Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Riverside Park, Buffalo, NY

“A real life saver! We were having problems feeding our squirrely cat her oral meds and Andrea came through with feeding her without issues and lowering both our and my cat's stress level!”

“Jake took AWESOME care of our boy while my family was out the country for 5 days. When our boy was barely eating because he missed us he went out of his way to go to the store and grab wet food to mix his food so he’ll eat. He always sent us pictures and even let us video call. We will definitely be booking with Jake again! Thank you so much again!!!!!”

“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!”

About: I did not have any dogs growing up- my parents were allergic, but I have always loved dogs, and I knew I wanted one when I was able to live on my own. I have been around dogs my whole life, and I have cared for my friends dogs when they needed sitters. I am currently a dog dad to my four year old Australian Cattle dog, and if there's one thing I can tell you about him is that he has taught me everything I need to know to train, house, and communicate with dogs of all breeds. Your dog will be treated with the upmost respect while in my care and will enjoy their stay with me and Yoki. I currently work full-time as a middle school social worker. I am at work Monday-Friday from the hours of 7-3:30. I am completely off during the weekend. I'm usually home, and if I leave my home, I come home every couple hours to attend to my dog. I treat all animals as if they are my own, giving them the same love, attention, and respect I would offer a pet of my own. I naturally gravitate toward animals, and they seem to be drawn to me as well. I believe in building trust through patience, gentle care, and understanding each animal’s unique needs and personality. Whether it's providing food, comfort, exercise, or companionship, I am committed to making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved.

“Carolyn is amazing! She watched our cat while we were away on vacation. She administered medication every day and made sure to send us fun pics of our cat! She is hands down the best cat sitter on here!”

“Madison was a fantastic sitter for our cat Cato! She met with us in person prior to us going away and was super friendly and considerate. She took great care of Cato while we were away and sent us fantastic fun pictures as updates on him for each of her check ins. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter especially if you have a cat ?”

Mariami B.

“Juliana accommodated our cat’s needs, staying for extended visits to make sure our cat could get attention if she wanted while we were out. We were also able to contact her slightly before the original scheduled time to check on something in our house we didn’t want the cat to get into.”

“Emma was fabulous in taking care of my boys! She was even able to get my stubborn kitty to take more of his meds than I could, no small feat. She was great about providing updates and following complex care instructions.”

About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.

About: I’ve had pets growing up my entire life! The level of personal care I give every animal sets me apart. I don’t just feed and walk your pets — I take time to understand their routines, personalities, and quirks so they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I tailor my care to match what each pet needs most. I treat every furry friend like my own, keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands. I currently work part time as a teachers assistant and home pretty much everyday. I’m off on the weekends. So I have plenty of time and energy to play with your pet! When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. My home is safe, welcoming, and full of love, and each pet gets the individual attention they deserve. We make sure every animal feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. • Family Time & Play: Your pet enjoys playtime, cuddles, and fun activities with all of us. • Feeding & Health: I follow your pet’s routine, including meals and medications, to keep them healthy and comfortable. • Exercise & Adventure: Dogs enjoy walks, yard play, and indoor games, while cats and smaller pets get enriching activities tailored just for them. • Comfort & Safety: Your pet will have cozy spaces to rest and feel secure with our family. I have a huge backyard for play and plenty of room inside our home. . Pet Care At Clients Home: When I take care of pets in your home, my goal is to provide love, attention, and consistency while respecting your pet’s routine. I treat your home and pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. • Updates for You: We love sending photos and messages so you can see your pet thriving while you’re away. My goal is to make sure every pet in my home feels loved, safe, and happy—just like they would with their own family.

“Great service, prompt responses!”

About: I have professional dog care experience from working at Hounds Town, where I managed dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels in safe group and individual settings. I’m also Dog Management Level 2 certified, with training in dog behavior, handling, and safety. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m used to planning my schedule around dogs’ needs like walks, feeding, playtime, and consistent attention from my experience at Hounds Town. I also have a rescue dog of my own who requires extra patience and understanding, so I’m very comfortable caring for shy, anxious, or nervous dogs who may require more time to become comfortable. Providing calm, attentive, and reliable care is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and quality time with play or affection based on their personality. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. During walks, I prioritize safety with secure leash handling and awareness of our surroundings. I adjust each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. Whether that’s an active walk or a relaxed stroll with time to sniff. I also send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands.

“Our kitty was well cared for, and although she's a shy cat, she seemed to really warm up to Julianne over the course of the week that we were gone.”

About: I’m 29 years old I have cared for animals my whole life. I know how to train your fur baby if needed. They will go on walks often. I’m currently a stay at home mom. So I’m almost always home unless I’m running to the store quick. Other than that I’m always home. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs and 1 cat at home to keep your fur baby company. I can easily create your dog for you if needed.

“I have used rover a few times with different sitters and while they have been great, Jenna was exceptional! Great communication and sent so many pictures and videos of not only the cats, but also updates on the tasks she was doing (refilling water bowls/cleaning litter). At no point was I worried that she was not genuinely invested in my cats' care (and even our shyer girl seemed to warm up to her very quick). I would 100% recommend working with her.”

About: Full-time medical student, eager to get my (and your pup's) steps in! I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have 1 at home, so I have some experience caring for pups, to say the least. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Would love to give your pup all the love and attention it deserves, whether it be for a simple walk or an adventure to the park! I will make sure you're dog feels at ease and safe when with me, because that's how I'd want my own dogs to feel. If they have any dietary or health restrictions I'll be sure to pay extra attention to them while spending time with them. I love photography as well so I'll be sure to send pictures of your little model on our walks. I'm currently a full time medical student so my schedule revolves around what organ block i’m learning about but would be more than happy to find a time that works best for you, your pet, and me. During weekdays I am mostly available after 3:30 pm, but weekends are much more flexible! I would make sure your dog felt safe and was having fun while in my care. When caring for pets, I want to make sure all their needs are met and I am treating them as if they were my own pet. I love to go on walks to grassy and green areas so your dog will definitely be seeing some park action when with me.

“Would I book Haley again? I already have! Haley is fantastic, she went above and beyond my expectations! Haley took AMAZING care of our three senior dogs, who have special needs. One of my dogs needs to have his bladder expressed due to a spinal injury, Haley went out of her way to learn how to express his bladder and ensure his comfort. Haley gave the dogs ample outdoor time, shared photos and detailed report cards throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. You can tell when your dogs had their basic needs met vs. when they also had enrichment (play time, cuddles, etc.), my dogs clearly had enrichment with Haley taking care of them. The dogs were happy and content when we returned home, they hardly missed us! Cannot recommend Haley highly enough.”
