“Mariah is attentive , punctual and trustworthy. Best of all, she really took an interest in our dog / family member and was eager to get to know her. We will ask Mariah to care for our sweet girl again in the near future!”

“Mary is the best! She is super kind, patient, and reliable. I appreciate all the photos and feedback she gives when watching our dog! She truly seems to love spending time with our dog. We are very appreciative to have her help us regularly with our current dog and past dog.”

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.

About: As a college student home for the summer, I have an extremely open and flexible schedule to give your pet my full attention. I have a deep appreciation for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether that means going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I’m reliable, caring, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a very open and flexible schedule this summer. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of each pet, whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so caring for pets adds purpose and joy to my day. I’m also available for pet sitting and overnights if needed—whatever works best for you and your pet! I care for pets exclusively in their own homes, where they’re most comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions closely to maintain their usual routine and environment. I prioritize safety, respect your space, and make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

“We love Sara! Most importantly, so does our dog Flynn! Sara has been so easy to work with, so flexible with our ever-changing schedule, and always quick to respond. She leaves us the cutest pictures and keeps us updated on how he does on his walks. We are thrilled to have found someone consistent that we can trust who loves our pup!”

About: Over the years, I have owned 11 cats and 4 dogs, not to mention hamsters, guinea pigs and birds. I have always loved animals, and have a gentle approach to care as I think often our pets are scared enough when their owners need to be away. I enjoy trying to ease their fears or stressors, and getting their licks and purrs in return. I am recently retired and generally have a flexible schedule, depending on whether I'm traveling or not. Usually I'm able to work with your schedule. I believe in play and exercise as a way to ease the stress of owners being gone. But of course I listen to my clients and maintain whatever routine they think works for their pet. They know best. With my own dog, we walk twice a day and play occasional games in between (but she is an older chihuahua mix and mostly wants to sit by my side and take naps!). I lost my latest cat last year, but my daughter has a two year old kitty who LOVES to jump, run and play and it's so fun to see what he can get into!

“Kimberly really helped out in a pinch with a meet and greet and taking my baby out for a walk. We are looking forward to more positive experiences with her.”

About: I have been working with dogs since I was in 6th grade. I trained my childhood dog through a 4H program and we completed at the county fair each year in Obedience and Rally. Now I have a rescue who over the past 4 years we've helped work through a lot of reactivity and she now is an active participant in Rally competitions and other classes. As a teacher my summer is wide open for walks and drop in visits. Once the school year starts after school and weekends are open. I'm very comfortable with dogs of various sizes and needs. I can crate your furry family members, get them fed, out for walks etc. I'm comfortable with various walking equipment from harnesses to gentle leaders and collars.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so taking care of them just comes naturally to me. I also volunteer at local shelters, which has helped me learn how to handle all kinds of dogs with different personalities. I’m really patient and pay attention to what each dog needs, so they feel comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits really easily into my week since I’m currently out of school, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available most days and can adjust to what your dog needs, whether that’s regular walks or last-minute help I basically treat your home and pet like my own. I follow your routine, make sure your pet gets everything they need, and spend time with them so they’re not stressed or lonely. I also keep you updated so you know how everything’s going.

About: I’ve lived with cats and dogs ever since I could remember! I’ve been pet sitting for my family and friends since I was around 14-15 years old. Some of the pets I’ve previously pet sit include senior dogs, cats of all ages, rodents, fish, and even reptiles. I am comfortable with all sorts of animals, mammals or not. I always aim to treat every single animal with the upmost respect, and as much love and care as I can possibly give them! Some of my special skill include: - giving oral medication - mixing special meals - basic/light dog training - clipping medium-tempered cats nails - caring for aquariums if necessary - basic care for reptiles and rodents - basic cat and dog grooming (brushing, spot cleaning, etc) . I’m currently working part time, so I have a good amount of time for your animals. I’m available for late night drop ins (9:30pm-11:00pm) if needed/preferred, and depending on my shift schedule I can pop in during the morning or afternoon. My goal is to cause as little stress as possible for your animals while they are in my care. I like to introduce myself and give your pets time to warm up to me and get comfortable during the service. I try to follow their usual routine during feeding, walks, etc.

About: I have no documented experience in sitting other peoples pets, but I have taken care of a cat of my own for 7 years and counting, while also help out with my aunts dog! Im always learning new skills everyday, and would love to start helping others more! I am currently volunteering on tuesdays, wednesdays and thursdays, from about 9-11am. Im also in the process of getting a job , but for the time being, and no matter what on those days I mentioned, I will have time to help out ! I care for my cat in many ways, such as feeding, changing litter box, playing, and giving affection!! I think its very important to give your cat stimulation through out the day!

About: I have been pet sitting for about 15 years, everything from quick play dates to extended stays lasting over a month. I've worked with a variety of dogs including a 13-year old 4 pound chihuahua, a vizla that required 5 or more hours of solid exercise a day, a 160 pound mastiff that thought he was a lap dog, and a very scared dalmatian/husky/german shepherd mix that needed some serious work on social interations. I've dealt with skunk attacks, bee stings, an intestinal blockage and various types of aggression. I AM NOT CURRENTLY ABLE TO STAY OVERNIGHT DURING SITTINGS. I KEPT IT IN MY PROFILE BECAUSE IT IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN BOOKING MULTIPLE DROP-INS At the end of last year I ended up taking in 3 Doberman puppies that I had dog sat for regularly. I was able to find a home of one of them but the other two are still with me. Because of this I am not able to do extended stays that require me to be gone overnight or dogs that cannot be left alone for a few hours due to separation anxiety or medical reasons. But if your dog is friendly please consider boarding! I currently work from home with flexible hours most of the time. My schedule is very accommodating and I love being able to take advantage of nice weather or last minute requests. The yard where I am is NOT fenced in, but it is very large with several acres of wooded area in the back. For dogs that need to stay on leash there is a long tie out and plenty of walks. I never let the dogs play outside without supervision. There are two other friendly dogs on the property (in addition to my own 2) and two dogs next-door that come over to play all the time. So we have our own mini, well-mannered, well-socialized dog park.

“Waverly is so, so wonderful I’m so happy to have found her! She’s very responsive, accommodating, and such a kind person. I have a sensitive, scared lil dog who can be challenging to work with, but she does so well with him! She’s has really taken a ton of stress off my shoulders because I know my guys in good, safe hands.”

About: I’m a construction business owner who likes to stay active during my slow winter months. This usually means traveling abroad but if I’m staying local I like to get out and play with dogs. I’ve always felt a connection with them, speaking their language and body language from a sassy female husky who has perfecting the side-eye and eye roll made me adept and more self conscious dog owner. I am a very responsible person, I don’t take my duties lightly as I know what a pet means to someone. That is your baby your family and I am mature enough to handle things well. I’ve had dogs/ owned/ fostered dogs my entire life. I find dogs much more enjoyable than most people. If I do rarely attend a party, I’m the one outside playing with the dog I’m new on here so my prices are low. This does not reflect the quality of service or care I provide. If reviews would be helpful from the business I run, you can find my company “Gaia Gutters” in buffalo and see what my gutter customer think of me. In my free time I like to do yoga, snowboard, read, cook, and overthink my life. I’m chasing equanimity in all aspects of life and closing to live a well intentioned life. I’m going to India next year for a celebration of dogs for a whole week. I can’t wait. If you want to reach out, feel free. Thanks for reading this far I’m free anytime. Things are slow at my other job so I can help around the clock. I think I covered this in my bio but I have to write something here I can walk them, take them to a park, let them out In your yard, however you want me to take care of them I’m pretty flexible

About: I grew up with large dogs. I raised and trained a golden retriever that was so well mannered that my neighbors would borrow her to play with her! I currently walk my mom’s very large (and spoiled) german shepherd 2-3 days per week. I love small dogs and am not afraid of larger dogs! I am retired and would love to care for your pets! I am retired and have time to care for other peoples’ animals! I am very flexible with the days and hours I am available to visit your pet. You can rely on me to show up as agreed and care for your pet as if it were my own pet! I am very careful to not let a pet escape. A dog in a fenced yard would still be watched by me during visits. I would gladly send pictures and updates of your pets.

“Thank you so much for taking expert care of Phoebe! Highly recommend!”

Joseph O.

“I was so happy with the care Tara gave to my 2 German shepherds. She walked them daily for me and played with them with the same amount of care I give them when i was on vacation. I highly recommend her and would hire her 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!

“Jason is phenomenal. This was the first time we have ever used a sitter in our home before. It was very nerve-wracking to have a stranger in our home taking care of Bella. Jason sent us pictures and told us exactly when he arrived and left which gave us peace of mind that Bella was well taken care of. I will definitely be using Jason again. I would recommend him especially if good communication and good pet care are things that you value. It is so comforting to know I have a vet tech in my home if ever something should go wrong.”
