“Robin was great with my feline fur babies! She made it easy to adjust the booking to accommodate their feeding schedule and she kept me up to date with pics of their antics so I knew they were in good hands.”
“Jenna truly went over and above!!! She really loves my cats as her own… And even when they were scared and hiding under the bed, she served them their treats upstairs. She’s an amazing pet sitter in every way. I’ve booked her many times and will continue to do so.”
“Belle was amazing. Went above and beyond to care for our kitties. Sent us detailed notes and many pictures daily. It made being away from our cats a little easier. Everyone was very happy all week. Highly recommend and we will be working with her again for sure!”
About: I want to provide peace of mind to pet owners, by caring for their furry family members in there absence, as I want for my own furry family. Safe, loving and fun environment for pets to be cared for. I have senior animals and a puppy..I also give injections and have no problem giving medications. My husband and I both work, but due to different shifts, someone is always home to care for our guests. We can always be available. We have a fenced in yard, and also a smaller fenced in yard to secure no escapes :) we can modify as needed for your precious pet.
“I highly recommend Sam. She was absolutely fantastic dropping in to take care of my 4 cats, including administering the one cat's daily inhaler for asthma. Sam was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and thorough in letting me know how everyone was doing. Sam made my babies and myself very comfortable and confident in being very well taken care of. I look forward to having Sam back in future!”
“Amanda was an amazing sitter for our cat, Louie! We reached out to her just before Thanksgiving and she got back to us right away and fit us into her schedule. Louie is not much for strangers and Amanda managed to even get him to warm up to her and sent us photos daily :) Not only did she take great care of our cat, but she let us know if she brought packages in and brought in the mail. We will absolutely have her watch our cat/dog anytime we need a sitter. 100% recommend Amanda!”
“Kendra noticed that Bojo was nibbling on one of my plants. Probably was the reason for the throw ups. The cats enjoyed having a human spending the night with them and getting some love and attention from Kendra. She did a great job with them and I will have her come back when I travel again.”
“Kylee did a wonderful job once again caring for our 19 y/o Ben. She has cared for him twice before. It is so important to have competent, consistent care especially for an older pet. She gives us peace of mind so that we can enjoy our little get-aways. Love the photos and updates she sends!”
“Barbie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for us and our pets. Her detailed updates and frequent photos helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so comforting knowing our kitties were in such good hands! We will definitely be using Barbie again in the future!”
About: Hello, my name is Brianna and I love animals! I worked at Petsmart for six years and have always had dogs in my home. I think dogs need love, attention, social situations, and lots of exercise to truly thrive. I had my own Pomeranian /poodle mix dog named Diesel for 10 years that I absolutely adored before his recent passing. I have met and worked with many types of dogs throughout my life. I currently have a very open schedule as I am between work contracts for a couple months. I have a lot of time to help care for your buddy! I have taken care of my own dog for all ten years of his life. I loved to cuddle with him and play with him. I love all dogs and love to see them happy.
“Kelsey is amazing and always takes such great care of our fuzz boys! We really feel like we have nothing to worry about when we’re traveling thanks to her! Would highly recommend her!”
“It was our first time using Rover and it was so comforting to see the pictures that Lauren sent us while we were away..Our furbaby was quite content..Lauren was amazing, brought in our amazon package, and sent us a picture of our parking lot as it was finished being paved..Thanks Lauren..Looking forward to using Lauren again in the near future..”
“Lauren took care of my cat for 2 weeks! She sent me updates and pictures of my fur baby the whole time. I am confident Lauren took great care of my cat and would definitely use her services again in the future!!”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up so I know basic care and would like to be able to do more and help others who need it! I work part time, but right now my schedule is up in the air. I am ready and able to make just about anything work! I am unable to house any dogs as I live in a campus setting. However, I am happy to walk them in a safe area, cuddle with them, and play with them!
“Emily was fantastic! She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable about watching our kitties and sent us really sweet updates/ pictures every time she stopped by. She even brought in our packages for us while we were away. We are so happy to have found a pet sitter we can trust. Thank you again Emily! :)”
“Jacqueline gets a very high recommendation from us. She is dependable and took great care of our two cats while we were away for several days. I hope we are lucky to get Jacqueline again for our pet sitting needs!”
About: I have had dogs in my family for my entire life. I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, ranging from 10 weeks to 19 years. I currently have a boxer and terrier mix. I have a lot of experience with big dogs, but I do have some experience with small dogs due to my grandparents and friends. I’ve been in Buffalo for about a year now and I am in college. I don’t have a full or part time job so I can focus on my studies, therefore I am flexible for most of the day and week. I will not offer care for pets in my home due to my own dogs. I am living with another person so I am free to leave the house to care for your pets in your home.
