“I had a fantastic experience with Carol. She took excellent care of my two dogs, providing constant updates that kept me at ease throughout. Her attentiveness and communication made the entire experience comfortable and worry-free.Highly recommend! A wonderful setter.”


“Denae and Mark were absolute angels! They are such nice people! I felt that my crazy, young pittie was in great hands! Zero felt right at home during the first meet and greet and that made leaving her there for a long weekend less anxiety-inducing for both me and her as she is a bit of an anxious dog. They made her feel so comfortable! I will definitely be booking with them again and would recommend them for anyone! Lots of pictures and great communication! Thank you Mark and Denae!”


“Kim instantly made me feel comfortable- from her first response to dropping off my pups! Our normal sitter had to cancel 2 weeks before a big trip and I didn’t want to take my dogs to a typical kennel. I loved Kim’s at home approach. The dogs were able to get outside and exercise, play with other dogs and spend the evening laying on the couch! The dogs came home smiling and exhausted! Definitely glad to have found another sitter to add to the list!”



“I was very nervous at first leaving our Lucy with anyone again since she had a bad experience with another boarding place but with meeting Alexis, she made me feel immediately comfortable. Throughout the boarding process she was very communicative and even sent pictures and videos of Lucy having a good time with her kids and family. If I ever need another sitter I absolutely will be using her again!”


“We had left Willow with Meghana for about a week and she and her partner were super accommodating to our dog! She constantly gave us updates and pictures on how our dog was doing. Our dog is a rescue so she is a bit timid and shy upon first meet. Meghana made sure Willow was comfortable and relaxed - they respected her space and she opened up to Meghana right away! They also frequently updated us on how Willow was doing, and it seemed like Willow made some new friends. We appreciate her service and her ability to care for our Willow for the week. Will definitely be reaching out again for your services! We really appreciate the care you provided. Thank you!”


“Teddy was clearly very happy to spend time with Cameron, Andrea, and Rusty. We got regular updates and photos and they were very communicative and quick to respond. We would happily book with them again.”


“My dog loves her visits with Alexis! She always comes back happy & tired from her “vacation”. Alexis is very trusting, responsive & responsible. I would recommend her to anyone to care for their fur baby.”


“Lindsay was great, and very accommodating. Our dogs definitely had a good time and were treated very well. Lindsay did a wonderful job communicating and sent us the most adorably pathetic picture of our dane (he's a big baby). 10/10 would hire again.”


“Kendra was great with our dog. She kept us updated throughout the whole stay with pics and letting us know how he was adjusting. He can get a little anxious while away from home but she handled it well and made him as comfortable as possible. Would definitely book again.”


“Allyn was a wonderful sitter and extremely patient and flexible, with several things I had going on at the time we booked!! I was all over the place, due to several personal matters and mishaps, and Allyn remained friendly, open, and accommodating throughout, which I REALLY appreciated. She also handled my Sienna with wonderful tender, love, and care, providing updates and pics and even applying my optional tip to play jazz music for her while Allyn was away!! I highly recommend Allyn and would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Allyn!! <3”


“Elizabeth made our pup feel right at home. It was our first time leaving our Shelby for a week and she made her and us feel so comfortable. Their pup, Chai, and Shelby became fast friends and the videos Elizabeth sent of them playing were amazing. We hope to have her stay again and can’t thank Elizabeth enough for her care.”


About: Hi I’m Angela! I am from Niagara County, New York but currently reside in the Town of Tonawanda and work as a First Responder. I have my own dog son, Grim, who is a one year old rescue from Texas! I have fostered rescue puppies and adult dogs for over 10 years now and I love all four legged furry friends. You can guarantee that I will keep your pets well taken care of and give them lots of loving they deserve! I have grown up with dogs always being in my household and have taken care of them since I can remember. I am very passionate about all animals and always fight for them being treated fairly. I am very active and can guarantee your dog will get lots of exercise and entertainment when they are under my care! I work full time from 4:00 PM - 12:00 AM (four days on and two days off, rotating) and always have during the day free and can maintain a flexible and consistent schedule! My dog is my first priority and I will do anything to make sure he is happy, health, and enriched mentally and physically every day. I will make sure I treat your pets the exact same way I would want for mine. I am a First Responder and can ensure the most trust and safety!

“Dan and his family were excellent dog sitters for our pup who stayed with them for 3 nights. She is 7 months old and this was our first time leaving her with anyone so I was very nervous. We did a meet and greet and Dan and his family made us feel comfortable right away. During her stay, he was very responsive to texts and gave multiple updates about what they did and even sent pics! They have a nice background where our girl was able to run around and play and their house is very spacious and clean. They took her on multiple long walks during her stay and when we picked her up on Sunday and brought her home I could not believe how exhausted she was! She’s a puppy with lots of energy so to see her passed out means she must’ve had a great time getting lots of attention and exercise! I definitely would not hesitate to have Dan dog sit again for us and I’m grateful to know I now have someone that she & I both trust & feel comfortable with. Thanks again to Dan & his wonderful family!”


About: I have years of experience caring for and training animals, including my own dog and cat. I understand the unique needs of both energetic, playful pets and more independent or senior animals. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy pup, reinforcing training, or providing gentle care for older pets, I tailor my approach to each animal’s personality and needs. My hands-on experience has given me the patience, knowledge, and intuition to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Since I work in freelance Talor/Clothing Designer my schedule is OPEN! and I can work from anywhere. As a tailor and clothing designer, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for pet care at various times throughout the day. Whether your pet needs attention in the morning, afternoon, or evening, I can adjust my availability to fit their routine and ensure they get the care and companionship they need. Overnight boarding are ACCEPTED if you need me to stay overnight and watch over your home and animals I got YOU covered. 😀 I provide attentive and personalized pet care in my clients' homes and on walks, ensuring each pet feels comfortable and well-cared for in their familiar environment. Whether it’s following their routine, providing playtime, administering medication, or giving extra affection, I tailor my care to their specific needs. On walks, I make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, exploration, and training reinforcement. I also take my own dog to the local dog park regularly, so I’m experienced in managing social interactions and creating safe, enjoyable experiences for dogs of all energy levels.

“Becky was wondering. We needed someone to watch our pups overnight while visiting in Buffalo for the bills game. She took amazing care of my two trouble makers and was super attentive to there needs. I highly recommend!”


“Akeira was fantastic! She is so nice and very sweet. She took GREAT care of our two dogs!! She updated us throughout each day with photos/videos. She even made really cute report cards for both of our pups! We will be booking with her again!!!”


About: We’re the proud pet parents of Miss Maggie Moo, our sweet and spirited 3-year-old rescued Siberian Husky. Over the years, Jen and I have shared our lives with two other incredible dogs — Chompers, our beagle mix who was with us for 17 years, and Mia, our hound mix who truly was the heart of our home. Chompers taught us the gift of loving a dog through her senior years, while Mia showed us the deep care and attention that comes with supporting a pup with health challenges. We share this with you so you know your family member will be in kind, experienced, and loving hands. Their well-being is our priority, and we want you to feel confident and at ease knowing they’ll be cared for like one of our own. Jen works from home, so your pup will be treated like one of the family and will have her attention, 24/7. We do daily walks and have a fully fenced in back yard for play time. We have a very walk-friendly neighborhood and do morning and evening walks every day (in addition to regular potty breaks). We also have a fully fenced-in yard with a privacy fence. Maggie, our husky, is very friendly and does great with other friendly dogs. We do request for our guests to be crate-trained for sleeping at night. *No aggressive dogs, please.

“Laura was fantastic with our two boys! We were impressed from the very start. She did a great job handling the meet and greet, making sure the boys were comfortable in her home and around her family. While we were on vacation, she regularly checked in, sending us pictures and videos each day. I would highly recommend Laura. We will definitely be repeat clients!”

I cannot recommend Kimberley enough! She was absolutely amazing with Oscar. He is a rescued pup and can be a bit stubborn but she showed so much love and patience with him. It was clear from the updates that he felt comfortable and honestly I think he was a little sad to come back home! I will definitely be booking with her again!
