Ashley was amazing, she came and picked up our pup Na’Vi for a walk. Na’Vi was happy to have another furry friend tag along and she came home happy and tired. Thank you for taking her!

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!!

About: We have a 3+ acres fully fenced yard space. There is a tangiable metal mesh and wood, reinforced, fence AND a tandem electric fence that we can train your pet to if requested. Double saftey set up so that our own animals, and yours, can run free on the sprawling yard and play in various bushy "jungle gyms" :) We are experienced in caring many breeds, ages, needs, and types of animals. Open to any and all! Animals are our passion and we can take any situation and care request in stride, because we get it and have been there! I can fit my schedule around your pets needs! No seriously, self employed and fully flexible. Our own animals are never alone more than 5 hours at a time and more often I am home all day. With advance request I can provide 24/7 care for young or high need pets. Animals come first in our home, always <3 We have a large property with 3 acres fully fenced in for our own dogs. Their personal dog park and playground! They can enter and exit at will; yours too if appropriate. We can also have eyes on them at all times depending on your pets needs. Inside they have free run of couches and dog beds. We have a side by side queen bed sleeping arrangement so everyone can pile in. If needed, we also have a spare room that can serve as a private space if your pet is overwhelmed and I can personally cuddle them while our own crew hangs with my hubby. We have several animal care professionals we work with closely. Including emergency vet services, terriers, groomers, and more. We understand what it takes to trust your fur baby to someone else! It's one of our own biggest hurdles and anxieties when we travel. You can be assured that your pet will be given the care and attention they need to feel safe and loved, on they same level we shower or own fur babies <3

Dennis is personable, prompt, and flexible. He offers a variety of services for your canine companion. I appreciated his very thoughtful observation of my dog’s body language, behavior, and preference cues - Elliot can take a moment to warm up to new friends and lives to play with his flirt stick. I would, without reservation, recommend Dennis as your walker, play date companion, and house sitter.

About: Dog Boarding, Training, and Socializing Services A Vacation for You and a Life-Changing Experience for Your Fur Baby Welcome to our home-away-from-home experience for dogs. If you’re looking for a loving, fun, and structured environment for your pet, you’ve come to the right place. I joined Rover to provide a true home experience while you’re away. Here, dogs rule the house, enjoying sofas, loveseats, and a variety of comfortable dog beds. I prepare fresh meals daily for my pack, and while your dog is here, they’ll enjoy a portion alongside their own food. These meals include fresh chicken, rice, coconut oil, scrambled eggs, and veggies, prepared like a giant omelet. We’re happy to adjust for special dietary needs—just let us know in advance about allergies or sensitivities. What We Offer Dog Boarding: Safe, structured, and loving care in a real home environment. Dog Training: Building obedience, confidence, and adaptability through proven techniques. Dog Socializing: Encouraging friendly behaviors with supervised play, group activities, and enriching outings. Community Seminar: Join us for “Creating the Best Family Dog” each month at Pet Supplies Plus in New Hartford. Why Choose Us? Tailored Care Your dog’s daily schedule will match your routine as closely as possible. Whether it’s specific walk times, meal preferences, favorite toys, or exercise habits, we’ll create a personalized experience. Activity & Enrichment Our property is designed for fun and stimulation. Dogs can explore ramps, steps, and jumping platforms for mental and physical exercise. For older or less active dogs, we offer short walks and relaxing options in sunny or shady spots. Social dogs will enjoy group play and enrichment every day. Safety First To ensure a secure environment, all dogs must be well-trained and friendly with people and other dogs. Unsupervised dogs will rest in a comfortable, enclosed 8’x6’ carpeted area with a doorless crate during feeding and downtime. Our Pack My four rescued dogs from Guatemala create a welcoming environment for every guest: Cypress: The playful pack leader who loves to run and chase. Nala: The calm house director and couch queen. Dhurva: The observant food-finder who joins play in her own time. Ginny: The happiest and most playful spirit, connecting with every dog she meets. Together, they serve as companions and mentors for visiting dogs, making every stay enriching and fun. Our Expertise With years of experience working with dogs, I’ve developed enrichment programs for shelters and municipalities in Guatemala, Mexico, and New York. My background includes rehabilitating, fostering, and finding adoption solutions for sick and injured street dogs. I’m also skilled in: Oral and Injected Medication Administration First Aid/CPR Special Needs and Senior Dog Care Puppy Training and More Booking Your Dog’s Stay Before your first boarding, we’ll schedule a meet-and-greet to ensure your dog feels comfortable and assess their needs. We provide everything your pet will need, from beds to toys; just bring their food. Making a Difference A percentage of every booking supports dog rescue projects in Guatemala, Mexico, and New York, including Perros Libres, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Guatemala dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating street dogs. Contact Us If you have any questions or want to book services, don’t hesitate to reach out. Let us provide your dog with a fun-filled, enriching experience while giving you peace of mind. Helping Families and Dogs Thrive Together We specialize in creating well-rounded family dogs, helping them adapt and excel whether they’re from rescues, shelters, or breeders. Our programs are designed to ensure your dog can go anywhere and do anything with confidence. For local and visiting families in Clinton, New Hartford, Utica and surrounding communities, we’re here to make life with your furry friend even better! I work with dogs full time! I am always available to answer your questions 7 days a week! My routine begins just after sunrise with a long walk with my dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl from household pets to anything out in the pastures. I have a Border Collie of my own, Winston, and 2 horses that are experts at keeping me on my toes!! I completely understand how hard it can be to give your pets the attention they deserve, let me take that stress away for you! I currently work from home and would love to spend my free time making sure your pets are properly taken care of! I have early morning and mid afternoon or later availability! I have a big open yard that is not fenced (Winston is very familiar with the boundaries). I have experience crating and tie outs if that is what you desire!

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 currently have a 9 year old lab and had a lab for ten years before him. 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 walk my dog every morning. My father and mother are both home and can give your pet extra love, attention and help when needed. I have a 7 year old male lab who loves everyone and is great with other animals.

About: Hi! We’re a loving family offering calm, attentive pet care in a peaceful home. We know how hard it is to find sitters who truly treat your pets like family — that’s what we’re here for. 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: Hey! My name is Alyssa. I currently have a full time job(police officer) and I understand the hassle of trying to find someone to walk my dogs while I am at work. Although I love my dogs, I do like to go away every so often and struggle to find dog daycares I trust. I treat my dogs (Titus/Leo) like my children and I will treat other peoples companions the same. I’m currently looking to give my awesome services to those who need them! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be free during the day hours 7am-9pm, making it easier for me to care for dogs during the day/ evening time. My dogs are walked 4-5 times a day and are fed twice a day. 2 of the daily walks tend to be atleast one mile or longer if the weather permits. My dogs have an abundance of toys and get a toy everytime I go to the store.

Kirsten O. Has the greatest asset for caring for animals - she knows and understands how important they are in our lives. She is also a responsible adult, follows directions and keeps in touch as necessary for our comfort level to keep pets close when we have to be far away. I know this from personal experience. Recently life circumstances dictated a sudden change in my life and the lives of my menagerie of two horses, two dogs and four cats. We were able to move the entire herd for the winter with the exception of one cat. Kirsten O. Stepped up and cared for him for three weeks until we could return to collect him. I am forever grateful that she is in my life. And so is Grampy, the cat!! She is excellent with dogs from small to large, has a good work ethic and takes pet responsibility seriously. Thank you, Kirsten O for a job well done and hope it helps with your Rover career!

Jessica has held an intense love for animals for as long as I have know her (over a decade!). This love translates to near-unparalleled attention for all animals in her care. Dogs, cats, birds, goats, or horses; Jessica knows her stuff and will always do what is right by the animal. She also has a kind, sunny personality that means she is pleasant and easy to talk to. Every animal I have left with her has come back to me safe and sound. Even my more difficult cat seemed to hate her less than he does everyone else in the universe (which is impressive considering he barely even likes me and I’ve had him since he was a kitten). All that is to say; Jessica can be trusted to care for your animals safely and with care.

Michelle took amazing care of our pets — Marlo, Mika, Gaia, and Mila — while we were away. She provided walking, feeding, and overnight care, and we couldn’t have asked for a more professional and attentive caregiver. From the start, Michelle was communicative and informative, keeping us updated and ensuring we felt confident that our pets were in good hands. Her calm and friendly demeanor made it clear she genuinely cared about our animals’ well-being. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little girl from household pets to anything out in the pastures. I have a Border Collie of my own, Winston, and 2 horses that are experts at keeping me on my toes!! I completely understand how hard it can be to give your pets the attention they deserve, let me take that stress away for you! I currently work from home and would love to spend my free time making sure your pets are properly taken care of! I have early morning and mid afternoon or later availability! I have a big open yard that is not fenced (Winston is very familiar with the boundaries). I have experience crating and tie outs if that is what you desire!

Emma has loved pets since she was very little. She takes amazing care of her own dog and would have many others if she could. Always the first one to offer to take care of animal if needed. She is very gentle and loving towards animals.

Heather is a very caring woman. She is responsible, kind, loving and motivated. She will do her absolute best to take care of your animals, and she will take care of them like her own! She has a ton of knowledge and experience and uses it wisely. She reads and understands animals very well and knows how to adapt to different personalities and handles them well. I recommend Heather highly. I trust her with all of my animals!

About: Hi! We’re a loving family offering calm, attentive pet care in a peaceful home. We know how hard it is to find sitters who truly treat your pets like family — that’s what we’re here for. 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: Hey! My name is Alyssa. I currently have a full time job(police officer) and I understand the hassle of trying to find someone to walk my dogs while I am at work. Although I love my dogs, I do like to go away every so often and struggle to find dog daycares I trust. I treat my dogs (Titus/Leo) like my children and I will treat other peoples companions the same. I’m currently looking to give my awesome services to those who need them! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to be free during the day hours 7am-9pm, making it easier for me to care for dogs during the day/ evening time. My dogs are walked 4-5 times a day and are fed twice a day. 2 of the daily walks tend to be atleast one mile or longer if the weather permits. My dogs have an abundance of toys and get a toy everytime I go to the store.
