Sierra did a great job taking care of my pug, Mac, who requires daily medication and can be grumpy at times. She provided updates of each visit and included photos and videos as well. Will definitely use again!

Spencer did a great job with a drop-in visit for my two cats, Zu Zu and Mr. T. He was prompt, thorough, and made sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I appreciated the attention to detail and the care he showed for my cats. I’d definitely recommend Spencer to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!

About: Open to care for any friendly dogs while you're away! Relatively young (22), and thus have energy to play with them a bit more than older sitters. I'm currently looking for jobs so I will have an open schedule for the foreseeable future in terms of pet care. Would prefer afternoons and weekends, however. Care for dog at my own home by resting next to her whenever I am free and she is willing, as well as giving her walks. I will do the same for any clients' pets, of course varying on the animals' personality/lifestyle.

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 have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as walking and helping care for my neighbors’ dogs. Through this, I’ve learned how to safely walk dogs, follow feeding routines, give lots of attention, and recognize when a dog may need a break or extra care. I’m comfortable with different personalities and understand how important patience and consistency are for pets. I’m available after school on weekdays and I have more flexible availability on weekends. I’m reliable, punctual, and always communicate clearly about scheduling and updates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow instructions carefully, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure they’re always in a safe, calm environment. I treat every pet as if they were my own and respect owners’ routines, rules, and preferences.

About: I have grown up with dogs since an early age, ranging in multiple breeds and temperaments. I am passionate about ensuring animals have a safe and happy environment to thrive in, both as a pet owner and advocate in the community. I have attended several training classes with my own dogs, and model a loving, structured approach to promote your pet’s safety and wellbeing. Although I do not currently own a dog due to my residence restrictions, I routinely walk multiple friends’ dogs, and often stay in home with them. I am comfortable with all ages, as I have cared for seniors with medical conditions and young puppies. I understand it’s not always easy leaving your furbabies, and I want to provide a fun, engaging environment for your best friend. I look forward to taking care of your pup soon! I am a single mom employed full-time but primarily do remote work in the afternoons, thus I have flexibility for walks throughout the day. I would prefer to accept in-home stays on Saturdays-Wednesday but am happy to make adjustments if it is the right fit. I am a firm believer in gentle structure, and am happy to enforce any crate training, leash restrictions, and training/skills that you request. I want to promote a safe and trusting relationship so that you have reliable care!

Kevin kept an eye on my cats while I went away for Christmas. He was awesome! He was attentive to the cats when he came over, cleaned the litter boxes and gave them cat food. He even took the time to warm up and play with them for a while when he came over. I’ll definitely be using Kevin again anytime I need a drop in visit!

About: I've been around animals ever since I was born (dogs, guinea pigs, cats, hamsters), and I've taken care of pets for 20 years. As a kid, I pet sat consistently for many neighbors down my block. I love animals and care deeply about every pet's well-being. Animals make me genuinely so happy and any chance I get to be around them, I'll take it! I currently work full-time with 3 days in the office and 2 at home. I am available evenings (5:30pm and on), mornings (6:00am to 8:00am) and I am flexible on the weekends. I will work hard to accommodate your schedule--so just send me a message and we can chat! Thank you for considering my services. I am most available on the weekends but can accommodate days during the week as needed as I do work from home 2 days a week. I am currently only doing drop-in visits for 30-60 minutes or weekly walking. I am not doing overnight or full house sitting at the moment. I will ensure the best care for your pet in their home by spending time with them, giving them the proper attention they need and, making sure they feel comfortable with me there! You will never have to worry while they are in my care. I will pay special attention to older dogs and dogs that need medication.
