Personalized care for your dog or cat - Howard Park
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Howard Park
“Erika was amazing. Usually when I drop Bear off at a sitter he’s very upset when I leave him but her energy was so warm to him he went to her willingly and didn’t even notice when I left. She sent me pics showing him having a blast and when I picked him up he seemed happy and exhausted. Thanks Erica!”
“Our dog Maizey had a great time with Felice, Ken et. al. Especially appreciate their flexibility in keeping Maizey an extra day due to the unexpected lengthening of my husband's hospital stay. Very friendly and caring folks!”
“Shipra took good care of our dog. She walked and played with him. Her dog Trevor is very nice and well behaved. My dog is tiny but got along really well with him. I would love to keep my dog with her again!”
“I LOVE how thorough, intentional, and caring Shakiyla is with all the pups that stay with her. She works hard to meet each pup's needs, is very responsive, and sends daily pupdates. I'm so glad we found her to take care of our Zoe - and as a dog trainer myself, I don't trust just anyone with my pup.”
“Nikki was great! She was flexible and seemed to understand what our reserved, sometimes anxious girl needed to feel comfortable. We appreciated knowing she was in good hands.”
“Great sitters for my pup. They provided photos and updates while I was away. My dog seemed really happy, calm in his photos so I knew he was in good hands! Virginia & Steve were very accommodating of my travel plans, I would rebook & recommend them.”
“Brittanie and Ryan were wonderful sitters for our dog this weekend! She seemed to have gotten very comfortable in their home pretty quickly and had no issue coexisting with their dogs at all. They sent frequent update pictures and really went above and beyond bringing our dog to our wedding so she could be included in our pictures. Overall great first Rover experience and would happily use them again!”
“Casey and Marwa are the BEST! They spoiled our large dog Indiana to no end with multiple long walks every day, playtime, cuddles, and even grooming. There was plenty of space to roam freely in the house. They posted many pictures and videos every day. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly! Indy came home well fed, nicely groomed, happy, and relaxed.”
“Just picked up my pups from staying with Alex for the weekend. They had a great weekend playing with Reese. Alex sent us pics of them and they were so relaxed and happy. They look forward to staying again!!!”
“Kassandra and her little guy took amazing care of my fur baby, Jax. From the photos, I could tell he was super comfortable and happy with them. She kept me updated every day with pictures and little check-ins about how he was doing, which I really appreciated. I truly can’t thank her enough! If you’re thinking about booking or even just browsing, DO IT. You won’t regret it!”
“Rodney and Marissa loved on and took care of my big baby. They are very patient and first class when it came to handling Eros, who is a handful! I highly recommend them and will continue to work with them in the future.”
“I felt comfortable leaving my pup with Nicolas. His home a was clean and spacious, and his neighborhood was suitable for dog walking. Would definitely recommend and request to board with him again.”
“Lingli was so kind and attentive to our dog. She sent frequent updates and pictures that made us at ease being away from our fur baby. We will definitely be booking with her again next time we go out of town :)”
“I went on vacation for six days and left UNO in Robin's capable hands and care. Robin sent videos and updates on UNO. He had a good time with the other dogs. I will definitely be using Robin again to take care of UNO. Robin will shower your dog with the same love and care that she gives her own dog. When I saw and read Robin's profile I knew she was the person to leave UNO with. Thanks again Robin for your patience and tlc for UNO.”
“Shannon not just took good care of our little old man-dog, but seemed to really enjoy him, too! And she took the best photos we have of him. A delight to communicate with, and what a relief to find someone we trust to look after our dog!”
“I am extremely pleased with the care provided. She was an excellent caregiver, very attentive to my pet and treated her with the same love and kindness I would. I will definitely choose her services again. Her customer service and dedication were outstanding.”

About: I've taken care of a dog in various formats since I was 14 years old. Currently I have three dogs that I have rescued and raised from various experiences where without me, they would have ended up worse off. I have extensive knowledge in pet care, wellbeing and injuries to keep a dog safe, happy and in a loving home. I've made it a point to understand dog nonverbal communication so that I can identify issues as they arise and keep my and your pets safe. My wife and I work opposite schedules most of the week meaning someone is home most of the day. I am an early riser often starting my day at 5am where I handle pet care until I leave for work around 7:30am. My wife takes over care until I return from work at 5pm and this is how our schedule runs Tuesday through Thursday. Monday and Friday we work the same shift so our pups will be unsupervised from 10am-5pm but are left in safe environments with plenty of mental stimulation and given potty breaks at 10am and extended breaks at 5pm when I arrive home. I am home all day on the weekends to take care of pet needs. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs are free to play in all day with my other pups who are very friendly to other dogs. We have dog crates already set up in the home that are used on as needed basis and lots of mental stimulation toys like kongs, puzzles and treat dispensing toys. For my dogs they eat twice a day in the morning and night and are allowed unlimited (supervised through security cameras and frequent checks) backyard time, where there is water and a dog house to cool off. The dogs get walked on a rotating schedule throughout the week. In others homes I am sure to follow the schedule of the owner and ensure the wellbeing of your pet.
“I appreciated Keira's cheery disposition and professionalism. She was quite knowledgeable about animals in general because of her regular profession and that helped put me at ease. I would book with her again.”
About: I provide reliable, compassionate pet care for busy pet owners who want peace of mind while they're at work, traveling, or away from home. My services include dog walking, cat visits, feeding, fresh water replenishment, litter box cleaning, and general pet care. I understand that pets are family, which is why I focus on giving each animal the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. During visits, I don't just stop by to feed your pet—I also spend quality time with them, providing playtime, affection, and companionship to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether you need regular dog walks, daily cat check-ins, or someone to keep your pets company during a trip, you can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. My goal is to ensure your pets stay happy, healthy, and stress-free until you're back home. I have owned cats for many years. Since I generally work from home, my cat receives all of the attention he needs! I love dogs as well, although I do not currently own one. I show immense care for your pet as I know that your pet is a part of your family. I will always treat your pet as part of my family too!
“Sierra was an amazing sitter for our two cats! She was so good with them and we loved the pictures of the cats having fun with her while we were away. Sierra's communication was great and we would love to book with her again in future.”
“Susan is our go to. She’s basically our pets’ god mother 🤣. Not only is she a phenomenal pet sitter with cute pics and updates.. But her knowledge of animal behavior is impeccable. 100/10 recommend her to pet sit as well as training sessions. She’s been with us since we first brought our puppy home and has made such a positive impact on her behavior. I always tell my friends/family about her!❤️”
About: I’ve had multiple cats since I was young. This taught me from a young age how to care for a cat, learn its behaviors, and be a good owner. I’ve cat sit different breeds of cats and have done drop in and overnight care. I love these fur babies so much!
“Samantha was a great repeat walker for us! AlaHs responsive, and she followed my pedantic neighborhood dog rules to a T (again lol I'm so sorry but great work), avoiding the houses she had to avoid, etc. I would trust her again!”
“We had a great experience with Reniko as our cat sitter! He took excellent care of our three cats while we were away and gave us peace of mind throughout the visit. Communication was timely and appropriate, with regular updates and photos that let us know everyone was doing well. Our cats seemed happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. He even got our shy one to say hello (an impressive feat)! We would happily book with him again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.”
“Bito took great care of our cats over a long weekend and sent lots of updates and photos during each visit, which we really appreciated. They spent extra time with our cats and were very communicative throughout the stay. We also came home to a very tidy house, which was thoughtful of them. Our cats seemed relaxed and well cared for when we returned.”
About: I’ve cared for cats belonging to friends, family members, and clients throughout my life, and I’ve always enjoyed spending time with felines. While I haven’t personally owned a cat, I’ve gained experience interacting with cats of different ages, personalities, and comfort levels. I understand that every cat is unique—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm, respectful approach. My goal is to make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“We enjoyed working with Erika. She sent pictures back and forth, and kept an eye on Georgie’s activity level. My cat Georgie and I are both nervous Nellie’s, so we appreciated Erika’s attentiveness. Also, I had to pick up Georgie earlier than planned (which translated into very late at night), and Erika was willing to free up her schedule so that I could do that. I really appreciated that, too.”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous. Aaron defiantly dismissed that feeling! He took exceptional care of Rita, sent updates, and cute pictures of her! Aaron is defiantly my top sitter for future needs!!!”
“Cashadena loves Victoria and is always eager to see her! Great yard space for the pups and very helpful, non judgmental support during a really difficult time for us.”
“My pup, Yumi, had a great time with Melanie and her pup. It was our first time doing a daycare service with Yumi but Melanie was very attentive and sweet to my Yumi. She was also very accommodating when my schedule had to change a bit as well and i greatly appreciate that. I felt comfortable and safe leaving Mr fur baby in her hands and would definitely book again in the future.”
“Robyn was great! She was dependable, reliable, and easy to work with. We did have a slight scheduling conflict on one occasion, but sometimes life can get in the way and that is understandable. Best wishes and many successes to you, Robyn!”
“I was happy to have someone that loves dogs and treated my baby like it was her own. I appreciated the pics and the great care Davida provided. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs their dog taken care of in a nice and safe home. Thank you so much.”

“Brittanie and Ryan are amazing and caring couple. They have a lovely family and 2 beautiful dogs. We were made to feel very welcome in their house and they did everything they could to give Zoe a comfortable stay at their house. They are very responsive and communicate well. Zoe comes home happy after each stay at their house. We recommend them highly....”
“My 6lb maltipoo Sophie LOVED puppy day care with Kelly. I recently moved and was nervous about finding the right care for Sophie. I initially booked one day with Kelly and immediately after the first day, booked the rest of the week! The communication throughout the days was fantastic and Sophie was so excited to return each day. It was very clear that Kelly is attentive to Sophie the entire day…. Walks, snacks, rest, playtime. Totally recommend Kelly! I will be a regular.”
“Ken & Felice were absolutely a breath of fresh air. They clearly love dogs and are excellent hosts. I could tell from their photos, and Charlie’s demeanor at pick up time that he was well cared for and in loving, capable hands. Looking forward to his return and many new furry friendships!”
“Frosty clearly enjoyed spending time with Shannon. He was so tired after playing with the other dogs that he fell asleep right away. Thank you, Shannon!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats my entire life and cannot remember a time I didn't love them all. My cat is no longer with me but I still have dogs and would love to care for your pets as I currently do my own. I can handle big dogs and little dogs as well as am willing to clean out your cats litterboxes. I'm happy to tussle with big dogs and take naps with lap dogs anytime! I'm a college student looking for work over the breaks and any pet time over the semester as I'll be away from my own. I'm happy to work around my class schedule to be with your pets as much as possible. I have a mostly fenced yard with the only opening being the driveway but intend to do walks and keep pets leashed just for safety. My own home has two dogs that are great with other dogs, both of them being on the smaller side and great with people as well. When I'm up at school there will be no other pets up there and the space will be fully for your pets. I'm also able to do house sitting, walks, and drop-ins for your pets to make sure your pets are getting love and attention when you're away.

I have grown up around cats and dogs all my life so I understand the importance of keeping your pet safe.
“Sophie did an amazing job with my dogs per usual and I know they gave her more trouble than they would give me. I'm forever grateful for her and trust her to care for my dogs 🐕”
About: I’ve been caring for my dogs for about 9 years now, and they truly are my babies!! I currently have a Siberian Husky and a German Shepherd, and we recently added a Golden Retriever puppy to the family!! So my puppy skills are definitely fresh right now 😊 I’m very used to high energy dogs, lots of playtime, long walks, mental enrichment, cuddle sessions, and making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether your dog is super playful, shy, or just wants extra TLC, I’ll always treat them like one of my own. I recently graduated from UB with my bachelor's degree and am currently in the process of applying for jobs! That means I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the week, so I’m typically available whenever you need care. I’m happy to work around your schedule and make things as easy as possible for both you and your pup. Your pup's safety and comfort are always my number one priority. I make sure to follow your instructions exactly, whether that’s feeding routines, walks, meds, or small things that help your dog feel at ease. I’m very mindful during walks and outdoor time, always keeping dogs securely leashed and being 100% aware of our surroundings. When I’m in your home, I respect it like it’s my own space. I keep everything clean, double check doors and gates, and make sure your pup is safe and settled before I ever step out.
“Corey sent several photos and a video for the drop in visit & walk. The dogs looked like they were having a great time. One of my dogs is high energy and reactive and Corey was comfortable handling her. Thank you Corey !”
“Milo can be a bit tempermental and a little over protective, Cashae's calm and serene aura has attributed to Milo being able to trust her and like his walks with her. I have tried other walkers in the past but they never worked out. Hooray for Cashae!!! She is also very polite and very punctual. I feel so blessed to have her.”
About: I specialize in caring for large breeds, leveraging years of experience raising and training Rottweilers.

Each day includes morning walks, feeding, supervised play, and crate rotations for safety, along with plenty of affection and downtime. I make safety, trust, and comfort the focus of every stay. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, spacious environment with constant supervision, plenty of enrichment, and clean, cozy areas for rest and play. Whether calm and quiet or high energy and active, your pet will be safe and secure with me!

I would highly recommend having Ruth watch your pet.”
