“Couldn’t be more happier to had crossed paths with Kimberly. She understands my crisis I’m in and has been nothing but welcoming, supportive, sends updates of my pets, in communication there is never any delays which is great. I’m able to pop in to check and get love from my pets which is more than ever needed for me at this time. I’m greatful for Kimberly and the outstanding service she provides for my pets. I’d highly recommend Kimberly to other fur parents”

“Melissa is fantastic, and I won’t be taking my pal anywhere else from now on. She was accommodating to my busy travel schedule and sent me update pics while I was gone! Also, he came home tired so I know he enjoyed his stay. I wish I could leave more than 5 stars!”

“Alexis is extremely responsive and reliable. I’ve had to board my dog for several days at a time and every time have come home to a very happy and well exercised puppy. 😊”

“Michelle was amazing to work with! We ended up having an issue with flights and had to cut our dogs stay with her short but I can tell from the time he was there how loving and attentive she is. Will book 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!”

“Shannon did a wonferf job watching our two dogs for 4 days. One of our dogs needs twice a day insulin injections and she managed that perfectly. Her home is a super dog friendly home. Her Son provided her assistance adding to an enjoyable stay for our dogs.”

“Mindy was very sweet to our Luna! She took time to have a Meet & Greet beforehand, to make sure our pup was comfortable and that it was a good fit. She provided copious updates -- photos and videos -- and was very quick to respond when we reached out to see how things were going. Luna came home pleasantly tired *and* having made a few friends in Mindy's kitties! :) Thank you Mindy!!!”

“Madeline sent photos during Moose’s stay and we could tell he was so happy. He definitely loved walking the trails. Thank you for going above and beyond. If you want your dog to be spoiled by a true animal lover, reach out to Madeline!”

“I would recommend Valerie! She took care of our big baby, a long-haired German Shepherd named Jaeger. She went above and beyond to administer his medication, give him treats and lots of love and even drove him home for us. She sends lots of pictures and gives frequent updates. Jaeger came back very happy and slept for days!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 10 years old for neighbors and it has grown to even my supervisors at my main job hire me to watch their pets and houses! I love being with animals and want to hang out with some more pets! I have sat for puppies, cats, kittens, dogs, fish, bearded dragons, and even plants! I work a couple of part time jobs and therefore have spaced out availability and lots of flexibility to work around your pet’s schedule! I am a student in college but I stack classes to have extra free time for pets! I abide by rules and directions set by pet owners and make sure to contact the pet owners over any possible misunderstandings! I stick to the pets schedule and make sure their life stays as normal as possible while beloved owners are away!
“Amanda, is the best sitter in Buffalo. She is great with my dog. She communicates really well and Selena loves going there for boarding. Thank you so much!!!!”

“This was my first time ever boarding Winnie and Monica put me so at ease with leaving him in her care. She even spent extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable with hers before I booked an overnight and she kept me informed on how he was doing with texts, photos and video. I would not hesitate to book a stay with her again!”

“Emmy was awesome and super caring with Brownie. She immediarely welcomed him and made him feel at home. Her home has a really nice backyard with plenty of space for dogs. I know Brownie had a great time with Emmy and her family!”

About: I’ve had pets growing up my entire life! The level of personal care I give every animal sets me apart. I don’t just feed and walk your pets — I take time to understand their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I tailor my care to match what each pet needs most. I treat every furry friend like my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. I currently work part time as a teachers assistant and home pretty much everyday. I’m off on the weekends. So I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My home is safe, welcoming, and full of love, and each pet gets the individual attention they deserve. We make sure every animal feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. • Family Time & Play: Your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, and fun activities with all of us. • Feeding & Health: I follow your pet’s routine, including meals and medications, to keep them healthy and comfortable. • Exercise & Adventure: Dogs enjoy walks, yard play, and indoor games, while cats and smaller pets get enriching activities tailored just for them. • Comfort & Safety: Your pet will have cozy spaces to rest and feel secure with our family. I have a huge backyard for play and plenty of room inside our home. . Pet Care At Clients Home: When I take care of pets in your home, my goal is to provide love, attention, and consistency while respecting your pet’s routine. I treat your home and pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. • Updates for You: We love sending photos and messages so you can see your pet thriving while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet in my home feels loved, safe, and happy—just like they would with their own family.
“The girls seemed very happy on pickup. She helped when my dog sitter cancelled last minute. She also bathed the pups and trimmed their nails. I would recommend her for dog sitting.”

“Amy was wonderful! She was super responsive and flexible with scheduling. My doggo loved spending time with her and I appreciated the photos sent to me during his stay. Overall, it was a great experience!”

“YOUR DOG WILL LOVE JOSE I highly recommend Jose. He created a fantastic connection with Mookie (my dog) when we met for our familiarization visit. Mookie was relaxed and visibly happy both when I dropped him off and when I picked him up. Mookie had a great time hanging out with Honey, Jose’s puppy and running around with Jose’s kids and on his walks and playtime in the fenced yard. How do I know? Because Jose consistently sent me photos everyday! Which was a great source of comfort for my wife and I and allowed us both to fully enjoy our trip, knowing Mookie was in good hands and having fun as well. Further, Mookie needed a small bandage re-dressed every day. When I brought this up, Jose said “no problem”. Again, I knew Mookie was in the best hands for our trip. Finally, Jose noticed that Mookie’s nails were long (my fault) and gave not only good advice as to what to do and why Mookie would feel better, he has the training and skill to trim those claws down (and a little bit of grooming clean-up!) Jose is your one-stop sitter! He walks, plays, boards and grooms. He is one of the good ones. If you want to speak to me directly about my experience, please let Jose know and he’ll put us in contact. (Jose, it’s okay to give someone 716.23#.####) That’s how strongly I recommend Jose’s services. Have an excellent rest of the year, Jose. Thank you.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, helping neighbours, friends, and family by walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Pet care is naturally part of my routine. I can set aside time each day for feeding, walks, and play to ensure pets stay healthy, active, and well cared for. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I also provide plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and ensure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.
