“Lauren was very proactive and helpful in caring for our cat Penny while we were away. She left some very useful feedback and tips that we will implement well into the future. I would recommend Lauren without hesitation.”
“Marie looked after our cat during two weeks over the holidays. During this period Marie supplied us with video and many photos of our happy and well cared for pet. Thank you for being so dependable and compassionate!”
“Cheryl was very patient and took the time to get to know my cat's routine and unique preferences. She knows how to engage with cats and play with them in a gentle and thoughtful way. I was amazed that my cat, who is usually cautious around new people, treated Cheryl like a friend right from the first visit — that rarely happens! I really appreciate her calm, caring presence and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and cat-savvy sitter.”
“Monica went above and beyond during our visit. Gave them love and attention. She did extra things for our furbabies. When we did our first meet I knew instantly she was kind and her kids were so sweet with our babies. Thank you again for looking after our babies. The photos made me happy to see our furbabies doing so well under your care. Sending you best wishes”
“I highly recommend Sam. She was absolutely fantastic dropping in to take care of my 4 cats, including administering the one cat's daily inhaler for asthma. Sam was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and thorough in letting me know how everyone was doing. Sam made my babies and myself very comfortable and confident in being very well taken care of. I look forward to having Sam back in future!”
“Barbie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for us and our pets. Her detailed updates and frequent photos helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so comforting knowing our kitties were in such good hands! We will definitely be using Barbie again in the future!”

About: My friends have always come to me first for any kind of help with dogs (general advice, training, walking, sitting). I used to be a volunteer dog walker at the Humane Society. I mostly work from home on my own schedule so I’m quite flexible mid-day to come play with your pup! I’m also a very easy going person. In my home: I live on an open acre amongst the vineyards by the lake, so I always have to keep dogs on leash around my yard. However if they’re trained, I am happy to let them off leash to run, play and swim. I have the hose ready and lots of dog towels available. In a client’s home: it’s up to the client but I like to start with a short walk and see if the dog needs more exercise (younger pup), or just needs cuddles (senior dog).
“My Toby cat is a bit of a bad boy. Stephanie took great care of him and managed his neurotic tendencies. Lots of pictures and I was greatly reassured that he was cared for while I was away. She's an excellent pet sitter. Highly recommended! Toby agrees.”
About: I have taken care of my own pets our golden retriever with a chronic illness that required daily medication and frequent vet visits. I have also have a maine coon cross cat. I am currently attending college and finishing my criminal psychology degree in order to work security for public safety. I am flexible with my schedule and that allows me to work with pets. I will go to my clients home. I can walk and care for dogs of all sizes and I can check in on and provide play time for cats.
“Emily was outstanding!! Our kitty is 19 years old and not overly active, yet Emily got her up and about playing with her toys, vocalizing, nuzzling … it so warmed our hearts to see our kitty so happy. We loved getting the pics and updates daily. We felt 1000 percent happy with Emily’s care of our “baby!” She will be top of our list for pet sitting in the future. We highly recommend this very caring, attentive young lady … thank you Emily.”
About: I’ve always loved animals. I had two Golden Retrievers and three cats who were a huge part of my life. They’ve all passed over the last few years, and while I’m not ready for new pets of my own just yet, I’d love to care for yours. I have a soft spot for Golden Retrievers and could really use one to love right now — but no matter the breed, I’ll treat your pet like family. Whether it’s a walk, a visit, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe and cared for. I have a full time job Monday- Thursday. I can be available for drop ins on those evenings if needed. Most Thursdays I’m available after 2. I have off Friday- Sunday and am available for several drop ins and walks When your pet is with me I will treat them as my own. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their quirks, preferences, and routines. My goal is to make them feel at home while you’re away, giving you peace of mind and your pet a new friend they can trust.
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
“Tessa was so great when we left her to care for our cat. Even though her time got cut short because of some hiccups on my part, I felt so comfortable and confident that Kitchi was in good hands. Thank you so much!!”
“We are so pleased with the care that Nikki took with our German Shepherds! Our dogs were extremely well cared for and were very happy to have her play with them. Roeder and Roxy got lots of exercise and had fun with her. We had no worries or concerns, and very much appreciated the photos and consistent communication during our time away. We look forward to having Nikki come visit our dogs in the future. You are the best, Nikki!”
“Laura was incredible! During our meet-and-greet, she almost blew right by me (in the nicest way) in favor of meeting our Sadie. It is clear how much she loves dogs and Sadie (who is very skidding) warmed up to her easily. Laura communicated frequently to share photos and anecdotes while we were away. It was such a relief knowing Sadie felt safe and comfortable. I would give Laura 6 stars if I could! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Kristin P.
“Kristin is honestly one of the sweetest, most caring, sensitive and loving individuals i have ever met. Not only is she responsible and punctual, she's also really amazing about communication during her sittings. I moved to niagara falls a few years ago and my long time pet sitter lives 3 hours away now, so it was very inconvenient with travel and commutes when I'd go on my work trips or vacations. I trust barely anyone with my pets as they do have health issues, problems with other pets etc. Finding Kristin was a god send for me and my babies. She has been nothing but amazing with them and I trust her whole heartedly with my pets and home. My older boy recently passed and she cried right along with me and has constantly checked in on me to make sure im doing okay. She has loved my animals as her own which is so touching and really shows her love for all animals. It shows this is more than just a job for her, its a passion. I am a rover sitter myself and she has even recently taken over some of my sittings for me, which has been great and all my clients absolutely adore her! You wont find a better person to take care of your babies! Kristin is one of a kind!”
Antonia M.
“Antonia is someone I feel 100% confident and comfortable taking care of my dog. Wth her you know that your dog is safe and happy because she not only loves animals of all kinds, and has been a dog owner herself more than once, she knows what to do and what signs to look for if anything is wrong. Any dog is lucky to be walked by her.”

Wendy T.
“Wendy is the most loving and caring person I could ever ask for when it comes to entrusting my sweet dog. As a longtime pet owner, herself, everyone’s animals just gravitate to her naturally due to her gentle and kind demeanor. She has such a heart for our fur babies and there’s literally no one I’d trust more to watch over and care for a pet. Whether it would be a quick “can you keep an eye on” my Bandit, or for a weekend while I’d be out of town, I was always blessed with the comfort and complete assurance my baby was being paid attention to and loved on! Wendy is the absolute best.”
