“Sophie was amazing!! I have an 80lb lab that is pretty high energy with some medical needs. I booked Sophie for drop in visits for 4 days. Sophie was incredibly thorough in her preparation, attention to detail, and communication. She took my dog to the park everyday, sent multiple pictures, and was very intentional about making sure my dog did not get over-heated outside with the current heat wave. If you're looking for someone to treat your pup like they're a VIP at the Four Seasons, book Sophie!”
“I can always rely on Danielle to respond quickly. She’s reliable and is a HUGE stress reliever knowing that my pup is being well taken care of. I’ve rebooked her numerous times now, and she has never disappointed”
About: I have taken care of two smaller dogs the past 3 years and have learned the hard work that comes with them. I have also volunteered at BARCS for dog days out. I am comfortable with leash trained dogs and understand feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime. Hello! I am currently a college student working a part-time internship and taking a summer class! I am often available on weekends and monday, wednesday, and friday nights. I know how to crate dogs if needed and have reliable transportation to an emergency vet if needed. I have grown up around cats and dogs all my life so I understand the importance of keeping your pet safe.
About: I’ve been caring for my dogs for about 9 years now, and they truly are my babies!! I currently have a Siberian Husky and a German Shepherd, and we recently added a Golden Retriever puppy to the family!! So my puppy skills are definitely fresh right now 😊 I’m very used to high energy dogs, lots of playtime, long walks, mental enrichment, cuddle sessions, and making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog is super playful, shy, or just wants extra TLC, I’ll always treat them like one of my own. I recently graduated from UB with my bachelor's degree and am currently in the process of applying for jobs! That means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the week, so I’m typically available whenever you need care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make things as easy as possible for both you and your pup. Your pup's safety and comfort are always my number one priority. I make sure to follow your instructions exactly, whether that’s feeding routines, walks, meds, or small things that help your dog feel at ease. I’m very mindful during walks and outdoor time, always keeping dogs securely leashed and being 100% aware of our surroundings. When I’m in your home, I respect it like it’s my own space. I keep everything clean, double check doors and gates, and make sure your pup is safe and settled before I ever step out.
“Sitter was great. Used them for some time and you can really tell when you get home and your pet isn’t bouncing off the walls. She even came a day early when we had a friend that couldn’t stop by. Booked her on short notice and lots of photos which my kids loved. Thank you.”

“Shania did a really wonderful job for our cats and was really flexible and understanding of our complicated routine. She was super communicative during the visits and had to adjust on the fly for us, and she took it all completely in stride. Highly recommend her! Thank you so much again!!!”
About: I've taken care of a dog in various formats since I was 14 years old. Currently I have three dogs that I have rescued and raised from various experiences where without me, they would have ended up worse off. I have extensive knowledge in pet care, wellbeing and injuries to keep a dog safe, happy and in a loving home. I've made it a point to understand dog nonverbal communication so that I can identify issues as they arise and keep my and your pets safe. My wife and I work opposite schedules most of the week meaning someone is home most of the day. I am an early riser often starting my day at 5am where I handle pet care until I leave for work around 7:30am. My wife takes over care until I return from work at 5pm and this is how our schedule runs Tuesday through Thursday. Monday and Friday we work the same shift so our pups will be unsupervised from 10am-5pm but are left in safe environments with plenty of mental stimulation and given potty breaks at 10am and extended breaks at 5pm when I arrive home. I am home all day on the weekends to take care of pet needs. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs are free to play in all day with my other pups who are very friendly to other dogs. We have dog crates already set up in the home that are used on as needed basis and lots of mental stimulation toys like kongs, puzzles and treat dispensing toys. For my dogs they eat twice a day in the morning and night and are allowed unlimited (supervised through security cameras and frequent checks) backyard time, where there is water and a dog house to cool off. The dogs get walked on a rotating schedule throughout the week. In others homes I am sure to follow the schedule of the owner and ensure the wellbeing of your pet.
About: I provide reliable, compassionate pet care for busy pet owners who want peace of mind while they're at work, traveling, or away from home. My services include dog walking, cat visits, feeding, fresh water replenishment, litter box cleaning, and general pet care. I understand that pets are family, which is why I focus on giving each animal the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. During visits, I don't just stop by to feed your pet—I also spend quality time with them, providing playtime, affection, and companionship to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether you need regular dog walks, daily cat check-ins, or someone to keep your pets company during a trip, you can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. My goal is to ensure your pets stay happy, healthy, and stress-free until you're back home. I have owned cats for many years. Since I generally work from home, my cat receives all of the attention he needs! I love dogs as well, although I do not currently own one. I show immense care for your pet as I know that your pet is a part of your family. I will always treat your pet as part of my family too!
“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
About: I've had pets my whole life, so I understand what they need to feel safe and happy. I live with two dogs and have experience caring for a variety of animals from large dogs to guinea pigs. As a high school graduate, my schedule is fairly flexible. I have a part time job but I am available most of the day to care for your animals. I only care for pets in a clients home. I would respect all household rules and give your pet my full attention making sure to care for them with kindness.
“10/10 absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Came home to the happiest, calmest kitty that has ever been thanks to B. Normally when we come home Carson is very unhappy with us but this time he was calm and unbothered. Every day, twice a day, I received great, detailed updates with pictures of Carson playing and being the most enriched and spoiled baby there ever has been. Moving forward I won’t ask anyone else to care for my three animals besides Bito. I couldn’t have asked for a better, more caring person to care for my furry orange child. Even my plants got watered :’). Thank you SO much!”
About: I’m an experienced and reliable dog caregiver with a background caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and more challenging breeds. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight boarding, always focusing on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work full-time with a rotating schedule, but I’m available all day on my days off and in the mornings on workdays for visits, walks, and feedings. I live in a quiet condo with open space nearby. I have a friendly dog for companionship or can keep pets separated if needed, with extra rooms and a crate available for safety.
“Janine took good care of my kitties. She followed up each visit with good photos after, and she helped me figure out my automatic feeder. She was also very flexible when I asked if we could make a schedule change.”
“I am very pleased with the service received for Kash. He was well taken care of and notifications and pictures of him on a daily were appreciated. I will definitely be booking Shakiyla again for any pet services needed in the future. Thank you 😊”
About: I've taken care of all types of animals since I was 12. I've cared for lots of cats, my own dog, fish, guinea pigs, and snakes. I have the most experience with cats but I love all animals. I have the most experience dachshunds as I’ve learned how to personalize care for the breed of dog. I am working part time on Mondays mornings, Friday mornings, and Saturday nights. Otherwise I am open to fit your schedule! Things may shift around as my I just started my job and my schedule may change. Since I will not be caring for pets in my home, it will entirely rely on the rules of the client's household. Any rules that are there will be followed to make sure your fur baby is safe and happy. Along with your fur baby, I can water plants, take in mail, or accept packages.
“I feel like I left a review already but I don't see it so maybe I'm crazy. Anyway I have Samantha booked weekly to take my dog out. She is reliable and quick to respond, and very flexible, and great with my weird finicky dog.”

Sophie is amazing! We totally forgot to book someone for our sweet Asher, Sophie was super responsive, and was able to help in a pinch, because of our mix up. She’s always great with Asher, provides plenty of photos and he loves hanging out with her! 100% recommended!
Erika was wonderful with my two kitties! They were going through a finicky stage so I had to transition them to a raw diet which was a bit detailed. Erika followed everything to the letter! I love that she sent me daily photos. It was very much appreciated! Thank you Erika for giving the love and care ❤️
Anna is for real, the best! Every time we need to leave our boys at home we ask her to watch them because we love her so much! She’s always on time, sends lots of pictures, and takes care of our furry guys like they were her own. We would pick Anna over any other pet sitter or kennel every time.
Kristen A. is a lifesaver! I ended up having to go to the ER after thinking I can just get taken care of at the urgent Care. That led to almost a full week Hospital stay, my pup Oreo was home and because I didn't know how long I'd be there thinking maybe a day or so I decided maybe to try doing drop-in appointments and allowing him to stay home. She came faithfully twice a day giving my dog so much love and attention! She is very good with communication giving updates on how he was doing and sending copious pictures, and very sensitive to my situation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for drop in care!
Shakiyla was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She is so knowledgeable about how to care for a big, very loving but also high energy dog like my Alba, and I felt very comfortable knowing my baby was in her care while i was so far away. She is professional, kind, responsive, and an excellent trainer as well, and I will absolutely be requesting her services in the future. Highly recommend, especially if you have a bully breed dog!
