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.

About: Dog dad and Pet lover for life! Pet care has been ingrained into my lifestyle since I was a child. Need a vacation or a helping hand? No matter the size or species, I can handle your pet's needs. Most of my weekends are free and I have time in the evenings during the week and I would love nothing more than to fill that time caring for your pet! Let's schedule a meeting! Growing up with numerous animals and as a first-time dog owner, I know sticking to a schedule is imperative for our furry friends. Exercise via walks around the neighborhood and/or playtime, scheduled nourishment, and all the love I can give. Your pet's schedule is my priority!

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: Hi, I’m Amy — your pet’s new favorite auntie! 🐾 Since growing up with big dogs, small dogs, and cats - I have been a lifelong animal lover living vicariously through pet sitting for friends. I’ve always been the one that friends, roommates, and coworkers call when they need someone they can trust with their pets—and now I’m here for you too. Whether your furry family member is a playful pup, a chill cat, or a quirky critter, I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I live an active lifestyle and love long walks, playtime, and cozy cuddle sessions. I’m happy to care for pets with all kinds of personalities—high-energy dogs, shy cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s boarding at my place or house sitting at yours, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I know how much your pet means to you, and I’ll always follow your care routines, send regular updates, and create a stress-free experience for both of you. I currently work from home on Fridays and am available on weekends for daytime or overnight dog sitting in my home (small and medium size dogs) or house sitting/drop in visits/walks for any pets between Friday 1 pm and Sunday 8 pm. Your home or mine, I love to be active or cuddle - whatever your pet’s personality is! My backyard is not fenced in, but does have a nice space for potty breaks. I am close by Delaware park for long walks. I don’t mind if pups use a crate or roam the house - whatever you prefer, but in my home I will ask that your pet is house trained.

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.

I have 4 children : 2 black labs, a Staffordshire mix, and a Russian blue cat. I have experience with walking and caring for both large and small dogs. It makes my day seeing how happy dogs get from a single walk or a belly rub. Dogs are my passion and would love to make their day by giving them endless compassion as they do for us. I am almost always available during the summer. I'm a student athlete at Buffalo state, so my summer weekly routine is very flexible for your pets needs I live in a great neighborhood which is very dog friendly. My street I live on is very peaceful with plenty of dogs and very low traffic. My house has a medium sized unfenced backyard.

“Rose is great! She accommodated a last minute booking for me for a walk with my dog while I was at a doctor's appointment - I got stuck in horrible traffic on my way to meet her due to an accident on the interstate blocking two lanes and she was very understanding and didn't mind waiting for me. I am super grateful to her for being available and flexible when things didn't go to plan. Floyd had a nice walk with her during my appointment and was very happy to meet a new friend. I highly recommend her for her professionalism and willingness to roll with the punches.”


About: My first family dog came into my life when I was 6 years old, and I have loved and lived with dogs ever since. I love all shapes and sizes, and have a special fondness for the big and fluffy types. In addition to caring for my own dogs over the years, I have dog-sit for friends any time I had an opportunity. I can offer walks, backyard playtime, and snuggles on the couch (with mom or dad's permission, of course!) I know many dogs and their families have a certain routine that they don't like to deviate from, and I always do my best to keep your dogs on the schedule they're used to. I get to make my own hours for my day job, so I have lots of flexibility! I'm available mornings, weekends, some evenings, and most holidays. I come to a pet owner's home with the awareness that I am a stranger encroaching on your pet's space, and will treat your home and your fur babies with the upmost respect. I am great at following detailed instructions to a T and will adapt depending on what helps your pets feel the most comfortable.

About: Avid runner/walker with over 15 years of experience caring for cats and dogs from Buffalo to Montreal.

About: Hi! I'm Nicole, I have a lifetime of experience with animals, having been surrounded by them since childhood. Having been raised around dogs, I have developed an innate understanding of their needs, behaviors, and the importance of consistent care. This extensive experience enables me to anticipate and cater to the unique requirements of each animal under my supervision, ensuring their well-being, comfort, and security at all times. My deep-rooted familiarity with canine care equips me with the knowledge and dedication essential for providing responsible and attentive pet sitting services. Besides my affection for dogs, I have developed a deep fondness for cats as well. When a friend had to part ways with her cat, I willingly took her in, without knowing that she was pregnant. Shortly after, the cat gave birth to a litter, and I wholeheartedly committed myself to nurturing them. This firsthand experience, coupled with a genuine affection for cats, equips me with the empathy, attentiveness, and insight vital for ensuring the well-being and contentment of them. I believe I am an ideal candidate for providing professional and reliable cat sitting services, characterized by the same level of care, affection, and understanding that I extend to my own families beloved feline companions. My hands-on experience has equipped me with the insight and capability to understand and meet the unique needs of these animals, making me a dependable and caring pet sitter for both cats and dogs. My experience extends to also raising and working with chickens, and working at a horse stable as a stable hand. I currently work full time Monday-Friday 9AM-3PM, but live only 10 minutes away and have a flexible job which allows me to come home during lunch hours. I am also available in the mornings and evenings outside of work. I am a dependable and trustworthy individual who prioritizes creating a safe and nurturing environment for animals under my care. My early riser routine enables me to attend to the needs of pets promptly, ensuring they are fed and let out at optimal times. Additionally, my flexibility, stemming from my civilian office job and military service, allows me to be readily available to cater to the specific requirements of my clients and their pets. My military experience has instilled in me a strong sense of accountability, responsibility, and appreciation, qualities that transcend into my approach as a pet caregiver, making me a more dependable and responsible person overall.
