Rachel was very responsive and took wonderful care of our pups while we were away. They warmed up to her almost immediately, and she sent a lot of updates and photos so we didn't feel any anxiety about how they were doing. We will absolutely go with her in the future for any trips we have coming up!

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, lizards, and hamsters! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly adore pets of all kinds. Whether they’re energetic, shy, scaly, fluffy, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own best friend. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible morning schedule and the ability to create my own hours. I love spending as much time as possible with the animals, making sure they feel loved, stay active and engaged through play, and are always safe and well cared for. I live in an apartment complex, so I generally take my dog out every few hours so he can get his exercise, use the bathroom, and enjoy the outdoors. I do the same with those I’m sitting for!

Katelyn has stayed with our English bulldog Ozzy several times and she is fantastic! Our initial meet and greet was very detailed and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She not only takes great care of Ozzy, but she sends lots of updates and makes sure your house is nice & tidy after her stay. Highly recommend Katelyn.

Tatyana was absolutely incredible house-sitting Doobie and Milo for a week! Doobie suffers from anxiety, so I am always extra nervous leaving him, but Tatyana completely set my mind at ease. She was incredibly patient and understanding of his needs, and she kept their normal routine perfectly. I received regular updates and photos showing both Doobie and Milo looking completely relaxed at home. I returned to happy dogs and a spotless house. I cannot recommend her enough!"

Shawna was a life saver! After learning of my MIL’s passing a week before Spring Break, let’s just say, we were having a hard time finding a pet/house sitter. We met Shawna on Tuesday and she was staying at our house with our 2 anxious boys Thursday night. Shawna did everything right making sure the boys were taken well care of and even wanted to vacuum & change sheets in order for our home to be ready for our return. She went above and beyond and we will definitely plan any future trips with Shawna!

Mary did a great job watching our dog and cat for the weekend. She was dependable, easy to communicate with, and took really good care of them while we were away. It was nice knowing our pets were in good hands, and we came home to happy animals. We’d definitely recommend Mary and would use her again.

This was our second time having Sarah stay with our dog. I couldn’t ask for a better experience! Sarah was excellent at keeping in touch, our dog was happy and well cared for. Our dog has some special needs and I always worry about leaving him but Sarah was amazing at understanding him and his needs. The house was exactly as we left it. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Paulina was a lifesaver for us and was able to accommodate a very short request period and provided excellent care. She continually reached out to us with pictures and videos of our puppy and let us know how the day was going. She had very appropriate questions regarding his care and completed all of our requests without issue. We're very lucky to have found her and appreciate the work she does!

About: Hello, I’m Deanna! I have lived in the Buffalo area all my life & previously have had 2 dogs. I currently have a 3 year old dog at home. I have done 100+ services on another platform with a 4.98/5 rating. I am looking for some doggy’s to socialize with, provide them with activity & get some energy out! *Please note I am available for sitting but unable to sleep at the house due to childcare* I work remotely and am available during day for pets that need often check-ins. If your dog cannot be left alone for 4+ hours, I am your girl! I will follow instructions left by owner and check in with the owner if questions arise; everyone has their own routine and I want pet & parent as comfortable as possible.

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the trusted human servant of many adorable dogs and cats! I have experience caring for both small and large dogs, including overnight stays where I make sure pets feel safe, loved, entertained, and spoiled with attention while their humans are away. Whether it’s long walks, couch cuddles, playtime, belly rubs, or keeping up with their normal routines, I’m happy to give pets all the love and companionship they deserve. I work a full time hybrid job that allows me to spend half days at home daily, so I have the flexibility to check in on fur friends and your home at any time! I currently work full time but hybrid so I have the flexibility to stay home with furry friends and provide the care they need most! I always prioritize pet safety by maintaining a clean, calm environments, following routines carefully, securing doors and leashes, and giving every pet attentive, loving supervision.

Forest was great with our pup Sherlock! He stayed with him in our house during the Christmas holidays for 8 days. We stayed in touch during the stay with texts and he sent some pictures. When we came back the dog was happy and our house clean, we couldn’t ask for more! Thank you, Forest!

About: I absolutely adore animals but especially dogs, I worked at a dog kennel for two years, 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!

Christine took great care of our two dogs and our home for a full week. We received updates daily with pictures of the dogs enjoying their time with Christine and came home to the house in fantastic shape. We hope to have Christine again when we’re out of time next!

Sarah took great care of my dog and gave her exercise every day. I liked receiving photos while I was away to see my dog looked happy. I was able to enjoy being away knowing my house and dog were in good hands. I'll definitely re-book with Sarah in the future.
