“My dogs had a blast with Zaira and her family!!! They spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful we were having over the weekend and she gave them the love and attention they needed. She followed all care instructions to the letter and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout their stay. Overall 10000/10, will absolutely re-book with Zaira. Mil gracias 💛”
“Couldn’t be more grateful for the care Darien and her family has given to our dog. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. It was obvious through the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. The regular photo updates truly helped put us at ease and made being away from him so much easier. We really appreciated the kindness, communication, and level of care throughout the stay. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already rebooked for next month. Highly recommended!”
“Samantha took great care of our Old English Sheepdog (Mick) while we were away for a week over the holidays. We were updated with photos and can’t say enough good things about her and the care/attention she provided. We highly recommend Samantha and will gladly be repeat customers. Thank you Samantha!”
“Amazing sitter!! I know when I leave Jiraiya with Ryan, he's going to have a blast. I can tell Jiraiya has plenty of playtime because he's a sleepy boy on the car ride home lol. Thank you Ryan :)”
“Copper's second stay with Jennifer and Brent was as successful as the first. Copper had a great time - And got spoiled by all the attention and special treatment -- Like getting to sleep on the sofa! Jennifer and Brent also took him hiking one day which we know he loves. We will certainly leave Copper with them again on our next trip to St. Catharines. Thanks for all you do for him and us, guys! Take care. Ron and Jen.”
“Monique was amazing at taking care of our boy Charlie while we were away. She provided us with pictures and updates everyday. He seemed very at home with Monique and her family. I was not in the least bit concerned about my fur baby while away. Excellent experience.”
“We left our two pups with Andreas for 10 days and it was the first time we boarded our dogs so we were a bit nervous. But he was so wonderful with them, and they felt so loved the entire time. He kept us regularly updated and couldn’t have asked for someone better to look after them.”
“My puppy was so happy at Courtney space! And I appreciate Courtney was doing a wonderful job sending me photos of my puppy. I will definitely reach out to Courtney for taking care of my baby doggie again. 100% recommend her!”
“Dana was absolutely amazing from the beginning! Responded quickly and was very helpful. My dog definitely had a great time with her and she sent me updates. Would absolutely book with her again.”
“Jessica and her family watched our pup Clementine for a long weekend. She was a little nervous since it was her first time away with new friends but Jess made her feel so welcome and she got comfortable right away! We touched base daily and she was great at communicating. She was also flexible and easy going which helped make everything easier! Would be happy to recommend to anyone and would gladly have them watch our furbabe again! ??”
“Thanks Stephanie for taking such good care of our little Lexi. It was obvious by the videos you sent to us that she really enjoyed her stay with you. We are happy to know that we will have such a welcoming place to leave her in the future if the need arises. Anne & Jorg Seitz”
“I booked Beverly because I thought she would take good care of my Lola while I was away. And she did. She messaged me almost every day I was away and sent pictures! Lola had a good time and got along well with Bev’s dog, Daisy. An added “perk” is the fenced in back yard where I knew Lola could do her “zoomies” safely. I didn’t worry about Lola getting good care while I was away. I highly recommend Beverly and would book with her again.”
“Charlette was wonderful!!! Nikey does well with new people, but can get nervous in new environments. Charlette treated him with kindness and patience. She was able and willing to work with his normal routine and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which helped me feel at ease. Nikey warmed up to her, her home, and her family quickly. We are so happy to have connected with Charlette and will absolutely request services again!!!”
“Jenn was awesome!! She sent pictures of all the adventures our dog had with her. Ducky seems like she has a great time and has been sleeping for days lol.”
“Jodie and John were excellent with our dogs. We have an elderly dog and a dog with special needs. We couldn't have picked better people to watch our dogs while we were away. They sent pictures everyday and updates. They put meds in our elderly dog's eyes daily. Absolutely wonderful place to take your dogs to. Our dogs had the best time ever!!”
“Erica was great! Super flexible and willing to take on Henry with pretty limited notice! He had a great time at her house, and Erica provided plenty of pictures and updates as to how Henry was doing! 6 out of 5 stars, would absolutely book again!”
“Wonderful dog sitters . Daisy gets along so well with her buddy . Very kind and loving hosts will use them whenever we need dog sitting . Thanks so much for taking such great care of Daisy ,”

“This was our first time using Rover and quite glad we gave it a try and met Barbie! Our 16 yo cat can be a challenge--to say the least. He requires twice a day injections and he will fight pretty much anyone but me. Barbie came in and not only made friends with Sphinx (after he warmed up to her), but was able to give him his shots. She was fabulous with him. Kept him company, got him to purr, sent us updates every visit with pictures. I am so grateful to have found Rover and her!”
“Fantastic service our pups were well taken care of and I felt so relaxed and at ease to enjoy our trip to niagara Falls! Marie sent pictures, was on time and did a great job! I would use her again and i recommend her to anyone! Thank you Marie!”
“Jenna was fabulous! I loved receiving her photos and updates, which she sent immediately after each visit. I so appreciated that she voluntarily adjusted the time of her first visit, when I mentioned a change in my departure time. When I got home after several days away, my cat was happy to see me, but not at all anxious or distressed, which really speaks to the care she received from Jenna. Based on the pictures, my cat seems to love her. I’ll definitely use her again!”
About: I have been fostering dogs for the past 2 and a half years. Animals are a true passion of mine. I am experienced will all breeds. I have also taken dog training classes. I work most nights. So I am available during the day to check on your pets during the day while you are at work. I understand the feeling it’s great leaving them alone all day. I’m here to help. I care for all pets as they are my own. I love meeting new dogs cats and other animals as well. Pets are truly family members
About: I am a NYS licensed veterinary techincian. Have over 20+ years in pet experience. Have several reoccuring pet sitting clients that use my services over and over. I currently Only pet sit for local families in their homes. I have no other job at this time. So other than my family sitting is my only obligation. I focus mainly on pet sitting cats, ( feed, change litter and play) in their own homes but will on occasion dog sit well behaved local dogs in their homes.
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.
“April is so great! She took excellent care of my cat who is very lovable and doesn’t like to be alone for too long. She sent photos and a perfect update after dropping by my house to care for him. I have asked her to come back already for another sitting! Thank you again”
About: I've had cats in my life since I was 8 years old. I know every cat has its very own personality and some are cuddly and some like to be left alone. That's my favorite part. I have 3 myself and each one is totally different.
About: I'm all about creating a comfy, safe, and super fun experience for your pet! I've got a knack for puppy training and giving extra TLC to senior pets, making sure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. Balancing my summer job with pet care is pretty fun and all about smart planning! I make sure to schedule visits around my work hours, so your pet gets all the attention and care they need. It's all about making sure they're happy and comfy while you're away! When I do drop-in visits, I focus on keeping your pet's routine as normal as possible. That means feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and lots of cuddles in their own comfy space. I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved!
About: I’m 22 years old and have owned and cared for cats for most of my life (10+ years of experience). I regularly pet sit for friends, family, and clients, and I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, and senior cats. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away
About: Dogs must be dog friendly as we have a young, neutered very active 65lb male! He is not dominant/or aggressive but he is definitely ready to play. No small dogs unfortunately. I have owned, rescued and fostered dogs for over 25 years. My dogs have always been my heart. I have been around medium to large breeds, but I'm comfortable with small breeds also. Unfortunately our 60lb young, male may be far too rough for a dog under 25 lbs. I also adore cats, although I've never owned one. I can't have cats inside my home..but I am happy to care for/feed at your home during a drop in visit. Your dog will be treated as if they are my own! Your dog must be able to coincide with other dogs while in our care. We have a young male, neutered boy who loves to play and loves other dogs. I'm home the entire time your dog is in my care, and if I did need to run out for an errand, I will check with you as to how you prefer your pet to be safely alone. Our home is temperature regulated, the energy is calm and we have a great property for exercise or lounging by the lake. Our neighbor's dogs do come onto our property periodically, so please let me know if this is a problem. Your pet's stay will be far more comfortable than any luxury style suite or commercial boarding facility. They will have my full attention and TLC throughout the day, with plenty of outside time! I will keep in contact via text and phone the entire time I have your pet in my care, while sharing photos. I know and understand the anxiety a pet owner has while being away from their pet. I watch the way a person treats their pets as I think it says a lot about who they are! I do have 2 older children, one lives with me. Both of my kids have grown up with animals and adore them. I have worked in special education for years and also have owned my own business. I currently am an online college student, studying for my Master's Degree in social work and a real estate agent. When your pets stay with me, I am home with them. I'll assure your sweet pup is well looked after and comfortable while in my care! Our home is your pet's home while they are my guest. They are treated as family and have free run of the home as you wish. If your pet needs to be crated while here, please let me know beforehand.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Carrie took great care of my baby while we were out exploring the Niagara Falls. She was quick to respond, asked great questions, and overall provided the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our day.”
“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.”
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.
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.
“Jersey had the best day with her new bff Dhizzy 💜 It’s no joke when you leave your fur baby with someone new and your heart is in your throat. Dhizzy shared photos and updates that showed me how happy my girl was, Jersey has expressive eyes and she was an happy girl 🥰and I love the Rover card. Absolutely booking again 💜”

“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!”
“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.💐🌸🌺🌸🌷🌷🌷🌷🌺🌸💐”

About: I am a 31 year old entrepreneur who works from home and enjoys all the time that this lifestyle allows me to share with my Pomeranian / Daschund, Bella. We go for long walks along the Niagara River and Whilrpool road hikes. Snacks are a regular part of our routine, positive reinforcement all the way! Bella will be sure to teach your fluff some of her tricks, and hopefully meet some friends along the way. We are both warm & friendly ladies, who love to be around other people and creatures. We are very talkative and have lots of interaction. Your animals will feel very welcome in our home. Bella has all of her updated shots, and we expect all of our fur friends to have the same.
“Riley enjoyed her day with Naomi and Sam and did not want to come home with us during pick up! Naomi was very easy to talk to and listened with care about Riley’s sensitivities and separation anxiety to make sure she met her needs. Riley will definitely be going back again! We received lots of pictures and updates as well. Thank you for taking care of my girl with so much love.”
“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!!”
“Sarah is a saver! She was so accommodating to accept my last minute request. She gave updates about my puppy from time to time. Next time again when I’m in Niagara!”
“Monica and her children have been fantastic with our puppy Ace! Pick up and drop off are very easy and enjoyable. Monica always sends photos and updates so I can see how Ace’s day is going. Ace loves going to daycare at Monica’s and always wags his tail when we pull up to her home. My fiancée and I are very thankful that Monica took a chance on our pup and would highly recommend her to our family and friends.”
“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 :)”

I will care for your pets as you do. I typically visit the home before dogsitting to meet the dog and see what their routine is.

About: I’ve retired from running a large cat rescue organization where I acquired an accumulation of 30+ years devoted to loving, caring and doting on literally thousands of cats and kittens. If regular medical care is needed I am able to give pills, insulin, and SubQ fluids. I have a comprehensive understanding of the feline spirit so frightened or grumpy cats do not discourage me from providing loving care. I’m happy to send daily updates and pictures of your cat to ensure that you know your baby is experiencing his or her own mini-vacation filled with baby talk and unparalleled spoiling. I’m retired and have full availability and flexibility to provide care according to your cat or dog’s schedule. Keeping your fur-kid on his or her routine is paramount to the care I provide. I understand the importance of ensuring your cat’s safety with the proper opening and closing of entrance doors so your baby does not run outside. Litterboxes will be scooped on each visit. Fresh water and clean food bowls are a “must do”. Happy to bring in newspapers from the driveway and mail to keep your home looking lived-in.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, always have one(or more) around the house, while also volunteering at the Heart of Niagara Animal Shelter on multiple occasions. I’m currently working part-time over summer break, so I am available at least 3-4 days a week, and always available after 3 in the afternoon. I frequently walk my two dogs, both adolescent labs. They require lots of playtime in order to sleep at night, so I’ll have your pup nice and tired when they get back to you.
About: At a young age I walked the neighborhood, knocking on doors, asking "can I walk your dog?" I have always loved dogs and I am a natural caretaker. I have experience with all ages and sizes! I will treat your pet like they are my own. I work full time however I work from home and am extremely flexible (not tied to a computer/phone at all times). I'd prefer to discuss the schedule with any potential pet parents since each schedule is unique. I would prefer to provide care in the pets home. I have 4 young children so my home can be chaotic. Bringing a stranger around your pet may be hard, bringing them to a chaotic environment would only make it worse.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cat since 19. I also had them in the home I grew up in. However, I have also cared for pregnant mommas of both types. Including their babies once born.

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!
About: I take care of my parents dog when they go on vacation, which is very often. I feed him and walk him 2 times a day. I usually work in the afternoon so i would be available to care for your pets for at least a half hour before or after work. My schedule is revolving so please inquire my weekly availability I will offer unconditional love to your family pet. Make sure to feed/water fresh. I will make sure they have gone out adequately and frequently as needed.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and they are one of my favorite animals. I have watched and walked families dogs for a long time and i’ve never had an issue and they can always rely on me! I am a student at Hilbert College and I work part time at American Eagle. I have a lot of availability these days so I have plenty of time to fit your animals needs into my schedule! I have an electric fence for my 2 dogs, they have a decent sized backyard and love to run around. They are super sweet but they don’t require a crate.
About: Hi my name is Sarah! I grew up on a farm in Royalton, NY with lots of different types of animals such as dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and much more. While growing up I gave each of the animals love and attention even the chickens. My parents always rescued animals even some of the chickens. My childhood animals stayed at my parents house due to them being older and since I moved to Ransomville, NY I always stop by so they can have some sissy time my mother calls it. I have 3 dogs (Jessie 12yrs, Romeo 9yrs, Izzy 3yrs) 2 cats (Cowy 9yrs, Sophie 9yrs) , and 1 bearded dragon (Littleman 10yrs). As of right now only little man moved with us due to the other babies are older and have only known my parents house, but they do come over for holidays and family events and love to see my house and littleman. My mother always told me when i pull in the driveway all she has to say is sissy is here and they all go crazy happy to see me. I love them with all my heart, and i treat every animal that I take care of with love, attention and most importantly like they are my own. I love helping animal families with care for their children. I sometimes work in office and other times at home, If you need around the clock care and I am in the office, I can make arragments to get care when I am not there, sometimes my husband helps with some of my clients and loves animals almost as much as me. He always says I love all animals and he loves animals to but will never have the connection to animals like I do. I do take care of lots of animals in and outside of my home such as dogs cats, reptiles , and farm animals such as horses, chickens, rabbits, goats, and even cows. I know most animal parents have a schedule for there little ones and also ground rules. I always ask when I meet new families I am taking care of if they have any rules or schedules for their animals. I always want to make sure when they are gone on vacation or even a day trip, that their animals are well taken care of and also to make sure that their children enjoy there time away as well.

“Couldn’t be more grateful for the care Darien and her family has given to our dog. From the moment we left, we felt reassured knowing he was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. It was obvious through the updates and photos that he was happy, relaxed, and getting lots of attention and affection. The regular photo updates truly helped put us at ease and made being away from him so much easier. We really appreciated the kindness, communication, and level of care throughout the stay. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already rebooked for next month. Highly recommended!”
“Samantha took great care of our Old English Sheepdog (Mick) while we were away for a week over the holidays. We were updated with photos and can’t say enough good things about her and the care/attention she provided. We highly recommend Samantha and will gladly be repeat customers. Thank you Samantha!”
“Amazing sitter!! I know when I leave Jiraiya with Ryan, he's going to have a blast. I can tell Jiraiya has plenty of playtime because he's a sleepy boy on the car ride home lol. Thank you Ryan :)”
“We left our two pups with Andreas for 10 days and it was the first time we boarded our dogs so we were a bit nervous. But he was so wonderful with them, and they felt so loved the entire time. He kept us regularly updated and couldn’t have asked for someone better to look after them.”
“My puppy was so happy at Courtney space! And I appreciate Courtney was doing a wonderful job sending me photos of my puppy. I will definitely reach out to Courtney for taking care of my baby doggie again. 100% recommend her!”

She was a little nervous since it was her first time away with new friends but Jess made her feel so welcome and she got comfortable right away! We touched base daily and she was great at communicating. She was also flexible and easy going which helped make everything easier! Would be happy to recommend to anyone and would gladly have them watch our furbabe again! ??”

“Charlette was wonderful!!! Nikey does well with new people, but can get nervous in new environments. Charlette treated him with kindness and patience. She was able and willing to work with his normal routine and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which helped me feel at ease. Nikey warmed up to her, her home, and her family quickly. We are so happy to have connected with Charlette and will absolutely request services again!!!”

They sent pictures everyday and updates. They put meds in our elderly dog's eyes daily. Absolutely wonderful place to take your dogs to. Our dogs had the best time ever!!”
“Carrie was beyond amazing! We rd can't describe how grateful I felt about Richard's experience with Carrie! First off, running into an emergency needing last minute accommodations had me in panic mode, she was able to take him the very next day. All my hesitation I had leaving my baby with someone I didn't know went away immediately after dropping Richard off. He was spoiled, loved, got a bath for getting a little to dirty playing, got snuggles and she even asked me for permission to take him to petco as they had ice cream day for dogs. Received photos, videos and Richard has 2 new buddies for life with Chester and Charlie! You won't be disappointed with Carrie, I won't vouch for many, but you and your baby will feel safe with Carrie while you are away! Thanks Carrie! I appreciate you so much!”

“Raisa took wonderful care of our dog, Bonita! We could tell Bonita had a fun and comfortable stay, and she almost did not want to leave. Raisa went above and beyond by giving Bonita extra home-cooked dog food and comforting her during loud noises and thunderstorms. Bonita also loved spending time with her daughter and husband too. We are so thankful for the love and care Raisa and her family gave Bonita. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”
