“Jackie watched our sweet and sensitive boy. She was very communicative and our pup was his normal self when we came home which is a great sign. she even took time to walk our pup a few times before we went away, which was super helpful.We feel so much more confident planning trips!”
“Jessica did great! She kept me updated, letting me know when she arrived & confirmed special instructions. She cleaned up before she left and even ran the dishwasher! Happy dog, happy house.”
“Excellent! The house was in perfect order, the pets were happy, and instructions were followed. Marideth sent pics of our dog which made us feel that our place was in good hands. Other then my dog is more spoiled she was great!”
“Jennifer has been absolutely fantastic! She is so attentive to every detail and sends multiple pictures/updates multiple times a day! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Ciara was amazing as always! She stayed over with our GSD for the weekend and she gave us constant updates and pictures throughout the entire stay! I would trust her with my babies any day!”
About: I’m newer to the Buffalo area but I’ve been dog sitting in my hometown, Auburn for a couple years now! I began helping out with the family who I babysit for’s dog and I have loved it since! Hi! I’m currently a student at Buffalo State but I have a flexible schedule and am more than willing to work with you! + have plenty of time to play with your furry friends! I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred routines. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Once again, Rachael took great care of Murphy. She was even willing to stay an extra day when we needed to extend our trip. She’s always very quick to respond to my messages, and communicates often. I definitely feel comfortable when I leave Murphy home with Rachael.”
“Carolyn so kindly came and watched Charlie on very short notice. She is so knowledgeable about dogs and so kind when she speaks to him, I knew he was in good hands. She sent a lot of updates and photos. I will absolutely ask her to care for him in the future. I can’t say enough good things about her.”
“Emma was great! So easy to communicate with, arrived on time and took the best care of Bruce! Sent lots of updates and made me very comfortable. Would be happy to have Bruce hang with her again sometime soon!”
“Cari was great with both of our dogs. She was patient with our larger dog who is very timid. We appreciated her kindness and patience with the dogs. Would recommend and will book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, young and senior for 25+ years. Your pet will be family to me. And will be loved and cared for very well. In addition, I’m neat and clean. You’re home will also be well cared for. I’m presently not working. So, I will be with your pet 24/7. I like to snuggle with my pets and hope your pet will enjoy snuggling with me. I LOVE dogs and cats! Your pet will be treated as if my own. Walks and snuggles and snacks (if you permit) will be plentiful. I’m a low key, quiet person. So your pet does not have to be fearful of me.
“My two dogs are everything to me. They are my babies and I usually have a family member take care of them. There was an emergency that I had to get someone else asap. I’m so happy I trusted Nafisa, my boys loved her. She was in communication with me while I was traveling and it made me feel less worried. She’s amazing!!”
“Sarah was great! She took the time prior to our booking to meet me and Grace and even did a “test run” before my 3 days away! She’s loving and kind and my dog Grace liked her immediately and to be honest, Grace is a rescue dog who had a hard life so she doesn’t trust easy! Sarah stayed in touch while I was away so I was confident and secure and she left my home in perfect condition! I highly recommend her and will use her often!”
“We booked Brittany for dog sitting and Brittany was so great with our dog! We have a large Siberian Husky who is very active can be difficult but Brittany was great with him. She took him on multiple walks a day, played with him, and updated us with pictures of him while we were away!”
“Ezra is AMAZING!! I cannot recommend them enough!! My dog and I have been absolutely spoiled by their care! Ezra is the sweetest human you will ever meet and they genuinely love animals! Ezra went above and beyond to put not only my dog (a senior citizen with separation anxiety) at ease but myself as well!! Ezra only watched my dog for about 9 hours but the two of them had many great adventures. As well as a long romp in the snow. Ezra was always quick to respond to me (before, during and after my booking) and really took the time to reassured me. They also sent me a plethora of pictures of their activities together. If I am ever in the area again I will without a doubt be booking with Ezra again!!”

Ciara was amazing from the very beginning. She was so accommodating and fast to set up a meet and greet with our big guy and was great with him when she came to meet him! She has the patience of a Saint and it’s so evident that she has a heart for animals! Wilson was a difficult the first 24 hours, being much more reserved and timid than his usual self and didn’t follow commands well for her but she was so loving and patient an let him warm up to her. She went above and beyond to communicate with us while we were away and sent us plenty of photos and videos to let us know our big love was well taken care of! I would highly recommend Ciara and we would love to use her again!
We couldn't ask for a better sitter for our pets! Elisabeth is so communicative, with lots of updates and pictures. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and both our cat and dog were so comfortable and happy with her. She even handmade a toy for our cat which she still loves playing with, how sweet!
Jennifer did an amazing job watching my dogs for a full week. She kept me updated and informed throughout the whole week. I don’t usually leave my dogs for a full week and Jennifer sent me pictures and updates on each visit I enjoyed my trip and felt confident they were in good care. I was so happy that I found someone to help care for my dogs. I would highly recommend her, she did a great job!
Personally, I thought what we were asking of Jackie was a huge lift, but she made it seem like no big deal. 10,000 pills, Eye drops and a rather crippled dog. Both the dog and the cat seemed super happy when we got back, not depressed. She must’ve given them plenty of attention and cared for them very well.
Jessica provided thoughtful, personalized care for our anxiety-prone pup, taking her on walks and giving her cuddles to make her feel at ease. Jessica was also kind enough to extend an additional day when our return flights were cancelled. It was great to return to our home just as we left it, with a happy pup ready to greet us. We’re so appreciative of her excellent care!
Judith is the absolute best!! As usual, our pup was treated as a princess and our house was cleaner than when we left. Judith is always prompt, honest, accommodating, respectful, caring, and professional. When we leave our girl with Judith we have absolutely no worries at all. It’s such a relief to have peace of mind leaving our sweet fur baby. Thank you Judith!!!
Kayla was a wonderful choice for our two girls Paloma and Ivy. She is kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. She paid close attention to our instructions for our pups and taking care of our fish! We would not hesitate to have her back for another sit and you should not hesitate either!
I am beyond grateful for the incredible care Hillary provided to my two rescue dogs, Astrid and Rocco. These pups aren’t the easiest to look after—they come with a full set of challenges and sensitivities—but she handled everything with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. From the thorough pre-visit questions to the daily updates (complete with thoughtful notes and adorable photos), it was clear that Astrid and Rocco were in the best hands. Hillary went above and beyond to make sure both dogs felt safe and comfortable. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter who truly understands and respects the unique needs of rescue animals!
Natalie was phenomenal with my dog, Lina over a 5 day house-sitting booking. She took the time to ask questions, and was attentive when learning about Lina's quirks and her daily routine. She'd always send multiple updates a day, pictures on walks and at meal times. My apartment was just as I left it when I returned. Would absolutely recommend her, she'll treat your dog like they're her own, and is super respectful when house sitting. Will definitely book again!
Ann made herself to care for Enzo on very short notice. Even so, she stopped by to meet him ahead of time. She kept in regular communication with us. Despite being stung by a bee on the paw (which Ann made us aware of immediately), Enzo was in excellent spirits when we arrived home. He obviously was well loved in our absence.
