“5 stars for Joy and her daughter! They took excellent care of my 2 dogs. They kept me updated, sent pictures, and when I was worried the dogs wouldn’t get along, she had baby gates ready to separate them just in case. My dogs came home happy and tired. Definitely will be re booking!”
“This was Cheatnut’s first time away from home and Kashawna made this experience amazing for him.. She took excellent care of him and gave updates and pics of how he was doing.. Very nice family and also very knowledgeable.. Thanks again and I will definitely use her in the future”

“Anne and Steven have now watched my springer spaniel Winston a number of times. They have treated him so well and keep us updated at all times. We look forward to the next time.”


About: I’ve been caring for pets—especially cats and dogs—since I was a teenager, and animals have always held a special place in my heart. In fact, I somehow figured out how to win over the neighborhood dogs when I was younger, and before long, they were stopping by my house every day to visit! My core values are simple: loving your pets unconditionally, loving their people, and building relationships based on honesty and trust—with pets and humans alike. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I treat that responsibility with the same care and attention I would want for my own animals. I work from home and take several breaks during the day to do walkies or give cuddles and pets. I'll adjust to your pet's needs and your requests. I have a partially fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy some supervised outdoor time, but I prefer taking my furry guests on walks for exercise, fresh air, and a chance to explore the neighborhood. Whether your pets need overnight companionship or just a little care and attention during the day, I can stay in your home or make scheduled visits based on what works best for you and your pets.
“Chuck was loved as always. It was a last minute trip and we wouldn’t want him with anyone else 😃 He is treated as part of the family, snuggled and played with, he always comes back happy.”

“Rachel watched Shadow for a second time recently. We had to unexpectedly move up our reservation and ended up extending on the other end as well and she was happy and willing to make the adjustment last minute. We love that someone is home all day with Shadow (what he’s used to at our home) and Shadow gets along great with Dax. He comes home with a hangover from the fun he’s had! And is always a better listener to commands when he comes home as well. They also send great photos, Shadow always seems to be smiling or passed out from play and they are very responsive to questions. We will continue to use them in the future.”

“Cameron and her girls were great! My little Isaiah was showered with love and attention during his stay. I loved all the pics and message updates. They reassured me that my baby was in good hands. I would definitely book with Cameron again if needed.”

About: I love animals and have grown up raising, training, and taking care of their overall well being. I raised and trained a pitbull pup (Nova) until she was 5 years old, with experience from taking care of cats and dogs at the time, and I now live with 2 cats and 2 dogs! I've had the cats since they were 3 months old and are now 1 year old! Both dogs are still young and both are socialized so they know and understand boundaries and are pet friendly. If you have any questions you are free to reach out anytime! I work full time, 7a-3p. I like to give boarding dogs their own room while I'm away, and I have camera's set up in there in case of an emergency. When I'm boarding I like to take them out for a few hours before I leave, bring them inside, play and/or work on any training with them and make sure they have everything they need. When I come home first thing I do is let them outside. I have tie outs so I'll watch to make sure they don't get tangled, play with them, or just keep them company if they just wanna sit. While I'm home I do allow pets on the couch, I'll have the tv on, and hang out with them or play with them, depends on the pet. My availability on Rover may not always be correct, I may be boarding other pets or house sitting. I will always let you know what's going on and see if we can make an arrangement. Feeding, giving water, cleaning litter, giving medicine, playing with them, letting them outside and/or walking them. Some things like giving medicine will need to be specified and especially if you have certain feeding habits I should be aware of just let me know. I will also send you photo updates on how they're doing!

“You're always nervous leaving your little buddy with someone they don't know, especially an older dog when they have not really had that experience before. Madison and Brianna did a great job. Since Brianna is studying to be a vet tech, I felt confident and comfortable leaving my little dog with them.”

About: Hi! i did private boarding for 14 years but only want to keep 1 or 2 from same family at a time since I'm retired. Guests are only crated when I am away from home. Recently retired and home 24/7. I have a super flexible schedule to allow for plenty of play time and walks around my farm. Must be cat friendly as I also work with cat rescue organizations and have 2 inside cats of my own. I have a super large, fenced yard with two 7 year old Border Collies who get along with everyone and everything. In addition, I have a large screened porch for an additional space. I love walks and can take yours, too, for no additional charge.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 15 years. Mostly dogs and a few cats. But willing to love and care for any pet! Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable care, stick to your pet's routine, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I truly enjoy Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, ensuring they receive individualized care based on their personality and needs. In a client's home, I also respect their space by keeping it clean, secure, and following any instructions they provide. I send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they're away. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care that helps both pets and their owners feel at ease.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have also opened my home to many foster pets throughout the years amd finding great homes for them. I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups throughout the day as I'm retired and home all day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 314 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Buffalo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Buffalo can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Buffalo home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Buffalo.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Buffalo sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 sitter 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
