Alana & Katherine are awesome. They send pics/video of their visit. It really gives me peace of mind when I have to go out of state. My cats like hiding under my covers when they hear strange/new noises/voices. They’ve started warming up to them during their third visit. More...

I have three dogs and a 6 month old baby, it's difficult to manage it all especially when you have a long day at work that makes it unable for you to stop home to let the dogs outside for a potty break. On top of that my baby doesn't enjoy nightly strolls due to his early bed time route which results in the dogs not getting the outside time that they deserve. It was incredibly lucky to find people like Alana and Katherine who took the time to come over, discuss all of my concerns (because it's hard to leave our fur babies in other people's hands). They were so thorough and didn't rush the process at all. My one dog, Barry, needs extra guidance with walking too. He has specific needs that not a lot of people are able to handle, but Katherine does it so effortlessly. My dogs scream with excitement when she comes over, and she is great with communicating how well they did and sending photos. It takes a lot of pressure off of me, and also gives my dogs the best time outside on their walks. Thank you Claws and Effect for giving me a peace of mind, while also loving my doggos! Will always be using you guys! More...

I absolutely love having Claws and Effect take care of my pup. He's a gimpy old senior who has different needs and they were happy to modify their care to ensure my boy was well cared for. I used them for dog walking, and they always followed up with a report and photo. And to add icing to the cake, they're a local, woman led business. My boy loves them and gives them 2 paws up!

There are not enough positive words to say about Kath and Alana. Prior to starting my new job I was feeling guilty about my dog being left home for long periods of time, but also nervous about putting him in inexperienced hands. A meet and greet with the two of them quickly put all of my worries at ease. They are so knowledgeable and really pick up on each individual dog’s quirks. My boy loves them and I look forward to their picture updates every day! More...

Katherine is amazing! She came to our home and worked with our 3 year old Yorkie and showed us what to do to help her separation anxiety. Our girl is improving so much. Thank you Katherine for everything!! If you are looking for a dog trainer who is knowledgeable and who really cares, call Claws and Effect! More...

Claws and Effect, Inc. was recommended to us to help with a barking problem we HAD with our 16 month old male Maltese, who loved to bark out the window at everything; other dogs, people, squirrels, blowing leaves, whatever. Katherine came to our house and explained and demonstrated what we need to do. We practiced a couple of times and after she left, to our surprise, he did not bark the rest of the night. Then, day 2, 3 and 4 - still no incessant barking. We are very, very pleased. Thanks for being there, Katherine! More...

100x better than boarding your pet in a facility where they arnt really watched, the people that work in thise places care about $8 an hour worth of care. Dont stress your pet boarding them (putting your pet in a "daycare" is one of the most traumatizing and confusing things for them, watch some YouTube vids of behind the scenes on what happens at those places) Alana and company treat your pet like their own and my dog ended up getting taught a few new tricks as a bonus :) 100% best pet sitters I've used in Buffalo and I travel 6 months out of the year.

I randomly found this company and had to leave my special needs cat for a few days...couldn't have asked for better help. They went above and beyond, sending pictures and updates, and allowed me to vacation knowing my pet was taken care of by people who truly care!
