“Excellent work! Was great with the dogs especially for the tfirst day and them not knowing her. Very flexible with last minute availability. Again, very good with the puppy up to my senior dog! Will hire again!”
2. Kilie A.
“Kilie was awesome! She showed up on time for every feeding, gave our kitties some love and attention and made sure they were well taken care of. We’ve never left our cats in the care of anyone other than family so we were a little nervous about how it would go, but Kilie was so good that we now feel free to travel as long as we can book her.”
3. Adriana B.
“Adriana came through for our two dogs and cat once again, with two drop-in visits this week. She is consistently reliable and always sends us updates with pet photos from her visits.”
4. Margaret P.
“Margaret is our favorite sitter. She sends us updates, pictures, and takes the best care of our pups, even on quick drop in visits. Truly no one better suited to take care of your furry children!”
5. Rachel L.
About: I have two dog at home back in Buffalo where I am originally from. My friends ask me to help them take care of their dogs whenever they’re on vacation. I am currently on the pre-vet track studying nutrition science & neuroscience at Syracuse University with an intention to apply for vet school for Fall 2028. I have interned at vet clinics and volunteer as a dog walker at local dog shelters. I am currently a full-time student at Syracuse University. I have a 3.5 hour break between my first class and my next class which I have availability to pet sit/dog walk. I am free on Fridays (after 11am) and all day Saturday & Sunday during the school year. Summer hours are more available. I have experience in animal care as I take care of my own pets at home and I have experience at vet clinics which allows me to have a wider knowledge about animals especially dogs.

8. Valeria P.
“Val is absolutely wonderful! She's trustworthy, prompt, and thoughtful. Most importantly, she took fabulous care of my shy and nervous kitty when I was out of town. Val sent me the cutest photos during each visit, and my cat loved Val right away--always a good sign! I'll definitely be asking her to catsit the next time I need help.”
9. Jamie E.

10. Cammie M.

15. Kendra P.
“Kendra did a great job caring for our dog and communicating with us. This allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about our dog. We will definitely book with her again!”
16. Julia T.
“Julia is by far one of the most knowledgeable and caring people who I have ever met when it comes to dogs. She is able to make very meaningful connections with dogs and always does whatever is best for them. When she's not taking care of kids in childcare, she is constantly researching the best brands, toys, treats, leashes, and everything in between to make sure that any dog which she cares for is as happy and comfortable as can be. Julia is so full of kindness and it is easily seen with how she interacts with both owners and dogs alike! She will be someone who your dog will be looking forward to seeing whenever its walk time, and I highly suggest contacting her for any/all dog walking needs! :D”
17. David R.

18. Hannah M.

19. Onya S.
“I have witnessed firsthand Onya's exceptional dedication, compassion, and reliability in caring for pets. Onya has always exhibited a profound love and respect for animals. She has taken care of my pets on numerous occasions. Onya has demonstrated a high level of responsibility and affection towards them. She ensures that the pets are well-fed, exercised, and received plenty of playtime and attention. What sets Onya apart is her attention to detail and understanding each individual pets needs. Additionally, Onya is proactive in communicating and observations or concerns about the pets' health and behavior, which provides great peace of mind to pet owners.
