“Amanda did a great job taking care of both home and pooch while we were away. The house was spotless when we came back and the dog was a happy girl. Thanks to Amanda and David for helping us out! I'll be sure to ask them again when we have to travel!”
“Barb was fantastic! We were very hesitant to leave our dogs with someone new; however, we are new to this area and needed to find someone dependable for when we are away. We definitely found that in Barb! She put us at ease quickly. During the meet and greet our dogs loved her and it was clear that she knew how to play with and care for dogs. Her genuine love for dogs was evident in the consistent communication and photos that she shared while we were away. We will definitely use Barb again and would highly recommend you giving her a try if you are in need.”

This was the first time w electric our 6-month old pup with a sitter and we couldn’t be happier. She checked in by text over the course of the evening and sent pictures of how things were going. Rufus loved her! She also does pet photography and took some gorgeous photos of our boy.”

“Karen was amazing with my 2 furry guys! She was calm, caring and took great attention to them. Jack needed daily pills and she was able to do that effortlessly. Karen shared multiple daily texts and pictures too! She was so gracious and left my house very clean upon returning from a week long family vacation. Very kind, respectable and caring-top notch and I highly recommend. Thank you Karen!!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better person to watch my dog, Simon! Grace kept me updated with photos, fun little stories, and was incredibly attentive to all of Simon's needs. I'd trust Grace again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your dog like family!”
“Mackenzie was great! She took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our booking so she could meet the boys, see the house, and make sure it was a good fit. We learned about her dog and were super comfortable leaving the boys (and our home) in her care. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. The boys loved her. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others.”
About: I absolutely love dogs. My wife's family has always had dogs. They currently have a German Shepard and a chocolate lab. I absolutely adore them. I have a large fenced in yard, I am also very flexible to come and sit anytime you need. I love taking dogs for a walk and I love playing with them at the park especially fetch! I am very reliable and safe and come from a dog family. I will love and care for your dog like I it is my own. My children are now in middle school and high school and they love dogs as well. I can provide loving and affection for your dog and care for it like it was my own. I hope to hear from you soon Taking care of a pet just becomes part of my everyday flow. You feed them, take them out or clean up after them, and make time to play or cuddle a bit. Most days involve quick things like feeding and walks, while once a week you might do a deeper clean or grooming. It’s not too hard once you get into a rhythm—it just becomes routine. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, whether they’re in my home or a client’s. That includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, and making time for walks, play, or snuggles—whatever they need to feel happy and relaxed. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible to keep things familiar. If I’m in a client’s home, I also make sure everything stays clean and tidy, and I always send updates so they know their pet is doing great. I also have a fenced in yard.
About: A safe environment for your furry friends when you're away. I will ensure that your dogs receive the attention, care, and exercise they need. From playtime to walks, cuddles to feeding, I will keep your pups happy and healthy. A loving pet owner of a nine year old St. Bernard. Can administer medicine if needed. I will spend mornings and evenings with your pet(s)! I do work full time; if your home is a reasonable distance from where I work, I can drop by for lunch time potty breaks or walks. Your pet will go no more than 8-hours without me being there. As someone who travels often, I know what it feels like to worry about your pet while gone. I will abide by any house rules (even if that means they can’t sleep in the bed with me), and send lots of pictures and updates to give you a sound mind while away from your pups.
“So happy with Elizabeth. My dogs were very well taken care of and we’ll definitely set up another appointment. She sent pictures and we felt very comfortable leaving for an overnight. Definitely recommend.”
“Sanibel had an amazing time with Stephanie. She hung out with her 2 nights in a row during our wedding weekend. The 2nd night as soon as she saw her she was prancing her way excited to spend the night with her. Stephanie was super flexible and accommodating and we knew right away Sanibel wa in great hands. We hope she can spend some time with her again!”
About: During my high school years, I attended a BOCES program specifically for small animal care. There, I learned how to handle and restrain many animals such as cats, dogs, and other small friends! I Have also groomed and bathed multiple of family & friends dogs. In my spare time I enjoy taking photos of my own animals! I have three rabbits, two dogs, and my kitty. I have loved animals my entire life, and working with them has always been my dream! I work at a Dog Daycare, so I am able to handle around up to 30 dogs by myself! With this job, I am able to determine the body language of dogs, and understand what it means. Loud barking, rough playing, and big messes do not bother me whatsoever. I work as a doggy daycare attendant at East Aurora Pet boutique Monday, Wednesday,Friday, ten to six. I am constantly around animals and I love every second of it! I will fulfill anything needed to ensure your pet is happy and healthy while in my hands! Your pet is my number one priority when I am with them.
About: I've had pets my whole life but since I moved out on my own I've had dogs, cats, a rabbit and a tarantula. I love them all and know they all have their own personalities and needs. I tailor my approach to care according to their unique personality ❤️ I work during the week, but remotely so I can be flexible outside of my meetings. I am usually available after 5 p.m. during the week and most weekends. I will play with/run around in the yard (if you have one) and walk dogs. With cats, I take their lead but understand they need stimulation and exercise for their overall health, so I will play with and pet them as they like.
About: My whole life I was never able to have pets up until two years ago which is when I got my first girl, Jojo. She changed my life completely and so I had to get her a sister. My love for them is unmatched and even though I don’t have training what I do have is unconditional love and plenty of free time. I recently resigned from my job so I do not have a work schedule to work around so I am able to give my pets as well as yours all the attention and care that they need. I do have a fenced yard so if they need to go outside for potty or play there is no risk of them running off. I also two dogs at home as previously mentioned but I do have a dog gate inside if your pet needs some alone time. I separate my dogs during meal times and sometimes just to give individual attention. Both my dogs are girls and they are sweet and very playful.
