“I felt really comfortable leaving my pets and home with Jackie. My pets get really sad when I leave and I knew they were in good hands the moment they met her. I’m happy to have found a pet sitter like Jackie where my pets can build a relationship with someone for when I travel for work and will be booking again right away!”


“Maia was kind enough to come to a meet and greet visit days before the sitting job. I enjoyed our time chatting and getting to know a bit about her. I felt really good about leaving Sully with her. During the actual sitting job, she had planned many activities to help keep my high energy puppy busy. We know that they went for walks, played ball and much more as he was tired out! And that was a good thing! Looking forward to a repeat visit. Thanks Maia for taking such good care of Sully.”


“Samara had no issue working with Georgia during her hyper time of day. She corrected her behavior and informed us what worked for her, as we were open for ideas. We look forward to being able to watch the bond grow between the two of them when she is needed from time to time. She also included updates with pictures which was a huge plus for us.”


“Jessica was so great with our very anxious pup! She was patient and took great care of her. I look forward to working with Jessica again soon!”


“Marti did a great job watching my cats for a week. I couldn’t be happier she communicated often. I will absolutely book her again. She took excellent care of my animals and even my most anxious cat was comfortable with her. I highly recommend Marti”


“Sydney did a great job taking care of our dogs so we could take a day trip. Will definitely seek out her services in the future!”


“Easy to work with and very kind! Our dog is high energy and needs a lot of attention. When we got home our dog was very relaxed and seemed happy.”


“First house sitting with Nicholas! Our boys were so comfortable, it did not appear they missed us at all. Wonderful experience and will absolutely work with Nicholas again.”


“Excellent! The house was in perfect order, the pets were happy, and instructions were followed. Marideth sent pics of our dog which made us feel that our place was in good hands. Other then my dog is more spoiled she was great!”


“Haley is hands down, the absolute best, end of story! Our rescue pittie has been with us for about 8 months now and he's come a long way so we decided to see if we could entertain the idea of traveling a bit but know he was in the best care. Haley house sit for us as a trial overnight and our dog immediately took to her calm approach, energy and the care she took while initially meeting him and then as she house sit for us. Her attention to detail, not only to our care guide we put together and her own expertise, but the frequency she communicates, as well as the respect she has for our house and belongings, put us at ease we made the right decision. Can't recommend Haley enough and we are so thankful (and lucky) she is here for Rueben!”


“Carolyn is absolutely wonderful person and caregiver to my 2 furry boys. She is calm, careful, respectful, dependable, responsive and just top notch -will definitely book with her again.”

“Ciara was excellent! She has great communication and followed all instructions perfectly. Sent lots of photos of Soup and Noodles and went above and beyond.”


About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving extra belly rubs, or noticing the little things that keep pets happy and healthy, I take pride in being helpful and detail-oriented. I know how important trust is when it comes to your furry family member, and I’m here to give you peace of mind with every visit. Pet sitting is a great fit for me right now as I prepare to relocate after the summer. It allows me to do something I truly enjoy, spending time with animals, while also helping me get ready for my upcoming move. I’m reliable, attentive, and love making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in their own space. Whether it’s keeping up with their routine or just being a comforting presence, I’m here to help both pets and their people feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them with the same love and attention I give my own dog, Bella. I make it a priority to help them feel safe and comfortable by following their usual routine and respecting their space and needs. I know how important consistency is, so I stick closely to your instructions and pay attention to the little things, because they matter. If I ever notice anything out of the ordinary, I’ll let you know right away. Your pet’s well-being always comes first, and I care for them as if they were my own.

“Awesome sitter, felt we could absolutely trust her with both our dog and my parent’s dog. Loved the bonus update pictures!”


“So very happy to have Haley stay with my girls! I got many updates and photos that made me feel comfortable and happy being away. She was always on time and very friendly with them :) I would definitely recommend having Haley watch your babies!”


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.

“Amy was great and I highly recommend! She cared for my dog & cat overnight & sent picture updates throughout the day. Even my neighbors complemented seeing her walk my Nala and how good she was taking care of her. I will definitely hire her again. Thank you Amy!”


“Highly recommend!! I am always nervous leaving my 2 pups when I go out of town, but Munira made me feel absolutely comfortable. Her patience, kindness, and natural connection with my dogs made all the difference. She sent regular updates that made me smile, and I could tell Astrid and Rocco were relaxed and happy throughout the week. I truly can’t thank Munira enough for giving me peace of mind and my dogs a fantastic experience!”


“Ray did an amazing job with my two older frenchies - they were incredibly well cared for while I was away. This was my first time using Ray and Rover, and I will absolutely use Ray again. Perfect care for the dogs and very trustworthy at your home.”


“Hillary stayed in our home overnight with our 11-year-old Chow/Lab mix. She kept him happy and to his schedule. Being part chow, he is perfectly content to lay on the couch and watch Netflix, but Hillary made sure he not only had plenty of couch time, but also took him for frequent strolls around the block. She pays attention to detail and Buddy will be hanging out with her again soon!”

Nicole G.
“Nicole has been walking and watching my dog for the last five years. She is an excellent caretaker. Her enthusiasm for going on long and unique walks always keeps my dog entertained. During these walks she attends to the needs of my dog who can be very skittish in new situations or if there are loud noises. She ensures my dog is safe and happy. In addition to walking my dog, Nicole has hosted her while I have been traveling. Nicole has created a welcoming and safe environment that my dog feels at home with. Nicole follows care taking instructions and provides updates while dog sitting. I would highly recommend Nicole to help care for your dog!”

Ciara was excellent! She has great communication and followed all instructions perfectly. Sent lots of photos of Soup and Noodles and went above and beyond.

Awesome sitter, felt we could absolutely trust her with both our dog and my parent’s dog. Loved the bonus update pictures!

Carolyn was so kind to our old fella and our very nervous younger fella- she is an incredibly sweet soul! She was communicative and reliable, put us right at ease.

Amy was great and I highly recommend! She cared for my dog & cat overnight & sent picture updates throughout the day. Even my neighbors complemented seeing her walk my Nala and how good she was taking care of her. I will definitely hire her again. Thank you Amy!

Abby was so gracious and took care of Fig over a stressful weekend for him (he’s afraid of fireworks). She was communicative and kind, and left our doggo happy and home spotless. Thank you!
Jackie was wonderful with Luna ( my willful Pom) and Mei ( cat). Jackie accommodated neighbors and friends coming by to water outside and bringing their dogs for a visit . Would certainly recommend!

Natalie did a great job. I appreciate her help and she is always sending pictures and updates . Thank you Natalie

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.

Gabby was the best house sitter for my two dogs when I was away for work. She provides consistent and clear communication and cared for both of my dogs and my home like they were her own. I highly recommend her!

Munira is reliable and caring for our dog. We have used her long time house sitting service for a week. She is mindful on the instructions we left her and maintain the house neat and clean. I recommend her service.

Brittany was a great pet sitter! She took amazing care of our dogs, cats, and our axolotl. We came home to a clean house and well cared for pets.

Judith can be counted on to never cancel, be awesome, and deal with “unexpected issues” that pop up with doggos.

Jessica was absolutely wonderful. She house sat for me and my two pups and cat. They loved her, she took great care of my place, and she sent me photo updates while I was gone. We can’t wait to book her again next time! Thanks, Jessica!

Kaitlyn is very kind and took great care of our kitties. Our house was spotless when we got home. Definitely would recommend her!

Miss Anna took such good care of our cats and dog while we were away for 8 days! She sent many pictures and videos of playing and caring for them. We will be calling her again anytime we leave for a trip!

Ray did an amazing job with my two older frenchies - they were incredibly well cared for while I was away. This was my first time using Ray and Rover, and I will absolutely use Ray again. Perfect care for the dogs and very trustworthy at your home.

Haley was great - took good care of our crew and followed instructions to the letter. Provided photos that showed all was well. Highly recommend!

Sam was absolutely amazing with our senior English Bulldog. We adopted her recently and hadn’t left her alone with anyone other than immediate family. Sam quickly settled in with Daisy and made her (and us!) comfortable. Sam sent just the right amount of messages and pictures while we were away. We could not have asked for anyone better to have stayed with our little girl. Thank you so much, Sam!
