“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.”

“My dog is a nervous rescue. Caitlin handled her very well. Was very attentive to my dogs needs and extremely easy to work with. I've already asked to have her again. Thank you Caitlin!”


“Rebooked Callie for a midday break. Excellent with our 14 week old puppy! Patient. Callie also has an eye for good photo angles and has sent some of our cutest pictures we have of Benson, which is especially nice because these puppy years go by so quickly and before you know it, you’ve forgotten to document it. Highly recommend Callie for your pet.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl, including my special needs diabetic schnauzer, helping with insulin injections and pills. Now I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. We love to walk by the outer harbor and play outside when the weather is nice! I’m a 4th year medical student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I have daily availability and lots of energy for walks and playtime with your fur babies! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own. I live in an apartment near the outer harbor. I prefer staying at a client’s house where your pets will be most comfortable! We love to go for walks and I have experience walking up to 3 dogs at once on my waist leash.
About: Dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family, and I treat them that way! Whether it’s backyard zoomies, long sniff-filled walks, or lazy cuddle sessions, I love making every pup feel happy and at home. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who appreciate a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m comfortable with medication routines, reinforcing basic training, and adapting to each dog’s unique personality. Most importantly, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away, because they deserve nothing less. My goal is simple: to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free! I currently work a hybrid schedule (9–5) with three days in the office (Monday–Wednesday) and two days at home (Thursday–Friday), but my in-office days are flexible! On office days, I’m available for walks before and after work, as well as overnight boarding from 5:30 PM to 8 AM the next morning. When I’m working from home, I can offer walks throughout the day or full-day boarding. Weekends are completely open — I’m available Saturdays and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, or dog sitting at either my home or yours. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they have a calm, secure, and loving environment. I take the time to learn their routines, favorite spots, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. Walks are always done on leash, with plenty of water and breaks, and I never leave pets unattended outdoors. I also keep things tidy and make sure your home looks just as you left it. You can count on regular updates, photos, and lots of happy tails while you’re away!
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I just love their unique personalities and I am passionate about their behavior and why they do the things they do. I am skilled in giving oral medication and trimming nails. I am currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and kitties! I am available after 2 PM on Monday, Tuesday and Sunday. I have more flexibility on Wednesday through Saturday. I have a fenced yard and room for your pet to run off their energy. I live in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with great neighbors.
About: Let me be your new animal caretaker! I love animals so much and I will look after yours like I would my own. I have lived with and had pets since I was a child (I even started a dog walking club so that I could befriend all the dogs in the neighborhood 🐕🐩🐕🦺🦮😄) I have cared for pets of all ages, with special needs, and of all ranges of training. I am familiar with administering medications orally and am a quick learner who can meet whatever your pet’s needs are with instruction. I am currently available any day and time, including weekends, except for a brief period of time in the evening on Mondays. I can be flexible if needed, however. I understand the importance of knowing your baby is safe and happy when you’re away. I will follow all instructions carefully to ensure your pet’s routine is followed, that they feel comfortable and cared for in their home when you’re away, and that your home stays clean and safe while you are away :)
About: I've had dogs and cats almost my entire life. My family and I are huge animal lovers and supporters. I always care for animals as if they are my own because pets are a member of your family and deserve the best. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to accommodate requests. Please contact me and I'm sure we can arrange days and times that work for both of us! We can discuss what you need for your pet while I care for them in your home. I can do check-ins, walk them, play with them, feed them, etc. Just let me know!
About: For overnight care I will shower your pet with as much love and care as I do for my own. Any time away for you should not be spent worrying about your furry family member at home. I'm a college athlete so being active is my specialty but I do also love some down time. I love all breeds and have been apart of different rescue groups for about a year. I've cared for pregnant dogs, puppies, special needs dogs, big, and small and love each one like my own. My personal commitment to your family and pets is unmatched. I can cater my care for whatever your family needs and look to make lasting connections so the search for a good dog sitter or walker will be over. I currently am a student with two classes a day so most of my time is spent at home! No major commitments throughout the week so my availability it wide open. My dog is my family member. I recognize the love for pets and want to make sure he lives the happiest life he can. I would express this same care for your fur babies.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for all kinds of pets. I currently have two big, lovable dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—as well as two cats, so I know how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll get personalized attention and care like one of my own. Hi there! My name is Isabella , and I’m a professional hairstylist working Wednesday through Saturday. On my days off, I’m looking to spend more time doing something else I love—caring for animals. As someone who has had pets my entire life and currently owns two dogs (a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso) and two cats, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and compassionate looking after your furry family members. I’d love the opportunity to help out with dog walking or pet care when you need an extra hand. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. At home, I provide a structured, loving, and safe environment for my pets, which includes two large-breed dogs—a German Shepherd and a Cane Corso—and two cats. I focus on consistent routines, daily exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. My pets are well-socialized, receive proper nutrition, and are always kept clean, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s going on long walks, engaging in playtime, or simply giving them the attention they need, I treat each animal with the respect and care they deserve. My experience with a variety of temperaments and needs allows me to confidently and responsibly care for others’ pets with the same level of dedication.

Aside from my home, I grew up around my aunt’s farm where we have anything from donkeys to chickens. It’s safe to say I’ve always been an animal lover! I’ve experienced anything from typical pet routines to those with special needs that require extra care and attention. I have experience with both puppies/kittens as well as senior pets and I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I’ve been pet sitting for others through friends and family for about 3 years since I started college and thought I’d give Rover a try! I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of extra time to care for your pet! I am available mornings, nights, and weekends. Overnight care would need an advanced notice. My goal is to customize my care to fit your needs, wants, and requests. I know leaving your furry friends at home is never easy so I try my best to make that process as comfortable as possible for both pet and owner. Following your pets normal routine is my priority so they can enjoy their stay and you can enjoy your time away!

I’m so happy Melina was available for my last minute weekend request to walk and feed my Ayla. Melina is very reliable, communicative and even offered advice from her own experience. My anxious baby warmed right up to her (and animals know best 😸). I will definitely be reaching out to Melina for my future pet needs.

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
