Dog Sitting Brackenridge

“Michaels the best! He’s helped us multiple times with overnight stays & quick drop ins. Our very selective dog & our shy cat both love him. He went above & beyond when we were away during a big snow storm & couldn’t get home to our pets. He cleared a pathway for our dog to go outside, cleared snow away from vents attached to our home & still managed to keep our pets active & exercised in the frigid temps. Everyone needs a Michael for their pets!”

About: I am a proud dog mom myself. And I treat every dog with the exact same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I currently work from 7am - 3pm on weekdays. I am fully available on weekends and overnights. After 3pm on weekdays I am fully available for drop ins and walks. I have a fenced in yard, and a Golden Retriever who is very friendly and well trained. I make sure there is always a water in my dogs bowl and I am on schedule with her feeding times.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for over 50 years. I've cared for my own pets as well as regularly helped family and friends by watching their dogs, walking them, and making sure they were well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog like part of the family. I am retiring and love working with dogs, so my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care while keeping active and meeting new furry friends I provide a safe and loving environment with a fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time. I make sure dogs get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention. I also enjoy keeping pets engaged with toys and fun activities, including an outdoor pool in the summer, so they stay happy, active and comfortable.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life! With the occasional rabbit or fish. I have two dogs of my own now, Bo-Jack and Moose and my love for animals has only grown! I love helping other people care for their pets (aka their family💜) when they need a helping hand! I have house sit, walked, and cared for both dogs and cats for over 10 years. I am a teacher so I have summers off! I am free almost all day everyday until mid to late August and then I will be free in the evenings and on weekends once school starts! When caring for pets in the clients home I am sure that when I leave it looks like I was never there! (Other than a happier pet of course). I triple check all locks and anything that needs to be cleaned up and/or put away.

“Kelsey was amazing. She helped us on super short notice and was able to get my kitten who is afraid of all strangers to come out and play!! It really made me so happy and I hope to work with her again sometime!”

About: I’ve worked at shelters, owned various animals but mostly cats and dogs. I promise your fur friend is in good paws when it comes to me. I have an extremely flexible schedule and open availability. I can work around you and your fur friends schedule just let me know your needs. Clients home, I have various dogs cats at my house and I think I’d be better suited caring for a pet in their home environment.

About: I have taken care of my friends dogs for multiple nights in a row while her and her family were on vacation. Done this multiple times. I am part time. I am home from school in the summer so I can only provide some of these services right now. But I usually don’t have to work until 4pm. I have 6 cats and they are all pretty chill. Just the usual feeding and cleaning the litter box. I also love to cuddle so they are definitely loved.

About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I have looked after dogs of all sizes. I thoroughly enjoy the presence of puppies and have had the pleasure of training puppies, caring for elder dogs, and everything in between Currently, I am conducting research at the University of Buffalo til the end of July. I am working a typical 9-5 but have all time around that flexible. I can work nights are even early in the morning as well, but lunch time check ins will be difficult for me. I am staying in a dormitory at the University of Buffalo so I will not be able to offer any services at my temporary residence, but I can offer dog walks, check ins, feedings, anything that can be done early in the morning or after 5 pm.

“Manda is great! She kept our dog in the past and just finished doing drop-in visits for our cats. She clearly loves animals and treats them as her own! She sent great photos and kept us well-informed. I highly recommend her!”

About: Hi there! I’m Jae☺️, a passionate dog lover and experienced dog walker. With a deep appreciation for all breeds, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and engaging experience for your furry friends. I prioritize their well-being and happiness during our walks, ensuring they get the exercise and socialization they need. Having worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the park or an energetic romp, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s preferences. I’m also committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos during our adventures together. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members and give them the care and attention they deserve! Let’s make every walk a tail-wagging good time! I’m currently in college so this schedule goes great with my classes. Sometimes my classes get canceled and I can dog sit early or take walks early. I have a dog playground in my neighborhood. I also have plenty of space inside to play and run around. I promise to make this a great experience.

About: Having had the joy of loving, training, and caring for two wonderful dogs, and losing them both to old age, I deeply miss having a dog in my life. While I’m not financially able to provide for another dog at this time, I would love the opportunity to care for others' pets. Caring for dogs would not only help me earn additional income but also fill my life with the companionship and joy they bring, even if it's just temporary—whether for a day, a week, or longer. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s playing, walking, grooming, or simply loving them. With a strong moral code and work ethic, you can rest assured that your beloved pet will be well cared for, and I’ll ensure they have as much fun as if they were on vacation! I work from home, so I am available 24/7 to tend to the need of your pet! I have weekend obligations that will take me out of the house, but never longer that a few hours at a time. Your dog will be treated like family while in my care. My entire downstairs is open to them. I am hoping your pet will want to hang out with me:) I have a large yard , with a portion of it fenced off to create safety for your pet when off leash. If your dog fancies a walk, I live close to a park that is ideal for a casual stroll, or an invigorating walk for for exercise. I am more than willing to send pictures and or short videos of your pet if you wish, so you can feel connected while you are away.

About: *Currently offering a special rate for new clients at just $35 per day/night! 🐾 Many of my clients have become friends, and their pups’ unique quirks always keep our household laughing. Whether it’s a one-time visit or recurring stays, I’m here to give them plenty of love and send you the cutest updates along the way 🥰. As a pet mama myself, I know how important peace of mind is while you’re away. We baby ours (big time), and we’ll baby yours too… silly voices and all! 📍 Location – I'm about 25-30 minutes from Verona (it's listed as my location for visibility purposes), but we have clients from all over. I also offer flexible pick-ups/drop-offs to make things easy (if needed). 🐶 Routine: I work from home so I am always here and available to care for him/her. They will be very well loved! We especially enjoy going for walks and playing in the yard. As I mentioned, I'll keep you updated throughout the stay with photos, and other updates. If I'm unsure about anything, I will absolutely reach out and ask you!

“Sarah was excellent with my two dogs, very kind to them. Sarah is also reliable. I would highly recommend Sarah.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. I grew up with cats and because we were never allowed to have a dog, I would take care of dogs in the neighborhood. I would dog sit, walk them constantly, and would even bathe them. When I was little, I wanted to be a veterinarian. However the thought of having to put an animal to sleep, kept me from fulfilling that lifelong dream. With two Golden Retrievers of my own Duke 7 years old and Enzo 7 months old who I adore more than life itself, and a cat my life is full. Looking forward to adding more fluffy friends to my life, and maybe even adding some excitement to my dogs life by adding new friends. I currently work full-time, but the majority of my days at work are spent working from home, so my schedule is flexible. The more dogs the merrier ! I will do whatever is necessary to provide the best care when someone else’s baby is in my care. I know what I would want for my dog, so I would treat each animal that is in my care the same way I would treat my own dog with lots of love, treats, walks and playtime!

About: Animals of all kinds have always been drawn to me. for as long as i can remember, i’ve wanted to take care of animals in some fashion. Rover is the perfect way to do that while i’m still in college! I work part time at Getgo on south pike rd, while also going to school full time for Psychology. I’ll be able to spend time with your fur baby after work, after school, and in my free time thursday - saturday. we have two golden retrievers who are the sweetest boys around. we have a front and back yard, neither are fenced in due to their size.

About: When I was a little girl my neighbor used to have me come to his house just to give his dogs a bath & play with them outside, they were outside dogs so I became a muddy mess every Wednesday ! I love all animals. I have 4 myself & my boyfriend has 4 as well so I’m always around animals! I currently own my own business but it’s by appointment only so I always have random availability. I do not work Mondays or Sundays at my business so I can always help I will come & love on the animals; make sure they have everything they need. Have a clean place to relax or play around. I want to be your dogs bestie?

About: I’ve had dogs pretty much my whole life and currently have two doggies myself. We walk pretty much every single day. We play and we go for drives. They’re my adventure buddies and I take them just about everywhere with me. I have watched & taken care of friends and family members dogs for as long as I can remember. I love any and all dogs like my own. I currently work full time from 7am - 3:30 pm. I am available anytime after 4:30 Tuesday - Thursday and anytime after 3:30 Monday’s and Friday’s. I am available anytime on weekends. I have a yard big enough for your dog to run and do their business and two friendly dogs of my own to keep your dog company. I have plenty of walking trails near my house so I am available to walk your dog. I will take care of your dog like it is my own and ensure the safety of your dog.

About: From a young age, I’ve had a deep love for dogs, and as an adult pet parent, I truly understand how stressful it can be to leave your companion in someone else’s care. It’s natural to feel anxious about whether your pet will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. My goal is to exceed your expectations by providing attentive, dependable, and loving care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I’m an avid hiker who loves being outdoors—whether that means long walks, neighborhood strolls, or playtime with your pup. I have experience with home stays for senior dogs, caring for cats, and training and supporting young puppies, including reinforcing routines and basic training. Please note: due to a cat allergy, I am only able to accept cats for drop-in visits. I’m passionate, professional, and genuinely excited to meet you and your dog. I look forward to providing care you can feel confident about. I am home full time so I am able to give your pup all the attention it needs! I have my own dog who gets cuddled, played with, and walked daily. I would provide for your dog whether it is a drop- in visit, walk, or house sitting. I promise he/she will get the attention it deserves. I am used to letting dogs out every2-4 hours if needed. I also love making trips to the local dog park should you feel comfortable with that! Let me know all of your pets favorite things and preferences! Do they prefer a walk where they can sniff to their heart's content, or a hike on the trail ? Do they love playing tug or belly rubs, or both ? I truly provide tailored care to your pet.
