About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I am currently working a job during the afternoon on the weekdays and the weekends but I will still be available to play with your pups on the weekdays some mornings :) I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.

About: I grew up with dogs and took care of them my whole life. I get so excited and look forward to meeting new furry friends! I have 4 children : 2 black labs, a Staffordshire mix, and a Russian blue cat. I have experience with walking and caring for both large and small dogs. It makes my day seeing how happy dogs get from a single walk or a belly rub. Dogs are my passion and would love to make their day by giving them endless compassion as they do for us. I am almost always available during the summer. I'm a student athlete at Buffalo state, so my summer weekly routine is very flexible for your pets needs I live in a great neighborhood which is very dog friendly. My street I live on is very peaceful with plenty of dogs and very low traffic. My house has a medium sized unfenced backyard.

“Bethany was excellent! She immediately got along with our (large) dog and made it so easy to go away for the weekend, knowing our dog would be well taken care of. Bethany communicated very quickly and gave me all the updates a worried dog Mom might want!”


About: Avid runner/walker with over 15 years of experience caring for cats and dogs from Buffalo to Montreal. I have experience caring for all breeds of dog and pets with varying medical needs and sensitivities. I’m active in the community, reliable, and outgoing. I run, walk, and bike year round, and I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to take drop ins and walks when needed. I have my own vehicle as well. I am currently only open to drop ins and dog walking, as I am already booked for overnights. I can accommodate additional bookings for regular clients.

About: There hasn't been a time in my life that hasn't had multiple pets in it. I have worked on farms and in a vet hospital and the joy of making an animal happy never goes away. I currently have 2 small dogs and 3 cats, the oldest being 20 years old. I would love the opportunity to help you care for your animals. i work remote and therefore have the ability to schedule my work around the needs of any animals I might be taking care of while their humans are away! Having a dog with behavioral issues for years taught me a great deal about how to work with and understand dogs better. Each animal is unique but I find that with enough patience and scritches you can make most tails wag.

About: Hi! I'm Nicole, I have a lifetime of experience with animals, having been surrounded by them since childhood. Having been raised around dogs, I have developed an innate understanding of their needs, behaviors, and the importance of consistent care. This extensive experience enables me to anticipate and cater to the unique requirements of each animal under my supervision, ensuring their well-being, comfort, and security at all times. My deep-rooted familiarity with canine care equips me with the knowledge and dedication essential for providing responsible and attentive pet sitting services. Besides my affection for dogs, I have developed a deep fondness for cats as well. When a friend had to part ways with her cat, I willingly took her in, without knowing that she was pregnant. Shortly after, the cat gave birth to a litter, and I wholeheartedly committed myself to nurturing them. This firsthand experience, coupled with a genuine affection for cats, equips me with the empathy, attentiveness, and insight vital for ensuring the well-being and contentment of them. I believe I am an ideal candidate for providing professional and reliable cat sitting services, characterized by the same level of care, affection, and understanding that I extend to my own families beloved feline companions. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the insight and capability to understand and meet the unique needs of these animals, making me a dependable and caring pet sitter for both cats and dogs. My experience extends to also raising and working with chickens, and working at a horse stable as a stable hand. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 9AM-3PM, but live only 10 minutes away and have a flexible job which allows me to come home during lunch hours. I am also available in the mornings and evenings outside of work. I am a dependable and trustworthy individual who prioritizes creating a safe and nurturing environment for animals under my care. My early riser routine enables me to attend to the needs of pets promptly, ensuring they are fed and let out at optimal times. Additionally, my flexibility, stemming from my civilian office job and military service, allows me to be readily available to cater to the specific requirements of my clients and their pets. My military experience has instilled in me a strong sense of accountability, responsibility, and appreciation, qualities that transcend into my approach as a pet caregiver, making me a more dependable and responsible person overall.

“Jillian has taken care of our cats on multiple occasions. I am not exaggerating when I say I am certain she takes better care of them than we do. Not only is she very responsible and reliable about doing the necessary things like feeding them, giving them water, cleaning their litter box etc, she also truly loves animals and gives them a lot of affection and attention.

Jamie M.
“Jamie is one of the kindest and thoughtful caregivers I've met. She loves all animals and it certainly shows in her level of investment to ensure the safety, comfort, and happiness of those under her care. I have seen her engage with dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies with all of the energy in the world to our 19 year old cat who somehow still has a skip in her step. From walks to grooming to providing medication accurately, Jamie is trustworthy and consistently goes the extra mile.”
