“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Jessica to walk my pit bull, Roxanne, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jessica is incredibly professional, punctual, and has a natural affinity with dogs. Roxanne, who can be quite energetic and strong-willed, took to Jessica immediately”
“I can’t say enough great things about Nafisa! I was in a pinch and needed someone to walk my dog last minute, and she showed up without hesitation. Not only was she prompt and professional, but she was incredibly kind and patient with my dog. He came back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable and caring hands. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and compassionate on short notice. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a trustworthy dog walker!”
“The proof of Jackie’s expertise is with the pups. They adored her. She is obviously a dog person. We’ll be booking her again as a sitter. I know that bean and sprout will have a wonderful time with her. Thanks Jackie!”
“Elisabeth has incredible energy, provides great communication and was flexible during an unexpected work trip that pulled me out of town for 20 hours. I highly recommend them!”
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I am currently working a job during the afternoon on the weekdays and the weekends but I will still be available to play with your pups on the weekdays some mornings :) I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.
“ElizaE was excellent! My dog has always tended to bark intensely at people she doesn’t know and then hide if the person doesn’t leave. ElizaE took the time to help our dog Jenna get to know her and trust her. She took her on familiar routes for her walks and let her spend some time in one of her favorite places- our back yard. It was very reassuring to get the messages and pictures and know that Jenna was having a good experience while we were gone. I highly recommend ElizaE.”

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.
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 cared for pets since age 10. I am a stay at home dog mom ready to care for all your pets wants and needs! Stay at home pet mom who loves to care for animals. Available anytime and always willing to travel if it’s needed. Always reliable to work Any animal in my care will be treated like my own animals. They will be loved, kept on routine and given anything they will need

Before this, I have dog and cat sat for many animals since I was 12 years old. I currently work full time, but I have plenty of flexibility and free weekends. I am able to give potty breaks every 4 hours since I can make my own lunch schedule and tend to any needs during that time, and the others and more quality time before and after work. I currently live in an apartment on the 3rd floor with 2 cats, so care would have to take place in the clients home for the comfort of your and my animals. I do live at a very pet friendly community with lots space to walk your dog there if they would like a new outdoor environment to explore.
About: I grew up with Dogs, and had a highly reactive dog with separation anxiety for 5 years who recently passed away. Prior to having my big sweet old guy, I dog sat frequently.

I work for myself so I have an extremely flexible schedule and can be with your pup as needed. I’m rarely gone for more then 3 hours at a time during the day. I have a fenced in yard and a long lead. I also live near a large park and close to the outer harbor which both make great walking spots.
