About: I have loved dogs since I was young. From our family dog Casey to my current dog Jack, I have been caring for dogs large and small, young and old, for 27 years. I am flexible and communicative, offering in-house sitting, drop ins, and walking services. I ensure your dog feels safe and well cared for. I am currently working from home part time, with a very flexible schedule. I am willing to adapt my schedule as much as possible to accommodate the needs of any pet owner. In a client’s home, I aim to follow their normal routine for their pet as closely as possible. With a flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate any pet routine, and am willing to administer any extra care a pet needs.
“Makayla was great with my dogs! She gave them potty breaks and played with them. Had great communication and was timely! Would definitely book again!!”
“Sara! You were amazing with our pup! We had a last minute buffalo trip and she showed up and took care of our billy! She was informative and up to date. We recommend Sara for everyone!! Will be contacting her for our next Buffalo trip!”
“I’m very happy with Melissa’s visits and Patch is even happier. I would definitely recommend Melissa with 5 stars.”
“Erika did a wonderful job with my older, blind, indoor kitty, and the feral cats that I take care of outdoors. She sent me pictures of all of them each time, gave me updates to let me know how they were eating, and the medicine that my one kitty needed to take each day. She also picked up the mail and newspaper for us daily. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a great cat sitter!”
“Christina is a very sweet girl. My 2 kitties went right up to her, Nala is a little shy but she loved her. Christina did an awesome job! I had to book at the last minute and she was able to accommodate us. I will be using her in the future. Many thanks to Rover and Christina for being there ❤️”
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.
“Rachel was very kind and attentive to my dog & I felt very comfortable having her check-in on him from the first day they met. She was always been very prompt and reliable.”
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: Throughout college, I worked at a grooming shop and walked and babysat a handful of dogs for several years. I have experience and am comfortable with big, small, shy, nervous, aggressive, sick, traumatized and old animals, so I can handle whatever your pet might throw my way. And I love to run; I'm happy to run with your dog if they want. I'm also comfortable administering medications, transporting animals, bathing, blow drying, and following training instructions. I wouldn't want to undo any of the hard work you have done. Most importantly, my clients have always trusted me to be an honest and dependable person. Can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I’m a full time student and have a part time job. I have availability on weekends for drop in visits and dog sitting in your home. I also have a car. My dog at home is not good with other dogs, so I will come to your home and follow instructions that you give me about security.
“Michelle took great care of our dogs while we were away. She was on time and sent us pictures and updates for each visit. We even rebooked her for the following weekend.”
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 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!
“Sydney did an amazing Job with Mason.. he is not an easy dog to walk (being bigger than most of his walkers) and he was worn out and had so much fun! Thanks Syndey!”
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: I’ve been taking care of pets since the age of 12. I have dog sat for many relatives, and I take extremely good care of my beagle! I have plenty of free time as I recently graduated college and most of my grad school classes will be online, I also love going on walks, and would love for a furry friend to join me! My full focus is on the safety of the dog. They are like my babies. I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, happy and healthy.
About: I’ve had three dogs of my own for about 12 years. I have two pugs and one frenchie. My oldest dog is 12 and I give him his medicine and help him get around. My middle dog is 8, and my youngest is 1. I feed my dogs, wash them, walk them, play with them, and administer their medicine. I have experience with older dogs and younger pups and helped my new puppy beat bronchitis! I am currently in college so I an unable to visit from 9-2 Mondays through Fridays but after 2 I am free. My weekends are also free. I get along with all breeds, I’ve been around pugs french bulldogs, labradoodles, english bulldogs, german wire haired pointer, german shepherds, pitbulls, and havaneses. I am very caring and patient as well.
