About: Hi fellow dog lovers, my name is Rocky, a 25 yo male college undergrad that just moved here to buffalo. I’m originally from New Orleans Louisana. I come from a home of two shih-tzu dogs, (Popsicle and Levi), which I had to leave behind with my mom and sister. I enjoyed walking, feeding, stimulating, and just being all around loved by my two best friends. And I am looking to explore the same opportunities with your beloved pet. I promise to give the upmost care and attention that your pet deserves. Pick me as your personal rover walker or sitter, and let the worries go. You will come home to a relaxed, well excercised, and already gone for a potty, loving dog. That is my promise.

About: Chilling with pets is my favorite self-care! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. My speciality is rescue animals and all of my cats over the years have been from shelters. I've taken care of all types of cats and dogs from pugs to German Shepards, from kittens to senior cats. I am very gentle, compassionate, and give great pet back scratches! I currently work as a social worker and my schedule is very flexible. This means I am available outside a traditional Monday - Friday 9am-5pm schedule. I follow your instructions like a recipe and am proactive about asking questions related to the care of your pet. In addition, my former roommate is a practicing veterinarian and is on-call for me 24/7. :)


“Jessica is very friendly and took good care of our girl. She took plenty of pictures and contacted us after her stop to give us an update. Would definitely recommend!”


“Baxter really enjoyed his walks with Nishara. She was so caring and thoughtful of Baxters needs during a very hot week and made sure he got lots of shade and water on his walks. Baxter would give her 5 paws out of 5 paws! Highly recommend.”


About: I've fostered a variety of dogs and puppies of different ages for many years. I have also dog sat for friends before and am reliable. I’ve had dogs all my life, so know how to take care of them in every stage of their life. I'm currently working part time, so I will be available to play with your pets and fulfill their needs. I always make sure my dogs are well taken care of and exercised. I always go outside with the animals so they won't run away and so I can keep an eye on them. I also walk dogs to get some exercise and play with them. I make sure to give them a lot of attention.

About: I've been lucky to share my life with two amazing dogs. One was a sweet 11-year-old deaf golden retriever that I adopted, and my first dog was a German Shepherd that I raised from a puppy until her sad passing. So, I definitely have plenty of puppy experience. For over a year now, I've been a dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, working with several wonderful clients and their furry friends. I always make sure to treat the pets in my care just like my own. I pet sit and dog walk full-time. Potty breaks are no more then 2 hours apart. I am not gone often outside of the home. I love taking the dogs outside to play every couple of hours. I feed them twice daily with half portions to help them eat more slowly, unless the owner has different instructions. My home is always clean, and I use couch covers so my pets can feel free to roam and get comfy on the couch. I enjoy walking dogs and can easily handle up to three at a time—it's excellent exercise for me and the pups. Plus, I have a medium-sized, fenced yard where we can play fetch and have potty time. That way, the dogs get plenty of exercise and are nice and tired when it’s time to go home. I don’t do house sitting, but during check-ins, I always leave everything tidy and take care of all the litter, food, and water.

Michele S.
“This is my testimonial for my long time friend Michele Shull. My husband & I moved to PA in 2004 & needed a groomer as we had 4 dogs at that time. We saw her mobile van in the gas station, took the phone no off of it & she's been a great friend ever since. At that time she became our groomer & for years after until she moved. As a groomer she is excellent, takes her time, treats the dogs with care & cuts to their breed as well as to the customer's request. Quite a few times we needed to be away from the house for 6 hrs or so & she would come in put them out, feed them, give them their meds if needed, sit with them, play with them & put them out again before she left. She loves animals & respects them. She is honest & trustworthy & dependable and became one of our dearest friends. I would recommend her to any customer in the care of their pet. If you require anything else from me, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you, Roberta Belden”
