“Camryn was great with our two dogs. One of our dog is shy and get anxious, she was very patient with him and eventually he warmed up to her. She did a great job walking our dogs. Will definitely recommend her for anyone. She would be my go-to person for our dogs in future as well”

I’m currently able to do full time for drop ins, walks and house sitting. I can do Mornings, afternoon and evening for your animals! I am also very flexible on weekends and can accept last minute bookings if needed.

About: (My boyfriend’s little sister is 11 and heading into middle school, during this summer break she wants to earn some money so I agreed to let her tag along with me and care for pets. She has a huge heart for all kinds of animals and has a golden retriever of her own she loves to take on walks) Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet lover who enjoys working with both dogs and cats equally. I grew up with multiple pets, including having three dogs at once, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I also have experience caring for a dog with cancer, including giving medication and providing extra attention and comfort. Because of that, I understand how important patience, gentleness, and trust are when it comes to pet care—especially for animals that may need a little extra support. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, from small to large, as well as puppies and kittens. I truly enjoy spending time with animals—whether it’s going on walks, playing, or just relaxing with them. One of my favorite things is seeing their personalities come out, from their funny habits to their curiosity about everything around them. I currently have an orange cat named Poseidon, so I’m very familiar with daily care routines and making sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, and I’m always reliable, attentive, and communicative. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure you feel completely comfortable while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule because I currently do not have a job, which allows me to be home and available throughout the day. I am able to give the pet constant attention, regular feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, playtime, and any additional care they may need. Since my schedule is flexible, I can quickly respond to the pet’s needs and make sure they are comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pride myself on creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and comfort levels to make sure they feel secure and at ease at all times. I always follow any specific instructions closely, keep a clean and pet-friendly space, and take extra care with things like doors, leashes, and feeding routines to ensure safety. I approach every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, allowing them to warm up at their own pace and building trust naturally. My goal is to make your pet feel just as comfortable and cared for with me as they do with you.
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Finn! She arrived right on time for every visit and took him on long walks that he clearly enjoyed. We really appreciated the updates and photos along the way because they gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about Finn and made sure he was happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Grace again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker!”


About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I’m dependable, responsible, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, meals, potty breaks, and companionship they need rather than rushing through visits. I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to follow each pet’s established routine and providing consistent care throughout the day. I also make communication a priority, so pet parents can expect updates and photos while they’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs. Before each booking, I make sure I understand the pet’s routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, medications if applicable, and any behaviors or special instructions I should be aware of. Safety is my priority, so I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, so I provide regular updates and photos and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while their family is away
“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Utica. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Utica. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
