About: I really love all kinds of animals! Pets bring so much joy to us, so I understand how important it is to return the love back to them. I grew up helping out neighbors with all kinds of pets. I’ve done walking, cleaning up the yard, simply keeping the pet company, and even administer medications. I don’t have another job other than Rover, so I’m free almost all the time! In addition, I need to be more active, so caring/playing with pets is a healthy way to do it. I value the trust built not only with the pet owner, but the pet themselves. Pets rely on us humans to do everything in our will to keep them safe and happy. Routines, patterns, and proper structure is important for pets to have the sense of familiarity and safety.

I can’t say enough great things about Nafisa! I was in a pinch and needed someone to walk my dog last minute, and she showed up without hesitation. Not only was she prompt and professional, but she was incredibly kind and patient with my dog. He came back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and compassionate on short notice. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a trustworthy dog walker!

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!

Rebooked Callie for a midday break. Excellent with our 14 week old puppy! Patient. Callie also has an eye for good photo angles and has sent some of our cutest pictures we have of Benson, which is especially nice because these puppy years go by so quickly and before you know it, you’ve forgotten to document it. Highly recommend Callie for your pet.

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs for neighbors and family friends in my hometown of East Aurora, NY for approximately ten years. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of free time in the summer months as well as a daily work schedule from September-June. I am available for pet care before and after work (early mornings, late afternoon, evening). I am also available on weekends. I have a cat of my own and grew up with cats, but have experience taking care of dogs as well. I will spend quality time with your pets if requested and am available to walk dog(s). I am a Spanish teacher and am off during the summer months to take care of pets at any time. Otherwise, I am able to drop in before or after the work day. I provide care that meets the requests of the pet parent, as each pet parent is different. I am happy to collect mail, water plants, and honor other small requests to provide peace of mind while clients are away.

About: Having cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for over 15 years, I treat every pet like family. I understand that each dog has unique needs, whether it’s energetic play and long walks, patient puppy routine reinforcement (crate training, gentle redirection, and potty breaks), or calm, gentle comfort for seniors. ​I take pride in creating a structured, safe, and positive environment so your dog feels completely at home. You can expect frequent photo updates, open communication, and thorough attention to routines, feeding schedules, and favorite quirks while you’re away. Pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine thanks to my flexible schedule. Because I work independently from home, I have wide availability throughout the day to provide attentive supervision, frequent potty breaks, feeding, and interactive play sessions. I can easily accommodate weekday drop-ins, walks, and daycare, as well as overnight boarding and weekend stays without leaving your pet unattended for long stretches. Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-proofed environment where routines are respected and separate spaces can easily be arranged for feeding, rest, or crating whenever needed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with complete respect, following your precise safety rules, leash protocols, and emergency procedures. You will receive regular photo and text updates so you always know your pup is safe, relaxed, and having a great time.

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.

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 experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need plenty of play and structure to senior pets who require extra patience and gentle care, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves individualized attention. I've cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I also have experience caring for pets with disabilities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to each pet's individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm, reassuring presence, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I'm currently seeking a full-time position, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I can provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I'm committed to accommodating your pet's routine and will communicate with you regularly to ensure you have peace of mind while you're away. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Before each visit, I take the time to understand your pet's schedule, personality, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best possible care. During visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I'm happy to accommodate each pet's individual needs, whether that means a long walk, extra cuddle time, or a slower pace for senior or special-needs pets. I also keep litter boxes clean, clean up after pets, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl, including my special needs diabetic schnauzer, helping with insulin injections and pills. Now I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. We love to walk by the outer harbor and play outside when the weather is nice! I’m a 4th year medical student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I have daily availability and lots of energy for walks and playtime with your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I live in an apartment near the outer harbor. I prefer staying at a client’s house where your pets will be most comfortable! We love to go for walks and I have experience walking up to 3 dogs at once on my waist leash.

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats since I was 2 years old so I grew up learning to love and take care of animals! Aside from my home, I grew up around my aunt’s farm where we have anything from donkeys to chickens. It’s safe to say I’ve always been an animal lover! I’ve experienced anything from typical pet routines to those with special needs that require extra care and attention. I have experience with both puppies/kittens as well as senior pets and I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I’ve been pet sitting for others through friends and family for about 3 years since I started college and thought I’d give Rover a try! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to care for your pet! I am available mornings, nights, and weekends. Overnight care would need an advanced notice. My goal is to customize my care to fit your needs, wants, and requests. I know leaving your furry friends at home is never easy so I try my best to make that process as comfortable as possible for both pet and owner. Following your pets normal routine is my priority so they can enjoy their stay and you can enjoy your time away!

ElizaE was excellent! My dog has always tended to bark intensely at people she doesn’t know and then hide if the person doesn’t leave. ElizaE took the time to help our dog Jenna get to know her and trust her. She took her on familiar routes for her walks and let her spend some time in one of her favorite places- our back yard. It was very reassuring to get the messages and pictures and know that Jenna was having a good experience while we were gone. I highly recommend ElizaE.

About: Hi pet parents of Buffalo! Here’s a little about me: I began pet sitting on Rover 7 years ago while attending graduate school in Atlanta, and have received so much joy from meeting and caring for dozens of people’s pets throughout the years. Now, I’ve been putting down roots here in Buffalo and have made caring for pets my full time business. Based on your pet’s needs, I am available for drop ins daily between 7am-8pm, including holidays and weekends (check ins outside those hours can be discussed on an individual basis). I know how hard it can be to trust your pet with a new person. Rest assured, I will treat your pet like my own 2 cats (spoiled and loved)! I pride myself on connecting with each individual pet, my communication with clients, following instructions, and my reliability. Please, do not be embarrassed if you have a 5-page instructions document for your pet, or, alternatively, if you needed to book last-minute and only have time for a virtual meet-and-greet; I am here to adapt and provide care for your particular situation. Please send me a message or request to see if we may be a good fit. I can't wait to meet your pet! As pet sitting is my full time business, my schedule during normal business hours is very flexible. I typically accept drop-ins between the hours of 7am-8pm, although visits outside those times can be discussed on an individual basis. The services I provide are: - 30 minutes-1 hour drop-ins in the clients home to feed/play/other duties for cats/dogs/other animals -30 minutes-1 hour walks from the clients home for dogs Other time frames or scenarios can be discussed on an individual basis. For new clients, I provide a free in person or virtual meet & greet to discuss pet care before booking.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Buffalo

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Buffalo on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Buffalo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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
  • 91% 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.
