“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”


“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!”


“Thanks for coming early! Also, for watching Ana. She’s is getting older.”


“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!”


“Nafisa was wonderful all week long! She showed up on time or early every day. She was kind enough to give me a heads up before she arrived everyday to give me time to make it to the door and have my dog ready. They bonded immediately and my neighbors noticed how well she manages his large size and energy.”


“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: 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.

“Haley was wonderful. Major enjoyed his time with her.”


“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!”


“So personable, professional, and so thankful she was able to walk our dog on short notice. Highly recommend and will be using again!!”


“Darrean was professional and prompt! Also I asked her last second for an hour walk and she was available so if you’re in a pinch then she is your go to. I needed someone to tire my dog out while I worked a 12 hour shift. Thanks!!!”


“Lana was amazing with my dog Nala! Nala took to her right away. Lana is prompt when answering texts and great at communicating. She always takes lots of pictures and leaves a report card. Thank you for taking great care of Nala!”


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: Experienced pet sitter providing loving, reliable care for dogs of all breeds. I’m passionate about making sure pets feel happy, healthy, and safe while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own and follow their routine to ensure their comfort and well-being. Available for pet sitting most days with flexible hours. Busy Tuesdays and Thursdays but open for evenings and other days. Happy to help your pets! I care for pets in their own home, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their daily routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they need. I prioritize their well-being, providing companionship, maintaining a clean environment, and following owner instructions closely. Trust, safety, and comfort are always my top priorities.

“We couldn't say enough good things about Jaidyn! She was incredibly kind and patient with our nervous dog. This was our first time successfully having someone who isn't family come watch our dog (who definitely has stranger danger to say the least). Jaidyn worked with her each day to create a bond and made such good progress with her throughout the week! She was so communicative and shared helpful feedback/asked good questions to make sure she could take the best care of Rory possible! We will definitely be asking her to watch Rory again in the future!”


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.

“Emma loves the dogs and my Beauty is no different. You want to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby in the hands of another and I felt just that. Thanks Emma!”


About: ** PLEASE READ FULL BIO BEFORE BOOKING*** I’ve worked at a cat shelter on and off for numerous years as a teen. Currently, I dog walk for the shelter as often as I can as part of their program. Ive also bottle fed rescue kittens and have much experience with baby animals, including wildlife! I am familiar with many species of animals and very passionate about their care. I’ve had rats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, cats, dogs and fish … just to name a few! **PLEASE READ** I do have 3 pet rabbits that a partially free roam. They are all in safe spaces & can be enclosured. They DO get along with other animals. I am available weekends, Saturday and Sunday, all day and weekdays Monday - Friday after 5pm! I do have a full time job but plenty of spare time for your pets care! I do have a fenced in yard but would love to actually walk your fur baby instead! I have beautiful parks near by with plenty of room to play!

“Nicole has been fantastic to work with! She has taken Oliver on several walks and is always on time and gives us great notes and photos. And Oliver loves her, which is the most important part!”


About: I love spending time with dogs! Whether it’s a playful stroll with a high-energy puppy, a gentle walk with a senior dog, or anywhere in between, I always adjust my pace and approach to match their energy and needs. Keeping dogs happy, safe, and engaged during our time together is my top priority. I currently am in graduate school and doing part time research and class at home during the summer, so my schedule is pretty flexible! :) I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort by closely following your care instructions. I create a calm, reliable environment where your pet feels secure and loved.

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.”


Beste A.
“I have known Beste for 5 years and I am delighted to share my positive experience with Beste as a dog sitter. She has been an absolute lifesaver for my dog and me on multiple occasions. The first time I left my dog with Beste, I was immediately impressed by how attentive and caring she was. She spent quality time with my dog, making sure he was comfortable and engaged while I was away. My dog, usually quite anxious, was calm and happy when I returned, which reassured me that Beste truly understands the needs of pets. On another occasion, Beste went above and beyond when my dog had a minor health issue while I was traveling. She kept me updated with regular messages and even took him to the vet to ensure everything was alright. I couldn’t have asked for a more responsible and compassionate dog sitter. I trust Beste completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pets!”

“Nicole has been walking and watching my dog for the last five years. She is an excellent caretaker. Her enthusiasm for going on long and unique walks always keeps my dog entertained. During these walks she attends to the needs of my dog who can be very skittish in new situations or if there are loud noises. She ensures my dog is safe and happy. In addition to walking my dog, Nicole has hosted her while I have been traveling. Nicole has created a welcoming and safe environment that my dog feels at home with. Nicole follows care taking instructions and provides updates while dog sitting. I would highly recommend Nicole to help care for your dog!”
