About: Hi pet parents of Buffalo! Here’s a little about me: I began pet sitting on Rover 7 years ago while attending graduate school in Atlanta, and have received so much joy from meeting and caring for dozens of people’s pets throughout the years. Now, I’ve been putting down roots here in Buffalo and have made caring for pets my full time business. Based on your pet’s needs, I am available for drop ins daily between 7am-8pm, including holidays and weekends (check ins outside those hours can be discussed on an individual basis). I know how hard it can be to trust your pet with a new person. Rest assured, I will treat your pet like my own 2 cats (spoiled and loved)! I pride myself on connecting with each individual pet, my communication with clients, following instructions, and my reliability. Please, do not be embarrassed if you have a 5-page instructions document for your pet, or, alternatively, if you needed to book last-minute and only have time for a virtual meet-and-greet; I am here to adapt and provide care for your particular situation. Please send me a message or request to see if we may be a good fit. I can't wait to meet your pet! As pet sitting is my full time business, my schedule during normal business hours is very flexible. I typically accept drop-ins between the hours of 7am-8pm, although visits outside those times can be discussed on an individual basis. The services I provide are: - 30 minutes-1 hour drop-ins in the clients home to feed/play/other duties for cats/dogs/other animals -30 minutes-1 hour walks from the clients home for dogs Other time frames or scenarios can be discussed on an individual basis. For new clients, I provide a free in person or virtual meet & greet to discuss pet care before booking.

“Izzy took the time to let my dogs acclimate to her and was very patient with my 11 year old dog. She shared her feedback timely and is a real gem to work with.”

About: As a lifetime pet owner, until recently, I have owned dogs for all of my life, and I’ve gone above and beyond in the care of my pets and their needs. I had my last dog from when I was in 6th grade all the way until I was a Junior in college. Through this time, I watched him develop from a puppy to a senior dog with senior needs, including strenuous lifting and even diaper changes. I am willing to go to the same lengths when caring for your beloved pets! Throughout my life, I’ve also helped my friends care for their dogs and pets. I understand the bond between an owner and their pets, and the sacred nature of letting someone else take care of them, even for a short period of time. I am currently pursuing an online Master's Degree through SUNY Oswego, and I am relatively free for the time being. I could fit your care needs into any of my days. With experience in caring for pups and cats, I can pretty much do anything you would need me to do in your home, from feeding, to walking, to crating, to keeping them excited and entertained.

“I am highly satisfied with Michael' s services. He is deeply invested and in tune with my dog's needs and extremely knowledgeable in terms of training and the components involved with gaining trust. My dog,Simon,looks forward to His time with Michael and is very excited when He sees Him arriving. Michael has also been extremely accommodating with the schedule. This is the first time that I have used this type of service and I feel as though I have hit the jackpot.”

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs for neighbors and family friends in my hometown of East Aurora, NY for approximately ten years. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of free time in the summer months as well as a daily work schedule from September-June. I am available for pet care before and after work (early mornings, late afternoon, evening). I am also available on weekends. I have a cat of my own and grew up with cats, but have experience taking care of dogs as well. I will spend quality time with your pets if requested and am available to walk dog(s). I am a Spanish teacher and am off during the summer months to take care of pets at any time. Otherwise, I am able to drop in before or after the work day. I provide care that meets the requests of the pet parent, as each pet parent is different. I am happy to collect mail, water plants, and honor other small requests to provide peace of mind while clients are away.

About: Howdy! I have had animals all my life, dogs,cats,hamsters,bunnies and even a horse! I love animals of all sizes and ages. I'm not permitted to have animals where live, so I would love to shower your fur baby with all my love and care. I can do it all..walks,bathes, feeding or just snuggles and comfort! I've recently left the world of retail( I'd much rather spend time with the furry kind!) I have all day to devote to your four legged family member. I find myself outside and walking all the time. I would enjoy sharing these walks with your pet. I'm also available for those overnight slumber parties with your puppies(all dogs are puppies at heart)! From all my pet sitting experience, I've found that keeping them in their home, is a safer,calmer and more relaxing environment! So I prefer to stay in their home. You might even find your dishes washed!

About: My name is Katie and I live in Kenmore, NY. I have started my own freelance dog brushing service in the local neighborhood, but I wanted to increase my market share. Rover.com seemed like the perfect way to meet new clients and care for more dogs. I have owned dogs as long as I can remember. I have a 10-year-old Havanese dog right now, and his energetic personality is perfect for me. I had to take care of my cockapoo named Daisy when she was getting too old to function on her own. I care about animals very much, and I would love to take care of your dog for you! I hope you and your dog have a spectacular day. Don't hesitate, call Kate! I’m trying to leave a dead-end job so as soon as I get another job and some steady dog clients, I can leave and go to do something better for my mental health. Pick a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life! NO BOARDING. I do not have space at my apartment to house your pet while you go on vacation. But all animals I care for, I treat them with as much care as I would if they were my own.

About: With 30+ years of pet care experience, I provide loving, attentive care for pets of all ages. Experienced with puppy training, senior pets, and giving medications, I treat every pet like family while you’re away. As a mother of four, a special education teacher, and a lifelong pet lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and small animals, I bring patience, love, and reliability to every pet I care for. I’m home by 3 PM on weekdays and have open weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide walks, playtime, meals, and companionship. Your pets will be treated like family, with consistent care, attention, and lots of love while you’re awa Clean, attentive, and passionate about pets! I go above and beyond in your home, keeping your fur babies happy, safe, and loved—and I’ll send professional-quality photos to make you smile while you’re away.

About: I've been a cat dad of my own and looked after friends' and family's cats and dogs for 20+ years, including those in good health and those with special healthcare needs, like regular medications, etc. I love playing with them and just hanging out together...Basically just being pals! I'm not working full-time currently, I'm available every day of the week for pet care needs. Right now my main responsibilities are to the beck and call of my own 7-year-old Calico cat Partridge. I am very adept at dealing with feeding cats and dogs, dog walking, cleaning/clearing litter, and socializing with cats and dogs at their own comfort level. I have experience with special feeding routines such as pill and oral syringe feeding, and with application of topical medicines/ointments.

About: I’m a pet owner myself and know how important our fur babies are to us! I currently have some time in my schedule that allows me to help others out with their babies as well! I have most mornings and evenings open. Allowing me to do drop in visits. Whether you’re out of town and want someone to check in or need daily drop ins to make sure the babies are good, I can be there! I care for pets in clients homes and communicate with them on their needs for each pet. Im comfortable distributing medication, handling dietary restrictions, waste removal, and much more!

About: Dogs aren’t just pets, they’re family, and I treat them that way! Whether it’s backyard zoomies, long sniff-filled walks, or lazy cuddle sessions, I love making every pup feel happy and at home. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who appreciate a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m comfortable with medication routines, reinforcing basic training, and adapting to each dog’s unique personality. Most importantly, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away, because they deserve nothing less. My goal is simple: to keep tails wagging and pet parents worry-free! I currently work a hybrid schedule (9–5) with three days in the office (Monday–Wednesday) and two days at home (Thursday–Friday), but my in-office days are flexible! On office days, I’m available for walks before and after work, as well as overnight boarding from 5:30 PM to 8 AM the next morning. When I’m working from home, I can offer walks throughout the day or full-day boarding. Weekends are completely open — I’m available Saturdays and Sundays for walks, drop-ins, or dog sitting at either my home or yours. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they have a calm, secure, and loving environment. I take the time to learn their routines, favorite spots, and any special needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. Walks are always done on leash, with plenty of water and breaks, and I never leave pets unattended outdoors. I also keep things tidy and make sure your home looks just as you left it. You can count on regular updates, photos, and lots of happy tails while you’re away!

“One of our pups is a bit of a handful, and Chris is able to handle him! So glad to have found Chris - he’s fantastic!”

About: All 3 of my animals I've owned throughout my life have lived full, happy lives. They also, however, required close supervision. Both cats were outdoor cats which required consistent grooming, tick repellant, and even medicine administration for when they ate something they shouldn't have, or developed infections (administering pills to a cat is a skill I'm proud to put on my resume.) My dog Connor developed an autoimmune disease, and required prednisone administration daily. He was also a very reactive dog to other dogs, so those behaviors I am very well-versed in handling. The same can be said for my partner's family's two dogs (black lab mix and white Dogo Argentino), and my sister's pug mix. Dogs are reactive for a reason and I do not judge them for it, I'm happy to accommodate their predispositions. I work completely remote (and to be truthful it's a pretty chill job day to day) so I'd consider myself the best option as someone who has a full time job outside of Rover! Plus, I love the company of pet sitting during the week. I'm of the belief that cats and dogs belong on the couch and the bed, so in my home they are allowed wherever they please. That being said, if you have more strict rules for your animals either inside my home or yours, I completely understand and have no problem carrying out your wishes (obviously.) My care style is attentive. I know that's another obvious answer, but I've always loved interacting with animals, playing with them, etc. It makes me happy.

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs my whole life! I have experience as a free lance dog walker and also worked at a doggy daycare, doing both daycare and boarding! I am familiar and comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats. I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and breeds and am familiar with keeping them safe! I hope to one day meet your fur baby and treat them like my own! I am fully available currently and am eager to fill my days with animal joy! I could start as early as 5 am and stay as late as 11pm! Whatever your pet sitting needs may be, I’ve got you covered! I provide a safe and stimulating environment for fur babies! I keep them out of trouble by keeping them entertained and happy! I keep them on the schedule they’re use to with some added fun!

About: I have always been an animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, breeds, and with special needs. Let me spoil your cat or dog while you need to step away! I included pictures of past pets that I have owned or cared for. I work from home with a flexible daily schedule, so your precious pet will get non-stop attention. Daycare drop off and pickup hours can be between 6 am and 7 pm. Pickup times after 7 pm would need to be booked as overnight boarding with pickup the following morning. I offer extended stays as well. Currently, I don’t have any pets in my apartment, yet I have plenty of open space for hosting furry visitors. I have worked with many foster dogs who were abused and needed extra attention, so I am sensitive to any special needs your pet may have. I will be glad to take your dog for outside walks at least few times a day! Please let me know of any other needs your pet may have and I will be happy to discuss how I could accommodate.

“We were traveling through buffalo in our rv Anne Marie was so helpful coming to where we were parked while we were gone and walking ruger, while we visited the Niagara Falls. She took pictures and provided us updates the whole day. Couldn't ask for more”

About: My biggest concern while I’m away on vacation is “how are my dogs doing?” They are like my children. I have used Rover in the past to watch my dogs and home while I’m on vacation. I want to be that trustworthy person for someone else. I have ALWAYS been an animal lover! I have rescued dogs, I’ve fostered dogs and watched dogs for friends and family. I have two Golden Retrievers at home who love to have company come over and play in the fenced in backyard. I am looking forward to taking care of your Furbaby like they are my own I work Full-time but am able to leave for lunch to take care of any pets needs during the day. Right now I go home everyday on lunch and spend time with my dogs. I have a fenced in backyard and 2 Golden Retrievers who love to have company! At this time, if I watch your dog in my home, he/she would need to be crated while I’m at work. They would be crated no longer than 4 hours unless I make other arrangements with my job, where I could come home more frequently.
