“Andrea is absolutely wonderful with our special needs boy! Petey only has 3 legs and although he has a ton of energy he cannot do as much as he would like due to injury in his remaining back leg. Andrea is very flexible and accommodating to Petey and ensures that he never overdoes it! She is always looking for ways to tire him out though enrichment activities which do not require Petey exerting too much physical effort! Andrea is great with our other dog as well, ensuring that he gets lot of attention and physical play. She can juggle both without any issues. I've highly recommended Andrea to friends and neighbors!”


“Jessica has been an incredible dog sitter for my pit bull, Roxanne. Every day, Roxanne jumps with joy and eagerly waits for Jessica to arrive. It’s clear that Jessica takes great care of her, providing not just the essentials but also lots of love and attention. I couldn’t ask for a better person to look after my furry friend. Highly recommend her services!”


“I couldn’t be happier with the dog-sitting service Kate provides! She was punctual, communicated regularly with updates, and followed every instruction perfectly. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for reliable and professional care!”


“Julianna did a great job with our cats. She came twice a day right on time and communicated with us very effectively. We appreciated her follow up and her assurances our cats were fine. It was wonderful to see pictures from every visit. I would highly recommend Julianna to anyone looking for a professional and dependable sitter for their pets!”


“Thanks for looking in on our two cats while we were gone, taking packages inside, and even cleaning their food dishes! Really appreciate it and am sure the cats did too!”


“Ian was AWESOME, I can’t say enough good things. We have two giant (literally) dogs and they can be a lot. Ian came in for a last minute booking, met my dogs and handled everything they threw at him with ease and love! They’ve never looked so happy in pictures when I’ve had sitters watch them in the past. Couldn’t recommend Ian more and will definitely be using him again in the future!!”


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: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the house, and I would usually convince them to get more! I’m always asked to pet sit by family and friends as my love for animals is known by all. Since I’ve moved into my own apartment, I’ve volunteered at the SPCA and have fostered multiple dogs! I always need to have dog interaction in my life, so since I’m not quite ready to adopt, I take care of shelter pups or other people’s dogs when they need the help! I am currently an undergraduate student at University at Buffalo. I have a fairly flexible schedule as all my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me a generous amount of free time during the remaining days of the week. I currently live in an apartment with no dog of my own, however, I grew up in a house that always had a dog. I still consider my mom’s dogs my own, and visit them quite frequently. I’m the type to sit down and spend lots of quality one on one time with a pup. I never get tired of playing and would love to go on long walks around the neighborhood. I am also a sucker for spoiling dogs with treats :)

“Haley was exceptional in caring for our dog! Our dog is overly shy/anxious and Haley was amazing in how she approached getting our dog to trust her. It wasn’t easy, time consuming, and didn’t happen in a day but kept trying until she earned our dog’s trust! She stayed longer than she needed to when our dog was being skittish to ensure she got the necessities during a visit. Haley provided updates for every session including an overview of the session, pictures, videos, and even did some training with our dog! She played with our dog/took her for walks when she noticed our dog needed to burn some energy. She also reached out to us with any questions and asked for our opinion when needed. I will definitely be using Haley to watch our dog in the future!”


“Rachael did an awesome job. Between quick communication and taking great care of my cat Tinkerbell at my home, I would highly recommend her. She answered any and all questions timely and sent pictures every day. Thank you Rachael!”


“Abby is great!! She stopped in to let my eight week old puppy Luna out. She was prompt and very responsive! She was even willing to stay a little longer to make sure Luna was taken care of. I would definitely recommend her!!!!”


“Claudia responded very quickly to all of our questions and took the time for a pre-visit before her first drop-in to make sure that our dog was familiar with her. She also has a very calming manner, which was helpful with our anxious hound. We highly recommend her!”


“Madison took great care of my two cats for the weekend! She followed instructions, communicated well, and the cats liked her. I would definitely book her again in the future!”


“Brianna is just wonderful. She took great care of my two kitties. She is kind, patient and very communicative. I have a very shy kitty and she warmed up to Brianna quickly. I had peace of mind while I was away and completely trust her in my home. Thank you Brianna for taking such good care of my kitties!”


“Jenna was great: communicative, kind, and attentive to our young cats! This was our first time leaving the cats while we traveled out of town, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Jenna responded to our booking request in a timely manner (we placed it very late at night and she responded early in the morning). During our absence, she kept our minds at ease with her drop-in visit pictures and videos. Would book again!”

I can easily create your dog for you if needed.

Jamie M.
“Jamie is one of the kindest and thoughtful caregivers I've met. She loves all animals and it certainly shows in her level of investment to ensure the safety, comfort, and happiness of those under her care. I have seen her engage with dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies with all of the energy in the world to our 19 year old cat who somehow still has a skip in her step. From walks to grooming to providing medication accurately, Jamie is trustworthy and consistently goes the extra mile.”
