Dog Walking Parkside

“Kate is a great dog walker, very reliable and kind! Our pup comes home tired in a good way ;) Nice to check the stats of their walks and see the pics too.”

Luisa G.

“Tammy was great! She documented the walk, provided updates, and Sully was ready for a nap when he got back!”

About: Growing up, my dog was my best friend. We went on all sorts of adventures together and I loved every moment of it. Now, I miss it. I’d love a chance to share my passion for taking care of your pets with you. I have 10+ years experience caring for both dogs and cats (also birds, hamsters, fish, rabbits, who’s counting?). I am very adaptable to any situation your pet may throw my way. I am friendly, enthusiastic, flexible, a great communicator and wonderful pet sitter. If you have any questions, send me a message! I respond right away. My work schedule is entirely flexible. When I am not working, I am typically at home, spending time with my partner and cats. My extreme flexibility makes a perfect fit for those days when your pet may need some extra care. I am very adaptable :) Due to living in an apartment complex, I am unable to provide boarding services. Outside of this, I take wonderful care for all types of animals. I am very respectful of everyone’s space. I always communicate with others when I arrive somewhere, when there are concerns, and when I am leaving. I also can grab mail, take out the garbage, and make it look like I was never even there lol!

About: Hi pet parents of Buffalo! Here’s a little about me: I began pet sitting on Rover 7 years ago while attending graduate school in Atlanta, and have received so much joy from meeting and caring for dozens of people’s pets throughout the years. Now, I’ve been putting down roots here in Buffalo and have made caring for pets my full time business. Based on your pet’s needs, I am available for drop ins daily between 7am-8pm, including holidays and weekends (check ins outside those hours can be discussed on an individual basis). I know how hard it can be to trust your pet with a new person. Rest assured, I will treat your pet like my own 2 cats (spoiled and loved)! I pride myself on connecting with each individual pet, my communication with clients, following instructions, and my reliability. Please, do not be embarrassed if you have a 5-page instructions document for your pet, or, alternatively, if you needed to book last-minute and only have time for a virtual meet-and-greet; I am here to adapt and provide care for your particular situation. Please send me a message or request to see if we may be a good fit. I can't wait to meet your pet! As pet sitting is my full time business, my schedule during normal business hours is very flexible. I typically accept drop-ins between the hours of 7am-8pm, although visits outside those times can be discussed on an individual basis. The services I provide are: - 30 minutes-1 hour drop-ins in the clients home to feed/play/other duties for cats/dogs/other animals -30 minutes-1 hour walks from the clients home for dogs Other time frames or scenarios can be discussed on an individual basis. For new clients, I provide a free in person or virtual meet & greet to discuss pet care before booking.

“Kiana was great at communicating if we needed to and also went the extra step of taking care of our guinea pigs while we were away :) Thank you so much.”

“Chloe handled my very hyper pup like a pro! I am so grateful that she was available last minute and gave him the much needed break from the crate that he needed. I would highly recommend!”

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: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog owner with 4+ years of hands-on pet sitting experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve had dogs since I was very young, and I’ve been heavily involved in their daily care, training, and exercise routines. With my current dog, I worked closely with two professional trainers, which gave me a strong understanding of behavior, structure, and positive reinforcement. I also have experience with rescue dogs, including one with a history of abuse, so I’m especially patient and attentive with anxious or sensitive dogs who need a calmer approach. Over the past few years, I’ve provided walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for family friends and referrals. I’m comfortable with everything from basic routines to more involved care, and I always prioritize making pets feel safe, exercised, and well loved while their owners are away. I’m also happy to follow any training routines or reinforce commands you’re currently working on. I’ll treat your dog like my own and keep you updated so you always have peace of mind. I’m currently working 2 jobs part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I’m a photographer, so my schedule varies a bit and can be flexible, so reach out and I can very likely work with your needs! I deliver thoughtful, routine-focused care in your home, with close attention to your pet’s needs, behaviors, and comfort. You can expect a clean space, clear communication, and dependable updates.

About: What sets me apart is my versatile experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Beyond daily care and managing my own two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi, I specialize in positive reinforcement training for puppies and administering gentle, patient care for senior animals. As a doctoral student, my schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, making it easy to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day. My daily routine is already anchored by morning and evening care for my two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi. Because I spend a significant amount of time studying and working from home, I can comfortably accommodate midday dog walks, frequent potty breaks, and consistent feeding schedules while providing plenty of companionship. Whether in your home or mine, safety and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, and house rules to ensure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean. In my own home, I maintain a calm and safe atmosphere. I have a two-year-old Siberian mix named Jiaozi, so any visiting pets will have careful, supervised introductions, and I can easily separate spaces if needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and stress-free. No matter the location, I always send plenty of photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind.

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.

About: All 3 of my animals I've owned throughout my life have lived full, happy lives. They also, however, required close supervision. Both cats were outdoor cats which required consistent grooming, tick repellant, and even medicine administration for when they ate something they shouldn't have, or developed infections (administering pills to a cat is a skill I'm proud to put on my resume.) My dog Connor developed an autoimmune disease, and required prednisone administration daily. He was also a very reactive dog to other dogs, so those behaviors I am very well-versed in handling. The same can be said for my partner's family's two dogs (black lab mix and white Dogo Argentino), and my sister's pug mix. Dogs are reactive for a reason and I do not judge them for it, I'm happy to accommodate their predispositions. I work completely remote (and to be truthful it's a pretty chill job day to day) so I'd consider myself the best option as someone who has a full time job outside of Rover! Plus, I love the company of pet sitting during the week. I'm of the belief that cats and dogs belong on the couch and the bed, so in my home they are allowed wherever they please. That being said, if you have more strict rules for your animals either inside my home or yours, I completely understand and have no problem carrying out your wishes (obviously.) My care style is attentive. I know that's another obvious answer, but I've always loved interacting with animals, playing with them, etc. It makes me happy.

About: Howdy! I have had animals all my life, dogs,cats,hamsters,bunnies and even a horse! I love animals of all sizes and ages. I'm not permitted to have animals where live, so I would love to shower your fur baby with all my love and care. I can do it all..walks,bathes, feeding or just snuggles and comfort! I've recently left the world of retail( I'd much rather spend time with the furry kind!) I have all day to devote to your four legged family member. I find myself outside and walking all the time. I would enjoy sharing these walks with your pet. I'm also available for those overnight slumber parties with your puppies(all dogs are puppies at heart)! From all my pet sitting experience, I've found that keeping them in their home, is a safer,calmer and more relaxing environment! So I prefer to stay in their home. You might even find your dishes washed!

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 have beautiful parks near by with plenty of room to play!

About: I've been around animals my whole life and have an appreciation for the love that they bring to your home! I of course will do my very best to take care of them. As a pet owner myself I would expect nothing less for any care taker. I'm ok with big or small dogs as well as cats. Please let me know if your pet as any special needs or has any allergies. Knowing in advance makes my job easier and keeps your pet safe! Also let me know if your pet requires any other accomindations and I will do my best to make sure that they are met. I look forward to meeting your pet and having the opportunity to take care of them! I have a flexible schedule but would appreciate a heads up on any changes so we can plan ahead and make sure our furry friends are taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard with two very friendly dogs myself. I do walks and lots of outside time to keep up with their high energy

About: I have always been an animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, and with special needs. Let me spoil your cat or dog while you need to step away! I included pictures of past pets that I have owned or cared for. I work from home with a flexible daily schedule, so your precious pet will get non-stop attention. Daycare drop off and pickup hours can be between 6 am and 7 pm. Pickup times after 7 pm would need to be booked as overnight boarding with pickup the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. Currently, I don’t have any pets in my apartment, yet I have plenty of open space for hosting furry visitors. I have worked with many foster dogs who were abused and needed extra attention, so I am sensitive to any special needs your pet may have. I will be glad to take your dog for outside walks at least few times a day! Please let me know of any other needs your pet may have and I will be happy to discuss how I could accommodate.

About: I have a sweet cat named Pepper and an energetic orange cat named Turmeric that lives with me and I grew up with a small terrier. I have always taken care of my neighbors pets growing up while they were away and I do the same for my neighbors today here in Buffalo! They have even connected me with their own friends as well. It has become something I love doing-helping out and getting lots of licks and cuddles as well! I have experience caring for older pets who need special accommodations as well as administering medications or giving any such as insulin shots and SSRI’s I am available for any walks, chow time or playtime on weekends anytime and after 4:30pm on weeks days but I can be very flexible and help out in mornings before my day job as well! Unfortunately, I have a furry friend at home that may not be open to sharing a space but I am happy to help out any furry friend in your home! I always make sure my pets are in good care and have everything they need to be happy 😊

“Katie was thoughtful and communicated the entire time. She followed instructions and offered to virtually meet and greet when we couldn’t find a time available. Will definitely use her again.”

“Our dog Moose has taken many walks with Emma, and she always comes back happy and exhausted. Moose is strong and a bit rambunctious, but we know she's in good hands with Emma, and getting the exercise and stimulation she needs!”
