Personalized care for your dog or cat - Utica

“So thankful for Mary and her availability this weekend! We traveled in and needed somewhere for our fur baby to stay, and she was so willing on a last minute notice. The updates sent throughout the day reassured me he was in good hands! Her communication is clear and I know I’ll suggest in the future for any of our traveling friends in the future. Thank you again Mary ❤️ wishing many blessings for you!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life and have cared for just about every kind of pet you can imagine — dogs, cats, bunnies, chinchillas, birds, and more. Animals have always been a huge part of my home and my heart. I’m comfortable with all personalities, all sizes, and all needs. Your pet will be treated like family, because that’s the only way I know how to care for them. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a very flexible schedule and am available most days and times. I prioritize the pets I’m caring for, so I’m able to adjust my day around their needs — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or drop-in visits. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to accommodate last-minute or recurring bookings. I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely — feeding schedules, medication needs, crate routines, potty breaks, and preferred playtime activities. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-supervised, and I always take extra time for love, attention, and enrichment. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

“Taylor did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone. She was communicative and prompt--came home to a very happy cat.”

About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. I use to care for the dog that I ended up adopting. I can provide walks, food, baths, lots of cuddles, attention, and awareness of situations. I am very watchful. I work full time however, my house is less than a minute walk from my place of work so I can easily check-in as much as needed. I currently have a dog who I adopted and is just the sweetest thing. I have a medium-sized dog who likes most people and dogs. I can care for your pet in your home or my own. My dog is very capable of being by herself if she needs to be. I also am good at giving dogs long walks, providing attentive care, and plenty of exercise. I do not have a yard but I will right across from a huge open space that your dog will love to play in.

About: I have worked at a veterinary clinic and have administered medications and cared for healthy and/or sick animals. I love all animals and always will care for them.

“We're from out of town, brought our dog with us- last minute decided we wanted to go to the water park and needed someone to watch our dog for us. Mary was great and responded quickly to the request eventho it was late at night. We have never had anyone other than family watch our dog, so this was a great first experience for us!”

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals including livestock. I've owned dogs all my life & have been trusted by family & friends to watch over their furry loved ones. Your family member is my family member. I pay attention to their needs & make sure we have a good time! I own a spayed, female, lab mix. Her name is Shadow, she's about 6years old and adopted from a shelter in California. She loves to make new friends! We also have a 1yr old male cat in the home who is great with dogs & is usually outside roaming or sleeping in his room. We hope we get the chance to meet you & your pets! It's going to be a fun time! DISCLAIMER: I only board fully house trained family members & WILL NOT accept any aggressive dogs. Payment is required prior to or upon drop off. My schedule is very flexible and I do my best to accommodate my clients. Your pet must be well behaved around children, cats and other dogs. Preferred method of contact is via text. I live in a home with a roomy yard and we make trips to the dog park often! I have a truck where they can ride in the back but they are more than welcome to ride in the cab when it's cold! My son & I provide LOTS of cuddles!

About: I have a been a pet owner since I was born practically. From Bunnies, dogs, birds, hamsters, almost everything that can thrive a home! Growing up I always had 1-2 dogs in the house a time, all breeds too from small dogs to larger guard dogs. And of recent I have added farm animals to list of the last 3 years! I work 100% from home! So I am able to play, feed and love the animals all day long and give great exercise to them on the property. I have a black lab who is extra friendly with other dogs! I am able to also kennel your dog during the day when no one is in the home as well.

About: I have trained and owned animals my whole life. I graduated with a veterinary assistant degree from western Iowa tech in Sioux city Iowa. Animals are my world and I love working and hanging out with them daily. I own a dog and 2 cats and love to cuddle them and train them so they can become and live their best life possible. I can give all my animals baths, exercise, positive reinforcement and love anytime they need it. I have a huge back yard and love to play with them outside too.

About: As an athlete, I bring endless energy for active dogs. Having cared for dogs for years for my family and friends, I’m patient, detail-oriented, and attentive to every pup’s needs. I’m currently a senior in high school and work part-time. I am looking for something fun and interesting to do on the weekends! I’m usually available any time on the weekends and some days during the week. I prioritize safety by keeping pets on secure leashes during walks and following any specific care instructions provided. I build trust through clear communication and consistent attention to your pet’s needs. In your home, I ensure a clean, comfortable environment and respect your space while giving your pet the love and care that they deserve.
