“Jessica is wonderful, she is very responsive to messages and gives detailed updates and photos. She takes great care of my pets and it helps put my mind at ease when I’m on vacation. I already have her booked for my next trip.”


“Sherly was absolutely amazing. My dogs loved her and she took great care of them while we were away. She made my trip so much less stressful. She kept me update on her visits and I really appreciated everything she did for us! Thank you soo soo much! ? I will definitely be using her again!”


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.

“This was our first time using Rover, previously we have only left our animals in the care of immediate family. Ray was outstanding! The pictures that were sent each visit, documented the time we missed with Sofie. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Sofie received from Ray.”


About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!

About: I am a dedicated pet owner myself, with animals ranging from indoor cats and dogs to farm friends like LGDs, goats, chickens and even honeybees. The same care, attention and love that I give to my own animals will be extended to yours too! I am currently off for the summer as I teach high school during the fall and spring. This offers me a great opportunity to help and take care of your loved pets for any quick trips, long work days or family vacations. I would follow the instructions provided by the pet parents. This would ensure the safety and comfort for everyone, especially the pets being cared for.

About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a kid. Currently, I have a dog that I got from a rescue over 7 years ago and he is my baby. You can trust me to take care of your dog like they are my own. I am caring and trustworthy. I have watched friends and family members pets before and looking to help out others! I have mostly open availability over the summer until mid August! I have availability mornings, days, and nights. I'm also available on weekdays and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves to meet new friends! I have extra crates and toys if needed. I can follow your dog's schedule and spend time with them to make them feel comfortable.


About: Growing up, I absolutely loved animals—my family used to joke that I’d own a zoo one day! Whether it was caring for my own pets or helping animals in need, I’ve always felt a deep sense of responsibility and joy in making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve rescued a baby deer, birds, and multiple dogs, and each experience taught me how to stay calm, patient, and gentle in all kinds of situations. I bring that same energy to pet sitting—being someone an animal can rely on, and someone owners can trust. My natural love for animals, along with my experience as a nursing student, means I’m observant, nurturing, and not afraid of a little extra care—whether that’s for puppies, seniors, or pets with special needs. I currently work part-time on weekdays, so I’m available for pet care after 4:30 PM during the week. Evenings are a perfect time for walks, drop-ins, or spending quality time with pets who need company after their owners leave for work. On weekends, I’m fully available and happy to offer boarding services, since I’ll be home and can give pets my full attention. My schedule allows for a healthy balance, so I can make sure each animal I care for gets the time, consistency, and affection they deserve. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach and my experience as a nursing student—I’m naturally attentive, observant, and gentle, which carries over into how I care for animals. I’ve grown up with pets and currently care for two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of routines, patience, and respecting each animal’s unique personality. I’m also comfortable with both dogs and cats, including pets who may be shy, anxious, or in need of extra attention. I’m especially good with senior pets, and I’m comfortable helping with medication, special feeding routines, or mobility needs. I take pride in providing a calm, safe environment where pets can feel secure—and owners can feel confident.

“She responded to my inquiry really quickly and was accommodating to my cats special needs. He gets insulin shots and it’s hard to find someone with the availability for his times shots and knowledge to do them. She was great!”


“Darrean was the most amazing pet sitter! She watched my cat for over a week when I was out of town. I’m always so nervous leaving my sweet boy, but Darrean was so communicative, flexible, and attentive that I knew my pet was in the best possible hands! I had a few things that changed while I was out of town (my building turned off water for a few hours, flight was delayed, etc.) and Darrean was so easy to work with to change drop-in times and be flexible with things I couldn’t control! I would 100% recommend Darrean ; for any of your pet care needs!!”


“Marissa was great with Ozzy and was always on time or early to her visits. Ozzy is very shy and she got him out of his shell eventually! I came back to my house smelling super clean too so she also did a great job emptying thr litter box”


About: I walk daily! I’ve always been the dog sitter for my neighbors and friends and family! Just looking for a great opportunity to help myself and those of you who may not always have the time! Looking to build a few solid relationships with other pet owners so you have someone you trust with your animals. I do work a full time job. Night shift 1030pm-7am, rotating weekends. I think this is perfect for pet care because i work when all the dogs are asleep. I have time to walk the dogs give them some love and attention in the mornings. I then nap and usually up and active by 1pm and have plenty of time to help take care of your pets. I walk my own dogs so much i figure i can spread the love. I have a fully fenced yard. I have 3 friendly dogs who are eager to play. A Rottweiler, a cavalier King Charles spaniel mix, and a Yorkie/bichon mix as well as 2 cats, one shy female and a male orange cat who thinks he’s one of the dogs

About: I have had dogs all of my life, while taking care of friends and neighbors’ dogs as well. My parents helped me learn how to properly take care and love dogs, and that has carried over well. I am so passionate about furry friends, and I have never not had a dog in my life! I have helped friends and families with their doggos whenever they need me to. I am a theatre major who just moved to Buffalo for grad school! I’m on break from school when I regularly watch, so I have all my time to put toward it! I value pets more than humans, so you can always depend on me. I have a large area to walk them, and plenty of room in my living room to let them run around and play, and I love cuddling and spending quality time as well!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. My family dog was the most amazingly cute Olde English Bulldogge Rufus. I currently have my own rescue pup- a German Shepherd named Archie. Archie and I frequent nursing homes together with the group Paws to Share. We go and try to spread joy and everyone loves seeing him! I have experience in pet sitting as well as walking and providing care. I currently work part time from home so I have plenty of time to help care for your pups. I have lots of weekday availability. I always like to chat with you about your needs before meeting your dog. I like to bring treats and a toy- but I always double check to make sure they are ok with you! I also have certain parks and areas I like to walk in- and I will always share my location with you while your dog is out with me!

Brie O.Star Sitter
“Brie is the only person I would ever trust with our dog. She has watched our 3 year old rescue pittie numerous times and has loved her and cared for her as if she were her own. Our girl is a shy and timid rescue dog, and Brie handles her with the extra bit of reassurance that our dog needs with other people. Our dog absolutely adores her and I think sometimes loves her more than she loves us (haha). Earlier this year I gave birth to our daughter and Brie watched our dog the entire time I was in the hospital. It was one less thing I had to worry about, knowing my dog was well loved and taken care of. If you hire Brie to watch your dog, rest assured she will stop at nothing to make sure he/she has the absolute best care possible.”

But I messaged Paige and not only did she watch him for me, she cleared her schedule to come do a meet and greet with him beforehand to make sure he would be comfortable. She’s great dogs as she has some of her own. Now, she’s my regular dog walker! My dog loves Paige!”
