House Sitting in Barker

About: I have loved dogs my whole life. Unfortunately (with the exception of when I was very little and one year as a teenager living with my mother) I grew up without dogs living with my father in an apartment. Getting married changed that as my wife at the time of dating had one dog and we now have 3 wonderful dogs, all rescues. We have also fostered in the past. I am passionate about rescuing dogs and dogs (and all animals) rights to a loving home free of abuse. I receive so much joy from being with dogs and have formed a strong bond with all 3 of our kids. My wife and I have no human children so the dogs are pretty much our life. As of now I am in between jobs so I have a lot of availability. I am looking for late mornings through the evening. I unfortunately cannot do overnights or earl mornings. I don't think I could do it at my house as out dogs do not always get along with others especially on their territory. I would be available to work I your home or I can provide dog walking services.

“First seven straight days away from my barking kids and Melissa did a great job as usual! She's very flexible as well with unexpected and last minute schedule changes.”

“Carly was AMAZING! My boys are great with strangers but I could tell they looked forward to seeing her the whole time she was watching them. I didnt mind if she spent a ton of time with them to try and make sure they weren’t too high maintenance but she spent lots of time snuggling them, and giving them toys when she came over. Very quick and great communication. I would absolutely recommend her for your babies!”

About: I've cared for family and friends dogs since I was a teenager, as well as our own dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs and other medical needs. I work part time and will spend my off time with your pup. I like to meet everyone before sitting so I can get to know their routines and make sure everyone is comfortable! I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.

“Sarah was absolutely AMAZING. We received picture updates every day! Our boy fell in love with her and enjoyed her company so much he almost didn't want her to leave! Will definitely book with her again in the future”

About: I don’t just watch pets, I care for them like they’re my own. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taught me how meaningful the bond between people and their pets can be, and it’s one of the reasons why I treat every animal with patience, affection, and individualized care. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a true passion for animals, you can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time, but pet sitting fits well into my weekly schedule because I’m intentional about making time for it. I only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and reliability they deserve. Evenings and weekends are open as well as during lunch hours during the work week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of attention. I also treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

“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!"”

“Rebecca took great care of my dog and 2 cats. I felt berry confident leaving them in her capable hands!”

“Jacque did a fantastic job of house sitting our 2 dogs! They loved having him and we couldn't have been happier with the care and love he gave them while we were out of town. Gave us updates and photos of the doggies. Would highly recommend and use again!”

About: As long as I can remember I’ve taken care of pets of my own and others. From dogs and cats to lizards and birds, I’ve learned a lot from years of animals being by my side. That’s why from dog walks to overnight stays, your pets are in safe, loving hands-24/7, 365 days a year. I have plenty of free time to keep any pets enriched and well cared for when you cannot. Life can be busy but I like to spend time making others happy, especially animals! I live with a large family and with my cat, Coco. I feed her 1/2 a cup of dry food in 3 meals as she is an indoor cat and often she will be given wet food as well. I enjoy keeping my friend as happy and healthy as possible since she’s like my own child.

“Becca is wonderful with my very high energy and high maintenance German Shorthaired Pointers. There isn't anyone else that I trust them with. She is reliable, communicative, and goes above and beyond.”

“Jillian was excellent in all aspects - great communication, thoughtful, caring, did everything I asked her to do, left the house neat and clean. I felt very reassured my dogs were being well cared for. Would highly recommend.”

Beverly M.

“Absolutely made our trip more enjoyable knowing we had Mackenzie taking care of Tank! She went over and above with his care and keeping him safe and happy.”

About: Hi, I’m Geoffrey! Love to take dogs to the local parks. Both the Dog Park or the beautiful nature trails in the area. Have plenty of experience house and dog sitting. Have invited my dogs to participate in my yoga practice over the years. They seem to be mostly passive and relaxed during this activity. 😂 Excellent at massage, playing my piano or violin for them, singing, and treats. Treating them like the royalty the noble creatures they are is how I like describe my style. Their needs come first when I’m on the clock. I’ve just started doing this in the Lockport area and would love to get to know the community! Recently moved back from San Diego and happy to have returned to Western New York! Hope to hear from you.

About: I’m semi-retired and love to fill my time with animals and other caregiving services. I often drop-in services and overnight care. I believe in great communication and making you feel comfortable when trusting your fur-babies to me I grew up caring for birds, dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs. I have a very flexible schedule and will work as best I can around your needs for animal care. I will work with you to make sure you’re happy with the time and attention your animal(s) will receive. Including pictures and updates I understand how hard it can be to let caregivers I to your home and will do everything possible to make sure you’re comfortable with me. And your animals get all the attention they deserve.

“We had a great experience with Shawna. Ali is a senior dog with some challenges but things all went as well as they could have . We were very happy with Shawna’s care of Ali which was most important. Will be calling in the future. Colleen and Gary Kogut and Ali too !!”

About: Hi. I’m Sabrina. I have experience with dogs and cats since I was a child. The love I have for animals is something everyone around me recognizes quickly! Animals make life enjoyable and so much better, and they only deserve the best and happiest of times! 
I have my own dog and two cats yet, always enjoy helping friends or family out with watching their pets, stopping by to check on them, giving the cats some love down to walking the dogs. My life revolves around caring for animals. When im spending time with my animals, they go everywhere with me and really enjoy car rides with the windows down, water/ice cups from Tim Hortons, pup cups from Starbucks, running in the parks, or just simply playing fetch in the yard. Animals truly bring so much happiness in my life! I have open availability to care for animals. Available unless I’m watching a client already. I do not watch more than one client at a time . Instructions will be given to me from client of feeding, exercise schedule. Animals will be safe under my care and won’t be exposed to dangerous environments

“Kori was a fantastic dog sitter. Our dogs were standoffish at first, but she was very patient and won them over. She took great care of both our dogs and our home, sent lots of pictures, and made us feel confident they were in good hands. Next time we go on vacation, we’ll definitely be reaching out to her first!”

“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!”
