growing up because my dad was highly allergic. Once I graduated high school I moved out and rescued my first dog from a backyard breeder. He is a Pitbull mix. 4 months later I rescued my golden saint from a hording situation which ended up in all of her animals getting taken away. I realized I wanted to help save more animals so I ended up becoming a foster mom. My first foster was a 7 year old Rottweiler named Sabrina. I only had her a short 3 months before I was told she had a stomach tumor that was not curable. I unfortunately made the decision to get her cremated and the last words I said to her was " I promise I will save as many animals like you as I possibly can." I kept that promise to her after 8 years already and plan to for many many more! Fast forward to today, I have the same 2 dogs and added one more to my little family. He is a Catahoula Leopard dog and was my first foster fail. I wanted to extend my experience even more so now I pet sit/dog walk as well! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, aggressive dogs as well as dogs with high anxiety I have taken care of all sorts of animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, snakes, miniature pigs, and of course cats and dogs! I treat every animal like my own and I guarantee I will become their best friend! My goal is to eventually own a building and name it in Sabrina's memory:) I am currently working part time at UPS from 4am-8am (for the health benefits) so I will have plenty of time during the day and night to play with your fur baby! I am available for in home stays in your own home, overnights, drop ins, and dog walks on week days and weekends. If you see a date that is marked unavailable please still reach out to me as I might have some spots open or a last minute cancellation for those days. It is first come first serve so book while the dates are still available! In home/overnights- This includes play time, bathroom breaks, food and water replenishment, medication administration, baths if needed, multiple walks, picture/video updates, and lots of snuggles! Drop ins- This includes food and water replenishment, bathroom breaks and a little bit of play time! Dog walking- I offer 1/2 hour walks and 1 hour walks

About: Hello! My name is Jessica. I have been a licensed veterinary technician for 4 years. I work part time at an exotics only clinic. If you have any small companian animals, reptiles, or feathered friends that need care please feel free to ask me! The goal of my job is to relieve the stress you may have from not being able to come home to your beloved pets, or to know that they are in safe hands if you go on a trip. I do have a full-time job near Clarence, NY. I work 7:30am to 4pm Monday through Friday. I do get hour long lunches and can stop for lunch visits if you are close. As a veterinary technician I can monitor your pet more closely in case they are sick. Since I do not know your pet or how they react in certain situations, I would take extra caution when going outside or for walks to make sure I keep them safe.

About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for a year, which has helped me to gain experience around dogs of any and all different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments/requirements. I have been dog sitting/walking and doing overnight stays for 3 years and take great pride in taking care of your pet as if they’re my own! I am working part time at a kennel right now, however my shifts are very short (5 hours max but typically 2.5-3 hours). I get my schedule on a week to week basis, so if you want to guarantee that I have the availability to watch your pup, let me know at least 2 weeks in advance and I will happily request off from work to help you out (please still feel free to reach out even if its less than 2 weeks in advance, I likely will still be able to help you out). Having such short shifts, im available for pop-ins and walks the majority of the day, however there should be no problem with staying overnight as my latest shift is from 8:15-9:15pm at the kennel for let out. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own to ensure their safety and enjoyment for the time I am with them, as well as making sure your home is safe while you are away. I will follow any and all instructions that are given to me to guarantee everything runs smoothly and that your pup has a great and safe time!

“Shauna was great with out two dogs. She took great care of them and took care of the house. She kept us updated and sent pictures throughout her stay. I highly recommend her and will be asking her to dogsit again.”


About: Hi there! I'm Becca. I love animals and grew up living and helping on my family’s beef cattle farm. I have cared for a large variety of pets and farm animals since I was young. My clients typically own cats and/or dogs, but I have also cared for clients’ horses, donkeys, alpacas, goats, chickens, aquarium pets, fish (etc.). I currently still live on the family farm, and personally own a horse and four sheep. I also help care for the family dog and cats. I have 10+ years of in-home pet sitting experience. I offer in-home pet care and house sitting with overnight stays and would love to care for your pet(s) while you’re away! I work on the farm and freelancing jobs so I can usually create my own work schedule aside from a few times where it’s dependent on others’ schedules. With that being said, I am accommodating as possible around my own work schedule. I could leave from your home and return after work. Some days I won’t have work at all. If this schedule works for you and your pet(s), I look forward to working with you! I understand that every pet has their own unique care. Each animal’s specific routine is important. I will learn their likes and dislikes and what works best for your pet(s)!

About: I view pets as part of the family and will treat your fur baby same way. I can come walk,play give treats and pets. Make sure water is clean and full. I am knowledgeable in meditation administraton and care for senior dogs as well as puppies and dog behavior in general. Working part time. It would be great for weekly but also here and there works too! Let me know what your looking for hopefully we can make it work! I am a foster mom and volunteer for Buddy's second chance, so I have lots of exposure and experience. I also have a fenced yard and taught my dogs neighborhood etiquette but have lots of leash walking experience and I am well versed on dog behavior. I carry treats to encourage trust and respect boundaries.

About: Hi! I’m Mary. I am a stay at home mom of 4 year old twins and two dogs. I became a dog walker about 6 months ago by chance and realized how much I love it. I’ve been around animals my whole life! I had dogs and cats growing up. We currently have a female shihtzu mix and a male yorkie mix, both over 10yrs old and big couch potatoes. We got them both as tiny puppies and they’ve been my babies since before I had (human) babies! Everyone in my family has at least 2 dogs, so we are used to being around a lot of them, big and small! Our family get togethers often have more dogs than people! We had outdoor cats growing up in the country. If you’re looking for a dog walker, I walk in all weather, rain, shine or snow! I am experienced with all types of dogs and cats and I hope to meet yours! I am a stay at home mom and my twins have preschool from 12-2:30 during the day. I walk 2 Portuguese Water Dogs from 12:15-1:15 every day. Other than those two commitments I am pretty openly available! I have two small older dogs who like to bark at first, but then just go lay back down on the couch. I also have two small children, four fish and about 10 chickens! I am available to hang out at your house or bring your pup to hang out at mine :)

About: I have a 15 year old Rottweiler she's been part of our family since I was a child I trained her myself. I currently have three kitties one who is elderly, she is 12 years old and requires daily medication in addition to a special diet. So animals with daily meds or specific diets are something I'm very accustomed to. I have one kitty who is five and he is missing his left rear leg so I am familiar with complex or special needs animals. Over the years I have sat for many friends and family I have cared for reptiles including chameleons, a red eyed crocodile skink, leopard geckos, fish tanks, kitties, large dogs both young and elderly, small dogs both young and elderly. I've been around animals all my life. Over the last 4 years at least once a year I house sit for my one of bestfriends who has three cats, two large breed dogs. (Cane Corso Australian Shepherd mix and Pitbull black lab mix), five fish tanks and a room of reptiles. I also yearly house it for my other best friend who has also has two larger breed dogs( German Shepherd and German Shepherd Great Dane mix) and four cats. Currently my job schedule has changed leaving me free most days to spend time with your babies and make sure that they are all set into the evening, be around to do whatever their normal dinner time routine would be. As well as to get them comfortable and set up for the rest of the night/ Bedtime I prefer to house sit where your babies are comfortable, in their home. I'm a visitor in their space, that typically makes them more comfortable. And I feel more secure that way as well. Knowing that your babies are somewhere safe, comfortable and familiar to them to eases them. Being in their own environment makes pawrents leaving a lot less stressful.

About: I’ve been working in the veterinary field for 6 years and have had tons of hand in training in emergency care as well! I work with large and small animals and can also groom your pets as well! My schedule is very flexible and and I can accommodate to any needs! I just need at least a weeks notice, which would be much appreciated! I have had years of training and hands on experience caring for pets in all matters of their health and wellness and would be able to give your pets the best care!
