“Jenn & Brian are really warm, friendly and welcoming. They’re really nice and we felt very comfortable while leaving milo at their place. I informed her about Milo’s neuter and she was really caring and kept sending updates about the stitches as well. I am from Chicago and sad that they’re in NY. If we are in same place I would send milo again and again to them whenever we go on a vacation. Best people ever! Highly Recommended.”

“Kimberly is super kind and chill. She watched my dog even though he had a cone. She kept me posted on how he was doing and was prompt at responding. I'll definitely be using her again!”

“He’s a great person and a huge animal lover! Apollo loves him and loves playing with the other dogs. I highly recommend Jose for all your pet sitting needs, he’s the best!”

About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
“Kevin is great! We did meet and greet before Remy starts daycare. Can't express enough how lucky and thankful of Kevin, provides excellent care. His flexible and accommodating, we get updates how Remy's day went, communicates any concerns, and send photos throughout the day. Peace of mind. Remy is happy to see Kevin and Hoochou (Kevin's dog his Golden Retriver) full of energy, gentle and super friendly. Best combo Remy is older and Hoochou is younger balance. Thank you!”

“We drove from TN to NY for my cousins wedding in Buffalo with our dog so she could meet some family and see my home state. I’m not from Buffalo though so I was so happy to find Mindy to watch our dog Lady during the wedding hours! It’s always nerve wracking leaving your baby with new people but Mindy calmed our nerves with photos and a couple updates and I knew Lady was in great hands. She was also super flexible with us for our pickup and dropoff times changing, which we really appreciated!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. All of my dogs are extremely spolied. I have extensive experience with all breeds and temperments. I have worked professionally with dogs in small and large (over 100 dogs) settings. I also have a canine behavior degree. I have hands on experience as well as a cerification for grooming. All kinds of dogs are welcome in my home, any size and any age. I have many repeat clients that I have been petsitting for years! My dogs and I spend hours everyday doing physical and mental stimulation, I would love to have yours join us. I am very flexible and can help you in any way you need; from walking and playing with your dog, to being their comfort when you need to travel or work. I can help with whatever your needs may be. Contact me if you are interested in what I can do! Thank you! ** Bathing pricing will depend on the size and coat condition of the dog** I do my best to keep them to the schedule they are used to with feeding times, rules, etc. We play in the yard for hours every day, in summertime the pool is out as well! I only accept evening drop off/ pick ups typically after 730. If you need accommodations to this please ask in advance. I do have a full time job but someone is home with the dogs most of the time. If we all need to leave for some reason, the dogs are separated accordingly. I have a fully fenced in yard. For walks I ensure all harnesses or collars are tight enough so they can not slip out. I take care of every dog as they are my own. I also provide updates and pictures of their vacation while you are on yours!

“From the very beginning, communication was clear and friendly, and I felt confident leaving my pet in Matthew and Brett’s care. During my dog stay, I received regular updates with photos, which gave me peace of mind and showed that my dog was happy and well looked after. It was clear that they genuinely cared about my furry baby, treating him with the same love and attention they would give their own. I would highly recommend Matthew and Brett to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for their pets.”
“Julia was so sweet and helped Finney feel right at home. She was attentive to all his needs and even sent me pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. I’m so happy she could help me out!”

“Valerie is an amazing sitter! I was travelling through the region and needed a pet sitter at the last minute. Valerie was very accommodating and my dog Maya had an amazing day. Valerie kept me in the loop on how Maya was doing frequently throughout the day and provided many pics. Maya loved it there. My pooch was treated like a queen! Thanks so much Valerie. Highly recommended ?”

“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”

“My fur girl really enjoys her time with Melissa — Melissa is in tune with her needs and can read her cues well. I’d recommend Melissa to anyone who has a fur baby who needs extra TLC!”

Ariel was absolutely wonderful with my 4.5-year-old lab over the weekend! She was attentive, caring, and made sure my pup felt right at home. I got regular updates, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My lab came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s clear Ariel truly cares about the dogs she looks after. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving care for their pets !

Mindy provided day care for my aunt's dog, Sassy, while we visited Niagara Falls from Arkansas. Sassy had never been under someone else's care and my aunt was nervous about leaving her with a "stranger". But Mindy was wonderful and allowed us to come for a 'meet and greet' when we arrived in town the day before our booking. My aunt was still nervous about leaving her the next day because Sassy, being a Maltipoo, has separation anxiety. But Mindy knew taking Sassy for a walk right after we left would be a good distraction. She was also wonderful about sending pictures and videos especially that first day and that made us feel better about leaving her. By the second day Sassy was comfortable going straight to Mindy when we arrived. Also, she was very flexible regarding drop off and pick up times.

Very close to Buffalo hospitals. I had a procedure done and Mitchell and his pup, Leopold provided excellent accommodations for my pup, Finnegan. He was excellent at communicating and sending pictures. Finnegan seemed happy and well taken care of. Thank you Mitchell, you put my mind at ease.

Lindsay was awesome! Super helpful with my last minute need for care for Millie and Thor.
