“Rico is amazing with our two Irish Red & White Setters. As he learned today, Truvy is very adept at scaling fences. Rico was on top of the situation and thwarted her planned escape.”

“Caroline was super accommodating with our young puppy's (and our) needs. She was up for us walking along with her, so our puppy could get feel more comfortable around her for the first meeting. Definitely will be requesting Caroline again for help with our puppy!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young, and have my own cat now! I am able to care for pets of all ages, and can administer medication when needed. I’m currently a teacher on summer break, so my schedule is quite flexible. I am able to do drop-ins or extended time during your busy summer months! I will visit your pet in their own safe space and ensure they receive the very best care in their home environment. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take them to their favorite park.

“Madeline was fantastic! Kind and timely.”

About: I make time to care for dogs on my free time and love to make them feel special. I help busy hardworking owners feel relieved when they can work and know that their dog is in good hands. I am a student that is currently studying full time at my apartment and am available to schedule dog care. I am very organized and am able to set time for studying and pet care and play time. I can play with them and give them enrichment. I can pet them to soothe them. I can encourage drinking water to keep them healthy. I am very vocal when it comes to encouraging and letting pets know they are doing something well.

“Ricky helped me out last minute when I threw out my back by walking my energetic goldendoodle multiple mornings in a row. He was timely, easygoing, and flexible and pup was excited every time he came to the door!”

About: I've had pets in the house for as long as I can remember! Growing up we had dogs of all sizes, cats, turtles, tortoises, fish, and frogs. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, from Yorkies to Rottweilers, and love them all. I currently have one cat named Olive, and plan to adopt a dog once I'm able to move to a larger space. I'm ready to take care of anything your pet needs - bathroom breaks, cat litter scooping, cleaning up accidents, refreshing water and food, play time, brushing, oral medication, etc. I'm currently working from home a few times per week, so I have a lot more flexibility in terms of scheduling pet care and walks. Summer weekends are typically busy, but if I'm in town I'm happy to help you out. I will always care for your animals as if they were my own. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible, especially during the first meeting. I'm always on alert for changes in body language and behaviors that may let me know their comfort level. Every pet is different, but I can guarantee that I will treat each as the very best girl/boy there is.

About: I've owned dogs and cats all my life and have a wealth of experience watching and caring for animals for both friends and family. I'm well-acquainted with the needs and understand the body language of dogs, cats, and birds. I also am experienced with the more advanced care of senior animals as well as the delicate approach necessary for anxious animals. I work part-time with a flexible schedule and plan to be a student in the near future. I'm typically free on weekends and I am happy to work with you directly and adjust my schedule as best as I am able to fit your needs. I am well-accustomed to the routine care needed for animal care, with special attention given to ensure that your pet is not bored. Playtime is very important for your animals physical and mental well-being! I'm also experienced with administering medications and following any special instructions to the letter that your pet may need. I absolutely love animals and you can be sure that I will treat your pet with the same care that I would give my own.

“My dog Diamond and I love Ricardo. he always comes through when we need him. Forever our favorite 🤞🏾”

About: Hi, I’m Marika! I’m a teacher, artist, mom, and lifelong animal lover. I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and learned from an early age the importance of daily walks, playtime, companionship, and responsible pet care. As an adult, I’ve shared my home with cats and currently care for multiple cats of my own. I offer cat sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking with a focus on kindness, reliability, and individualized care. Living with both dogs and cats has taught me that every pet is unique. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! My flexible schedule allows me to provide dependable dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week.I understand how important routines are for pets and strive to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I do not offer pet care in my home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely and make sure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet and home with care, respect, and reliability.

“Lavinia was very thoughtful and thorough. She was prompt, took very good care of our dogs and sent feedback with pictures. We couldn’t have been happier with her!”

About: I love dogs! I've had dogs since I was a kid, so basically have been around them and taking care of them for my whole life. I am good with nail trims and baths as well! My schedule is pretty open. I have a car as well, so getting there wont be an issue. I work at wegmans part time, so i have plenty of free time! I have a little dog and a bearded dragon. Both house trained (yes the dragon poops in the yard lol) i usually walk dogs 3-5 times a day depending on how often they wanna go. I keep nails trimmed and stuff myself as well.

“Ella is always reliable and trustworthy - she more than just walks the dogs. She stays in tune with their body language and behavior and knows how to enrich their experience. I’m so lucky to be able to work with her!”

About: I have experience caring for my own small dog and regularly pet sit my sister-in-law’s dog, so I’m comfortable with different routines and personalities. I focus on making pets feel safe and cared for. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with small dogs and calm routines. I aim to keep every visit positive and stress-free. I’m also responsible and communicative, and I treat every pet with the same care I give my own 🤍 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule during the day, which allows me to be consistent and attentive with each visit or walk. I’m currently available in the mornings and afternoons, as well as early evenings on some days. On the days I have classes, I’m available until the afternoon, so I always make sure to plan visits responsibly and on time. I enjoy creating a calm and reliable routine for the pets I care for, and I like to take my time with each visit to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for 🤍 I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. While I’m newer to client homes, I have experience with my own dog and regularly pet sitting my sister-in-law’s dog, making me attentive and responsible. I follow each dog’s routine closely and respect all home instructions. During walks, I stay alert and focused on your dog’s safety and comfort, and I communicate clearly so you feel reassured 🤍

About: Hi my name is Jennel, I am 25 years and a resent Niagara University Graduate. While there I completed my Bachelors in Hospitality: Travel and Tourism. I got the opportunity to study in Europe for my last semester. I am a long time pet lover. I am detailed oriented, timely, patient, organized, energetic, friendly and very accommodating (I.e. clothing the dog, providing poop bags, treats etc.) If there is anything you need just let me know and I will do my best to meet those needs. I will also do my best to keep them safe and happy, I will show them the same love and affection as I do my families’. I have had experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I am super excited to meet your pets.

About: People have called me the "dog-whisperer", but I have an affinity with animals of all kinds. I have had several happy and sometimes spoiled dogs and cats of my own throughout my life, I am also the only person I know who never lost their hamster as a child. I love going on long walks and hikes, I even once had a cat who liked to go on walks with me. Dogs I have cared for in the past, have been known to miss me after they went home and were excited to see me again the next time. I am almost always available, very punctual, quite active, and I love having a furry four legged companion on a walk or a nice long hike. I am a full time student. My availability is generally open in the afternoon and evenings during the week, with full availability on the weekend. I like to follow instructions so a list is handy, I can take your pets on walks or hikes, and im very good at keepimg animals company and entertained.

“Hannah showed up when she said she would. She also communicates with me in a timely fashion. Her rates are reasonable and my dogs looked happy to walk with her in their pictures. I will definitely use her services again.”

Nerissa C.

About: I've helped care for dogs and cats of friends when they are out of town, including walking, feeding, and cleaning up after them (including puppies, which frequently had to be cleaned up after, which I have no problem with). I am capable of handling anything that comes my way and am not easily stressed. Animal care and owner communication are my first priorities. I will do whatever you need to care for your pets, such as letting them outside in a fenced yard or putting them in a crate at the end of the visit. As I work full time, my schedule typically is weekends. However, I can do early morning walks before 8 am or after 6 pm during weekdays. Pets will be monitored closely. I stick to instructions and will ask questions if I have them. Animals will be treated with patience and respect. If house-sitting, I always put things back in their proper place and avoid touching anything that isn't required for pet care. I myself don't enjoy when folks move my things around, so I keep my hands off!
