Cat Sitting in Middleville

“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.”

About: Quality pet care, mixed with love, exercise, fun, and safety. That is what I'm all about. I have loved pets since was younger, and first started working with pets as a pet sitter/dog walker. I loved getting to know fur babies and what makes them happiest. I like bringing new buddies home for Lui and mostly I like helping people have a little more time by taking amazing care of their loved ones while at work. I'm happiest when I'm with my pup Lui. He's soon to be 2 years old and still is my spoiled little boy. The love I have for Lui is the love your baby will get when booking with me. We go on walks, we learn new tricks, and get lots of exercise! The more energy the better! I've also had experience dealing with pets with anxiety or aggressive tendencies. Not new to taking my time to build trust and offering a separate space to a dog who needs it. I have cameras in my house offer peace of mind that your loved one is safe & see all the fun we have when indoors, like TV time or tug of war. It's always a fun time and I'm always here for it. I organize my schedule mostly to work with pets full time, my work occupies me from 4 AM to about noon and work 5 minutes from my house with liberty to stop in at any point. Most days I am here through the mornings too so your furry loved ones get undivided attention. I only book dogs in time blocks of 5 hours, so I am never over crowded when it comes to boarding or day care. I like to be sure each pet is taken care of personally and effectively. Pet-Sitting: Often this service for me changes based on owner preference. It requires more in depth detail about the home life of the pet. One reason for this is to ensure I am not interrupting any routines the pet may have. Boarding & Day Care: I treat all pets as if they were my very best friend. We have tv time together (Dog TV), we go on two 30 minute walks within the 5 hour time block. We even eat meals together. Being that my yard is unfenced I personally walk the dogs on leash for 30-45 minutes. Meals for pets are based on owner specifications. Overnight boarding being different in a sense of they get one night walk before bed time/wind down time. They are uncrated (unless the owner specifies to do so), so they have full use of the living area and pets are allowed to be on the furniture purchased for them (Although I am not new to waking up and them being on the couch!)

“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 extensive experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve been caring for pets 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 pups 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'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 enrolled at Utica University completing my master's. I also coach U12 girls 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!

“She is reliable and kept the schedule. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again!”

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.

“Amber was wonderful with our large greater Swiss mountain dog! She was a great communicator and gave us a peace of mind while we were away! We will be using her services again!”

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.

“Friendly and reliable highly recommend!”

“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.”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ducks, ferrets, you name it and I've taken care of it! Animals are a passion of mine and through pet sitting I get to meet so many great animals. I have offered a verity of pet sitting services such as dog walking, house sitting and farm sitting. Through the 4 years I have been pet sitting I have watched and cared for both domestic pets, as well as farm animals, and I have a list of references to back up my work. I do have a local part time job so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to pet sitting. I am available to check in and care for your pets in the morning, afternoon, and at night. I am also available to watch pets overnight throughout the week and on weekends. I like to visit my clients home, and meet the animals I will be caring for prior to the service to ensure I am equipped to provide excellent care that makes the animal comfortable and healthy, as well as provide the client a piece of mind. I cater to how my clients want their animals cared for and treated, each home is different and I try my best to meet my clients standards.

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.
