Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Starin Central, Buffalo, NY

“Andrea is absolutely wonderful with our special needs boy! Petey only has 3 legs and although he has a ton of energy he cannot do as much as he would like due to injury in his remaining back leg. Andrea is very flexible and accommodating to Petey and ensures that he never overdoes it! She is always looking for ways to tire him out though enrichment activities which do not require Petey exerting too much physical effort! Andrea is great with our other dog as well, ensuring that he gets lot of attention and physical play. She can juggle both without any issues. I've highly recommended Andrea to friends and neighbors!”

“Carolyn is amazing! She watched our cat while we were away on vacation. She administered medication every day and made sure to send us fun pics of our cat! She is hands down the best cat sitter on here!”

“Jessica is the best! She's super trustworthy and kind. My senior cat, Watson, fell in love with her. Jessica wrote great reports about her visit each time she came & she took excellent care of him & kept me posted with photos. When I returned home from my trip, Watson was relaxed and content which made me so relieved. I recommend Jessica!”

“I couldn’t be happier with the dog-sitting service Kate provides! She was punctual, communicated regularly with updates, and followed every instruction perfectly. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such capable hands. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for reliable and professional care!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog owner with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. For the past 9 years, I’ve been volunteering with the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter, where I walk dogs, foster, provide enrichment, and attend events to help them find them homes. I’ve also volunteered with cats at an offsite adoption location and had 2 of my own cats, so my experience spans both canine and feline care. I’ve walked and handled dogs of all sizes, energy levels, ages, and temperaments, including shy, nervous, or reactive pups who may need a little extra time to warm up. I fully understand that not every dog is ready to trust a new person right away, and I’m more than happy to do meet-and-greets to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or just needs a potty break, you can count on me to treat them just like I treat my own dog. Please don’t hesitate to reach out - I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I currently have a flexible schedule and am available 7 days a week. Timing is flexible for me as well with a few days of advance notice. I am happy to speak to you ahead of time with any instructions and how you'd like me to care for your pet(s) in your home.

“First time using the app and overall very impressed with how it all works and also with my sitter Brianna. She did such a great job and I would highly recommend. It was nice to get photo updates also. 10/10 recommend”

“Madeline is our go to pet sitter!! Our cat can sometimes be easily spooked, and Madeline is so caring and gentle with her-allowing our cat to warm up to her in her own time :) Madeline is thorough, reliable, and kind!”

“Jenna was great: communicative, kind, and attentive to our young cats! This was our first time leaving the cats while we traveled out of town, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Jenna responded to our booking request in a timely manner (we placed it very late at night and she responded early in the morning). During our absence, she kept our minds at ease with her drop-in visit pictures and videos. Would book again!”

“Mary watched our dog while we were out of the country. She provided regular detailed updates and multiple pictures and videos. We felt at ease knowing how much fun he was having and knowing he was in great hands!”

About: I am a huge animal lover! I have had several cats and dogs in my lifetime and I thoroughly enjoy playing with and caring for my friends' and neighbors' pets. I am dependable and energetic and willing to assist with drop-in visits, hosting your pet in my home, or taking your dog for short or long walks whenever you need. I currently work from home, and I can make time to go for morning, lunchtime, or evening walks in the Buffalo, Amherst, and Kenmore areas. I have a fenced in yard and work from home, so I am home during the week. I also have a teenage son who loves to play with cats and dogs too.

“Claudia was amazing! She looked after our cat Poppy while we were gone and was even so gracious to bring in a couple packages while we were away. So thankful to have found her! Will definitely be booking her any time I need Poppy looked after :)”

“Haley was exceptional in caring for our dog! Our dog is overly shy/anxious and Haley was amazing in how she approached getting our dog to trust her. It wasn’t easy, time consuming, and didn’t happen in a day but kept trying until she earned our dog’s trust! She stayed longer than she needed to when our dog was being skittish to ensure she got the necessities during a visit. Haley provided updates for every session including an overview of the session, pictures, videos, and even did some training with our dog! She played with our dog/took her for walks when she noticed our dog needed to burn some energy. She also reached out to us with any questions and asked for our opinion when needed. I will definitely be using Haley to watch our dog in the future!”

About: I've taken care of a variety of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with dogs, rodents, and reptiles, and spent many years working at a barn. I've had several dogs throughout my life, and used to pet-sit for neighbors and family. I had two sweet senior dogs that passed away over the last two years, so I have a lot of experience with older dogs, but I've also been missing having dogs around the house, so I'd be thrilled to watch yours! I work from home, so I have lots of time to take care of your dog! I'll be able to make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. I also love to stay active, so I will be happy to take your dog on long walks around the neighborhood. I can take them on runs with me too if that's something they are used to doing. I live in an area that's perfect for dog-walking. My apartment is small, so it may not be the best fit for large or super high-energy dogs, but it’s pretty quiet throughout the day, and in the warmer weather I can take your dog to sit on the balcony with me and get some fresh air and people-watch. Please note that although I allow pets on my couch, I do not allow pets into my bedroom. So you may want to provide a bed or blanket for your dog to sleep on at night:)
