“Jessie was fabulous with my dogs while I was gone. Communicated very well, was very respectful of my home. My dog actually had a medical issue and she handled it promptly and efficiently. She will definitely be my go-to when I need pet care, and I will also be hiring her to train my younger dog. HIGHLY recommend her, but also, she’s mine lol so check with me first. ;) seriously though she’s great, your dogs will be very well cared for by her.”

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was a child. I always say hi to the dogs first when visiting family and friends! I work a full time job and am remote (from home) and am very flexible to fitting the needs of the potential furry friends I am given the opportunity to meet! I will follow directions to keep the animals safety and routine within their and their owners boundaries. During walks, I will respect the owner request regarding distance and interaction with other dogs, and people.
About: I've taken care of dogs for about 3 years, all rover clients. I've been relied on to walk, feed, bathe, and love on furry friends of all shapes and sizes (both cats and dogs). I currently have no other job except this one and I love giving your pets my undevided care and attention. Let me care for your furry relatives. I am home always and will make sure no harm comes to your fur babies. I'll always make sure they have enough food, water, and love.
About: I have loved dogs my whole life. Unfortunately (with the exception of when I was very little and one year as a teenager living with my mother) I grew up without dogs living with my father in an apartment. Getting married changed that as my wife at the time of dating had one dog and we now have 3 wonderful dogs, all rescues. We have also fostered in the past. I am passionate about rescuing dogs and dogs (and all animals) rights to a loving home free of abuse. I receive so much joy from being with dogs and have formed a strong bond with all 3 of our kids. My wife and I have no human children so the dogs are pretty much our life. As of now I am in between jobs so I have a lot of availability. I am looking for late mornings through the evening. I unfortunately cannot do overnights or earl mornings. I don't think I could do it at my house as out dogs do not always get along with others especially on their territory. I would be available to work I your home or I can provide dog walking services.
“Tatyjana was fantastic. She gave us daily updates and was quick to respond. It was obvious she pampered the dogs while she was here; she even got them to tolerate nail trimmings! When we got home, the dogs were happy, the house was clean, the chickens were taken care of. We will absolutely hire her again.”

“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our dog Poppyseed. It was our first time using her and she went above and beyond. We received lots of updates and photos, always quick to respond, reliable, and trustworthy. I would use Sarah again and will recommend her to friends :).”

About: I've cared for family and friends dogs since I was a teenager, as well as our own dogs. I have experience with diabetic dogs and other medical needs. I work part time and will spend my off time with your pup. I like to meet everyone before sitting so I can get to know their routines and make sure everyone is comfortable! I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.
“Kelsey was a great dogsitter who went above and beyond for us. She stayed at the house for 3 overnights with our 2 old lady dogs while we went to my dad's memorial. Our old lady dogs are so old that the kennel would be too much for them. Kelsey deftly handled their separate feeding requirements and kept them on their potty schedule. She made fast friends with them and they were at ease with her. She was communicative with us about her schedule and even sent fun photo updates. We trusted her and really appreciated her being there. We feel like we lucked out with Kelsey and hope to hire her again! Thank you Kelsey, from Ruby, Daisy and all of us!”

About: Hi! My name is Celeste. I’ve been caring for animals for 20+ years and believe every animal is special, beautiful, and has a unique personality! I helped train dogs at Petco for three years which taught me how to anticipate and correct behaviors. I will make sure they are loved, entertained, learning, and safe. You don’t have to worry about your fur baby when they’re with me :) A little more about me: I’m currently a quality control lab technologist and decided to care for dogs in my spare time. It’s a great way to get out of the house, get exercise, and meet adorable animals!! Please feel free to ask me any questions. I look forward to caring for your pets! Thanks! — Celeste
“Carly was AMAZING! My boys are great with strangers but I could tell they looked forward to seeing her the whole time she was watching them. I didnt mind if she spent a ton of time with them to try and make sure they weren’t too high maintenance but she spent lots of time snuggling them, and giving them toys when she came over. Very quick and great communication. I would absolutely recommend her for your babies!”

“Melissa was the best cat sitter I've ever had!! She sent plenty photos and made me feel so safe to leave home with her watching over nova. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Jillian was amazing! We had to leave to the UK for a ten day trip and we needed someone we could trust to watch our two dachshunds. I was very worried about leaving my senior dachshund especially because he takes medicine morning and night and has a history of IVDD. Jillian understood their routine right away and our dogs loved her! She's responsible, attentive and has great energy. She even fed my husband's fish and axolotl! She is great and we would use her again to take care of our doggies in a heartbeat!”
“Angela watched both of my dogs while I was on vacation at my campsite on literally the weekend of July 4, 2022. She is a very kind and gentle soul. She has so much knowledge and compassion working with animals. She took care of my babies with so much love. She very responsible and goes extra! Very trustworthy and kind person. Honestly it was the first time I met her but her personality and compassion shows She on time and goes beyond. You won’t be disappointed and your pets will love her Highly recommend”

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.
