About: I have lived with cats my entire life and have an abundance of experience caring for them, meeting their needs and wants. Growing up, I also lived with fostered pugs from a local pet rescue and have experience caring for them. While living in Colorado recently, I gained further experience cat sitting, while caring for dogs, geckos, pet birds, and chickens in a suburban setting. I have some experience walking dogs in urban settings. I am able to visit or stay with your dog to provide food, water medicine, play, and companionship. I also clean yards and immediately pickup pet waste when outside and clean in-house messes to prevent stains. I am communicative about pets and send daily updates and photos unless requested otherwise. I am currently a graduate student who only has class two days a week. I am able to stay overnight with pets in their homes everyday and my maximum time out of the home at this time is 7 hours once a week. I often stay with dogs and visit cats, but can stay overnight in order to maintain their feeding and exercise routines. I let dogs out into the yard and spend time playing with them outside or go on morning and evening walks. With current flexibility, I can go on lunchtime walks. I always update clients about their pets daily unless requested otherwise.

About: I’m newer to the Buffalo area but I’ve been dog sitting in my hometown, Auburn for a couple years now! I began helping out with the family who I babysit for’s dog and I have loved it since! Hi! I’m currently a student at Buffalo State but I have a flexible schedule and am more than willing to work with you! + have plenty of time to play with your furry friends! I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred routines. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.
“Marideth is wonderful! I get the best pics of my happy pets while we're away and it makes me feel secure, knowing they are being cared for and loved.”

About: Hi! My name is Celeste. I’ve been caring for animals for 20+ years and believe every animal is special, beautiful, and has a unique personality! I helped train dogs at Petco for three years which taught me how to anticipate and correct behaviors. I will make sure they are loved, entertained, learning, and safe. You don’t have to worry about your fur baby when they’re with me :) A little more about me: I’m currently a quality control lab technologist and decided to care for dogs in my spare time. It’s a great way to get out of the house, get exercise, and meet adorable animals!! Please feel free to ask me any questions. I look forward to caring for your pets! Thanks! — Celeste
“Ryan was absolutely AMAZING, and I am so happy we found him! He kept us updated the entire time we were away, and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our boy was in good hands. Every video he sent us was our dog crying because he was so happy to be around him. We will absolutely be using him for future get aways and cannot rave about him enough. I am so happy we found out go to person for get aways and I know our dog is obsessed with him and would love for him to stay again. I cannot thank you enough for taking great care of Denver while we were away! We will speak to you soon when we get another trip planned and I am sure Denver will be overjoyed to see you again! 🙂”

“Jackie stayed the night with both of our larger dogs on a holiday. Her communication was fantastic and she was also happy to meet the dogs before officially scheduling the stay. Would book again!”

“Rachael took great care of Murphy! She did a great job communicating with me and keeping me informed of what was going on with Murphy the whole time. She also sent lots of pictures. Murphy would be happy to see Rachael again!”

“Ciara was amazing as always! She stayed over with our GSD for the weekend and she gave us constant updates and pictures throughout the entire stay! I would trust her with my babies any day!”
“Cari was great with both of our dogs. She was patient with our larger dog who is very timid. We appreciated her kindness and patience with the dogs. Would recommend and will book again!”

“Forest was great with our pup Sherlock! He stayed with him in our house during the Christmas holidays for 8 days. We stayed in touch during the stay with texts and he sent some pictures. When we came back the dog was happy and our house clean, we couldn’t ask for more! Thank you, Forest!”

“Nafisa took amazing care of our dogs over the holidays and treated them like family. She sent regular photo and video updates, which we really appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

“I highly recommend Carolyn! She took great care of my two cats. Her updates gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even administered their medication.”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and many other small pets. I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. I’m calm, patient, reliable, and happy to follow your pets routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the day and week. I’m reliable with drop ins, walks, or longer stays and can stick with your pets routine. I make sure every pet stays safe, comfortable and happy while in their own home. I follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and supervise pets at all times. I treat your home with respect keeping it clean and organized, and create a calm environment for your pet.
“Katie was amazing! She watched my dog, Molly, for the day. Katie was very accommodating to my schedule, communicated effectively and most importantly kept Molly happy and safe! I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

Katy did an excellent job taking care of Comet. This was our first time using a dog sitter but she was a great communicator and made us feel very comfortable. We were happy to get frequent updates. She also took great care of our home and overall exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her and would confidently have her care for Comet again in the future.
Karen was so wonderful!!!!! Took excellent care of my three cats, dog, and axolotl for a whole week. She kept in touch with me about how they were doing, and even gave me some extra water/food containers for them! When my flight home got delayed, she was willing to stay and take care of the animals for me for an extra day, even though she didn't have to. 10/10 thank you so much, Karen <3

We had a truly excellent experience with Callie. She was professional, reliable, and exceptionally kind. Our dog adored her and received the best care and attention—he may even miss her already! Even our cat, who refused to make an appearance, was well looked after. Communication was excellent throughout, and the updates and photos she shared were not only thoughtful but truly magazine-worthy. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets and home were in such capable hands. We would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy sitter.
