Dog Sitting Utica

About: I’ve been caring for dogs through personal pet-sitting and have developed a strong understanding of their daily needs, routines, and behaviors. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving pets the same care and attention I would give my own! As a college student who’s currently on summer break, I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention and affection. I can happily care for your furry companions most flexibly at times of 7-5 on week days and most of Saturdays and Sundays with plenty of room for overnights and weekly stays! I understand how important it is to trust somebody else with your pet, and I like to take that responsibility very seriously. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and special instructions given to me by owners to ensure the best possible care. Communication is crucial so I enjoy sending updates by phone to clients so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. When going outside, dogs will always be leashed with eyes on them AT ALL TIMES!

“The drop in visits helped us a lot. She cleaned up some messes our beagles made, which is much appreciated.”

About: I have loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember, and I'm lucky to say that my home has never been pet-free! From dogs to hedgehogs to the cats I care for today, my lifelong experience with pets has been filled with joy and companionship. My love for animals has also given me experience caring for the pets of friends and family, in addition to my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I strive to provide care that is tailored to each individual animal. My goal is to help pets feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. As a dedicated college student who works part-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for pets throughout the week. I prioritize communication and careful planning of my responsibilities to ensure that the pets I care for receive the attention and companionship they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I take the time to learn and closely follow each pet's unique routine, preferences, and any special care instructions to keep them safe and happy while their owners are away. Having five indoor cats of my own, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for and protecting beloved pets, and I bring that same level of attentiveness to every animal in my care. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with the same level of care, patience, and attention. My goal is not only to provide pets with reliable care, but also to provide owners with peace of mind.

About: I have owned dogs and cats and love them like children. I love to play and cuddle with them. I am good at spoiling them and also make sure they get their routine checkups. Also have had their teeth cleaned and use flea prevention. I have taken care of multiple dogs and cats over the years on and off. I love to walk, the more the better. I also donate to rescue agencies to help them care for those in need. I am self employed so my hours vary and are fairly flexible. I don't ever work long hours so I am always available up to a few times a day or could possibly do overnight stays. I have 2 cats at home so it's best if I take care of yours in your home..It's still possible I could take them in mine if introduced and they get along. I follow directions well and give a lot of attention..

About: Hi! My name is Lindsey, and I’ve always loved being around animals. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I look forward to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for dog walks in the evenings and on weekends. I understand how important it is for dogs to get exercise, attention, and a break during the day, and I’ll always do my best to provide dependable, punctual care. Whether your dog enjoys a leisurely stroll or an energetic walk, I’ll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I always follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, preferred walking routes, and any special needs. I grew up caring for my own dog for 13 years and currently care for three cats and two birds, so I understand how much pets mean to their families. I’ve also cared for relatives’ dogs and regularly help care for my boyfriend’s dog, Thor. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and attention I’d want for my own pets.

“We had Genie do drop in visits to our home 3 times a day for a week to take care of Sadie, our older rescue dog. We couldn’t be happier (and neither could Sadie). Genie was wonderful! We got reports and pictures for every half hour visit. We could see Sadie’s face get happier along with her wiggle butt tail wagging! I thought I wouldn’t need all the reports and pictures but I loved them. Genie’s words and pictures were reassuring that Sadie was in great hands and I looked forward to each one. Genie is professional, friendly and responds quickly to any message. I would definitely use Genie again and give her my highest recommendation!”

About: I grew up with cats and have raised two pups since they were around 10 weeks old. I’ve taken them to multiple levels of training classes and groom them at home. I treat my animals like they’re my children and would be happy to spread my love along to your furry friends! I work from home during the week, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to fit in pet care easily! I enjoy keeping busy, especially if it includes being around furry friends! I ensure pets receive adequate amount of food, playtime, attention and love each day. One of my pets was diagnosed with anxiety as a puppy, which has been a huge learning experience during walks and interactions with other dogs and people. I am a very patient person and would be happy to take care of pets regardless of their needs, personalities and behaviors. :)

About: I’ve cared for different kinds of dogs on a regular basis and for short periods of times as well. I can also check in on cats as well and feed them and make sure they’re okay. I work for the schools and I am currently on summer break right now so my schedule is extremely flexible. I have my own dog I care for as well but will definitely have the time to check in on your fur babies as well. I always check my backyard for critters before letting my dog out, especially at night. I personally get skunks in my area frequently and it’s a must. My dog has a doggy door and loves outside time but I always know where he is. I feed him and make sure he’s always comfortable. This is the same kind of care I would provide for your fur babies.

Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, active, and stress-free. I’m reliable, responsive, and available for same-day bookings when needed. You can expect clear communication and updates every visit. I limit how many clients I take so each pet gets focused, consistent care. I run my pet care like a professional service, not a side gig.

And typically work retail Mon, wens, sat, sun. I always have Fridays off. And I’m completely free before class or in between work. My schedule is put out weeks in advance so I’m able to communicate what hours I’m available and not. I don’t offer at-home boarding since I don’t have a fenced yard, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I’ll tidy up after myself, stick to their routine, and make sure they’re having fun whilst still maintaining a happy, and safe, environment.

About: I’ve taken care of my mini poodle starting at 3 months old. I’ve also watched a family members dog in house for months since I was 10 years old. I’m currently working part time, 24 hours a week and 12 hours a day. When I’m not working I let my family members dog out while they’re at work and feed/play with her. I make sure my dog receives lots of love, I always make sure her water bowl and food bowl is full. I love dogs of all sizes and kinds and think they’re such loving animals.

About: I’ve worked with dogs my whole life and have experience with both small and large dogs. My household loves dogs and your fur baby will receive so much love here. He/she can sleep with me if you like and I will take them on long walks on the Clinton River Trail, which runs by my house, if that is okay with you. I will love your dog like they are my own. I’m a kindergarten teacher so I am nurturing and caring. We have a fenced in yard and a great area for walking. I have also cooked personalized meals for my dog in the past sor if you have any dietary needs please just let me know. Please consider me to watch your doggos! Reach out if you have any questions or special requests.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Personally I have always had a dog as a pet. I am always the person family or friends call when they need someone to watch their pets. I currently work a fully remote full time job. I am able to tend to your pet in the morning and evenings. Occasionally I am also able to take breaks at work where I could get a walk in. I am able to care for pets at your home or in my home for the day if your dog gets along with cats. They say dogs are the best judge of character and I've never met a dog that didn't like me!
