“Robin was amazing. She was booked with less than 24 hours notice and came over to meet the dogs the same day. I felt very comfortable with her! Every day, she sent photos and updates. She stayed in constant communication, and I will definitely be using her again.”


“Jessica has been an excellent dog walker, sitter, and over all pet person. She is very reliable and loving to my golden retriever Canela. Appreciate her taking care of my baby.”


“Samara has been an awesome dog walker! I have nothing but great things to say about her. She walked my dog 2x a day, early mornings and evenings. She took great care of my dog. She knew his limitations and accommodated him. Cody doesn’t do well in heat and she delayed his evening walks until it cooled down. We will miss her! Thank you Samara!”


About: Dog dad and Pet lover for life! Pet care has been ingrained into my lifestyle since I was a child. Need a vacation or a helping hand? No matter the size or species, I can handle your pet's needs. Most of my weekends are free and I have time in the evenings during the week and I would love nothing more than to fill that time caring for your pet! Let's schedule a meeting! Growing up with numerous animals and as a first-time dog owner, I know sticking to a schedule is imperative for our furry friends. Exercise via walks around the neighborhood and/or playtime, scheduled nourishment, and all the love I can give. Your pet's schedule is my priority!

“Haley was wonderful. Major enjoyed his time with her.”


“Christina was great with my dog Dexter. She came on time and she updated me throughout the walk and she also sent me pictures which was really nice. I highly recommend her!!”


“This was my first time trying to find a dog walker for my dog Mila and I’m so very pleased! I was nervous because Mila is usually a bit of an anxious girl when meeting new people but Sarah was so sweet and patient with her. Mila seemed to connect with her instantly and even let Sarah give her some belly rubs towards the end of their first visit! She had fun performing all her favourite tricks in exchange for lots of yummy teats! After Sarah left today Mila continued looking out the window for her so I think she really must have enjoyed her walk! Definitely going to book with Sarah again! :-)”


About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a child, so understanding their needs and personalities comes naturally to me. What sets me apart is my genuine love and patience — I take the time to connect with each pet and make them feel safe and loved. I’m very attentive, gentle, and great at reading their behavior, which helps me respond calmly and kindly to different situations. I’m also experienced with both playful puppies and senior pets who need a little extra care. Whether it’s sticking to a routine, giving medication, or simply providing cuddles and companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel at home even when you’re away 🐾💛 I’m currently studying for my Master’s degree, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. I love including time with animals in my daily routine — whether it’s feeding, playing, or just keeping them company. Taking care of pets is something I truly enjoy, and I’m always happy to adjust my schedule to meet their needs 🐾💛 I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in their own familiar space — whichever makes them feel most comfortable. At my place, they’ll have a calm, clean, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel safe. If I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow their routine closely and make sure they feel secure and well-loved while you're away. No matter the location, I treat every pet like family 🐾💖

“Jackie was great. I have an 18 year old dog who requires a little extra care and Jackie was the perfect person for the job. I highly recommend her.”

I’m currently working part-time so will have plenty of time to your furry family. I’m available most weekends, evening, and open to discussing a schedule that will fit your needs I offer drop-in checks, walks, or over night stays. I am respectful of you and your pets space and any rules you have set in place.

About: I am a reiki master. I love providing healing to animals. Hugs, belly rubs ,you name it!! I dont mind providing medicine also. I also prefer over communication. I can swing by on my lunch break for potty breaks. I also can coordinate walks. Weekend time frame I also dont mind dogs of smaller size over to stay at my house. I have a fenced in yard for my 2 dogs. Very clean environment. I have a 11 yr old Australian shepherd and a 6 yr oldhound that are friendly.

“Shannon is excellent! She stopped by for a Meet & Greet the day before and did a wonderful job with introducing herself to our two pups, one of which is very timid around people. Shannon's gentle manner won her over quickly. She also communicated with me the day of the walk and took them out for over 30 minutes and almost a mile. It made me so happy to see my beloved pups taken care of so well. If I lived in Buffalo, you can rest assured she'd be my pet sitter of choice! We are here for a few days on an RV tour, and I really appreciated how well Shannon took care of our pups.”

About: I have taken care of different types of dogs since I was little, I have always surrounded myself with that environment and I really enjoy their company. And I was always known for doing my job very well. I currently work partially, but in my free time, I engage in productive activities.

I think a way to start taking care of the owner's house is with treats for the pets, ensuring all the dog's needs, and making sure he feels comfortable.

About: Hello! I’m Lexi and I am a licensed veterinary technician and a Medaille College graduate with my bachelors degree. I have three dogs of my own, who were both rescued. They are such good dogs! I used to volunteer at the local SPCA, until they had to relocate. Also, I had an internship at the vet hospital, where all of my dogs go. It was such an amazing experience and I learned a lot of things. I have experience with dog sitting because I used to dogsit for my neighbor. Currently, I like to walk dogs in my free time through Wag. Not to mention, I have two rats who are also good boys. As you can tell, I am an animal lover and so I can’t wait to meet yours!

“Helped make our trip to Niagara Falls a breeze! My husband and I wanted to do some of the non friendly dog activities, and Kaitlyn was more than flexible and willing to work with us. Not to mention, our pup adored her ! Would highly recommend/use her again!”

Tania S.
“My Pets Love Tania – And So Do I! I was so nervous leaving my dog (and my very particular cat!) for the first time with a new sitter, but Tania immediately put all my worries to rest. From our very first meeting, it was clear she genuinely loves animals . She asked all the right questions about my pets' routines, quirks, and needs, and I felt completely confident leaving them in her care. During my trip, Tania sent me regular updates, including adorable photos and videos, which really brightened my day and let me know my fur babies were happy and safe. My dog came back exhausted from all the fun walks and playtime, and even my cat, who usually hides from strangers, was relaxed and affectionate. It's obvious Tania goes above and beyond – she doesn't just watch your pets; she truly cares for them.”

Lynnda W.
“Passionate, Loving, Driven, and Motherly. Honestly, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lynnda and the care she has for pets. Lynnda has a deep love and respect for animals, even going as far as to pay closer attention when backing out of the driveway or waiting a couple minutes in her car so as not to hit or disturb the local bunnies. Lynnda is always warm, attentive, especially when it comes to her dogs and takes care making sure they have a well-balanced and nutritional diet, that they are regularly cleaned, and have comfortable places to play and rest (even if that means she has to share her bed for the night). What truly sets Lynnda apart is the genuine bond she has formed with her dogs. She pays close attention to each dog's needs and emotional state, whether it's cuddles or even just some alone time because she recognizes when one the dogs are stressed or upset. I wholeheartedly recommend Lynnda to anyone who is looking for a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy individual.”
