About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life thanks in part to my grandmother who ran a dog grooming and pet rescue. I’ve babysat and owned a handful of different breeds with a variety of temperaments. Everything from miniature dachshund, chihuahuas to larger pups like border collies, chow-chows, and more. If your pups are especially food motivated I can teach them a handful of useful skills if needed. My wife and I are both remote and work flexible schedules which means your pup will have plenty of love and attention throughout the day. Additionally, we have two mini Aussiedoodles who love most other dogs and would give your pup plenty of time socialize. Making sure our pups are good fit together would be an important factor to us. My wife and I live on acre of land, with a quarter acre of that being fenced in and a dogs dream, just ask our two mini Aussiedoodles. There’s plenty of space for your pup to run around and exercise.
About: I have a big house with room to run and play. I'm happy taking care of the puppies and dogs that aren't quite fully potty trained. My family dog in Florida is not spayed so I have experience with females in heat. I don't mind cleaning up messes because the house is all mine. I have 2 small dogs living with me that are very spoiled. My little Einstein has allergies so I buy him special food, shampoo, conditioner, etc to help with his itchy skin. He is a quiet little one who loves meeting new pups. My little Lola loves to cuddle and chew on her bone. You can be certain that your dog will be spoiled too. I also have 2 cats, Harley and Quinn, who have their own room where they love to play. As for me, I'm a Preschool Teacher. My work is right down the road so I come home and let my dogs out during lunch. My dogs go out every couple hours when I'm home. Spending time with my dogs and cats is probably one of my greatest joys.

About: I've always grown up around dogs and I have always had a deep love for animals in general. At my dads house, we've had a dog since as long as I can remember. When I was 5 we got a puppy at my dad's house and I would feed him, take him on walks, and play with him all the time throughout the years as we grew up together. At my moms house we got a shitzu puppy when I was 13 and another when I was 17. I help with feeding, walking, bathing, and lots of play time and snuggles! I currently have a part time job where I work 2 days a week (4 hour shifts), so I have plenty of time to stop by and see your pets whenever you need! When I stop by to check in on your pets I'm able to feed them, take them outside, and give them some fun play time. In addition to this, if you have further requests during my time there please feel free to ask and I will do my best to fulfill them!
About: Hi, I’m Geoffrey! Love to take dogs to the local parks. Both the Dog Park or the beautiful nature trails in the area. Have plenty of experience house and dog sitting. Have invited my dogs to participate in my yoga practice over the years. They seem to be mostly passive and relaxed during this activity. 😂 Excellent at massage, playing my piano or violin for them, singing, and treats. Treating them like the royalty the noble creatures they are is how I like describe my style. Their needs come first when I’m on the clock. I’ve just started doing this in the Lockport area and would love to get to know the community! Recently moved back from San Diego and happy to have returned to Western New York! Hope to hear from you.
