Cat Sitting in Sauquoit

“She does a great job! Having the peace of mind that your furry family members are being taken care of while you are out of town or out of the country is a huge relief. Gabriella was amazing and we will use her in the future and recommend this to everyone.”

About: I've taken care of dogs as long as I can remember, but have been doing it as a side job since I was about 12. I love all dogs, whether they are big, small, old, or young. I am currently working in the morning and early afternoons, so evening and night (walks, check-ins, etc.) would be ideal for my schedule at the moment! I have a large unfenced yard and a jittery, but friendly pup that would love to get to know yours! I also have access to yards that are fenced in!:)

About: I have multiple friends who trust me to give their dogs an adventure and also be their dogs’ cuddle buddy on the couch. I do my best to know the individual(s) and their dogs to cater to their needs, whether their trips are short term or long term. I’ve dog sat in people’s home or my home and while the owner is gone, I have trained their dogs as well if needed or if they ask. I’m a communicative and intentional individual for the owners and the fur buddies. I make my own schedule for work so I can be as flexible as I need to be in order to care the pet. I keep a routine in my phone and calendar in order to give better intentional care for the pet(s). I do my best to help the pets become familiar with their surroundings, with me, and also help them by being a consistent and calm sitter for them. I can be firm and assertive, but also fun and goofy with them.

“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.”

“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.”

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: Hi, I’m Emily. I grew up with all kinds of pets and have always had animals in my life, so taking care of them just comes naturally to me. I’m starting school for radiology in September, so my schedule is pretty open right now and I’d love to help however I can. I’ve taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years, and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m reliable, patient, and careful to follow any instructions exactly as given. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities—whether they’re energetic, shy, or need a little extra care. I’m also respectful of your space and always aim to leave your home just as I found it. Communication is important to me, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule right now with full availability during the week and weekends, which allows me to focus on providing reliable pet care. Once I begin school this fall, I’ll continue to offer care on evenings and weekends. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or some one-on-one attention, I’m happy to help when you need it. I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m a pet owner myself and have animals at home, so I truly understand how much they mean to you. I always make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I follow instructions carefully, stick to routines, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m also respectful of your home and aim to make the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.

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.

“Very accommodating and helpful!”

About: I grew up in a house with 2 springer spaniels (and several other pets), one of which I'd received for my 9th birthday. I was completely responsible for training and caring for my own dog and really worked hard at it. She was such a pivotal part of my growing up years. Now many years later, I house and dog sit often for friends and really enjoy getting to know their pets. I have no dog of my own (although I do have two wonderful cats), my kids are grown and in college, and I have lots of energy and a pretty good amount of free time. I work full time in Clinton but rise early and have time prior to work, during lunch, and in the evenings. I love long walks! I've also taken great care of my own home so am happy to care for yours, your plants, a cat or two, what have you. Two in college so hoping to have fun with dogs and earn a bit of extra income!
