About: ** PLEASE READ FULL BIO BEFORE BOOKING*** I’ve worked at a cat shelter on and off for numerous years as a teen. Currently, I dog walk for the shelter as often as I can as part of their program. Ive also bottle fed rescue kittens and have much experience with baby animals, including wildlife! I am familiar with many species of animals and very passionate about their care. I’ve had rats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, cats, dogs and fish … just to name a few! **PLEASE READ** I do have 3 pet rabbits that a partially free roam. They are all in safe spaces & can be enclosured. They DO get along with other animals. I am available weekends, Saturday and Sunday, all day and weekdays Monday - Friday after 5pm! I do have a full time job but plenty of spare time for your pets care! I do have a fenced in yard but would love to actually walk your fur baby instead! I have beautiful parks near by with plenty of room to play!
“The proof of Jackie’s expertise is with the pups. They adored her. She is obviously a dog person. We’ll be booking her again as a sitter. I know that bean and sprout will have a wonderful time with her. Thanks Jackie!”
“I wasn't home for when she walked my dogs but from what I heard from my mom is that Callie was an amazing dog walker. She played with, attended to, and cared for my dogs for the time that she had with them, and she was also communicative. She gets a thumbs up from me, I would ask for her services again”
“Nicole has been fantastic to work with! She has taken Oliver on several walks and is always on time and gives us great notes and photos. And Oliver loves her, which is the most important part!”
“Brianna was absolutely wonderful. So kind and caring, she took such good care of my puppy like she was her own. Took her on walks, played with her, laid with her, fed her made sure she went to the bathroom before she left. Will be using her again!!!”
About: I've been a cat dad of my own and looked after friends' and family's cats and dogs for 20+ years, including those in good health and those with special healthcare needs, like regular medications, etc. I love playing with them and just hanging out together...Basically just being pals! I'm not working full-time currently, I'm available every day of the week for pet care needs. Right now my main responsibilities are to the beck and call of my own 7-year-old Calico cat Partridge. I am very adept at dealing with feeding cats and dogs, dog walking, cleaning/clearing litter, and socializing with cats and dogs at their own comfort level. I have experience with special feeding routines such as pill and oral syringe feeding, and with application of topical medicines/ointments.
About: I have taken care of friends, family, and neighbors pets since I was seven with the help of my sister and now by myself. From walking, drop ins, and overnight sitting, I have years of experience and problem solving while taking care of these pets. I currently am home from college and just work some evenings normally so I will be available for dog walking or sitting almost any day as needed. I have a fenced yard at my house and already take care of 2 dogs and have had dogs in the house my whole life. I know how to train, feed, bathe, walk, and anything else your pet may need.
About: Dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family, and I treat them that way! Whether it’s backyard zoomies, long sniff-filled walks, or lazy cuddle sessions, I love making every pup feel happy and at home. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who appreciate a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m comfortable with medication routines, reinforcing basic training, and adapting to each dog’s unique personality. Most importantly, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away, because they deserve nothing less. My goal is simple: to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free! I currently work a hybrid schedule (9–5) with three days in the office (Monday–Wednesday) and two days at home (Thursday–Friday), but my in-office days are flexible! On office days, I’m available for walks before and after work, as well as overnight boarding from 5:30 PM to 8 AM the next morning. When I’m working from home, I can offer walks throughout the day or full-day boarding. Weekends are completely open — I’m available Saturdays and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, or dog sitting at either my home or yours. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they have a calm, secure, and loving environment. I take the time to learn their routines, favorite spots, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. Walks are always done on leash, with plenty of water and breaks, and I never leave pets unattended outdoors. I also keep things tidy and make sure your home looks just as you left it. You can count on regular updates, photos, and lots of happy tails while you’re away!
About: I have done seasonal dog walking jobs for older clients as well as drop-in visits for several of my friends and family’s cats or dogs. I am also proficient in caring for senior cats as I have rescued two from the street. My kitties are quite independent and have an auto kibble feeder and they are fed wet dinner in the evenings to support urinary health. I am always hanging out with them when in my home as it is theirs as well. I am always checking on my pets and giving them affection. I am attentive and quick to respond which makes me very observant and detail oriented. Your pet is always safe under my watch and your instructions will be followed closely. In my own home, clients’ pets have their own room.
About: I have hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve also provided regular dog walking, in-home sitting, and medication support for friends and family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior dog with special needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! As a third-year college student currently on summer break, I have full availability and a flexible schedule, so pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, making sure pets are consistently checked on and cared for on time. I’m also able to accommodate mornings, afternoons, evenings, and most weekends without scheduling conflicts. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re not. Whether it’s feeding, meds, walks, or just some good company, I’m there to give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you always know how they’re doing.
“Emma loves the dogs and my Beauty is no different. You want to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in the hands of another and I felt just that. Thanks Emma!”
About: I grew up around and with dogs and absolutely adore them. From chihuahua’s to rottweilers I love them all! I was bit as a child so do have some fear when it comes to reactive dogs and would rather not sit for them. While my expertise is cats the more dogs I’ve sat the more comfortable I am. So not only am I helping you but you’re helping me :) My boyfriend and I both work 9-5 most days but can always stop by for checkins on our breaks. We sit together and work around our schedules to make time for the pets we care for. We have multiple cats as well as fish, frogs, and a lizard. We know how important routines are and do our best to keep your pet in their routine. We ask that your Rover profile is updated with all the information needed to care for your pet up to your standard. Some examples would be feeding and bathroom routines.
“Lana was amazing with my dog Nala! Nala took to her right away. Lana is prompt when answering texts and great at communicating. She always takes lots of pictures and leaves a report card. Thank you for taking great care of Nala!”
About: I have grown up with animals always in my life. Currently, my family has two dogs and three cats! Needless to say, I am a pet loving individual! From raising and training a puppy, to caring for a reactive senior, I am always on board and excited to spend time with animals. I am a college student! I am a student, which gives me lots of free time to get to know and play with your pet! Safety, trust and environment are all very important to me when it comes to animals! I have a large fenced in yard and lots of toys. When I am caring for the pets in any home, both my own and others, I focus on what the pets are most comfortable with so I can prioritize their well-being! In a client’s home, my focus is both on the well-being of the pet and on any information the client provides me with!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Buffalo on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Buffalo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Buffalo.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Buffalo. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
