Dog Boarding in Utica

“A wonderfully sweet and caring sitter who did a magnificent job taking care of my senior dog. She is very mature and professional. She was conscientious of my senior dogs limitations but still kept her active and engaged. She expressed initiative in helping out with my furbaby's care that wasn't anticipated was sooo appreciated. Would recommend her to everyone, and will definitely use her every future needs.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Becky! From our first interaction, it was clear how genuinely caring, responsible, and attentive they were. She took the time to get to know our dog’s personality and little quirks, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the stay, we received consistent updates, photos, and thoughtful check-ins that made it so easy to relax knowing our pup was in such great hands. It honestly felt like our dog was on their own little vacation. What really stood out was the level of detail and effort. Becky and her daughter went above and beyond in every way. Whether it was sticking to her feeding and supplement schedules, making sure our dog got plenty of love and attention, extra attention to her needs (it was a change of seasons aka shedding time and they gave her lots of extra care and brushing to keep her comfortable!), it was all so appreciated. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pet, but I would 100% book Becky again without hesitation and recommend her to absolutely anyone. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, you’ve found the one!”

About: Although my account reflects a start date of 2023, I paused it until now, so I'm happy to announce that Little Paws Retreat is now open! I am looking forward to providing your pup, or pups, with a cozy, loving, safe home away from home. I have a lot of experience with dogs and know how important consistency, routine and clear communications are. I keep a clean, comfortable space and make sure all meals, potty breaks and cuddles happen on schedule. When you book with me you will get: -Daily updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. -Flexible routines that adapt to your dog's needs. -Supervised outdoor visits on leash. -Calm, dependable support if your pup has special needs or medication instructions. I look forward to a "meet and greet" before committing to any stays. I want you to feel 100% confident your sweet dog is in good hands getting all the care I would give a dog in my own family. I am retired and have the time to give your pet full attention throughout the day. They would get a good share of affection and playtime. If your pet follows a regular routine or schedule I would be happy to follow it also. Your dog would be with me on the main floor of my home. He/she would be walked if that is what they usually do and can have outdoor time in the yard either on a run or within a small play area. I would be with them. I have had plenty of experience with medications if needed.

“Kara was very thoughtful about caring for our elder dog during her stay. It was a last minute trip for us and she was very thoughtful and accommodating. Our girl Stella is a bit anxious and sensitive and Kara took the best care of her needs. It’s clear she loves dogs and takes great pride in caring for the pets in her home. I would 100% recommend Kara to others looking for a loving home and person. To watch their special family member.”

“Angela watched our almost one year-old golden retriever Brady for Memorial Day weekend. I received updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Brady had a great time and was loved and cared for. I would definitely recommend Angela and will be using her in the future.”

“Can't have enough stars! She has now cared for my dogs twice and I will be bringing them here again. Fantastic, she communicates and keeps me updated on my pups every day, even sending photos. I don't have to worry when I leave my dogs with her.”

“Vanessa went above and beyond caring for my dog. He was well cared for including feeding, socialization, and exercise. He got to experience new surroundings and settings that included an exercise arena that he thoroughly enjoyed. I appreciate the time and attention given to him and would highly recommend anyone to trust their dog with Vanessa and her family. Thank You!”

“Research & clinical shadowing outside of NY meant I had to find a pet boarder this summer for my cat. I wanted to make sure he was left in good hands; Tyler was an outstanding sitter for my Mango 🥭🐈 Tyler took care of Mango like his own: taking him to vet visits, making sure to play with him, & sending me frequent updates. Thank you so much Tyler!”

Kendal G.
