âSophia is so wonderful with our kitty. I can have complete peace of mind when we have to go somewhere overnight. Enso needs heart medicine twice a day and Sophia makes sure that he takes it on time and that he gets his special food. The kittyboi can also get a his drink of water from the sink, a clean litter box, and lots of pets and cuddles.â

About: I have been around animals my entire life, learning about their behaviors and how to properly care for them! Its always been a passion of mine! I own my own small bakery business at home so my flexible schedule allows me to help care for your fur babies until 4pm everyday I always believe in allowing the animal to set the boundaries and allow them to get comfortable with a new person in their space, so your animal will always be the main priority with me!
About: Iâve owned everything from dogs and cats to more exotic species such as ferrets and reptiles for 10 years. Iâm studying to become a licensed veterinary technician, and am comfortable with more âbehaviorally challengedâ animals or those that need more specific care. I like to be busy, so while I am not working at my job at a Veterinary Clinic, Iâd love to be engaging with pets and pet parents. I pay attention to my surroundings and am not afraid to ask questions about what is or is not okay for the animal - ex. if they are allowed to go into a certain room, have a certain treat, etc.
âCamille is great. Very easy to communicate with and everything is always in good shape when I get back. She has taken care of my cat during two different trips and my kitty is always well cared for. Will be continuing to hire her in the future!â

About: I currently have baby-Neo, whoâs a German Shepherd and Great Dane mix. However, I have worked with Rottweilers, labs, and boxers previously. My experience includes special feeding/diets, walks, playing, baths etc. I plan to offer walks and/or home visits. My schedule is pretty flexible, and Iâm happy to assist. Visits and walks would be 30 min, and if feeding or any other special request is needed related to your pets, (including additional time!) please feel free to let me know in the initial visit to discuss. I would like to ask for an initial meeting to meet the pet(s) and go over the expectations regarding the services. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry babies! I am currently working part time job with flexible hours. However, my passion is dogs and looking to expand my experience/network and work with them more often! Strictly follow ownersâ instructions! The owners are best suited to provide instructions on how to care for the pets which includes feeding any special diets, how to walk them etc. you can expect your directions, no matter how long to be strictly followed!
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!:)
âRiley was great and paid special attention to our cat less than a week after he had a medical procedure. She provided updates and made sure he got the attention and love that he needed while my kids and I were gone. I would 100% recommend and look forward to future bookings!!â

About: I am available to give your fur-child some extra TLC! If you're in need of occasional weekend care, I am flexible to work weekends. Depending on energy level, I usually schedule in one to two walks per day. Depending on the needs and ages of the dog(s), I will make a plan with you prior to my service in order to assure you and your pet's needs are taken care of. Let me know when you would like to work out the details! I currently have an open schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Iâm available most weekdays and weekends, so I can provide consistent walks, playtime, and companionship when your pets need it most My priority is making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I always follow your instructions closely and keep to your petâs routine so they feel at home, even while youâre away. From meals and potty breaks to playtime, walks, and extra snuggles, I treat every pet as if they were my own.
âAnastasia & Drew did an amazing job checking on and caring for Willow and Tina! We loved looking forward to their photos and updates and would definitely book them again :)â


âBreanna was professional and punctual. She provided detailed reports on the status of my pets. You can tell Breanna really cares about animals. I would recommend Breanna and I would book again.â

About: I have several years of experience as I used to care for my neighbors dogs while they were away. I will treat your animal like my own. I am working full time but I am available before and after work to feed, give potty breaks and or walk your dog. I am available any time of day on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly female golden retriever who loves meeting new friends. I can also care for your dog in the comfort of their own home.
About: My name is Tim Borza and I was born and raised right outside Utica, NY. Iâve 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.
âGreat experience with Melinda :)! She made the effort to come beforehand fro a meet and greet and she was great with my cats. It was so nice to be away and not worry about my fur babies :).â


About: I am generally not afraid of dogs, being able walk, run, and play with a dog always brightens my day. I use to take care of puppies and adult dogs in my spare time after school and I would make sure to feed them, take them out for walks, play with them and pick up after them when needed. I am not working right now so looking after a dog is a good way to pass the time for me, not mention being out of the house and getting a decent amount of exercise. I will take great responsibility in taking care any dog that is under my care, I'll respect the owners rules and do my best to satisfy the customer and their needs
âAlexandrea was absolutely amazing with our two cats! Communication with her was easy and she sent us pictures everyday of our cats. First time trying rover and she went above and beyond for us. Not only did she take great care of the cats, she even cleared snow when there was a storm while we were away, so above and beyond what she came to do! I would recommend her to anyone for care of your pets while youâre away.â
