We're definitely going to book again for other trips”

Ian was truly a wonderful caretaker, providing Shayla with family fun that is as far from the typical kennel boarding experience as one can get. Thank you, Ian!”

“Spencer took great care of my two kittens during his drop-in visits and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. He was reliable, attentive, and clearly very comfortable with cats. He even scooped the litter box twice because one of my kittens likes to use it right after it’s cleaned. I would definitely trust Spencer to watch my cats again and highly recommend him.”
“Kevin kept an eye on my cats while I went away for Christmas. He was awesome! He was attentive to the cats when he came over, cleaned the litter boxes and gave them cat food. He even took the time to warm up and play with them for a while when he came over. I’ll definitely be using Kevin again anytime I need a drop in visit!”

“Ayah was a blessing!! This was our first time needing a cat sitter and I was a little nervous. Mr. Winston can be a little shy and usually hides when new people come over. But Ayah was able to get him out of hiding and he actually started to greet her when she would come over. She treated him so good while we were gone and I didn't worry at all. Ayah sent very thorough and thoughtful reports with pictures after each visit. I am very satisfied with the level of care she gave Mr. Winston and he seemed to enjoy their visits as well. I will definitely request Ayah again in the future.”
“Hannah was patient and overall wonderful with my two kitties. I hope that anytime we are away in the future, that she will be available. We couldn’t be happier with her! She obviously has a way with meeting special needs pets and I came home to two healthy happy cats.”
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From our first message, she was professional and easy to communicate with—always providing updates and photos so I knew my dog was happy and safe. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for pup and a tidy house. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I would 100% recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: I’ve met more cats than I care to count and there’s no companion quite like them. I was a part of caring for the cat in my profile picture, he was older than all of my siblings and was very much family to me for most of my life. He and others such as my current cat, coco, have shown me what it means to care for another living being. I’m confident I can care for most any cats and would love to do so.
“Very attentive! She did a great job with our kitty and made an effort to play every day (even when she didn't want to bc she's a cat, of course). She left us pictures every day, which we really liked, too! Will hire again for any future needs we have, and I would recommend her to any family or friend!”

“Danielle was awesome! We left our 4 month old GSD with her for the better part of a day. Our pup seemed to be sad to leave her new friends behind when we picked her up. Danielle’s communication and scheduling flexibility is appreciated. We would definitely use her again if in the Buffalo area.”
“Gigi was great with Marshall! Their home is very welcoming and prepared to keep the dogs happy and safe. Great back yard too! Marshall enjoyed playing with their two King Charles’”
About: I started walking my next door neighbor’s Boston Terrier when I was around 10. She knew I was an animal lover, and even let me experiment with some training with her pup. This led to me getting into agility training and just general dog training, which I have started to pick back up again. I am known as the family dog sitter, as my family has a combination of Pit Bulls, Bernedoodles, and hunting breeds, so I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and stubbornness! Aside from dogs, I grew up volunteering at shelters where I adopted my own cat when I was 15, and eventually even landed a job as a zookeeper! As far as my own pets go, I currently keep it to my cat, fish and my wonderful Bearded Dragon, Albus. From my own pets, work experience, and love of training, I really have worked with everything from lizards to rodents to dogs to elephants! One consistency throughout my experience is my love for animals, and my passion to improve the quality of their life! Specific skills: - Puppy/Adult dog training - Hoofstock care and training (goats, horses, exotics) - Reptile care I currently work from home, so I have the availability to work from wherever I need to. This also gives me the option to walk/train during my breaks. I have weekend availability as needed as well. I am able to stay over at a pet owner’s home if needed, however I prefer to host pets in my own home whenever possible. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed who absolutely LOVES having the company! As always, your pet’s safety is my number one concern. I am trained in identifying and understanding animal behavior and will not put your animal in a position where they do not feel safe. I am also a huge advocate for leash laws and ADA regulations protecting service dogs, so these will always be respected and enforced in my care. I am a huge advocate for animal enrichment, working as a zookeeper in the past taught me how important mental stimulation is for an animal, and how when paired with proper exercise can mitigate behavioral issues in pets. This is something I would love to bring to the table for my clients!
About: I've had and cared for my own pets since I was a little girl, including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and reptiles. I also worked for Petco for a short while in my college years, so I have experience caring for small animals (mice, guinea pigs, ferrets, etc). My boyfriend and I currently have 2 dogs of our own, and a 5 month old baby boy! We go for daily walks on the canal or at the cemetery near our house, as long as the weather permits. I love animal training and the study of animal behavior. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I am very free throughout the day all week! We already go on our own daily pack-walks, so adding a couple more furry friends here and there would be no problem! Our dogs love to play and have a ton of energy! We love doggy play-dates whenever we can get them. We have a decent sized back yard for dog play, and our basement is also a designated puppy-play zone when the weather is wet or cold. We have two long leads in our backyard to ensure no furry friend comes or goes without us knowing. Our dogs are very friendly with other dogs, and love to play and run with new friends! We try to stick to a predictable schedule with them daily, which includes 2 meals a day, 2 play times, at least 1 walk, and a training session with high-incentive treats. We are more than willing to come to your furry friend for play dates and walks as well!
“Oz and Lily love going to Alex & Bethany house. It’s a good feeling knowing that your dogs are well taking care of . Oz and Lily love going to their house Home away from home ❤️”
About: I’ve had pets since I was born. I love to take my dog on walks at the beach and play in the yard with him. I am attentive to any reactions they might have to their surroundings as well. I’ve been looking for a job during the week days and I figured why not try this out to maybe help some families live their life if they’re on vacation or super busy. I have a friendly dog who will keep any pets company. I have a big yard with sun or shade if any dogs love to be outside. I also have crates if dogs need to be crated during the night or day.
“Haley and Amanda were great daycare hosts for our dog Jager! We booked a VERY last minute daycare with them and they were exceptional. Pickup and drop off were seamless, there was active communication throughout the day and photos of Jager playing with their dogs. 10/10 experience and I would absolutely book with her again. :)”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.
“Natalie is an excellent Dog Mom. I can’t say enough good things about her. My wife was hesitant to leave our dog with someone overnight, but Natalie assured her that everything would be fine and it was. Rossi got fresh water multiple times a day, played in her spacious backyard with other dogs, and she took our dog for walks several times a day. She sent multiple updates with pictures and videos, which we really appreciate it. I absolutely would not hesitate to use Natalie again.”
“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”
“Rachel provided kind, attentive and friendly care to my girl Lucy. She provided photos and updates on Lucy and how her day was going. I feel that my girl is in great hands and that I trust Rachel is giving Lucy all the love and attention she needs!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 17 years and have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I’m attentive to routines, leash safety, and each dog’s individual needs — whether that means a long, energetic walk or a slower, more relaxed pace. I’m especially patient with dogs who are nervous, shy, or need a calm presence, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and positive experiences. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’ve set aside dedicated time for dog walks! I’m flexible with weekday walks and happy to accommodate regular weekly schedules as well as occasional walks when needed. I focus on being punctual, reliable, and consistent so your dog can count on a familiar routine🐾 Your dog’s safety is always my top priority! I follow leash safety at all times, pay close attention to body language, and tailor each walk to your dog’s comfort and energy level. I’m careful with weather conditions, traffic, and surroundings, and I treat every dog and home with respect. I’ll always follow your instructions and provide thoughtful updates after each walk!
About: I’m a fun, patient, attentive and big-hearted animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for pets. Growing up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and reptiles, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs. I’ve cared for pets ranging from reptiles and fish, to senior dogs and cats, to puplies and brand new kittens. At 19, I adopted my first dog, a Bull Mastiff, and raised him from a 6-week-old puppy to a 140-pound adult. I’ve also cared for my family’s cats after my mother passed, and I lovingly adopted a 12-year-old Cairn Terrier, providing him with care until his passing at 16.5 years. While I have no formal training, I have a natural ability to train animals with patience and love, always using a firm yet gentle approach. I’m experienced in handling a variety of species, including reptiles like ball pythons and geckos, and have even assisted with rescuing wildlife. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my diverse experience, and my ability to provide both playful and responsible care. Your pet will feel loved, safe, and well-cared for with me! I live alone, lost the last of my own critters, and am a seasonal traveler. I go to Argentina for a couple months every winter so I can’t responsibly own pets of my own, but I am built to be around them! I need animals in my life so this is as much for me as it is for you. I work remotely so I have a lot of flexibility especially when it comes to sitting or walking from my home or town. I can be very attentive to your animal to whatever fits their comfort level. I am very active so am I game for hikes, walks, and lots of playing, but can also enjoy a nice sit and snuggle with an elderly friend. I live alone so there would be no triggers from children, other animals, etc. once they’re in my house. I live walking distance from several trails and parks. I also love taking dogs for car rides! Whatever they wish. I am very attentive so I ensure your baby will be content and cared for to the best of our ability.

About: I will provide you with updates throughout the process, fostering a genuine connection with the pets, helping them feel comfortable, and ensuring a positive experience for them.

I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs for your fur baby to play with and I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: Since I was thirteen, I have stayed home alone while my parents went to work, up to twelve hours on certain days. I have consistently been an owner of five or more dogs at a time, and I would always manage their meals, potty breaks, and everything in between. I am currently unemployed, so I have my entire days to spend taking care of your dog(s). I only keep my weekends to myself, but all day on weekdays are perfect. Whenever I have cared for my dogs, I always took a low-key, chill approach. As long as I know the dogs' tells for wanting to go to the bathroom, as well as general mealtimes, I usually sit with the dogs, give them pets and playtime, and they are generally happy with that.

We have two long leads in our backyard to ensure no furry friend comes or goes without us knowing. Our dogs are very friendly with other dogs, and love to play and run with new friends! We try to stick to a predictable schedule with them daily, which includes 2 meals a day, 2 play times, at least 1 walk, and a training session with high-incentive treats. We are more than willing to come to your furry friend for play dates and walks as well!
