“Jenn & Brian made it so easy to plan a daycare stay for my two dogs while I was planning a visit to Niagara Falls. During the day, they sent cute pictures of the dogs, including one with their son having three dogs sit at attention. I could tell when I picked them up they had a great day and made new friends.”

“We appreciate Mindy's flexibility with our dog sitting needs while visiting Buffalo. She was friendly and communicative, too. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed in Mindy's home. Will be using Mindy's services again.”


“I feel like Courtney isn't just the best dog sitter, she's one of the best humans. She was so welcoming and understanding of my not completely house trained pup, and she's almost like a trainer as well as sitter. She's worked on crate training and commands with my pup, even letting me borrow things to help at home. Five other sitters denied my request to watch a puppy, but Courtney is the ultimate dog lover, and honestly has more patience than anyone I've ever met. My only concern is that my pup loves being at her house maybe more than mine, since Courtney's dogs are her new best friends! I can't recommend her highly enough, except I'll be sad if she ever ends up booked when I need her. I couldn't imagine using anyone else.”

“Akeira was such a responsible and kind dogsitter. She kept me updated regularly, which made a big difference. Her dog, Eleanor, is wonderfully gentle and got along so well with my pups. Akeira really put care and attention into making sure they were happy and healthy, including taking them on walks. The fact that my dogs were excited to see her every morning at drop-off says everything. I’d happily trust her with them again.”

“Rosalyn was exactly what you want in a doggy sitter and went above and beyond to make Marli’s very few experiences away from home exceptional! Marli and their doggy Lilly had a great day together. I would highly recommend Rosalyn to anyone who wants a sitter that makes your doggy feel special and loved. 🐾💚💜”

“We now call Dena, Aunt Dena, because for the short 8 weeks we were in Buffalo for work she and her family became Goose’s family. I can not say enough kind things about her and her family, all around great people and caretakers. I am positive that Goose misses his friends in Buffalo, I know I do, and hope to one day be back to visit. I am so thankful for all the time, commitment, and love she put into Goose.”

“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter. She is responsive and understanding of my dogs individual needs. He's an older boy and appreciates a good lap or couch for requent relaxation and Alexis is willing to provide that. This was our second time at doggy day care with Alexis and he rushed out of the car to visit her again!”

“Charlette accommodated our day care request last minute and took such great care of our dog! She was kind when we needed flexibility with drop off. She sent adorable pictures through the day, and our dog was so happy and tired on pick up. Highly recommend!”

“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”

“Maya absolutely loved her stay with Vicki, Patrick and Ging! She was very happy and was ready to rest after such a fun day. I really appreciated the updates/report card and the pictures/videos of Maya playing with Ging and going on a walk. I would definitely leave Maya with them again. Thank you once again!”

About: Loving, cozy home close to the airport. I have taken care of dogs of all kinds from German shepherds to labs to cocker spaniels and pit bulls. My house is pretty close to the Buffalo airport. Great walkable neighborhood. I work part time so I have lots of time to spoil your fur baby! I have a large backyard. I have 2 cats that can easily be separated in my finished basement if your dog doesn’t like cats.
“Lauren was amazing. I work long hours & she was always ready to watch Maggie early in the morning until evening. I really appreciated her being so kind to my dog. Maggie loved her!”


“We were traveling on Road Trip with our dog and two boys. We wanted to see Niagara Falls but knew that our hotel wouldn’t let us keep our dog in the room unattended. We had Reilly stay with Mary for the day while we took in the sights. Reilly had a great time with Mary and her dogs. THANK YOU!!”

About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.

About: It would be my honor to walk, play with, cuddle, protect and care for your furry family member! I have adopted and cared for numerous dogs and cats my entire life. I believe pets bring out the best in us. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and providing the best of care. Let's Woof It Up! I am available full time for all of your pet care needs. I am a full time pet care professional. I gave up the corporate world to run with the animals. My world has literally gone to the dogs! I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog that loves playmates! I have plenty of toys and plenty of love. Days will be filled with walks around the neighborhood for exercise, playtime in the fenced yard, a swim in the inflatable pool, or just relaxing under a shady tree. It will be a nice, warm, inviting and safe retreat for your pet, far from their usual 9-5 grind.
“Erica was absolutely wonderful. She made sure Millie had plenty of activities to do like walks, play mats, and treats. Pick up went seamlessly and she is very responsive and flexible. I appreciate her taking care of my dog!”

“My dog Jax went to Taylor’s house for doggy day care and they had a great time! Taylor was extremely friendly, responsive, flexible, and gave multiple photo updates! Jax even got to be a big sibling to some foster puppies for the day - super cute! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. Highly recommend!”

“Kiara and Yves did an amazing job watching Teddy. Once I dropped him off, he felt right at home. Kiara kept on contact with me throughout the booking to update me on Teddys status and sent several pics. Will definitely book with Kiara and Yves again if we’re in the area.”

About: Raised with the help of two Doberman “nannies,” in the home of a veterinarian. I was brought up in a home from tigers to monkeys and have a natural pull towards caring for all animals. Hi, I’m Raisa. I’ve lived with and cared for Dobermans, Dachshunds, Labradors, Australian Shepherds, Mixed Breeds, and now a senior Siberian Husky who adores other animals. I’ve raised puppies, supported seniors, and learned how to read a dog’s communication style quickly and intuitively. What sets me apart is the combination of: 🐾 A lifetime of hands‑on experience, including a course in Canine Science 🌿 A calm, confident presence 🎯 An ability to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs 🏡 A home environment that’s warm, structured, animal‑savvy and has a LARGE FENCED YARD Your pup will feel so understood and cared for, they’ll think of my home as their second home. I'm in a phase where I am home full-time. During the weekends and evenings I may step out for errands, but I will have the majority of the day to create a bond with your loved ones! I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly female Siberian Husky who respects and loves fur babies of all sizes. Since our yard is large, we can accommodate multiple dogs at once if you have a large family. My pup is vaccinated and up-to date with flea, tick and heart worm meds.

Courtney was amazing in introducing our anxious puppy to her dogs at home. She is very knowledgable about dog behavior and Chewy loved her time there. The goal was to provide Chewy a calmer environment than traditional daycare, and she loved it! She also got to meet one of her foster kittens and was enthralled with him. Courtney made our experience so easy and we appreciate it.
My dog Jax went to Taylor’s house for doggy day care and they had a great time! Taylor was extremely friendly, responsive, flexible, and gave multiple photo updates! Jax even got to be a big sibling to some foster puppies for the day - super cute! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. Highly recommend!

Taylor was an absolutely fantastic sitter for Luke. Her care was top-notch, and the communication was flawless! We received regular photos and updates, which kept our minds completely at ease. Luke clearly had a great time and was happy and healthy when we returned. Taylor is professional, reliable, and wonderful with dogs. Highly recommend—we will definitely rebook!"
