“This was our second time with Jackie and it went great! She sent daily updates, which were much appreciated. Jackie also took really great care of my home and left things very clean and tidy!”
“Maia was kind enough to come to a meet and greet visit days before the sitting job. I enjoyed our time chatting and getting to know a bit about her. I felt really good about leaving Sully with her. During the actual sitting job, she had planned many activities to help keep my high energy puppy busy. We know that they went for walks, played ball and much more as he was tired out! And that was a good thing! Looking forward to a repeat visit. Thanks Maia for taking such good care of Sully.”

About: Hi there! I’m your dog’s future favorite human — the Cool Dog Auntie 😎🐕. I may not have a pup of my own (yet!), but I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends for years. From weekend stays to weeklong pup-sitting, I’ve done it all — including walking just about every waterfront trail in Erie County! During a recent 8-month break from work, I spent nearly every day walking my friend’s dog, exploring parks, playing fetch, and bonding with her like she was my own. Whether your dog needs long walks, belly rubs, or a cozy buddy while you’re away, I’m here to make them feel loved and happy. Let’s get your pup’s tail wagging — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾 I'm a hybrid worker, which means I have daytime availability on Mondays and Fridays, weekday evenings, and I'm often free on weekends (unless I'm traveling). Just reach out — I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to walk routes and favorite toys — to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I keep things clean, make sure water bowls are always full, and scoop litter or pick up waste promptly. I also keep an eye out for any unusual behavior and will reach out if something seems off. Most importantly, I give your pet plenty of love, attention, and playtime so they feel safe and cared for. You’ll get regular updates (and cute photos!), and I’ll always lock up carefully, follow your home instructions, and leave things just as I found them — or better.
“Colleen was reliable, friendly and great with our pets!”
“Carolyn is the absolute best! She loves and treats our Lily as if she were her own and we couldn't be more grateful to have found her. Complete peace of mind while we were gone and she constantly kept us updated with photos and videos.”

“Ray did an amazing job with my two older frenchies - they were incredibly well cared for while I was away. This was my first time using Ray and Rover, and I will absolutely use Ray again. Perfect care for the dogs and very trustworthy at your home.”
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful Beste was with my little dog Harry. He is elderly, blind and hard of hearing. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Beste. He is on medications and is a finicky eater. He took his meds from Beste and he ate well. He is sometimes incontinent but during her 3 day stay he only had one accident. She sent me many pics and videos and I was able to enjoy my long weekend away without having to worry about Harry. I highly recommend Beste, she is the best.”

In addition to walking my dog, Nicole has hosted her while I have been traveling. Nicole has created a welcoming and safe environment that my dog feels at home with.

Haley was by far the best pet sitter we’ve had. Everything was from start to finish seamless. Looking forward to the future bookings we have planned. Thank you for everything Haley.
Jackie was wonderful with Luna ( my willful Pom) and Mei ( cat). Jackie accommodated neighbors and friends coming by to water outside and bringing their dogs for a visit . Would certainly recommend!
Natalie did a great job. I appreciate her help and she is always sending pictures and updates . Thank you Natalie
Ciara was the best! She clearly loves animals and we're confident that our kitties enjoyed her company. She provided such thoughtful updates throughout the weekend. Our house looked great upon our return too!
I highly recommend Carolyn! She took great care of my two cats. Her updates gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even administered their medication.
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.
Gabby was the best house sitter for my two dogs when I was away for work. She provides consistent and clear communication and cared for both of my dogs and my home like they were her own. I highly recommend her!
Judith can be counted on to never cancel, be awesome, and deal with “unexpected issues” that pop up with doggos.
Jessica was absolutely wonderful. She house sat for me and my two pups and cat. They loved her, she took great care of my place, and she sent me photo updates while I was gone. We can’t wait to book her again next time! Thanks, Jessica!
Ray did an amazing job with my two older frenchies - they were incredibly well cared for while I was away. This was my first time using Ray and Rover, and I will absolutely use Ray again. Perfect care for the dogs and very trustworthy at your home.
Jaddua is an absolutely outstanding pet sitter. We always have great peace of mind when we know Ace is with Jaddua. Would highly recommend him to care for your beloved pets!
She was wonderful!.Maddie took great care of our fur babies while.we were out of town! Highly recommend her and will hire her again!
I can’t say enough about how wonderful Beste was with my little dog Harry. He is elderly, blind and hard of hearing. He doesn’t like many people but he loved Beste. He is on medications and is a finicky eater. He took his meds from Beste and he ate well. He is sometimes incontinent but during her 3 day stay he only had one accident. She sent me many pics and videos and I was able to enjoy my long weekend away without having to worry about Harry. I highly recommend Beste, she is the best.
Beatrice was an absolute lifesaver! She stayed with our pup at our home and gave him the best care. Our dog was comfortable and happy. The house felt safe knowing someone trustworthy was looking after everything. Highly recommend for in-home pet sitting.
Nicholas was a fantastic sitter! When we did the meet and greet, he spent ample time with us as we went over both Bear (GSD) and Spyro's (Bearded Dragon) daily routine. While staying at our house, he was able to administer oral medication to Spyro and food/hang out with Bear (who definitely has separation anxiety issues). He was even able to walk Bear even though he is dog reactive! We got photos while we were gone as well, which was nice. I highly recommend Nicholas!
Madison took such amazing care of Oliver during a long shift. She let him snuggle her and gave lots of love. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and communication. Definitely recommend! I’m sure Ollie is looking forward to next visit.
Hillary was a fantastic sitter for our rowdy and quirky Jack Russell, which means she would do great with any pet. After four days away from our pup, plants, and house, we found everything in perfect happy order. I would definitely book Hillary again and recommend her services!
Sofia stayed with our pup overnight and cared for our 3 cats while we were gone as well. Sofia provided many updates and we came home to all our animals well taken care of
