House Sitting in New York Mills

“Melinda was wonderful! She was extremely responsive and communicated often with photos during her service. Having Melinda stay in our home with our large dog, Luka, was the perfect fit! I was very impressed how comfortable he was with her right away and settled right in during the stay. Thank you Melinda for the peace of mind that our baby was well cared for while we were away!”

About: My name is Tim Borza and I was born and raised right outside Utica, NY. I’ve been watching pets for the last 7 years, with the last 3 being back in the Utica area. I had a dog growing up, and currently have one of my own now. I am open to all services, but primarily care for dogs in my own home in Whitesboro, NY. I own my own business so I am on my own schedule making for dog care very easy. I am able to provide bathrooms breaks and go for walks at inconvene times if needed. I have a fenced in yard and live by myself making for a relaxing, comfertable and playful environment. I also own a dog of my own with a great temperament and have been caring for dogs for years.

“I'm very satisfied with Alex house sitting today and taking good care of my little girl, Lucy. She was very attentive to her needs and also cleaned my house. I happily recommend Alex and will definitely call on her again in the future.”

About: I have been around animals my entire life and love every furry friend like they’re my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including high energy puppies, senior dogs, and anxious personalities. I’ve raised my own dogs from puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love that go into caring for them at every stage of life. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, and making sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just cuddles, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. I understand firsthand how important it is to trust someone, so I always prioritize communication, reliability, and a calm, positive environment. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home. I’m available throughout the day for walks, feedings, playtime, and potty breaks. Being home allows me to give pets consistent attention instead of leaving them alone for long periods. At my home, I have a small fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. Safety is always my top priority, and I keep a structured, calm environment while still making sure they get plenty of love and attention. I also have three friendly pugs who are well socialized and used to being around other dogs, so your pup will have built-in companionship and playmates (if they enjoy other dogs!). I always introduce dogs slowly and make sure everyone is comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their exact routine including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate time, and house rules to keep things as consistent and stress-free as possible. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved whether they’re in my home or theirs.

“Sophia is amazing, she took care of our dogs for five days and I’ve never felt so calm of leaving them with someone before. She followed instructions, asked questions, gave so much love to the dogs, sent pictures for updates and overall was very sweet. Will definitely be booking her for our next trip!”

About: My name is Flor, I'm dependable and truly believe there is no better company than your pets. I've cared for dogs for around 2 years now, I try to get to know as best as I can to make them feel comfortable. I have various pet toys and sleeping beds, I want the to feel at home. I mostly work on weekends, that way I can give them all of my attention. I believe a good walk and exercise are key to a happy and healthy pet. I believe pets have a beautiful soul and only ask for love and attention, being there for them truly makes their day. Allow me to be that person who is there for your pet and cares for them like you would!

“We lucked out that Kendal was available at the last minute. She is engaging both to dogs and people, and we truly enjoyed meeting her. Don’t hesitate to hire her; she was truly devoted and caring to our lab Zia.”

About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs, and caring for them has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I always make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I'm currently a full-time graduate student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate drop-ins and walks throughout the week. I also have availability on select weekends for house stays, depending on my class workload and schedule. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I make sure collars and harnesses are secure before walks, and I double-check that all doors are properly closed after each visit. I also ensure that gates and fences are fully secured before letting dogs outside to prevent any escapes or accidents.

About: I have taken care and loved pets almost my whole life. I have helped family, friends, and neighbors take care of their pets such as walking, feeding, and simply just showing them love. It fits in very good, I am almost always free and will make time if I need to. I will be busy for a few hours for certain days but can be there everyday on my free time. I will treat them with love and respect as they are my own. I will respect my clients house and rules at all times and do what is in the best interest of the pet and owner.

About: I have loved animals since before I can remember and have grown to love them even more in my adulthood. You can depend on me to provide excellent care and exceptional service, giving you peace of mind that your pets are safe and happy while you are away or just in need of a helping hand! I understand animal behaviors, the specific questions you need to ask to comprehend the needs of each pet, and also have the skills + experience to handle pets that are not completely friendly or uncomfortable around people they don't know. I am of course willing to meet beforehand. Currently, I am looking for any opportunities to further my pet sitting experience! I also accept same-day bookings in the case you are in need of pet care as soon as possible. I have two cats of my own, they are turning three this year and they are the best part of my days. As for dogs, I have one Maltese/Shih-Tzu named Finn :-) He is going to be turning 5 in September. He is extremely sweet and loves a cuddle. I have pet-sat for my aunt who has 5 dogs throughout my whole life. Their house consists of 3 large dogs, one medium size dog, and a small dog. Therefore, I have the experience caring for a variety of breeds and animals of different personalities. I am willing to crate if needed and can accommodate for any special feeding requests!

About: I would love to be there for your friend when you can not be. Living with my best friend Peanut a Bichon I know how important it is to ensure our animal friends are in the best care. I don't know what I'd do without him. I am an animal rights advocate and love our little furry angels so much that I am caring for them full time now. I am self employed and am adding this to my artist work. This makes it possible for me to work around others schedules as best as I can or even for a last minute sitting need. I don't leave my dog outside alone and would do the same with yours. I consider dogs as toddlers in a way smart but needing guidance and protection to keep them safe. I can accommodate any requests for in your home, for outings, and for boarding at my house. I have one dog living with me now and would separate them if there was any issues. Peanut is very playful at a year and a half and not aggressive.

About: I've taken care of and raised several animals in my life. Everything from cats and small breeds like pugs up to New Foundlands and shepherds. Senior care and puppy training have always been something I enjoy I'm currently working from home so I will always have time to care for your fur babies at anytime regardless if it's day or night I always treat my pets and others pets with love and respect. All toe beans will be in a safe and friendly environment because taking care of animals has always been an obsession

“We are so glad we booked Olivia to stay with our dog. We came home to a very happy pup and very neat house. We look forward to booking with her in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. Neighbors, friends and family have allowed me to take care of their dogs for years. I've had two labs in the past and currently have a 1 1/2 year old lab who is my heart and soul. Currently I am available all day and every day of the week. I am looking for a new job doing something I love to do. We have a large backyard but it’s not fenced in. I can take the dog out on a leash if needed. There is a park near my house where I can take dogs for a long walk during the day if needed. I currently do pet sitting as my full time job so I am always interacting with dogs daily and have regulars that I see everyday. My home has a large backyard but no fence but I take the dogs out on a leash when needed. In a clients home depending on their yard situation I will let them outside and keep an eye on them or let them out on a leash.

About: I have cared for pets for over 10 years now and every time is a truly unique experience. I cherish experienceing animal behavior and building strongs with pet and their owners alike. I am able to provide consistent, nigh-quality pet care each morning before 7am and every evening after 3pm Monday through Friday. I am available anytime on weekends When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible. This includes timely feeding, walks whether that be in their backyard, neighborhood, or taking them to a park, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love! I keep your home clean and your pet happy, providing regular updates so you can travel with peace of mind.

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.
