Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Waterfront, Buffalo, NY

“Kate was very professional and did a fantastic job with our anxious dog. She showed up right on time for multiple visits and took our dog on a nice walk. She made sure he was appropriately fed and taken care of. We'll be asking her to watch our dog again!”

About: I have hands-on experience from working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’ve also provided regular dog walking, in-home sitting, and medication support for friends and family. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior dog with special needs, I’m confident, patient, and ready to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I can’t wait to meet your pet and give them the care and attention they deserve! As a nursing student studying at D’Youville University in Buffalo on summer break, I have a very flexible schedule and am available every day from Monday to Sunday. With plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to keep your pets comfortable and cared for while you’re away. In your home, I stick to your pet’s routine to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re not. Whether it’s feeding, meds, walks, or just some good company, I’m there to give them the care and attention they’re used to. I’ll keep you updated along the way, so you always know how they’re doing. My goal? Happy tails, comfy naps, and peace of mind for you.

“Elizabeth did a great job caring for my 3 cats. Two are seniors and the other cat had some recent health problems. Elizabeth communicated clearly and took care of feeding and watering all 3 cats plus some flowers on my porch. Elizabeth is punctual and reliable.”

“This was our first time using Rover, previously we have only left our animals in the care of immediate family. Ray was outstanding! The pictures that were sent each visit, documented the time we missed with Sofie. I couldn't be more pleased with the care and attention Sofie received from Ray.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the house, and I would usually convince them to get more! I’m always asked to pet sit by family and friends as my love for animals is known by all. Since I’ve moved into my own apartment, I’ve volunteered at the SPCA and have fostered multiple dogs! I always need to have dog interaction in my life, so since I’m not quite ready to adopt, I take care of shelter pups or other people’s dogs when they need the help! I am currently an undergraduate student at University at Buffalo. I have a fairly flexible schedule as all my classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, giving me a generous amount of free time during the remaining days of the week. I currently live in an apartment with no dog of my own, however, I grew up in a house that always had a dog. I still consider my mom’s dogs my own, and visit them quite frequently. I’m the type to sit down and spend lots of quality one on one time with a pup. I never get tired of playing and would love to go on long walks around the neighborhood. I am also a sucker for spoiling dogs with treats :)

About: My first family dog came into my life when I was 6 years old, and I have loved and lived with dogs ever since. I love all shapes and sizes, and have a special fondness for the big and fluffy types. In addition to caring for my own dogs over the years, I have dog-sit for friends any time I had an opportunity. I can offer walks, backyard playtime, and snuggles on the couch (with mom or dad's permission, of course!) I know many dogs and their families have a certain routine that they don't like to deviate from, and I always do my best to keep your dogs on the schedule they're used to. I get to make my own hours for my day job, so I have lots of flexibility! I'm available mornings, weekends, some evenings, and most holidays. I come to a pet owner's home with the awareness that I am a stranger encroaching on your pet's space, and will treat your home and your fur babies with the upmost respect. I am great at following detailed instructions to a T and will adapt depending on what helps your pets feel the most comfortable.

“Ciara was super responsive and helpful when I needed a new cat sitter on really short notice! She wanted to know absolutely everything abt my cat's routine to make him as comfortable as possible while I was gone, and he loved her so much even though he's often pretty skittish around new people. I got lots of photos and detailed reports every day, she was really attentive to his behavior and making sure he was okay, and overall was just fantastic!”

Jasper S.

“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”

About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her. I am very playful with dogs and make sure they eat and have a clean bowl of water. I am currently working a job during the afternoon on the weekdays and the weekends but I will still be available to play with your pups on the weekdays some mornings :) I will always keep your pup in company. I love to watch over playful dogs and love to teach them new tricks. I’m a very kind and generous person and comfortable to be around with dogs.

About: Hi there! I’m your dog’s future favorite human — the Cool Dog Auntie 😎🐕. I may not have a pup of my own (yet!), but I’ve been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for family and friends for years. From weekend stays to weeklong pup-sitting, I’ve done it all — including walking just about every waterfront trail in Erie County! During a recent 8-month break from work, I spent nearly every day walking my friend’s dog, exploring parks, playing fetch, and bonding with her like she was my own. Whether your dog needs long walks, belly rubs, or a cozy buddy while you’re away, I’m here to make them feel loved and happy. Let’s get your pup’s tail wagging — I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾 I'm a hybrid worker, which means I have daytime availability on Mondays and Fridays, weekday evenings, and I'm often free on weekends (unless I'm traveling). Just reach out — I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the animals and the space with the same respect I would want for my own. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules to walk routes and favorite toys — to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I keep things clean, make sure water bowls are always full, and scoop litter or pick up waste promptly. I also keep an eye out for any unusual behavior and will reach out if something seems off. Most importantly, I give your pet plenty of love, attention, and playtime so they feel safe and cared for. You’ll get regular updates (and cute photos!), and I’ll always lock up carefully, follow your home instructions, and leave things just as I found them — or better.

“Bosco loves Elena! She is such a caring and attentive cat sitter. Flexible when we have to reschedule and great communication. We appreciate her so much!”

About: Hi, I have an associates degree from Northern Virginia Community College in Veterinary Technology. I have done prior dog sitting dog jobs before. I currently am responsible for the care and maintenance of my three csts and occasionally my parents cat. I have care experience with a variety of animals including fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, and anyother house hold pet. I currently work full-time for the VA, however I am free most evenings and over the weekend for walks, drop in visits, or whatever is need for your pet. I currently do not accept pets into my house. I will gladly watch your pets in your home if needed. I take all safety precautions seriously. No doors to the outside are opened unless the pets are properly secured to prevent escapes. All animals on walks are double leashed for safety.

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, usually two of each at a time. I’ve had the joy and privilege of taking care of both for decades including my own, my family’s, or my friends’. I currently have a 3 year old cat named Apple who gets along great with people, dogs, and other cats. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday, about 9am-6pm, but live only about 10 minutes away and so come home for an hour lunch midday. I am available in the mornings and evenings after work. I have a spacious one bedroom apartment occupied by just myself and my cat, so any animal would have plenty of room to relax in their own space. Although there is no yard, there are nearby areas that I can walk to easily.

About: A safe environment for your furry friends when you're away. I will ensure that your dogs receive the attention, care, and exercise they need. From playtime to walks, cuddles to feeding, I will keep your pups happy and healthy. A loving pet owner of a nine year old St. Bernard. Can administer medicine if needed. I will spend mornings and evenings with your pet(s)! I do work full time; if your home is a reasonable distance from where I work, I can drop by for lunch time potty breaks or walks. Your pet will go no more than 8-hours without me being there. As someone who travels often, I know what it feels like to worry about your pet while gone. I will abide by any house rules (even if that means they can’t sleep in the bed with me), and send lots of pictures and updates to give you a sound mind while away from your pups.

“Beste was super attentive and went above and beyond updating us every time she took the dogs out with pictures and notes in their outings!”
