“As we have encountered some medical issues within our family, Andrea's services have become a true necessity. Andrea is very reliable and most of all my big boy Mastiff loves her!”


“Excellent experience! Jenna was able to come on short notice and burned my big guy’s energy off totally! He is frisky and she was able to calm him during the walk when he got too excited. I will be returning!”


“Elisabeth has incredible energy, provides great communication and was flexible during an unexpected work trip that pulled me out of town for 20 hours. I highly recommend them!”


“Holly has been walking my dog, Amelia, three times a week for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s my first dog walker, and the experience has been excellent. Holly is consistent, communicates clearly before and after every walk, and always sends photos, which I really appreciate. Most importantly, Amelia seems to really like her! I’m so glad I found Holly, she has been a wonderful help.”


About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I am currently working a job during the afternoon on the weekdays and the weekends but I will still be available to play with your pups on the weekdays some mornings :) I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.

“The proof of Jackie’s expertise is with the pups. They adored her. She is obviously a dog person. We’ll be booking her again as a sitter. I know that bean and sprout will have a wonderful time with her. Thanks Jackie!”


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: Hi, I’m Amy — your pet’s new favorite auntie! 🐾 Since growing up with big dogs, small dogs, and cats - I have been a lifelong animal lover living vicariously through pet sitting for friends. I’ve always been the one that friends, roommates, and coworkers call when they need someone they can trust with their pets—and now I’m here for you too. Whether your furry family member is a playful pup, a chill cat, or a quirky critter, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I live an active lifestyle and love long walks, playtime, and cozy cuddle sessions. I’m happy to care for pets with all kinds of personalities—high-energy dogs, shy cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s boarding at my place or house sitting at yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know how much your pet means to you, and I’ll always follow your care routines, send regular updates, and create a stress-free experience for both of you. I currently work from home on Fridays and am available on weekends for daytime or overnight dog sitting in my home (small and medium size dogs) or house sitting/drop in visits/walks for any pets between Friday 1 pm and Sunday 8 pm. Your home or mine, I love to be active or cuddle - whatever your pet’s personality is! My backyard is not fenced in, but does have a nice space for potty breaks. I am close by Delaware park for long walks. I don’t mind if pups use a crate or roam the house - whatever you prefer, but in my home I will ask that your pet is house trained.

“Karlyn is amazing! She is reliable and great at communicating! Not to mention, I love the pictures and the details about her visit! I’d recommend her to anyone needing help with their pup!”


About: Hi there! I’m your dog’s future favorite human — the Cool Dog Auntie 😎🐕. I may not have a pup of my own (yet!), but I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends for years. From weekend stays to weeklong pup-sitting, I’ve done it all — including walking just about every waterfront trail in Erie County! During a recent 8-month break from work, I spent nearly every day walking my friend’s dog, exploring parks, playing fetch, and bonding with her like she was my own. Whether your dog needs long walks, belly rubs, or a cozy buddy while you’re away, I’m here to make them feel loved and happy. Let’s get your pup’s tail wagging — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾 I'm a hybrid worker, which means I have daytime availability on Mondays and Fridays, weekday evenings, and I'm often free on weekends (unless I'm traveling). Just reach out — I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to walk routes and favorite toys — to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I keep things clean, make sure water bowls are always full, and scoop litter or pick up waste promptly. I also keep an eye out for any unusual behavior and will reach out if something seems off. Most importantly, I give your pet plenty of love, attention, and playtime so they feel safe and cared for. You’ll get regular updates (and cute photos!), and I’ll always lock up carefully, follow your home instructions, and leave things just as I found them — or better.

“Gabby was so wonderful with my dog Eloise. I couldn't recommend her enough! I work long hours and it was so nice to get picture updates and see when she was there to pick up my girl!”

My goal is to ensure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and happy while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind! You can be assured that your pet will always be treated like family. Hi there! I’m a newly graduated physician assistant working this summer as I wait to start my PA job. My schedule is quite open and flexible for your needs. Just let me know how I can help! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets and your home. I make sure that pets feel comfortable and safe while ensuring that their needs are met as requested by their owner. In your home, I always make sure all instructions are followed carefully, respect your space, and maintain a calm, familiar routine for their pets. I also keep owners updated regularly with pictures and messages to ensure peace of mind while they’re away along with being readily available for anything they may need!
