Cat Sitting Utica

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, caring for all kinds of breeds from small lap dogs to larger, more energetic pups so I’m comfortable meeting the needs of dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also pay attention to subtle changes in behavior or mood so I can adjust my care to what your dog needs in the moment. My family and friends often ask me first to watch their dogs because they know I will take care of both their pets and their home as if they were my own. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, and providing attention and reassurance. I follow any instructions you provide to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work a consistent weekday schedule (8am-5pm), but I make time for pet care before and after work, and can do a midday check-in during my lunch break with a little advance notice. Your pet will still get regular attention, care, and company throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I always make it a priority to respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I know how important consistency is and I do my best to keep things calm and familiar while you’re away. I’m very mindful about things like securely locking doors, keeping a clean environment, and making sure your pet stays safe and comfortable at all times. I’m very respectful of your home and will always leave things as I found them. I pay close attention to details and will follow any instructions you provide, whether that’s feeding routines, medications, or specific preferences your pet has. I will also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. At this time, I offer care in clients’ homes only, which allows pets to stay in their own comfortable, familiar environment.

“My dogs were so well taken care of that I think they're ready for us to leave again. Excellent communication, followed our instructions, and sent us tons of pictures. Highly recommend and will definitely use them again!”

“Elizabeth has taken care of our kitties several times, and she always does a wonderful job! We love the detailed daily updates and the super cute photos she includes! She will always be our #1 pick for sitter!”

Kristine & Andy B.

“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”

“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”

Bri G.

“Thanks for everything Tiffany. You did a great job with Martin and Maxx. Thank-you”

“Penny is amazing! Our pup took right to her and is always super excited to see her. She’s been amazing to work with and I could not recommend her more!”

“Joanna had been so nice and loving to our kitties when we were away. She paid attention to every detail and took great care. She spent good time playing with my cats, petting them and giving them lots of love and attention. I was able to put my mind at peace, trusting Joanna with my fur babies. Totally recommend her. ❤️”

About: I am the biggest animal lover and I would agree that they love me just as much! I am a babysitter and I work as a substitute in the GCCS school system. (Requests outside of my radius may require a travel fee) I am a substitute teacher so with that I do not have to work every single day which gives me extra free time for pet care! I offer care for pets in a clients home by following all instructions and respecting my clients space, boundaries and pets. I understand how much fur babies mean!

About: I own my own dog, who is well trained, along with caring for neighbors dogs, and training. I have puppy sat at my own home for multiple nights. In my free time I watch a lot of dog training videos and love to do animal research. I enjoy cats while I do have limited experience. I am a full time college student however, I have my evenings free on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and weekends work great for me as well. I love training and I am extremely passionate about animals research so I love to learn more. I am detail oriented, and I have a dog of my own and have pet sat before so I have experience. I am really good with communication and respond frequently and in a timely manner, and I am relatively flexible with timing if need be.

“Missy was super amazing and took amazing care of our 2 cats! I could really tell that she cared about them. Updated with pictures and an update everyday. Would totally book again!”

Noah R.

“Eleanor watched my kitty while I was away and she was amazing!!! Always communicated what was going on and sent me pictures each day to update me! I will rebook her anytime I need a pet sitter, I highly recommend working with her! 😊”

Hannah P.

“Mitzi is absolutely amazing. She sent me pictures of my baby boy during visits. Which were always an absolute delight to receive. I know my baby boy is in good hands. She also provided some general observations for me to follow up on.”

“First of all, I am not only a worried dog/cat mom; I am also a veterinarian. In other words, I am very picky with the care of my fur babies. I have used Miranda for my pet sitting needs before so I knew she was excellent. This time she also rose to the occasion. It was the Fourth of July. Even though she was only scheduled for drop by's, she stayed with my babies during the whole of firework hours on the 5th when she realized how scared they were on the 4th. She also cleaned up after they made a huge mess with litterbox; everything was spotless when I arrived home. I was able to communicate with her the whole time, easing my apprehensions about leaving them. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her as a sitter for anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative individual.”

About: What started off as a favor for a friend turned into a genuine love for all pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the guilt and sadness that comes with leaving your fur baby with a stranger, so it is my mission to make sure that the owner as well as the pet feel comfortable enough to put their trust in me. I am a student with a part time job. I have available time for any animal with any need. Evenings or even night walks are perfect. Boundaries are important, not only for the owner before the pet as well. That is always my top priority. As well as treating a pet as my own.

“Fatima took such good care of my kitty! And never failed to send updates and tons of photos! I could not recommend her enough as someone to trust to take care of your fur baby❤️❤️”

About: I adopted a rambunctious shelter cat 5 years ago. She’s a wild child with a big personality! And I took in a stray cat about 2 years ago, who needed lots of care, including surgeries, food insecurity behaviors, etc. I’ve cared for cats my entire life, but these 2 girls have taught me how to handle the extremes. I am very knowledgeable about cats and their needs, and I can promise you, your baby will be taken care of as if they were my own (aka like perfect princess angels that I’d go to war for) I work from home, so I can immediately take care of any and all needs. I frequently check on my 2 cats, and have no issue stepping away from my desk if needed. In my home: My 2 cats have their own bedroom, catered to their playtime and nap time. They have free rein of the house, and are very welcoming to other cats. They are up to date on vaccinations and vet care, and they do not go outside for their safety. In your home: I will treat your pet(s) as if they were my own, with kindness and patience. I will follow your routine. I will be sure to change my clothes and take off my shoes to avoid any anxiety from smells of my own pets.

About: I grew up with multiple pets, we often called it the "Cook Family Zoo". I've helped take care of many cats, dogs, turtles, fish and even ferrets at one point! I currently have two dogs a terrier/cattle dog mix and a German shepherd/lab mix puppy! They both are rescues and love to cuddle. I volunteer with a local dog rescue and am a proud foster fail. :) I’m passionate about protecting all furry friends and finding the perfect home for each loving animal. I love all animals, big or small, and do my best to be flexible and communicate with you quickly and thoroughly. I hope you will consider me to help take care of your loved ones and I will be sure to give them lots of love while you're away. Currently working full time but have availability on weekends and most evenings to help out! I also have flexibility at work so depending on your needs can make drop in visits and walks during the day. I work from home occasionally too so I can usually be flexible as needed. If visiting your home I would respect your wishes around routine training, diet and behavior. I typically provide photos and/or text updates of your pet so you know they’re doing well and we’ll looked after even when you’re not able to be there!

“It was great having Kristine drop in to hang out with Bodi for an hour each day last week. She was communicative, professional, and left detailed report cards for her visits. She took Bodi on a walk one day to the park when our backyard was unavailable due to contractors fixing the fence post wind storm. We appreciate her flexibility and care.”
