Dog Walking Parkside

“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!”

“Kate was great! Came the night before to meet our new puppy and worked with me to rebook as I realized I booked the wrong date. Kate took good care of our puppy, sharing pictures along the way. Will look to retire in the future. Thanks Kate!”

Dustin S.

“I’ve booked Rebecca twice - and each time Sully comes back from his walk ready for a long nap! She’s timely, communicative, and great with dogs! I will book again!”

“Claudia was wonderful! It was the first time I used the service and was nervous to depend on someone I didn’t know to take care of my spoiled and very naughty golden retriever puppy (10 months). Claudia put me at ease immediately as she took notes during our conversation and came every time she was scheduled, sending pictures and notes. She asked very good questions and it was clear she had a lot of experience with dogs. I would highly recommend Claudia and loved the way the Rover system is set up.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have 15 years of experience as a pet owner. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of dogs, including a Black Lab, two Chihuahua rescues, a German Shepherd, a Pit Bull, and a Corgi/Husky mix. I’ve also cared for the pets of family and friends for extended periods, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing indoors or outdoors, or simply keeping them company, I’ll do my best to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to dogs weighing around 100 lbs. I’m happy to walk your dog around your neighborhood, stick to their usual routine, and administer oral medications if needed. My goal is to give your pet the care and attention they deserve while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! I’m currently between jobs, so I have plenty of flexibility! I’m generally available on weekdays between 9 AM and 2 PM, with some weekend availability as well. With enough advance notice and good communication, I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works for both of us. With 15 years of experience as a pet owner, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from little pups to the big guys! I understand that every dog has their own personality and preferences. Some love to play and stay active, while others are happiest just having someone around to keep them company. My own dogs are more on the couch-potato side, so I know how important it is to respect a dog’s pace and give them plenty of downtime, too. I’ll always do my best to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: As a lifetime pet owner, until recently, I have owned dogs for all of my life, and I’ve gone above and beyond in the care of my pets and their needs. I had my last dog from when I was in 6th grade all the way until I was a Junior in college. Through this time, I watched him develop from a puppy to a senior dog with senior needs, including strenuous lifting and even diaper changes. I am willing to go to the same lengths when caring for your beloved pets! Throughout my life, I’ve also helped my friends care for their dogs and pets. I understand the bond between an owner and their pets, and the sacred nature of letting someone else take care of them, even for a short period of time. I am currently pursuing an online Master's Degree through SUNY Oswego, and I am relatively free for the time being. I could fit your care needs into any of my days. With experience in caring for pups and cats, I can pretty much do anything you would need me to do in your home, from feeding, to walking, to crating, to keeping them excited and entertained.

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need plenty of play and structure to senior pets who require extra patience and gentle care, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves individualized attention. I've cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, and I'm comfortable following specific routines, administering detailed care instructions, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their families are away. I also have experience caring for pets with disabilities and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting to each pet's individual needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a calm, reassuring presence, I'll provide dependable, compassionate care and treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I'm currently seeking a full-time position, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I can provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day. I'm committed to accommodating your pet's routine and will communicate with you regularly to ensure you have peace of mind while you're away. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Before each visit, I take the time to understand your pet's schedule, personality, and any special care instructions so I can provide the best possible care. During visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I'm happy to accommodate each pet's individual needs, whether that means a long walk, extra cuddle time, or a slower pace for senior or special-needs pets. I also keep litter boxes clean, clean up after pets, and make sure your home is left just as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

“I am very appreciative of Emma. She is handling Bella superbly and giving her the right amount of exercise that she needs during the day. We look forward to more walks with Emma!”

About: I grew up around and with dogs and absolutely adore them. From chihuahua’s to rottweilers I love them all! I was bit as a child so do have some fear when it comes to reactive dogs and would rather not sit for them. While my expertise is cats the more dogs I’ve sat the more comfortable I am. So not only am I helping you but you’re helping me :) My boyfriend and I both work 9-5 most days but can always stop by for checkins on our breaks. We sit together and work around our schedules to make time for the pets we care for. We have multiple cats as well as fish, frogs, and a lizard. We know how important routines are and do our best to keep your pet in their routine. We ask that your Rover profile is updated with all the information needed to care for your pet up to your standard. Some examples would be feeding and bathroom routines.

About: I grew up with dogs and have taken care of multiple pups and cats over the years.

I am currently working full time but am available to walk dogs after 5pm during the week and anytime on the weekends. If I am dog sitting I am able to let your puppy out out during lunch u less I am working from Home! I am available for your pup throughout the weekends. Whether it’s just for a walk or company. Unfortunately, due to my own dogs reactivity I am not able to care for other dogs in my Home. N/a n/a n/a n/a n/a n

About: I love dogs! I grew up taking care of dogs and have watched pets of friends and family over the years. I just moved to Buffalo for grad school and am not in the place to take care of my own dog, but really want to provide attentive and heartfelt care/walks I work a solid 9-5 schedule with classes and am generally free on weekends. Looking for one time or recurring gigs, and am happy to be flexible in early mornings/late nights I can crate the dog, walk, play fetch and provide a lot of attention in the form of pets or playing! Any mess I/the pup makes will be cleaned by me, although I am not able to always provide cleaning supplies.

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.

“Communicative and super helpful!”

About: ** PLEASE READ FULL BIO BEFORE BOOKING*** I’ve worked at a cat shelter on and off for numerous years as a teen. Currently, I dog walk for the shelter as often as I can as part of their program. Ive also bottle fed rescue kittens and have much experience with baby animals, including wildlife! I am familiar with many species of animals and very passionate about their care. I’ve had rats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, cats, dogs and fish … just to name a few! **PLEASE READ** I do have 3 pet rabbits that a partially free roam. They are all in safe spaces & can be enclosured. They DO get along with other animals. I am available weekends, Saturday and Sunday, all day and weekdays Monday - Friday after 5pm! I do have a full time job but plenty of spare time for your pets care! I do have a fenced in yard but would love to actually walk your fur baby instead! I have beautiful parks near by with plenty of room to play!

About: I have owned two dogs and a cat in my 25 years of life and currently have two dog nephews. I have also owned two ferrets. I’ve dog sat many fur babies! I enjoy the responsibility of caring for my furry friends. There’s nothing I’m not up for. I am a full time grad student. I have free time in the evening and various days throughout the week. I am busy, but also available and ready to help where and when I’m needed. I am meticulous, and very passionate when it comes to animals. I love giving back to my friends who add so much happiness to my life. It’s the “leash” I can do.

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!

“Jessica is absolutely amazing!! She gave my two dogs so much love and attention on their walks and spoiled them rotten! She’s truly wonderful and hope to work with her again!”
