Highly-rated overnight sitters - Model City
“Zaira communicates quickly and thoroughly. Machete didn't want to eat his kibble so Zaira provided him her wet food after asking me, which he happily ate. Machete had a great time meeting new friends, and we really appreciate Zaira's flexibility with drop off / pick up time for boarding. She had only a few dogs (her own and possibly 1 other with machete) so he was able to acclimate more quickly. We will definitely use Zaira again when we're in the niagara area.”
“Darien was absolutely fantastic with our girl (Elsa)! From the onset of booking she made me feel completely at ease by setting up a video chat so that we could meet and I would be comfortable with where Elsa would be staying. Darien would send frequent updates of Elsa’s activities at her place and I could tell Elsa was so well taken care of by Darien and her family (she looked like she was right at home!!). I was also very happy to hear that Elsa got along well with Darien’s dog because Elsa is normally not a very social dog. All in all, Elsa had a comfortable and happy stay and I would definitely bring Elsa back for future boardings 😊!”
“Naomi and Sam are wonderful! My 90lbs dog spent the Christmas holidays with them. I couldn’t have hoped for a better family for him. They took him in and treated him as part of their family. My dog hang out with their Labrador and their kids. And, from that picture Naomi sent, we can tell that they formed a special bond. My dog even got gifts from Santa ☺️. We thank Naomi and Sam for everything they did for our 🐶.”
“Ryan was great with Lilah! Paired her up well with a sweet pug. Then brought her for a big walk, I could certainly tell because of how tired she was when we picked her up. I received so many updates and photos which really relieved us. Thanks Ryan once again for your expertise with dogs and making Lilah so comfortable so we could go discover Niagara!”
“We had contacted Samantha for boarding. She was prompt and very responsive. Roxy enjoyed her time with Samantha and came back very happy. We felt comfortable and will certainly be repeating. Thank you Samantha for all your help.”
“She was awesome with Coco and fair when I had to cut my trip short and leave early. She herself offered to waive the additionally days and gave me the refund without needing to ask her. That shows integrity and customer centric. Appreciate that very much!”
“We took our two year old Westie to Jen and Brents for an overnight stay to see how she would do. Maggie loved being there. She was so well cared for that when we came to pick her up it was like a quick 'Hi!!' and kiss and she was off. We where curious to see how she would fair at betime but she snuggled in on their bed (although she is a 'bed hog!!!' or I say a 'pillow hog?'. but felt right at home. They spent time playing with her with her toys, making sure she had lots of outside time. Maggie loves to be outside. So we would highly recomend Jen and Brent to take care of your beloved pet anytime if you are looking for exceptional care. We will be using them again for sure.”
“If I could leave 100 stars I would!!! Dana and her daughter Emma and pup Tessa were awesome with my skittish Mila. They treated Mila as their own and provided exceptional care...I was afraid she wouldn't want to come back home. Dana sent pictures of Mila enjoying to put my mind at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby ❤️”
“Courtney provided wonderful care for our dog during a lengthy two week stay. She was constantly in communication with us, sent an abundant amount of photos, and made sure our pup felt right at home. We will definitely using her again for future needs and I highly recommend her to others!”
“Bev watched my chihuahua for the first time. She came home happy and playful. I could tell she had a wonderful time. Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”
“Milo had a great time with Charlette and her family! We got lots of updates and pictures each day. We felt relaxed and comfortable that Milo was in good hands! We highly recommend to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“So glad we found Kirsten to watch our puppy Loki. He made new friends and awwma like he had a great time. We got a photo update on his day with her. Definitely would recommend and use again. Thanks ao much!”
“Excellent worry free care. Andreas is very relaxed and attentive. Home like atmosphere with an obvious dog lover. Walter liked him immediately at drop off and couldn’t wait to go inside and didn’t care we were leaving lol Traitor dog!!! Lol Not long after we left, Andreas sent us a video of the dogs playing. It put us at ease while leaving for vacation. He sent us some videos and photo’s throughout the week, it was nice. He asked the right questions at drop off. He texted us about a small growth he found while brushing him, we were aware of the skin tag thing, but nice he texted right away with a concern. And he brushed my severe shedder which is above expectations.We will absolutely use him to watch Walter in the future. Highly recommend”
“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”

I would highly recommend them to anybody. The house was vey clean and a lot of safety features in place. When I picked up CoCo ; she had a little attitude because she didn’t want to come home. Hmmmm! Now that is a good sign of a dog well loved and cared for. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JODI AND JOHN. Thank you again so much”
“Deborah was terrific. She provided a safe, and loving home for our dog. Was easy to communicate with. Her dog was wonderful company for Sadie. Our dog left happy and tired. Thanks so much!!”

“Barbie was fabulous! She offered to meet me and the kitties prior to her official start, she was prompt and communicative, she spent extra time with my cats on her first visit, and she cleaned their food bowls after their use. Something I really appreciate was that she asked me to let her know when I got back from my trip. You know someone truly cares about animals if they don’t consider their job done until they know the pets are back in safe hands. It’s so nice to know that if something happened to me that someone would be thinking of my cats and would have made sure that they were safe.”
“Dana as always did an excellent job. The boys are always happy to see her knowing she will take good care of them. Thank you for all that you do and going above and beyond!”

About: I don’t just watch pets, I care for them like they’re my own. My King Charles Cavalier Spaniel taught me how meaningful the bond between people and their pets can be, and it’s one of the reasons why I treat every animal with patience, affection, and individualized care. With years of experience, a flexible schedule, and a true passion for animals, you can trust that your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕 I work full-time, but pet sitting fits well into my weekly schedule because I’m intentional about making time for it. I only take on bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention, care, and reliability they deserve. Evenings and weekends are open as well as during lunch hours during the work week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and lots of attention. I also treat your home with respect, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Model City
“Erik and Lindsay are amazing! Kind, Responsive, Thorough. They have a great setup in the backyard to make sure your dog can exercise throughout the day. I would highly recommend them.”
“My Peekapoo is excited to be left in Martrice's care for the day and to play with the other pups. What a relief to have found a pet sitter I trust to give my furry friend attention and affection! And I enjoy the photos and communication she texts while I'm away. Martrice is flexible, always smiling, and a joy to work with. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her daycare and boarding services.”
About: If you have decided to keep your pets at home, where they are most comfortable, hire a person who will shower them with love and keep them safe. I'm retired from banking and loving the simple life, enjoying what I truly love.... caring for pets. Besides caring for my own pets, home, and family. I am available all days and will do my best to meet your needs. My three precious furbabbies-a very funny cat-Miss Kitty and two Pomskys-Sheeba & Earl-are my pride and joy. My Pomskys are escape artists which makes me hyper-aware. I understand the importance of protecting them and ensuring their safety. I love all fur babies with all my heart and treat them like children. I love to walk my dogs along the Niagara Falls Gorge trail and ArtPark in Lewiston. I have a bike trailer and take my dog and cat for rides.
“We love Dhizzy, and I can’t thank her enough for being so incredible with our dog. Willow loves being with Dhizzy and we always feel comfortable leaving her there. She is kind, a great communicator, and always happy to see our Willow. We can’t say enough wonderful things about the service she provides.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for over 13 years. I grew up with pets, volunteered walking dogs at the Humane Society, and neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets. With my own dog of 13 years, I’ve experienced the full journey from puppyhood to senior care, giving me the skills to handle all life stages with patience and compassion. I’m a stay-at-home mom/small business owner with a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pets. Daily walks, playtime, and cuddles can easily fit into my routine. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I’ll make sure your dog gets the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I have a fenced good sized yard where pups can play and a dog to keep them company. I can also crate your dog if preferred. Since I have a young child, I will take on dogs who are good with kids, making for a loving, social, and family-style environment. Will typically take on dog aged 3 and up with the exception of your dog is very relaxed. Also good with other dogs and respect my older dogs boundaries of being cared for in my home. Within the past year we lost my first baby my black lab, my chocolate lab would love the company here and there of another dog that matches her lazy chill vibe to have around for overnights.

“Andreas was the MVP on our trip to Canada from the States. We needed someone to watch our dog very short notice and they were able to accommodate us. Our dog came back to us well taken care of and full-steam tail wagging, as promised. 10/10 would recommend and return to Andreas if we're ever back in the area.”
“Kelly was very responsive and flexible. We were visiting Niagara Falls for the day and doing the tourist things, so we weren't exactly sure of our schedule, but Kelly was very accommodating. She sent pictures & videos to let us know our Colter was doing okay.”
“Charlene was amazing. My doggie is from the US and he now has a CA dog buddy name Dora & a special human friend Charlene🌷. She took such great care of Rocket. He enjoyed himself for 2 daytime daycare visits.. This helped us have a more enjoyable vacation and afforded Rocket the same as well. This was our first road trip with Rocket. Thank You so much Charlene.💐🌸🌺🌸🌷🌷🌷🌷🌺🌸💐”
“We were in NOTL for vacation and needed a dogsitter while we took an all day tour. Paula was most helpful in watching our Roxy while we were gone all day. She communicated frequently with us and gave us updates on how Roxy was doing. She even sent photos of Roxy snuggling with her. She obviously is a dog (and cat) lover. We would definitely use Paula again for our petsitting needs.”

She gave them the extra love and spoiling they needed while we ventured to Niagara Falls for the day- and she even gave us some great tips! Would highly recommend and certainly would use again!”

“Meagan, you and your family did such an amazing job caring for my pup, Alfie! Meagan followed all of my requests and kept me updated throughout the whole entire visit according to my request. Their home is intentionally set up to accommodate caring for a dog, with areas gated for safety. Her daughter's are also extremely sweet and I appreciate that they spent time and playing with Alfie. They are clearly dog savvy kids and were very respectful of him and his needs. I don't even think Alfie knew I was gone 🙄😂 Thank you very much Meagan & family!!”

“Roberta took great care of our sweet boy. She was very loving and kept us notified during the day and even sent us pictures. And the most important is that Marbles was very happy when we picked him up :)”
“Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of our dog Apollo! This was our first time leaving him with anyone other than family and he loved it, but most importantly we were reassured that he was safe and doing well during the whole day. Stephanie sent us many videos and pictures of Apollo’s stay, which was amazing because we could see how much fun he was having! I will and already have booked multiple more doggy day care for Apollo with Stephanie and recommend anyone to do so too!”

We greatly appreciated the pictures, they were very reassuring as we had never left Muffin before, she is becoming a world traveler 😉🤗.

About: Hello, my name is Brianna and I love animals! I worked at Petsmart for six years and have always had dogs in my home. I think dogs need love, attention, social situations, and lots of exercise to truly thrive. I had my own Pomeranian /poodle mix dog named Diesel for 10 years that I absolutely adored before his recent passing. I have met and worked with many types of dogs throughout my life. I currently have a very open schedule as I am between work contracts for a couple months. I have a lot of time to help care for your buddy! I have taken care of my own dog for all ten years of his life. I loved to cuddle with him and play with him. I love all dogs and love to see them happy.
About: I have personally owned and loved dogs since I was a child. All of them were rescues and ranged in size from sweet 30 pounders to 120 giant pounds of love. There is nothing like the unconditional love they bring to a family. I always observed that regular walks made our dogs, and myself as well, happier and healthier. At one point we had two dogs which was double the pleasure. Sadly, our circumstances no longer allow for us to own a pup of our own and I very much miss those daily walks together. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pooch and to help you care for this most important aspect of his or her wellness. Let’s make it happen!

“Darien was absolutely fantastic with our girl (Elsa)! From the onset of booking she made me feel completely at ease by setting up a video chat so that we could meet and I would be comfortable with where Elsa would be staying. Darien would send frequent updates of Elsa’s activities at her place and I could tell Elsa was so well taken care of by Darien and her family (she looked like she was right at home!!). I was also very happy to hear that Elsa got along well with Darien’s dog because Elsa is normally not a very social dog. All in all, Elsa had a comfortable and happy stay and I would definitely bring Elsa back for future boardings 😊!”
“Naomi and Sam are wonderful! My 90lbs dog spent the Christmas holidays with them. I couldn’t have hoped for a better family for him. They took him in and treated him as part of their family. My dog hang out with their Labrador and their kids. And, from that picture Naomi sent, we can tell that they formed a special bond. My dog even got gifts from Santa ☺️. We thank Naomi and Sam for everything they did for our 🐶.”
“Ryan was great with Lilah! Paired her up well with a sweet pug. Then brought her for a big walk, I could certainly tell because of how tired she was when we picked her up. I received so many updates and photos which really relieved us. Thanks Ryan once again for your expertise with dogs and making Lilah so comfortable so we could go discover Niagara!”

“If I could leave 100 stars I would!!! Dana and her daughter Emma and pup Tessa were awesome with my skittish Mila. They treated Mila as their own and provided exceptional care...I was afraid she wouldn't want to come back home. Dana sent pictures of Mila enjoying to put my mind at ease. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby ❤️”

“Excellent worry free care. Andreas is very relaxed and attentive. Home like atmosphere with an obvious dog lover. Walter liked him immediately at drop off and couldn’t wait to go inside and didn’t care we were leaving lol Traitor dog!!! Lol Not long after we left, Andreas sent us a video of the dogs playing. It put us at ease while leaving for vacation. He sent us some videos and photo’s throughout the week, it was nice. He asked the right questions at drop off. He texted us about a small growth he found while brushing him, we were aware of the skin tag thing, but nice he texted right away with a concern. And he brushed my severe shedder which is above expectations.We will absolutely use him to watch Walter in the future. Highly recommend”
“As for the first timer, the sitters exceeded my expectations. Normally I don’t leave my dogs with strangers however with this first time experience I have read other reviews about the sitters and their reviews have kept true to their words about the experiences and I have to say I stand by other of the reviewers with my dogs. They have kept up to par with communications and pictures and I felt good knowing I made the right choice with the sitters. I would not mind having them again for my dogs ❤️”

“Jodie and John did an excellent job taking care of coco butter. They went above and beyond my expectations. Jodi kept in touch with pictures and updates and little notes. I would highly recommend them to anybody. The house was vey clean and a lot of safety features in place. When I picked up CoCo ; she had a little attitude because she didn’t want to come home. Hmmmm! Now that is a good sign of a dog well loved and cared for. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK JODI AND JOHN. Thank you again so much”
