“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.”



“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.”


“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: 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.

“ElizaE was excellent! My dog has always tended to bark intensely at people she doesn’t know and then hide if the person doesn’t leave. ElizaE took the time to help our dog Jenna get to know her and trust her. She took her on familiar routes for her walks and let her spend some time in one of her favorite places- our back yard. It was very reassuring to get the messages and pictures and know that Jenna was having a good experience while we were gone. I highly recommend ElizaE.”


About: I have hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve also provided regular dog walking, in-home sitting, and medication support for friends and family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior dog with special needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! As a nursing student studying at D’Youville University in Buffalo on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and am available every day from Monday to Sunday. With plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re not. Whether it’s feeding, meds, walks, or just some good company, I’m there to give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you always know how they’re doing. My goal? Happy tails, comfy naps, and peace of mind for you.

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!”


About: Chilling with pets is my favorite self-care! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. My speciality is rescue animals and all of my cats over the years have been from shelters. I've taken care of all types of cats and dogs from pugs to German Shepards, from kittens to senior cats. I am very gentle, compassionate, and give great pet back scratches! I currently work as a social worker and my schedule is very flexible. This means I am available outside a traditional Monday - Friday 9am-5pm schedule. I follow your instructions like a recipe and am proactive about asking questions related to the care of your pet. In addition, my former roommate is a practicing veterinarian and is on-call for me 24/7. :)

About: Pet and housesitting have been a part of my life for 10+ years now, including all different types of animals, all different breeds and personalities!

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!

“Lana was amazing with my dog Nala! Nala took to her right away. Lana is prompt when answering texts and great at communicating. She always takes lots of pictures and leaves a report card. Thank you for taking great care of Nala!”


About: I’m a huge dog lover ever since I was little! Growing up I have had multiple dogs! I’ve had a beagle, boxer, and a dachshund! I’m experienced with all sorts of size dogs. My current pet is a boxer who is very high energy which requires me to give him special attention 24/7. We are either playing ball outside, walking, or playing with toys inside. I’m currently working a part time job so I have a lot of free time on my hand. I would love to be able to spend my free time with dogs. I have a fenced in yard that we always play ball and run around in. My dog also has a crate that is trained for.
