About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.

About: Hi! I’m Sasha—a calm, attentive, and upbeat caregiver who adapts easily to each pet’s unique needs. I’m gentle and nurturing when animals need comfort, and energetic and playful when they’re ready for exercise and engagement. I work from home full-time and set my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m an early riser (usually up by 6 a.m.) and love starting mornings with walks and fresh air before the day gets busy. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16 years old, including my own family dog, and I take pride in creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment. My apartment has a spacious, open layout with minimal clutter—perfect for pets to relax and move comfortably. I’m also surrounded by green spaces and walking areas in my neighborhood, making daily exercise easy and enjoyable. During the winter months, my home is always warm and cozy, ensuring your pet stays comfortable year-round. I treat every pet as if they were my own and prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Dog sitting fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around pets’ needs, including regular walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on maintaining consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide.

“We appreciate Mindy's flexibility with our dog sitting needs while visiting Buffalo. She was friendly and communicative, too. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed in Mindy's home. Will be using Mindy's services again.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. All of my dogs are extremely spolied. I have extensive experience with all breeds and temperments. I have worked professionally with dogs in small and large (over 100 dogs) settings. I also have a canine behavior degree. I have hands on experience as well as a cerification for grooming. All kinds of dogs are welcome in my home, any size and any age. I have many repeat clients that I have been petsitting for years! My dogs and I spend hours everyday doing physical and mental stimulation, I would love to have yours join us. I am very flexible and can help you in any way you need; from walking and playing with your dog, to being their comfort when you need to travel or work. I can help with whatever your needs may be. Contact me if you are interested in what I can do! Thank you! ** Bathing pricing will depend on the size and coat condition of the dog** I do my best to keep them to the schedule they are used to with feeding times, rules, etc. We play in the yard for hours every day, in summertime the pool is out as well! I only accept evening drop off/ pick ups typically after 730. If you need accommodations to this please ask in advance. I do have a full time job but someone is home with the dogs most of the time. If we all need to leave for some reason, the dogs are separated accordingly. I have a fully fenced in yard. For walks I ensure all harnesses or collars are tight enough so they can not slip out. I take care of every dog as they are my own. I also provide updates and pictures of their vacation while you are on yours!

“He’s a great person and a huge animal lover! Apollo loves him and loves playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Jose for all your pet sitting needs, he’s the best!”

“Julia was so sweet and helped Finney feel right at home. She was attentive to all his needs and even sent me pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. I’m so happy she could help me out!”

“This was a last minute booking and Holly was more than eager to watch our Anakin. Holly was a delight to meet, very friendly, outgoing, and personable. She was great with Anakin and sent us updates, pictures throughout the day and had him play with her dog and asked if she could give him things before providing anything. Holly made us feel at ease and Anakin was very happy when we picked him up and even got a new toy which he has not let go. We highly recommend Holly for your pet care needs and will use her again if we’re in the area. Thank you Holly!”

“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”

About: Hello! My name is Akeira and I have a passion for dog sitting! I love walking, playing, and overall interacting with dogs all around. The best times are the times with puppers! That being said, I’ll spoil your dog with treats, affection, play time and overall fun. I work from home, so if you need a pet sitter during the morning times, afternoon/evening times then I’ll be available. I am very flexible with sizing of dogs, weight and special attention if need be for a dog. We have a spacious back yard, so your dog would be able to run around and play till it’s hearts content. I currently have 3 animals in my home. My two cats Frank and Squeak and my dog, Eleanor. I do have 10+ years of experience with dog care and training. If you have any questions feel free to ask away! Thanks. I currently work from home, so I would be able to provide adequate attention to your pup and frequent outside potty and play breaks. If they are on a specific time routine for food, I will be able to give them their food at that time. I offer the utmost amount of love, play time and potty breaks in my home. I am a very extroverted, fun loving individual who LOVES caring for animals and providing a home away from home. Should you have any questions, my response time is very fast. I also love to take photos of pets, so you would definitely have updates of your pets while they are in my care.

“Kevin is great! We did meet and greet before Remy starts daycare. Can't express enough how lucky and thankful of Kevin, provides excellent care. His flexible and accommodating, we get updates how Remy's day went, communicates any concerns, and send photos throughout the day. Peace of mind. Remy is happy to see Kevin and Hoochou (Kevin's dog his Golden Retriver) full of energy, gentle and super friendly. Best combo Remy is older and Hoochou is younger balance. Thank you!”

About: I grew up in the country, always having two dogs and two cats. This fostered a true love for them inside of me! I have 10 years of experience caring for not just cats and dogs, but farm animals as well. My experience also bleeds into house sitting and taking care of these pets over night. I used to have a dog who was blind and diabetic, so I am aware of how taking his blood sugar works, and how to administer insulin shots. I also have experience with puppies, as my dog had 11 puppies years ago. I would love to be entrusted in walking/playing with/caring for your dog. Please consider allowing me to keep your pets happy and healthy in my care. My partner and I work together to care for animals we are entrusted with. He works from home and I work part time, so together we are able to provide lots of exercise, walks, and naps for your animals. We have a large yard with a long line to let your dog out on to enjoy the outdoors. Our friendly retriever mix will be a great companion and give your pup some socialization as well. We have toys for them to play with as well.

“Thank you Meghana for caring for Charlie and for giving frequent updates on how she was doing while she was in your care. It's much appreciated!”

“Gabrielle did an amazing job taking care of our Scarlett! She kept us updated with photos throughout the evening, and it was so reassuring to see Scarlett looking happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I have no doubt Scarlett will be thrilled to stay with her again in the future.”

“Monica is a great dog sitter. She treated our dog Yuko like her own. We stayed in Buffalo last week of August for a few days and we used Monica for 2 days. I would definitely recommend Monica if you ever need your pet to be care for in Buffalo, NY.”

“Lauren connected very well with my fur girl from the very beginning. Looking at the pictures that she share I could definitely see that being outside on the balcony with Lauren was one of her favorite times of her stay....as she took in the sights and sounds of the neighborhood along with catching a few rays!”

“Lindsay was awesome! Super helpful with my last minute need for care for Millie and Thor.

When I went to pick them up they both seemed happy and well cared for. Very please with her service she was super friendly and welcomed my fur babies with loving open arms. I would definitely book again when needed. Thank you so much Lindsay!!”

About: I’ve had pets growing up my entire life! The level of personal care I give every animal sets me apart.

We make sure every animal feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. • Family Time & Play: Your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, and fun activities with all of us. • Feeding & Health: I follow your pet’s routine, including meals and medications, to keep them healthy and comfortable. • Exercise & Adventure: Dogs enjoy walks, yard play, and indoor games, while cats and smaller pets get enriching activities tailored just for them. • Comfort & Safety: Your pet will have cozy spaces to rest and feel secure with our family. I have a huge backyard for play and plenty of room inside our home. . Pet Care At Clients Home: When I take care of pets in your home, my goal is to provide love, attention, and consistency while respecting your pet’s routine. I treat your home and pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. • Updates for You: We love sending photos and messages so you can see your pet thriving while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet in my home feels loved, safe, and happy—just like they would with their own family.

“I received a constant stream of pictures of Sophie’s stay with Ruth and her wonderful family. I felt safe leaving my precious Service Dog in her hands for the the evening. Ruth’s caring and love for dogs is worth twice the price! I’m am totally bonded to Sophie, having been with her since she was 8 weeks old and trained with her from puppy school right through Service Dog work, every step of the way. We’ve never been apart more then 4 hours. Sophie loved here little mini-vacation at Ruth’s house. If the need arises again when I’m in town I definitely will contact Ruth to watch my girl for me!”
