“Samara has been an awesome dog walker! I have nothing but great things to say about her. She walked my dog 2x a day, early mornings and evenings. She took great care of my dog. She knew his limitations and accommodated him. Cody doesn’t do well in heat and she delayed his evening walks until it cooled down. We will miss her! Thank you Samara!”
About: There hasn't been a time in my life that hasn't had multiple pets in it. I have worked on farms and in a vet hospital and the joy of making an animal happy never goes away. I currently have 2 small dogs and 3 cats, the oldest being 20 years old. I would love the opportunity to help you care for your animals. i work remote and therefore have the ability to schedule my work around the needs of any animals I might be taking care of while their humans are away! Having a dog with behavioral issues for years taught me a great deal about how to work with and understand dogs better. Each animal is unique but I find that with enough patience and scritches you can make most tails wag.
About: Hi there! I’m your dog’s future favorite human — the Cool Dog Auntie 😎🐕. I may not have a pup of my own (yet!), but I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends for years. From weekend stays to weeklong pup-sitting, I’ve done it all — including walking just about every waterfront trail in Erie County! During a recent 8-month break from work, I spent nearly every day walking my friend’s dog, exploring parks, playing fetch, and bonding with her like she was my own. Whether your dog needs long walks, belly rubs, or a cozy buddy while you’re away, I’m here to make them feel loved and happy. Let’s get your pup’s tail wagging — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾 I'm a hybrid worker, which means I have daytime availability on Mondays and Fridays, weekday evenings, and I'm often free on weekends (unless I'm traveling). Just reach out — I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to walk routes and favorite toys — to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I keep things clean, make sure water bowls are always full, and scoop litter or pick up waste promptly. I also keep an eye out for any unusual behavior and will reach out if something seems off. Most importantly, I give your pet plenty of love, attention, and playtime so they feel safe and cared for. You’ll get regular updates (and cute photos!), and I’ll always lock up carefully, follow your home instructions, and leave things just as I found them — or better.
“Karlyn is amazing! She is reliable and great at communicating! Not to mention, I love the pictures and the details about her visit! I’d recommend her to anyone needing help with their pup!”
About: Dog dad and Pet lover for life! Pet care has been ingrained into my lifestyle since I was a child. Need a vacation or a helping hand? No matter the size or species, I can handle your pet's needs. Most of my weekends are free and I have time in the evenings during the week and I would love nothing more than to fill that time caring for your pet! Let's schedule a meeting! Growing up with numerous animals and as a first-time dog owner, I know sticking to a schedule is imperative for our furry friends. Exercise via walks around the neighborhood and/or playtime, scheduled nourishment, and all the love I can give. Your pet's schedule is my priority!
About: Hi, I’m Amy — your pet’s new favorite auntie! 🐾 Since growing up with big dogs, small dogs, and cats - I have been a lifelong animal lover living vicariously through pet sitting for friends. I’ve always been the one that friends, roommates, and coworkers call when they need someone they can trust with their pets—and now I’m here for you too. Whether your furry family member is a playful pup, a chill cat, or a quirky critter, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I live an active lifestyle and love long walks, playtime, and cozy cuddle sessions. I’m happy to care for pets with all kinds of personalities—high-energy dogs, shy cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s boarding at my place or house sitting at yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know how much your pet means to you, and I’ll always follow your care routines, send regular updates, and create a stress-free experience for both of you. I currently work from home on Fridays and am available on weekends for daytime or overnight dog sitting in my home (small and medium size dogs) or house sitting/drop in visits/walks for any pets between Friday 1 pm and Sunday 8 pm. Your home or mine, I love to be active or cuddle - whatever your pet’s personality is! My backyard is not fenced in, but does have a nice space for potty breaks. I am close by Delaware park for long walks. I don’t mind if pups use a crate or roam the house - whatever you prefer, but in my home I will ask that your pet is house trained.
“Christina was such a wonderful gift to our household for the few months we had her. Ginny loved her walks with her during the week and Christina showed her such love and care as if she was her own. We will miss her greatly! Highly recommend to anyone looking for care for the pup! ❤️”
“Rose is great! She accommodated a last minute booking for me for a walk with my dog while I was at a doctor's appointment - I got stuck in horrible traffic on my way to meet her due to an accident on the interstate blocking two lanes and she was very understanding and didn't mind waiting for me. I am super grateful to her for being available and flexible when things didn't go to plan. Floyd had a nice walk with her during my appointment and was very happy to meet a new friend. I highly recommend her for her professionalism and willingness to roll with the punches.”
About: I grew up with dogs and took care of them my whole life. I get so excited and look forward to meeting new furry friends! I have 4 children : 2 black labs, a Staffordshire mix, and a Russian blue cat. I have experience with walking and caring for both large and small dogs. It makes my day seeing how happy dogs get from a single walk or a belly rub. Dogs are my passion and would love to make their day by giving them endless compassion as they do for us. I am almost always available during the summer. I'm a student athlete at Buffalo state, so my summer weekly routine is very flexible for your pets needs I live in a great neighborhood which is very dog friendly. My street I live on is very peaceful with plenty of dogs and very low traffic. My house has a medium sized unfenced backyard.

Riverside Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are so grateful for Madeleine! This is our first time using a sitter for our dog. She is patient, flexible and communicative. I appreciate her knowledge around dog body language and was grateful for all of the questions she asked to get to know Beau beforehand. I would highly recommend her and look forward to having her assist in the future!
Holly has been walking my dog, Amelia, three times a week for a while now, and I couldn’t be happier. She’s my first dog walker, and the experience has been excellent. Holly is consistent, communicates clearly before and after every walk, and always sends photos, which I really appreciate. Most importantly, Amelia seems to really like her! I’m so glad I found Holly, she has been a wonderful help.
