About: I’ve had pets my entire life- currently have a 13 year old Morkie with Addison’s disease who is a very spoiled girl! I have experience dog and cat sitting I’m a physical education teacher on summer vacation looking to get some extra exercise. I have a very open schedule and am able to check on pets multiple times throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their regular routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, and giving them exercise and playtime that matches their usual activity level. I also make sure to give them plenty of affection and attention, while respecting any specific training or house rules the owner has shared. I always keep the space clean and leave detailed updates with photos to give peace of mind. Safety is my top concern, so I stay alert to any changes in behavior or health and communicate with the owner immediately if anything seems off.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve owned many dogs throughout my life and currently share my home with two happy, well-behaved four-year-olds who are walked, bathed, and spoiled with love on a regular basis. Friends and family often rely on me to pet sit because they know I’m attentive, trustworthy, and caring with animals, always making sure their specific needs are met. I also have a 2-year-old daughter who adores animals just as much as I do, so your pets will be surrounded by lots of love and attention in our home. I’m happy to host your pets here or care for them in the comfort of your home, whichever makes them feel most at ease. You can count on me to treat your pets like family, because to me, that’s exactly what they are Accommodations can be made to adjust to whatever your needs may be. I currently work a hybrid model that offers flexibility and only need to be in my office three weekdays. The remainder of the week, I spend working in my home office (making sure I take plenty of breaks for puppy snuggles) My house is set up to meet the needs of a dog owner and the location is very quiet and streets are not busy. There are gated areas in my home to prevent dogs from going into rooms they shouldn't be in, or to simply give anyone space if needed. We love to play with our puppy friends in our fenced in back yard. My pets follow a daily routine and I am excited to see how I can help care for your pet while you are away!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages. From puppies to little old dogs. Big to small. All dogs need love. Same for cats. I work panama shifts 15 days out of the month. I am available weekdays and weekends depending of the week. I will only book daycare on days that I am fully available and do not work, this is for the sake of the dog. I am a full time dog mom before anything and have a dog of my own so I know the amount of attention a puppy needs in order to feel fulfilled. For all other services, my job is flexible during the week for me to do drop-ins and home visits. I live in an apartment however have no problem taking them on long frequent walks. I never keep things out in the open as I have experience in the past with my own dogs and them stealing my belonging so you never have to worry about your pet getting into things they should not be near. My home in always clean and tidy, comfortable for your animal to be in.

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: 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!

I can't care for pets in my own home because I am in an apartment, but a pet staying in the comfort of their own home is always great! I ensure I will keep them safe!
