Dog Walking in Utica

About: i’ve been around animals my whole life, my parents were big on taking every animal in so we’ve had everything from fish to birds. I’m very good at training puppies and giving them all the love and affection they need. currently i’m available all day throughout the week, i’m looking into going back to school online and using my love for animals as a side hobby i’d prefer to be around the environment they’re used to so it’s not overwhelming for them, as for safety goes i’ll always be around the fur babies and entertaining them

“Gianna was amazing! Very flexible last minute. Will definitely use her again if needed”

“Anna is great with our teenage Akita who is very energetic. We are grateful to have Anna.”

“Brenna was great!! She is friendly, responsive and was able to quickly connect with my dog. I had no reservations setting up the visits as I was confident that Dottie would be in good hands. I look forward to asking for Brenna’s help in the future!”

“Anna was awesome! She had great communication and during the meet and greet Benni loved her! She did a fantastic job and I’m really happy that I was able to have Anna take care of my pupper!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds, and I’ve owned a few as well. I am more than excited to start working with you and your pet. I currently have a senior dog and a puppy so there is no need to worry if you have either, as I am great with both! I look forward to working with you. Thank you! I am home most of the time with my 3 dogs and my cats, so I have plenty of experience with both. I am very flexible when it comes to scheduling a service because of this! I have a senior German Shepherd, a Golden Retriever who is a little under a year old, and a senior Yorkie. They love to play; especially the retriever, so they can be great company for your pet if you’d like! If you have a dog who prefers to be left alone, I have a rather large home with gates designed for pets and can have my dogs separated from yours! I have a very large yard where they can play as well! It is not fenced in, however, I have dog leads that allow them to freely and safely explore most of the yard.

“Steve is a responsible, compassionate and attentive dog caregiver. I highly recommend him. He is friendly and respectful to our animals and goes above and beyond to make sure their needs are being met.”

“Camille has cared for my cat Babushka multiple times one of which was for a whole month! My cat is very needy and Camille did a great job caring for her I know for a fact that she not only checked on my cat daily but also spent time with her even sent me updates and pictures! She is great with animals very trustworthy wouldn’t use anyone else”

About: I have had a cat since I was in high school. Since then, I have adopted three more cats. There are a total of four, but now after getting married, the cats are at my parents' house. I want to take care of my pet with a loving heart. Now I am a housewife. I don't work. When my husband goes to work, I usually stay home alone. So I have a lot of time with my dogs and cats. I can take care of them so that they don't feel lonely. My house is an apartment, but it has a large space. In front of my house, there's a trail where I can take a walk with my dog. Apartment residents also raise a lot of dogs. The environment is good.

“Nicole has been an absolute star to us since we moved to the area! We needed some quickly to help during long work days with our dog after moving to the area without knowing anyone. Nicole has consistently gone above and beyond for us and for our pup! She’s reliable, kind, outgoing, and takes great care of our dog. She has really been amazing in managing a dog who sometimes has behavioral issues and needs a firm hand at times. She gives him plenty of love and exercise but also knows when to hold her ground with him! The best part is that he always comes back looking happy and tired, two things a dog owner loves! We cannot recommend her enough and look forward to working with her as much as we can”

“Hello my name is Nancy S. I highly recommend Ava as a dog sitter/walker. She has a true love for animals and especially dogs. All dogs love her presence and you can tell her kind/gentle style when interacting with them. She has been around dogs her entire life and has a special place in her heart for her own pets and all animals. She would be a responsible person who would love them, care for their needs (food, water), play with them, and walk/run them. I can't think of a better person to hire for this job of dog sitting/walking.”

“Tina has been wonderful with my dog Tessa. I have left specific directions multiple times and she always follows them to a tee. She keeps them active, and always leaves them well cared for.”

“Calista trained my Alaskan Malamute in obedience and therapy dog work. Calista also started socializing my puppy at 10 weeks. Lumi would not be the dog she is today without Calista’s knowledge and guidance.”

About: I have experience with most animals from farm animals to precious house pets. I am experienced with reactive dogs, behavioral problems, administrating medication, senior pets, following special pet care accommodations and more. I’ve been a nurse for over 10 years and am dependable and caring. Animals are my passion and I am eager to cuddle, play with, and love your pets while you are away. I am currently not working and able to focus on your pets needs during the day/night. Please reach out for specific needs. Willing to accommodate most requests. I have a spayed female cat who is familiar with other pets. Your pet will have full range of our apartment. Pets will be walked frequently and on leash.

“Alexxis is amazing! She’s on time, reliable, and wonderful with my pup. She’s been great when I’ve needed a quick schedule change or with any special needs my dog has. She’s the best”

“I have used Laura twice now to watch my 2 girls (tuxedo cats) and she has given them excellent care. She is conscientious, personable, friendly, trustworthy and obviously loves animals. I definitely will continue to use her in the future and highly recommend her.”

“Jessica was great. Our pup was walked as we had discussed and she communicated with us the whole weekend we were away. She was wonderful to work with. Loved the pics.”

About: I currently have a 1.5 year old Doberman who is a certified service dog. We have worked countless hours with “fetch and more training” and I have learned so much about dog behaviors. I am currently a full time online masters student. I am also a part time assistant college basketball coach. I have the flexibility to adjust to others schedules. My current dog is crate trained. We do not use it often. He uses the bathroom as often as he indicates. He gets plenty of exercise as it is important. Most importantly he gets more than enough love. We also have a cat here and the two get along.

“I was very grateful that Lisa was able to spend some time with my dog last minute!”

“Giavanna is great with our dog! She has been watching our dog for years now and we cannot recommend her enough! She is trustworthy, carrying, and attentive. Giavanna gives constant love to our dog while keeping us updated with pictures and videos.”
