About: Volunteering at shelters and owning an array of pets throughout my life helps me understand fully how to care for a creature. I've never turned away an animal and have worked with nursing birds, rodents, bunnies, and kittens back to health after rescuing them. I also love working with exotic pets like amphibians or reptiles, but mainly I board and walk dogs! I'm very good at reading body language and training stubborn dogs, and working with animals full time would be a dream career. Right now I'm studying premedicine / ecology at UA and taking care of animals over the summers to save money for school! Going to Albany on the 24th! Until then I can board, but afterwards I'm switching my location and removing boarding from my services as I'll be on campus. Large yard with electric fence and 2 extra collars for a medium dog. Home with 3 accessible stories, dog food, treats, litter box, toys and plenty of enrichment. Dog beds and human beds for sleeping, large safe neighborhood for walks!!

“This was my first time using anyone outside of family to watch my dog so I was a little nervous as to how it would go. I must say that Gabriella was great! From the pictures she sent me I could tell my dog was happy to see and interact with her! I will definitely use Gabriella for future visits.”

“Melinda was wonderful with our girls. We have a very fresh Frenchie and Melinda was great with her. She was very communicative and sent super cute pics. Will definitely book her again.”

“Cassie took amazing care of my cats while we were away! She kept us updated daily with reports and pictures and gave them some extra attention. I came back home to two happy and healthy cats!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for a long time. It started when I was young, probably around the age of 10, but of course I couldn't drive, so my mom had to help out. I have always had a love for animals, and I always will. I am currently a college student studying childhood education and psychology, along with playing soccer. That may sound like I have a pretty busy schedule, but since I live at home, it is not bad at all. I am also a substitute teacher, which allows me to choose when I work based on how my schedule looks for that given week. Pet safety is of the utmost importance to me. Families are relying on me to care for their beloved animals while away for a day or a few days. Playing outside or relaxing inside are all things I love to do, based on the dog's needs. Walks are always fun, too!

About: Highly skilled and experienced dog sitter with a proven track record of delivering exceptional care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My expertise includes managing daily routines, from feeding and exercise to administering medications and handling special needs. I excel in maintaining a structured environment that promotes safety, comfort, and happiness for dogs while their owners are away. Known for my reliable and attentive approach, I have a strong ability to build trust with both pets and their owners. My dedication to ensuring each dog's well-being and providing personalized care sets me apart as a top-notch dog sitter. I’m available everyday of the week. Currently living with 3 cats and love them to death. It’s a hobby of mine to take care animals I provide exceptional pet care both in my home and at clients' homes, tailored to meet each pet's unique needs. In my home, I ensure a safe and stimulating environment with dedicated spaces for play, rest, and exercise, adhering to each pet’s routine and dietary requirements. At clients’ homes, I maintain their established routines, respecting their space and following detailed instructions to provide consistent care. My approach includes attentive feeding, regular exercise, and timely medication administration. I prioritize clear communication with pet owners to ensure peace of mind and address any specific needs or concerns.

About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs. I currently have two pups and a kitty. My friends and family consider me the go-to caretaker when needed. I prefer pets over most people 🐶🐱 I work full-time. I work in the Utica area on Mondays and Thursdays. I am available most times for drop-ins/walks on those nights, in the Utica area. My schedule will reflect my true availability. I will never accept a job that my schedule will not allow for, as pets deserve the best care! I live on almost 2 acres of land with fields around. I will always use a leash for all safety concerns until told otherwise. I have crate trained all of my dogs throughout my life, therefore feel comfortable crating but only if requested. I will request instructions as all pets have different needs. I will be sure to always follow instructions given.

“Emily is a Delight! She’s prompt, thorough & very personable! The pictures she sent each day of my 2 furbuddies were so reassuring & funny. I really think there was some serious disappointment on their faces when I walked in instead of Emily!”

About: I have a Wildlife Biology degree as well as having previous veterinary clinic experience working with all animals.

Taking care of my fur baby when I’m not at work is of great importance to me. Her happiness will always fit into my schedule no matter how busy I get. Make sure they are fed and have access to continuous amounts of water. Always have some fun time with some toys and walks. Will not leave them until they are satisfied and happy.

About: Experienced Dog mom. Dog is God spelled backwards. Which is probably why I love dogs more than I do people. It’s been this way since I was a kid. A dog love and bond is just different. I have a 3 year old daughter who love Dogs as much as I do. She wants to pet every dog she sees. Dogs must be friendly with children, or I cannot be of service. Self employed so I’m home most of time. Free to be a companion to a lovable fur friend. While pet parents work or go on vacation I have a back porch deck with yard space. I am also close to a park where we can go play and let out some energy

We’re hands-on, experienced, and genuinely care about helping your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved. We don’t have any pets of our own (just our daughter’s goldfish 🐠) so your pet gets our full attention! What You Can Expect ✅ 1–3 photo updates per day ✅ Personalized routines ✅ Several daily walks ✅ Tons of affection (if wanted!) ✅ Low-stress, quiet home ✅ Gentle, patient settling-in process ✅ Medication administration (if needed) 🧡 Specialized Add-On Care We offer extra support for pets with higher needs (please select at booking): Anxiety Support: +$50/night Puppy Supervision: +$50/night Senior Care: +$50/night Medical/Special Needs: +$50/night ✨ Optional Add-Ons Brush-Outs: $15–$50 FaceTime Check-ins: $15 (15 min) High-Energy Playtime: $60 (1 hour) Extra Updates: $10 each Home-Cooked Meals: $25/day 🧼 Other Fees (Only If Needed) Cleaning (Excessive Accidents): $20 Per Accident Damage: Cost of repair Emergency Vet Transport: $50 + vet cost or transfer to emergency contact 📋 Drop-Off & Behavior Policy At your meet-and-greet or drop-off, we’ll ask you to sign a brief form outlining our policies. We’ve worked with pets with mild to moderate anxiety, but we cannot accept pets with severe separation anxiety or behaviors that require 24/7 supervision — those pets must be picked up immediately due to causing high-tension and stressful situations for both your pet, and our family. We do not accept pets with: 🚫 Aggression or reactivity 🚫 Destructive behavior 🚫 Ongoing house-training issues 🚫 Unsafe behavior around children 🚫 Excessive barking, howling, whining 🚫 Inability to be left alone briefly for long stays 🚫 Have owners who are unresponsive to urgent concerns 🚨 Undisclosed Behavior Fees: Severe Separation Anxiety: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Excessive Barking: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Aggression or Reactivity: Immediate pickup or $250/Night Unsafe Around Kids: Immediate pickup or $250/Night 💛 Why This Matters We’re calm, patient, and truly love caring for animals — but on rare occasions, we’ve had difficult experiences with neglectful pet owners that created unsafe or stressful situations. That’s why we’ve set clear boundaries: to protect the peaceful, loving environment we’ve built and to prioritize clients who respect their pets and us — especially with a young child in our home. These policies aren’t meant to discourage who we service at our core - amazing loving pet parents. They simply help filter out mismatches so we can focus on what we do best: giving your pet a safe, happy, and loving stay. Thank you for understanding, and supporting care rooted in honesty, trust, and love. Availability: Joshua works full time from home, and Kaitlin stays home full time so we tend to have open availability to care for your loved pets. Limitations: ❌ No aggressive animals ❌ No animals with fleas currently ❌ No animals who are not child friendly ❌ Must have proof of rabies vaccines for dogs ❌ Must regularly check dogs or cats for ticks ❌ No animals with severe anxiety (unless discussed prior)

About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I was a child I had all sorts of different pets. I had fish, hamsters, gerbils, lizards and rabbits. When I got older I had a family dog named Lulu who I helped house brake and train as a pup when I was in high school. When I became an adult I adopted my dog Weston who I’ve had and trained since he was an eight week old puppy. I’m very confident in my ability to help house train your young dog if need be. I understand how much stimulation and exercise they require. I’m happy to provide that through long walks, trips to the dog park and general outings. I have lots of chew toys around and ways to keep feisty puppies occupied. I’ve fostered cats as well as taken care of neighbors’ kittens including providing feedings and litter box cleaning when necessary. I’ve always wanted to have a parrot as a pet so if you have birds that need care I’d appreciate the opportunity to come help out and learn more about them :). I’m currently a full time pet sitter. I have a dog of my own as well. I will be available all hours of the day and night to care for your animal(s). I’m happy to spend the extra time taking puppies in training as well as senior dogs outside as much as they need. I have a friendly golden doodle named Weston to keep your pup company. I’m happy to help house brake puppies as well as provide care for senior animals.
