“Makayla did a wonderful job taking care of our elderly cat while we were away on vacation. Her regular updates and photos gave us great peace of mind knowing that Marble was being well cared for. We would definitely trust her if we ever need a sitter again! Thanks, Makayla!”

“I have no complaints! Sabrina took great care of my kitty. I feel like she gave him lots of attention and seemed to give him plenty of play time. Xander tends to have separation anxiety when I leave but he didn't seem stressed when I finally got home which is a wonderful sign. I was very happy to hear he warmed up to her after the first days because he can be wary and shy of strangers. She did everything I asked of her, checked into each visit on time, and always submitted thorough reports and photos about her visits. I'll request her to pet sit in the future if possible.”

“Christina was great and kept us informed of our home and kitties while we were away. She got better pictures of our cats than we ever have & they were happy & healthy when we returned home. We will definitely be having Christina watch our kitties again!”

“Michelle was a great cat sitter for Cheddar! She dropped in 5 times for us, was on time, communicated with us, and took care of Cheddar’s needs while we were away. Michelle has helped us twice now and we will book her again in the future. Thank you 😺”

“Thank you, Joan, for looking after my precious girls! I so appreciate being able to leave home knowing they will be loved and cared for so well. Thank you also for looking after issues at the house and for communicating well with us while we were away!”

“Jenna was a pleasure to communicate with, she sent many pics with the cats, and was always on time. All the pets seemed very happy on our arrival home! Highly recommend and will hire again!”
“Emma was fantastic! She did everything perfectly, followed my dogs strict diet, and schedule. When my dog needed to go to the emergency vet. Emma took her and did everything perfectly, I could also tell my dog warmed up to her very quickly, and loved her pets! Emma was fantastic and I plan to use her services again. I would also reccommend her to any family and friends! <3”

About: As a future veterinary student, I have gained over 1,000+ hours of hands-on animal experience across species and age groups. Becoming a veterinarian is my lifelong goal, so caring for animals is my greatest passion. I am skilled in handling puppies, senior pets, and those needing a little extra attention, ensuring safe, dependable, and loving care! I am currently only working part-time on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays (with an occasional day over the weekend), which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I provide care by maintaining each pet’s usual schedule, whether it’s feeding, walks, medication, or cuddle time. As someone with an anxiety-prone dog, I understand how important comfort and consistency are. My goal is always to reduce stress and ensure pets feel safe, secure, and loved in their familiar environment.
“Sierra is fantastic! Our kitty boys love her, and she is super conscientious dealing with their medications and cleaning up after them while we’re gone. Would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone to take care of their fur babies!”

About: I have been a dog lover since I was young, my dad was a breeder/trainer of labradors for field trials. I have experience with training and handling of many kinds of dogs. Last summer our family said goodbye to our two dogs (a lab and a miniature dachshund) and in December we added a new mini dachshund to our house! I still have plenty of time (and energy!) to help out other pet “parents”. I will give your pets all the love they need!! I am mature, responsible and love being active! My profile might be a little confusing since I spend summer months in Minnesota, winter in Florida and “shoulder seasons” in western New York but I love staying busy no matter where I am!! I am currently not working in a structured job so will have a very flexible schedule. I can make most times work on both weekdays and weekends! At this time I am not able to care for pets in my home—will be happy to take care of your dogs at your home.
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I've had big dogs my entire life and currently own a 90 pound mastiff mix who I've raised since he was a puppy. In addition to dogs, my family and I also foster kittens, so I’m very comfortable with both canine and feline care, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting services for friends and neighbors, caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I treat every animal like they're my own. I currently work part-time, which allows me to be very flexible with scheduling. Whether you need a walk, overnight stay, weekend care, or something in between, I'm happy to accommodate your needs! If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I prioritize keeping things consistent and stress-free for your pet. I follow all your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, walking, administering medication, or simply spending time with them to keep them calm and happy. I respect your space and ensure your home stays clean and secure while you're away.
About: 30 year old located in Cheektowaga who has reliable transportation and experience with pet sitting since high school. I’m organized and responsible as I have grown up with dogs ranging in weight/ size my whole life as well as having my own currently. Therefore, I feel confident and comfortable helping you and taking care of your pet whether it be walks or administering medicine as needed! My most recent dog watching includes a house with one small dog that has been reoccurring over the past 3 years, and another house with two dogs (one small, one medium), a cat, and a bird. Both dogs require specific diet instructions. I look forward to chatting with you and the opportunity to make a new fur friend! I do work full time Monday through Friday during the day, but I do not have any children so my nights and weekends are extremely flexible! In my own home I have a completely fenced in yard, but walk my dog almost every day (weather permitting). Daily playtime and snuggles are also part of our routine!

“Michelle was great! She seemed very friendly over messages and was very responsive. She came over for a visit with my cat, Juniper, while I was away. She took some super cute pictures of Juniper on her visit. Juniper had a pretty full food dish and plenty of water when I got home too. I highly recommend Michelle. She did a great job!”
“Jordan is absolutely wonderful! She did daily drop-in visits with our kitty, always on time, kitty was fed, entertained and loved, litter box scooped. We received daily updates and pics. I highly recommend Jordan to care for your fur babies!”
