We absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for help with their pet , she is a wonderful, caring, professional and kind person who adores animals!!! We were so thrilled with her services, and will definitely use her again. She came to our house for several weeks, doing drop-in visits with our dog when I was out of town working remote. I received a over Report Card everytime, detailing all the care and the fun that they had together. She also sent multiple pictures everytime as well. Millie looked forward to Samantha's visits and they became fast best friends. They played fetch, went on walks, had potty breaks and food breaks and lots of cuddling! Thank you Samantha:)

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.

About: I've been in the animal industry for 9 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior, Ecology, and Conservation. I have worked at Pet Stores, Vet offices, Zoo's, Wildlife Centers, and Rescues. Currently I am a Professional Dog Trainer at Petco. I can work with any animal of any age or temperament - there its many things I have yet to experience. I have a fixed chedule for my training Classes so its easy to book around that and book well ahead of time, as I only have the one job. I am hyper aware of Pet and person safety and know how to read animal behavior to ensure they are doing well no matter the situation, and I know how to act accordingly if they become stressed or upset.

About: I have grown up around animals, as I live on a farm and we have always had dogs or cats as pets. I am very flexible as I work part time at a cafe. I am willing to drive and to take your dog to parks, on walks or hikes or runs, and even the beach if they please. I am currently raising a German Shorthaired Pointer of my own and she has become my whole world. I always feel guilty leaving her home alone during the day or when I am busy so I'd love nothing more than being able to help someone else out when they need someone to check in or relieve their dog. I am willing to work on training and obedience if that is something you are interested in.

Megan did a excellent job watching our little man Guido. He can be very picky on who he gives his attention to. In every picture she sent he was snuggled up on her. Which means he is very happy and comfortable. So glad we found Megan as a sitter. We will definitely use her again.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 17 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to routines, leash safety, and each dog’s individual needs — whether that means a long, energetic walk or a slower, more relaxed pace. I’m especially patient with dogs who are nervous, shy, or need a calm presence, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and positive experiences. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’ve set aside dedicated time for dog walks! I’m flexible with weekday walks and happy to accommodate regular weekly schedules as well as occasional walks when needed. I focus on being punctual, reliable, and consistent so your dog can count on a familiar routine🐾 Your dog’s safety is always my top priority! I follow leash safety at all times, pay close attention to body language, and tailor each walk to your dog’s comfort and energy level. I’m careful with weather conditions, traffic, and surroundings, and I treat every dog and home with respect. I’ll always follow your instructions and provide thoughtful updates after each walk!

About: I’ve taken care of plenty of different animals ! I would gladly watch your animal for a few hours or days. Whatever you need! I try my best to be super flexible. I am also great at taking pictures of your cute fur baby and sending them to all my friends (and you). When boarding your furry friend with me they must be good with other dogs. I have two dogs of my own who love to play and has lots of energy :) I work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Fridays. Tuesdays are my days off! I typically work 6:30am to 5pm. Otherwise I'm there for your fur baby! I’m off on the weekends :). When I’m not home Monday, Thursday and Friday my boyfriend works from home. This way your pet will be well loved all day. Typically, I prefer your “routine” for the animal left for me. I never want to disrupt any sort of routine you have going! Plus, writing everything down helps me remember! I also would like to meet you and your fur baby before pet sitting them. Just to ensure your animal is comfortable around me.

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs my whole life, and cared for them in a professional boarding kennel for over four years! As the owner of a special needs pup, I have experience with both behavioral issues and medical issues alike. Care and understanding is the most important part of interacting with our fur babies, and I've got plenty of both! I work full time Monday through Friday, but am available after 4:30 pm during those days and all day during the weekends! Hours may be flexible I'm extremely careful and respectful of your space and my sole goal is to make sure your dog is as comfortable and happy as they can be while you're away!

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.

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 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 have experience as an overnight pet sitter, drop-in visitor, and dog walker, providing dependable and attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I truly love dogs and all animals, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy and am passionate about! One of my greatest strengths is communication. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel informed and at ease, so I make it a priority to provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses. I treat every pet like they are my own and work hard to ensure both pets and owners feel happy, comfortable, and confident in my care. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the day for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Along with my nannying experience and active lifestyle, caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I’m dependable, organized, and love spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, providing overnight care, or stopping in for visits and playtime. I always make it a priority to keep pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine when I’m caring for them in a client’s home. I follow all feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and any specific care requests to make sure each pet feels as stress free as possible. I love spending quality time with animals through walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention based on their personality and needs. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect the space, keep everything clean and organized, and provide regular updates with photos and communication so owners feel comfortable while they’re away.
