Professional and talented house sitter! We had to leave town last minute and Elisabeth was here on schedule to meet and care for our dogs. She made record progress with our one who can be reactive to strangers, and kept them on their routine while we were away. Thanks and we will definitely rebook in the future.

Katelyn has stayed with our English bulldog Ozzy several times and she is fantastic! Our initial meet and greet was very detailed and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She not only takes great care of Ozzy, but she sends lots of updates and makes sure your house is nice & tidy after her stay. Highly recommend Katelyn.

We just moved across the US. We had to go back to our state for nine days. I had a greater peace of mind with Jessica watching our dogs. Very thankful. She sent pictures FaceTime a couple times. To say hi to our babies. I enjoyed the experience. I would hire her again. Kogi and Gus enjoyed her.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl, including my special needs diabetic schnauzer, helping with insulin injections and pills. Now I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. We love to walk by the outer harbor and play outside when the weather is nice! I’m a 4th year medical student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I have daily availability and lots of energy for walks and playtime with your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I live in an apartment near the outer harbor. I prefer staying at a client’s house where your pets will be most comfortable! We love to go for walks and I have experience walking up to 3 dogs at once on my waist leash.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was a young child and grew up in a household with several dogs, so I understand that pets are truly family members. I am committed to providing loving, reliable care tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, administering medications, or providing extra attention and comfort for senior dogs, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently working full time 8:30am-5pm, but I anticipate having more availability during the day in the near future! Best availability would be evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment and always follow each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions carefully. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have the peace of mind when you’re away!

About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I currently have a 3-year-old rescue cat named Nugget, who came from a difficult situation. Watching her grow into a happy, playful, and trusting cat has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm and caring companion, I'm happy to tailor my care to their needs. I'm currently training for my third half marathon, so I especially enjoy staying active and would love to take energetic dogs on walks, runs, and adventures. I also love photography and will happily send plenty of photos and updates so you can feel connected and confident while you're away. Communication is very important to me, and I'll keep you updated on how your pet is doing throughout my time with them. I'm also reliable, organized, and happy to help with small household tasks when needed. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a local Buffalo resident who works a hybrid schedule, I have the flexibility to provide dependable care throughout the week. My work-from-home days allow me to be available for visits, check-ins, and quality time with your pets. I'm also very active and enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, and enrichment activities into my daily routine. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, some extra attention while you're away, or a consistent routine, I'm happy to provide reliable and attentive care. I care for my own cat with lots of love, patience, and attention, and I would bring that same level of care to your pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. If I'm house sitting, I will help keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet and maintaining their space. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your furry family member. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I will make sure they receive the same love and attention that you would give them yourself.

Emma had her second stay with Lucy and Polly, and it went great. Emma is so good at sending updates and photos of the girls that I miss them when I'm away. I feel very comfortable with Emma staying with the girls in my home, knowing that they and the house are well cared for.

We had Ciara stay for Memorial Day weekend and she was great with our high maintenance fur babies. ❤️ We have a small dog who is very attached to us and she got him to warm up, play and seemed happy when we got home. We also have an older kitty who gets insulin, and she had no issues administering that. I am definitely going to reach out to Ciara again! She’s great!

We couldn't ask for a better sitter for our pets! Elisabeth is so communicative, with lots of updates and pictures. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and both our cat and dog were so comfortable and happy with her. She even handmade a toy for our cat which she still loves playing with, how sweet!

Ann made herself to care for Enzo on very short notice. Even so, she stopped by to meet him ahead of time. She kept in regular communication with us. Despite being stung by a bee on the paw (which Ann made us aware of immediately), Enzo was in excellent spirits when we arrived home. He obviously was well loved in our absence.
