Dog Sitting Amherst

About: I have taken care of my parents, family friends, and roommates animals since I was a teenager. I’ve house sit with cats and dogs. From hyper puppies to laid back kitty cats I am here to help. I’ll walk, feed, give lots of love, and attention to your beloved pet. ***I apologize, I will not be available all of August or the beginning of September 2023. I am in the process of moving. I will update my location soon. Thank you for your understanding.*** I do work full-time Saturday through Wednesday, it’s best for me to do check in’s and dog walks for a couple hours in the day. I also do house sitting with your pet, so they aren’t alone at night. I live with my roommates kitty named Nelly, I love her up and feed her whenever my roommate isn’t around. However, I cannot bring animals to my home, because I rent the property and other animals are not allowed. I would be happy to come into your home and provide care and love to your fur baby.

“We booked Madison for drop in visits with our dog Milo. Madison was responsible and wonderful with Milo! Her love for animals certainly shines through her personality! Thank you Madison!”

About: I have been caring for and about pets since as long as I can remember. I have almost 10 years of professional pet sitting and doggie daycare experience under my belt as well almost 10 years of teaching groups classes as well as private lessons for dog training. Prior to my professional, career orientated, experience I have been watching pets for friends and family since i was 17. I was actively involved in the animal rescue world for 10 years starting when I was 18. Your pet will be treated as one of my own and will integrate into my household with my family right alongside my pets. I will adhere to your household rules. If your pets are allowed on furniture, not a problem my couch is basically an oversized bed for my own pets. If you prefer your pets not be on furniture I will discourage that with them to not send them home with any bad habits. I have had many repeat clients over the years and have loved them all as I do my own pets. I have recently resigned from my employment that took me away from the home for longer hours so that I may focus on pet sitting at a full time level. I am home full time now to allow caring for your baby to be my main priority. My repeat clients have become an extention of my own family. I love and care for all the pets as if they are my own. I can often times accomodate last minute requests for REPEAT clients as a meet and greet will no longer be needed. Meet and greet is a mandatory requirement for any new clients. I do request that drop off and pick up be completed no later than 8 pm, 7 pm being preferred latest time. Daycare is only offered from the hours of 7am to 6 pm. Any booking requests past 6 pm should and will be considered boarding. The latest accepted drop off or pick up times is 7 pm. Thank you for your understanding. My yard is fully fenced to allow for lots of outdoor playtime (weather permitting) as well as frequent potty breaks. While your furbaby is with me they will be able to play with my 2 friendly and respectful dogs. During the warm weather months your pup can enjoy the kiddie pool or learn some new tricks with agility equipment. Pets are never left unsupervised while outside and will be crated for their safety when necessary. I remove collars to avoid any risks either in a crate or during play. I REQUIRE all dogs be current and on flea and tick prevention as well as up to date on rabies and dhpp vaccines with proof provided. I HIGHLY encourage the bordetella and leptospirosis vaccines but they are not a requirement. Your dog's safety and happiness is my number 1 priority.

“We have gotten Lauren’s service in long and short term. She is reliable and caring to our oreo cookie. Our dog loves her. I can tell she has been very nice to our dog. I recommend her.”

“Olivia was very personable. She did 2 drop in visits a day for my cat Gracie, who took to her right away. Gracie is on a raw food diet which required fresh food twice a day. Gracie ate well, not losing any weight, which meant she felt very comfortable with Olivia. I recommend her completely. She was wonderful.”

About: Hi! I’m Emma, and I absolutely love animals! 🐾 I’m a proud pet mom to a husky mix, a cat, and a bearded dragon, and I truly believe pets are part of the family. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, and hamsters. I also worked at a doggy daycare in college and have experience with dog walks and drop-in visits. I love taking long walks, teaching dogs new tricks, and, of course, giving lots of cuddles! Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a little extra attention, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like I treat my own—with lots of patience, attention, and love! ❤️ My schedule is very flexible, especially during the summer! I’m freely available for most of August, so I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Once the school year begins, I’m available for pet care before work on weekdays until 7 AM and after work starting around 4 PM. I’m also available throughout weekends, school holidays, and breaks. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and do my best to accommodate your schedule! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs and will follow your care instructions carefully. I’m attentive to details and will always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are secure. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I’ll never force interaction if your pet needs space or time to warm up. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want from someone caring for my own animals. ❤️🐾

About: My biggest concern while I’m away on vacation is “how are my dogs doing?” They are like my children. I have used Rover in the past to watch my dogs and home while I’m on vacation. I want to be that trustworthy person for someone else. I have ALWAYS been an animal lover! I have rescued dogs, I’ve fostered dogs and watched dogs for friends and family. I have two Golden Retrievers at home who love to have company come over and play in the fenced in backyard. I am looking forward to taking care of your Furbaby like they are my own I work Full-time but am able to leave for lunch to take care of any pets needs during the day. Right now I go home everyday on lunch and spend time with my dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and 2 Golden Retrievers who love to have company! At this time, if I watch your dog in my home, he/she would need to be crated while I’m at work. They would be crated no longer than 4 hours unless I make other arrangements with my job, where I could come home more frequently.

About: Ive had three cats and two dogs in my life. Currently I have two cats and they are my world. In many instances I've had a cat or dog that doesn't like anyone besides family come up and become my new best friend. Also have been trusted to watch multiple friends animals while on vacation because they loved our time together more than anyone else. During the week it would be a drop in sitting with minimal overnight stays after work. Which means its not out the question but not consistent. Weekends I have more flexibility for overnight stays. My cats are indoors, fed a heathly diet, and stimulated. While at the clients house its dependent on the type of animal and if the animal requires special care.

About: ⭐️ My pet sitting experience began in 2016 when I took care of my uncle’s black lab every day after school, my senior year of high school. ⭐️ That same year I took care of my aunt’s two cats for a week while house-sitting. ⭐️ My formal pet sitting experience began during the pandemic. For over a year, I stayed at my friend’s house for about 8 hours while she was at work. I would take her precious pit bull, Lala, out for walks; give Lala and her cat-sister, Sophia, their meds with breakfast, and treat them like the princesses they are. 🕰️ Monday through Friday, I work in the Village of Williamsville, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. 🗓️ My weekends are usually free 😇 ✅ Because my parents live nearby, they can keep my cats company so I can accommodate any house-sitting time requirements (e.g. “do not leave the house for more than two hours.”) ♥️ I care for my clients’ pets the same way I care for my cat-sons Remy and Kai. 🫶🏻 I give them all the attention they desire, and I do the less-than-desireable things—like washing the litter boxes monthly—with a smile because I know it’s what’s best for them.

About: I grew up on a farm in Cambria/Lockport, NY and have been surrounded by animals my entire life. Caring for animals has never been a job to me, it’s just how I was raised. Growing up, I helped care for 50 baby calves, 2 horses, 18 cats, 8 dogs, a miniature goat, and over 1,000 exotic birds and parrots since my mom was an exotic bird breeder. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including senior pets, shy pets, and high energy dogs. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I feel the exact same way about my own little dog, Bambi, who is spoiled and loved like family. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone calm and caring around them, I will treat them like they’re my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks, drop in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, cat care, companionship visits, and overnight in home stays while owners are away on vacation. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, attention, and comfort, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals throughout the day. I am dependable, communicative, and willing to work with different schedules whenever possible to help pet owners feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for like family.

“Mackenzie did a fabulous job caring for my shy kitty, Penny Lane. I was quite nervous leaving her for nearly two weeks, but she warmed up to Mackenzie quickly and got lots of playtime and good interaction every day. Mackenzie shared lots of photos and left the house in good order for my arrival home. I'd highly recommend Mackenzie as a pet sitter.”

“Audrey did a tremendous job of taking care of Lady!”
