“Heather did a wonderful job doing daily drop in visits for my two cats. She sent pictures and videos daily, and followed all of the instructions I left. I was able to relax knowing that my cats were being taken care of by someone who truly cares about animals. I highly recommend Heather!”

“I booked Kara on a fairly last minute notice. I had a house sitter while I was away but due to his work schedule I wanted to make it easier on him and less stressful on my dogs by keeping their feeding and outside schedule closer to what they are used to. Kara communicated very well and sent pictures daily when she was at the house. I would definitely consider her for additional services like walking or boarding.”

“Kendal was very reliable, flexible with drop-in times and very dependable. She sent pictures and kept us apprised of how Piper was doing each visit. I would definitely recommend her and we will definitely use her in the future.”

“Alexandria did an awesome job with dog sitting my 4 year old shihpoo. It was the first time I have left with someone unfamiliar and Alexandria put me at ease and sent me regular updates. Highly recommend Alexandria for petting services!”

“Katelyn was an enthusiastic and extremely competent sitter! She is a good communicator that got along well with our two cats and provided an excellent quality of care. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Great experience with Melinda :)! She made the effort to come beforehand fro a meet and greet and she was great with my cats. It was so nice to be away and not worry about my fur babies :).”

About: I have had multiple different pets through my entire life ranging from big to small. I have petsat multiple times throughout my life and in the past six months. I dogsat within the past two months, carrying for an elderly dog that required extra assistance and an adult dog. I’ve owned cats all 20 years of my life. I have a deep and immense passion for caring for them, and showing them attention as well as providing company to them. I live with three cats, ranging from kitten to senior cat, one a rescued stray. I provide them with the best life possible, with love and care. i have had ill pets that required medicine in the past, and administer medicine for my current cats routinely as well as basic care such as feeding, cleaning after, brushing, replacing food and water regularly, clipping their nails, letting them in and out of the house as needed, and bathing if needed. :) Each day I feed my 3 cats of all ages, and place out fresh multiple times throughout the day. I also regularly change the litter box, clip their nails, administer medicine such as flea prevention medication, and show them love and attention when they allow it. One of my cats requires patience and attention as she suffers from anxiety and does not like to be around people as a result.

“Gabriella dropped in to look after our 2 cats for us. She was very professional and even agreed to extend the booking by two days. I would definitely book with her again.”

About: I have been helping my sister with this for a while, trying the app on my own! I also have been taking care of animals since I was a young one, my household was always filled with animals from fur babies to reptiles to fish. However, I didn't just grow up with pets, I learned how to bond with them and really understand what it means to care for an animal. From playful to shy, I meet every animal where they are at and give them the love and attention. I also have experience working with animals from my time spent working at a pet store. I am reliable, communicative, and treat every pal like family. Rest assured your pal is in safe hands! I have open availability. Caring for animals is a peaceful part of my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks or check ins, I make time for them. For me, spending time with animals keeps me grounded and joyful. It's more than a job, it something I look forward to day to day. My home is calm, clean, and filled with love - pets settle in pretty easily after the owner departs. I make sure to stick to their usual routine, so your pal feels safe and secure. Whether they are here long term or just overnight every pal gets treated with 10/10 care!

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve been caring for cats since I was 5 years old, starting with my first cat, Rosie, and over time I’ve gained hands-on experience with both kittens and senior cats. I’ve raised four kittens (three rescues) myself, so I’m very familiar with the patience, attention, and consistency needed for young pets. Additionally, I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, through the care of my own pets and friends’. I have lots of experience caring for senior pets, including administering medications, managing special diets, and assisting with more advanced care such as subcutaneous (IV) fluids. Because of this, I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and can provide a higher level of care for pets with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. I work as a Medical Assistant full time on weekdays from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, but my evenings and weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m based in Utica and am happy to travel as needed for drop-in visits, walks, or longer stays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while being attentive to pets’ needs. I provide care either in my pet-friendly, secure residence (keycard access) or in the client’s home, depending on their needs. I am flexible and attentive to any special requests, and I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and managing special diets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.
About: I grew up around animals my entire life and have always had a genuine passion for caring for them. I have experience with both small and large breeds, from young puppies to large dogs like Great Danes, as well as cats. I’m comfortable caring for high-energy and hyper dogs and make sure they get the exercise, structure, and attention they need. I always follow your pet’s training, routines, and any special requirements to ensure consistent, safe, and loving care. I work from home, which allows me to be readily available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, and any special routines your pet may need. Your pet will never be left without care or attention. I don’t have children, which creates a calm and stress-free environment—ideal for pets who may not be accustomed to kids. I know several enclosed dog parks where dogs can safely play, socialize, and burn off energy. My home is clean, secure, and pet-friendly. If I stay at a client’s home, I also provide light cleaning services to maintain a tidy and comfortable environment. I have a reliable car for any emergencies or vet visits, and I am attentive, responsible, and committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable space for every pet.
About: My name is Jazmyn. I am a cat mom to a precious boy named Church. I am a former dog groomer, now working from home as a sales executive for a national recycling company. Beyond my 3 years in the grooming salon, I have also volunteered at the local animal shelter and have become a pet sitter for my family and friends. My work schedule is 9AM to 5PM, I can be available before 9AM and after 5PM. I am off work on weekends which gives me plenty of time for weekend walks/visits. I follow any and all instructions provided to me by pet parents. Feeding schedules, walking schedules, medication dosages, safety precautions, etc. These instructions will be followed to a T.
About: I’ve owned everything from dogs and cats to more exotic species such as ferrets and reptiles for 10 years. I’m studying to become a licensed veterinary technician, and am comfortable with more ‘behaviorally challenged’ animals or those that need more specific care. I like to be busy, so while I am not working at my job at a Veterinary Clinic, I’d love to be engaging with pets and pet parents. I pay attention to my surroundings and am not afraid to ask questions about what is or is not okay for the animal - ex. if they are allowed to go into a certain room, have a certain treat, etc.
About: I’ve taken care of many kinds of different dogs. Parents, friends and family have asked me to care for them while they’re gone. My childhood dog was boxer so have a lot of experience with that breed and I have a pit bull terrier of my own. I am currently home full time, so I’ll have a lot of free time to play and care for your fur babies. Considering I have lots of free time having a dog or a couple dogs to care for isn’t a problem for! I love all animals and treat them like my own! I have a partially fenced yard and a long 100+ ft chain that I could clip onto your dogs collar so they can roam around without getting lose/ running away, they will have their own food and water bowls and be taken out as needed. If your dog needs to be in a crate I have two at home that I could use. I also have a pup of my own that your dog can play with.
