“Nafisa was wonderful all week long! She showed up on time or early every day. She was kind enough to give me a heads up before she arrived everyday to give me time to make it to the door and have my dog ready. They bonded immediately and my neighbors noticed how well she manages his large size and energy.”
About: I've always loved animals and adopted my 2-year-old dog Winnie when she was a puppy from Awesome Paws Rescue. I'm my friends and families go to pet sitter for all animals, from dogs, cats, to even axolotls! I work 100% remote with flexible breaks to drop in or take a nice leisurely walk! If your dog needs some socializing my dog is unemployed and ready to play! Animals are family and are loved (and spoiled) as such! Any dog will be adored and taken care of like I would my own fur baby.
“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!”
“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!”
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 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.
“Darrean was professional and prompt! Also I asked her last second for an hour walk and she was available so if you’re in a pinch then she is your go to. I needed someone to tire my dog out while I worked a 12 hour shift. Thanks!!!”

About: Lifelong experience and dedication to animal care. I've owned and cared for various pets throughout my life, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing special attention. I've taken care of many different pets, including dogs, cats, and caged pets. I often serve as the primary caregiver while my parents worked or traveled. This has taught me the importance of routine, patience, and personalized care. My skills include training puppies with positive reinforcement and providing gentle, attentive care for senior pets. I am committed to ensuring every pet feels loved and well-cared for, just like my own. I work a nine to five Monday through Friday so weekends and afternoons will give me plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I have a fenced in dog park in my apartment building and I live right next to a spacious field where doggies love to play. They are welcome to be in my apartment and have cuddles, alone time, and receive precious care.
“We couldn't say enough good things about Jaidyn! She was incredibly kind and patient with our nervous dog. This was our first time successfully having someone who isn't family come watch our dog (who definitely has stranger danger to say the least). Jaidyn worked with her each day to create a bond and made such good progress with her throughout the week! She was so communicative and shared helpful feedback/asked good questions to make sure she could take the best care of Rory possible! We will definitely be asking her to watch Rory again in the future!”
About: There hasn't been a time in my life when I haven't cared for dogs. They are the purest form of unconditional love and I strive to offer them the fun, joy and love they are so deserving of. I currently enjoy a flexible schedule, so most times am able to work around your schedule easily for in-home visits for puppy play time or walks. I am able to care for your dogs in the comfort of their home, either for snuggle and play visits, overnight care, or adventure walks!
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: Patient, empathetic and reliable sitter & dog walker that loves ALL animals! My 2 year old Cavapoo (15 pounds) loves to play with other dogs. He has been around all size dogs and gets along great. I volunteer for multiple rescues including flight angels that transports dogs from Puerto Rico to the States to get adopted. I have transported over 10+ cats and dogs. I have fostered a puppy that I found abandoned, Nursed him back to health and then found his forever family. I have many years of experience with taking care of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. I am currently working remotely so I am home all day to take care and play with my own pet. When I take breaks, I always go for a walk with my dog and then when I am back at my computer, I make sure he has an enrichment activity to do (example: treat licking pad). I make sure pets are well taken care of, whether they’re at my place or in their own home. I provide lots of attention and playtime, and when I’m at the client’s house, I follow their routine to keep things as normal and comfortable as possible for the pet. I look forward to meeting with you and your pet! Taylor
About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life. I have had dogs, cats, hedgehogs, birds, guinea pigs, and have also worked on a horse farm. I think animals are very wise and they brighten my days. I have an Aussie named Belly who is my family dog and lives with my mom and a cat named Ula who lives with me in my apartment. I also love each and every one of my pet sitting clients! I strive to help individuals and families feel at ease with leaving their pet at home. Beyond basic care like you’d get in a kennel, I am devoted to giving your pet lots of attention, I am happy to provide mental stimulation, and I am active and love getting out for a nice walk or practicing a new trick in your yard. In short, I treat pets like I’d treat a human child! Fur babies are real babies in my opinion. In the past I have watched up to 3 dogs at a time, a kitten, cats, a little puppy, a whole litter of puppies, etc. I also have volunteered with Be Their Voice (a rescue for bully breeds) and Hamburg Mutts for Freedom! Now, I also volunteer with West Side Cat Rescue. My experience is vast. I will provide you with photos of your dog, and make myself reachable for any questions you may have. I want pet owners and pets to feel as comfortable as possible! New clients can use this code for $20 off! SARAC15269, https://www.rover.com/sit/sarac15269 Right now I work remotely aside from some dog walking. This leaves me a good amount of time to service your pets needs! I do have my own furry feline, so I do prefer to only stay for a max of 3-4 days at a time to limit running back and forth. I can care for your dogs in your home since currently I have a tiny apartment. I have experience giving insulin, breathing treatments, other medication, and caring for high needs pets. I love when dogs and or cats cuddle with me in bed and I respect them like royalty. It’s their house, not mine!
About: I always grew up with dogs. My father and his first wife were dog groomers. Which taught me quite a lot about the patience in raising pups. And caring for them. I love all dogs. I never discriminate against breeds. My goal is to have a large amount of land to rescue/foster pups one day. This is where I'm starting! My compassion and understanding for canines gives me an unending amount of respect and stamina in caring for them. I love walking and hiking! I work from home these days and I’m always looking for a walking partner! My schedule is very flexible during the week. I care for all pets as if they were my own. With patience, kindness and compassion. I tend with special care and time. Following all rules set by the household!
“I hired Marijo for a dog walking and she was extremely responsive and flexible when it came to my pup. She provided updates and pictures to let me know he was enjoying his outside time. I highly recommend her with your pet!”

Callie S.Star Sitter
“As her parent, I’ve had the unique privilege of watching my daughter grow into the compassionate, responsible, and driven young woman she is today—especially when it comes to animals. From a very young age, she showed a natural connection with pets. Whether it was calming a nervous rescue dog, bottle-feeding kittens, or learning everything she could about animal behavior, her passion has always been crystal clear. Now, as a college freshman majoring in Canine Training and Management, she’s taken that love and turned it into something truly professional. What sets her apart is not just her knowledge, but her heart. She approaches every animal with a deep sense of empathy, patience, and respect for their unique personalities and needs. I’ve seen her spend hours working with dogs who were anxious or reactive, earning their trust with quiet persistence and care. At home, she’s always been the go-to caregiver for our own pets—a high-energy German Shepherd–Chihuahua mix, two senior cats, and even the occasional foster animal. She’s organized, attentive, and never cuts corners. She takes the time to understand routines, asks the right questions, and ensures every pet feels safe and loved. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family—someone who’s not only educated but genuinely devoted—you won’t find a better fit. I trust her fully with any animal, and I know she’ll bring that same level of dedication to your furry family member.”

Colette H.
“Colette is hands down one of the most caring, responsible, and thoughtful girl when it comes to people and also pets. Growing up with Colette, I’ve been around her many pets through the years and have always been so impressed with the care and love she’s shown them making them the happiest and healthiest animals. Spending time outdoors, going on walks and hikes, playing at the dog park, and lots of cuddles are just a few of the ways I’ve seen Colette care for animals personally. I personally have a 15 year old dog who is deaf and visually impaired that my family has trusted Colette to watch for us many times.”

Taylor has watched my 2 dogs for over a year when I am traveling for work and it is so reassuring knowing I have such a reliable, trustworthy person taking care of my dogs.”
Sara C.
“Sarah watched our dog while we were in Florida and she was fantastic with him. Our pup is a real people person and she completely catered to him and made him feel at home, I think he was actually a little sad to leave her. She was great at keeping us updated so we had piece of mind while on vacation. Not to mention that after some flight delays she was unbelievably flexible and kept him for one extra night on very short notice. We couldn’t have been happier with the way our dogs stay went and would gladly leave our dog with her again!”
Samantha W.
“Sam took such great care of my fur babies and my home while I was out of the country and to Disney World for long stretches of time. The animals were very well cared for and loved and she gave me constant updates on them to let me know how their day was going. We have two dogs, one elderly mix breed and one more active Husky as well as a Maine Coon Cat. She was able to handle them with ease while still keeping the house tidy. We appreciate her so much for all her hard work and care for our beloved pets. Highly recommend her!”
Marijo M.
“I hired Marijo for a dog walking and she was extremely responsive and flexible when it came to my pup. She provided updates and pictures to let me know he was enjoying his outside time. I highly recommend her with your pet!”
