Pet Sitting in Utica

“Sophia is incredibly caring, kind, and reliable. She has visited our kittyboi Enso and administered his liquid heart medicine twice a day, for us to be able to go on a special weekend trip. The kitty pictures and updates were wonderful. I had great peace of mind knowing our fluffy angel was in good hands.”

“Madison is awesome! She is friendly and loving toward Nemo and was able to easily administer his medications. We appreciated her great communication and her photos of Nemo. We will definitely keep her in mind for next time!”

About: I have multiple friends who trust me to give their dogs an adventure and also be their dogs’ cuddle buddy on the couch. I do my best to know the individual(s) and their dogs to cater to their needs, whether their trips are short term or long term. I’ve dog sat in people’s home or my home and while the owner is gone, I have trained their dogs as well if needed or if they ask. I’m a communicative and intentional individual for the owners and the fur buddies. I make my own schedule for work so I can be as flexible as I need to be in order to care the pet. I keep a routine in my phone and calendar in order to give better intentional care for the pet(s). I do my best to help the pets become familiar with their surroundings, with me, and also help them by being a consistent and calm sitter for them. I can be firm and assertive, but also fun and goofy with them.

About: I've owned pets for almost my entire adult life. I love every pet and have experience with basic training of my own dog, taking care of cats and kittens. I work a 10 month full time and would love to help care for your pets in my time off. I'm available most weekends and some weekday evenings/mornings as well as nearly daily in the summer. I will feed, walk, play with, give medicine to your pets. They will feel a sense of kindness and caring while I am with them.

“She does a great job! Having the peace of mind that your furry family members are being taken care of while you are out of town or out of the country is a huge relief. Gabriella was amazing and we will use her in the future and recommend this to everyone.”

“Mia has taken care of my two cats twice now and she is wonderful! I can’t thank her enough for her attentiveness and kindness. Consider Mia for your pet sitting needs 🩷”

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!:)

“We have booked Alexandria multiple times and she is always amazing at making sure our cat is all set while we travel. She’s great at communication and we get the best pictures while we are traveling.”

“Melinda was wonderful with our girls. We have a very fresh Frenchie and Melinda was great with her. She was very communicative and sent super cute pics. Will definitely book her again.”

“Camille was very professional and sweet. Traveling is a bit stressful for us because our cat is a bit older and has some medical needs but he was happy and healthy when we got home! I would 100% recommend her services!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets at every stage of life. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, starting with my first cat, Rosie, and over time I’ve gained hands-on experience with both kittens and senior cats. I’ve raised four kittens (three rescues) myself, so I’m very familiar with the patience, attention, and consistency needed for young pets. Additionally, I have experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs, through the care of my own pups and friends’. I have lots of experience caring for senior pets, including administering medications, managing special diets, and assisting with more advanced care such as subcutaneous (IV) fluids. Because of this, I’m very attentive to changes in behavior or health and can provide a higher level of care for pets with medical needs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. I work as a Medical Assistant full time on weekdays from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, but my evenings and weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for pets. I’m based in Utica and am happy to travel as needed for drop-in visits, walks, or longer stays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while being attentive to pets’ needs. I provide care either in my pet-friendly, secure residence (keycard access) or in the client’s home, depending on their needs. I am flexible and attentive to any special requests, and I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering medications and managing special diets. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities.

“Katelyn was an enthusiastic and extremely competent sitter! She is a good communicator that got along well with our two cats and provided an excellent quality of care. I would definitely book with her again!”

“We were extremely happy with Nina watching Gunther. We were at ease knowing she would be here looking after him. We loved the pictures and updates we got. Nina made us feel very confident that Gunther was in good hands.”

About: I currently have baby-Neo, who’s 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 I’m 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 owners’ 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!

“Riley was great to work with - we even had a tricky lockout situation while we were away and Riley worked with us every step of the way to get it resolved. Strongly recommend Riley.”

Travis S.

“Ava did an amazing job with Rey, my American staffy. Ava took lots of pictures and kept me well informed of how Rey was doing! Would highly recommend ??”
