An incredibly kind and compassionate human, who has a way with my beloved Westie, Charlie. It made our day to have met her and we can't wait to see her again for a walk or drop in visits this Fall.

Kimberly really helped out in a pinch with a meet and greet and taking my baby out for a walk. We are looking forward to more positive experiences with her.

Desirae was fantastic walking my two dogs! She was so helpful after I broke my foot! She was on time for every walk, my dogs looked forward to seeing her as much as I was. Will definitely use Desirae again for my dog walking / sitting needs. Highly recommended.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so taking care of them just comes naturally to me. I also volunteer at local shelters, which has helped me learn how to handle all kinds of dogs with different personalities. I’m really patient and pay attention to what each dog needs, so they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits really easily into my week since I’m currently out of school, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can adjust to what your dog needs, whether that’s regular walks or last-minute help I basically treat your home and pet like my own. I follow your routine, make sure your pet gets everything they need, and spend time with them so they’re not stressed or lonely. I also keep you updated so you know how everything’s going.

We love Sara! Most importantly, so does our dog Flynn! Sara has been so easy to work with, so flexible with our ever-changing schedule, and always quick to respond. She leaves us the cutest pictures and keeps us updated on how he does on his walks. We are thrilled to have found someone consistent that we can trust who loves our pup!

About: Growing up my family had 3 pups of our own and we also fostered, so i started learning how to work with and train dogs very early on. In 2022 I started dog sitting for people in my neighbourhood. In 2024 I worked at a daycare where I started doing training sessions for some of our clients. By 2025 I got certified in pet CPR and first aid, and started working at a different daycare. I love learning about and working with dogs, and i can’t wait to meet yours! I use a training/care style that makes trust and teamwork between me and your dog, i understand that when setting new expectations or training a new skill it is up to me to help the dog understand, not get frustrated or scare them into submission. I believe patience and consistency are keys to success! I am pretty much fully available weekends, mondays, and tuesdays! Any other day of the week i am available after 6pm when i get out of work. I do not pet sit in my own home because i have 2 disabled cats, however I am willing to stay in your home to pet sit, or just stop by throughout the day/night if that is what you prefer! I can work with any of your dogs special needs and administer medications. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority, tell me what you need and I will make it happen!

About: Over the years, I have owned 11 cats and 4 dogs, not to mention hamsters, guinea pigs and birds. I have always loved animals, and have a gentle approach to care as I think often our pets are scared enough when their owners need to be away. I enjoy trying to ease their fears or stressors, and getting their licks and purrs in return. I am recently retired and generally have a flexible schedule, depending on whether I'm traveling or not. Usually I'm able to work with your schedule. I believe in play and exercise as a way to ease the stress of owners being gone. But of course I listen to my clients and maintain whatever routine they think works for their pet. They know best. With my own dog, we walk twice a day and play occasional games in between (but she is an older chihuahua mix and mostly wants to sit by my side and take naps!). I lost my latest cat last year, but my daughter has a two year old kitty who LOVES to jump, run and play and it's so fun to see what he can get into!

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. :)

I was so happy with the care Tara gave to my 2 German shepherds. She walked them daily for me and played with them with the same amount of care I give them when i was on vacation. I highly recommend her and would hire her again in the future

About: Hello, I’m Deanna! I have lived in the Buffalo area all my life & previously have had 2 dogs. I currently have a 3 year old dog at home. I have done 100+ services on another platform with a 4.98/5 rating. I am looking for some doggy’s to socialize with, provide them with activity & get some energy out! *Please note I am available for sitting but unable to sleep at the house due to childcare* I work remotely and am available during day for pets that need often check-ins. If your dog cannot be left alone for 4+ hours, I am your girl! I will follow instructions left by owner and check in with the owner if questions arise; everyone has their own routine and I want pet & parent as comfortable as possible.

About: I have taken care of dogs for family, friends, clients and coworkers for several years. I love animals of all kinds and am reliable, communicative, and pay close attention to pets in my care. Currently I work nights Sunday through Wednesday, so I’m currently not available for overnight stays on those days. I can stop by after work in the morning and throughout the day for check ins or walks. Thursday through Sunday (during the day) I’m available. I am happy to provide references and am also open to meeting in person beforehand so that I can answer any questions clients may have. I follow instructions to a “T” and will provide top quality care for your pets.

About: I have taken care of my own two dogs for 10 years now. I also cat sit and care for friends and family; including giving medications and special dietary needs. I work a flexible job from home and can do my best to meet your needs! I am home to take walks on my lunch break and let the dog out for frequent bathroom breaks. Fenced yard with two small dogs of my own (very friendly). I prefer to watch pets in my own home for extended stays and can be flexible.

About: Thankyou for considering me to watch something so important to you. A little about me, I own 1 Siberian Husky and 1 German Shepherd. One is 8 years old the Shepherd is about to turn 2. They are a crazy, energetic, friendly breeds. They keep me on my toes and have showed me how different two dogs can be. I love all dogs. And would love to get to know yours. Through all the research I’ve done with my own dogs, I know quite a bit of information about dog body language and how to read them. I feel confident I could care for your dog(s) and keep them and myself completely safe, no matter the situation. I hope you have a wonderful day and Thankyou again for taking the time to read about me. I’m currently working for myself. So I will have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend to the best of my ability. I love to interact and be fun with the dogs. I like to get mine running to get their energy out. It’s great what a game of fetch can do or a quick jog/walk.

About: I have always loved taking care of animals! I started my first job at a dog daycare when I was 16 and worked there for 5 years until I had to move away for college. I am currently working a full time job, but miss taking care of animals and would like to fit some time in whenever I can help! Safety is my number one concern when it comes to watching someone else’s pet. I always take extra precautions to make sure a pet can’t escape or harm themselves or anyone else. I’ve thoroughly learned dog behavior over the years so I can recognize easily and quickly if something may go wrong.

Jason has only been visiting Margo for a couple of weeks but she looks forward to seeing him. He's really good with her and it's comforting to know that he has medical experience.
