Dog Walking Utica

About: Hello! I have taken care of many different types of animals, all shapes and sizes ever since I was 15 years old. I have taken care of cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, and fish! Whether it’s just one fur baby, or even up to six at a time, I can do it! I love animals and have a cat and four fish of my own—I have had a few dogs in the past as well! I would love to get to know your pets and take care of them if you need help! :) I am typically free most week days and weekends anytime to walk, feed, or play with pets. Mondays and Wednesdays I am more busy in the morning time due to classes, however I can still do drop-ins before and after on those days as well! For my current pets I keep my fish in a 50 gallon tank since they are smaller, but love the space. For my cat, Squash, she stays in my main unit with me free to roam around and cuddle with me whenever she likes. I do not offer boarding services since my complex only allows a certain amount of pets at a time.

About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets over the years, including two sweet senior dogs and a cat, and I’ve loved every moment of it. I have volunteered at a local animal shelter near Clemson where I took dogs out on “doggy daycations” — long walks, fresh air, and of course pup cups to make their day extra special. I also grew up helping care for my family’s Australian Labradoodle, so I’m comfortable with everything from energetic playtime to gentle, patient care. Whether your pet wants adventure, affection, or a calm companion, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. I have a very light semester at Clemson this year, which means I’ll have plenty of downtime and a flexible schedule for pet care. Whether you need regular walks, drop‑ins, or last‑minute help, I’ll be around and available. I love spending my free time outside anyway, so your pets will get lots of attention, fresh air, and fun while you’re away. I always prioritize safety and comfort. I have hands‑on experience walking untrained shelter dogs outdoors, so I’m confident handling pups who may pull, get excited, or need a little extra patience. I’m gentle, calm, and loving with both dogs and cats, and I make sure every animal feels secure and respected in my care. Whether we’re out exploring or relaxing at home, I create a safe, positive environment where pets can be themselves and feel completely at ease.

About: I had multiple dogs all of my life and have taken care of horses and barn cats. Love all animals and want to make sure that they are doing amazing while you are away. I have pet sitted on and off over the years for friends and even flew to Las Vegas to petsit for an extended weekend. I’m currently working full time but can do late night drop ins, walks and am available any time on the weekends. Typically on the weekends I am free/flexible for any time, except the few times I’m out of town. Before letting pets out in fenced areas I double check gates are closed and latched before letting out. For any pets that are walked I ensure that they are leashed before heading out the door and do not take the leash off until inside with the door closed. I have an escape artist of myself at home so I know what to look for. I can easily place your pet in a crate before leaving if that is necessary.

“Marissa was awesome! She is super easy to communicate with and responds quickly. I will definitely be utilizing her services for my fur baby in the future!”

“Madison was great! She was able to accommodate a same-day request, which I really appreciated. She took Annika on an adventure to the park, and Annika came home completely pooped. It was clear she had a great time. I would definitely book with Madison again!”

About: Over the course of my life I’ve owned dogs, cats, rabbits, and multiple different types of reptiles. Currently my family has two dogs, a cat, and a bearded dragon that I care for. Right now I work at a dog boarding facility and in the past have worked at a vet clinic. I am currently going to Clemson University and studying Animal Sciences to hopefully eventually be able to go into their vet program. I’m currently in school and working part-time, so my schedule is a little busier than it normally is. But my job is very flexible and I love to help people out by helping them take care of their pets whenever I have time. I’m always done with work by 5 or 6 and my class schedule isn’t super heavy right now so I can be free most mornings. When I'm caring for pets, whether it's house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking, I always focus on their comfort and routine. For house sitting, I live in your home, making sure your pets are fed, walked, and given their meds, and your home stays just as you left it, if not better. For drop-in visits, I stop by your home to feed, play with, and maybe walk your pets. For dog walks, I give your dog a fun and safe walk, making sure they get the exercise they need. I always follow your instructions to keep your pets happy and your home well-maintained. With my own dogs I have experience giving them meds, walking them, feeding them, playing with them, and training them to do tricks.

About: Over the past three years I have worked at two boarding/training/daycare facilities for dogs. My love of animals is why I’m getting my undergraduate degree at Clemson University for Animal Veterinary Science, pre - vet. I love caring for animals and making sure all their needs are met. I am currently a student at Clemson University, I have classes on Monday-Friday. Monday and Tuesday I have one class so those days are very free, Wednesday-Friday I have two classes so I’m not as available for long stays, but walks/drop ins I’m still very free! Saturdays and Sundays I’m free all day! At my home we have two labs, one is 15 years old so she requires special care such as wearing a diaper when not on a walk. I am very flexible with what I can provide when requested from the pet parent. I also currently have a Doberman puppy so I am very comfortable with taking care of puppy needs or just energetic dogs in general.

About: I have always grown up with pets: 3 dogs, 1 cat, and a beared dragon. I have helped train a puppy, cared for a dying senior dog, and everything in between. I have experience with pets who have high energy, anxiety, dietary needs, and physical disabilities. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to pet sit, drop in, provide over night care, and walk their dogs. I have worked at a dog groomer for over 2 years, which has given me experience with a wide variety of animals and their temperaments. I’m a full time student at Clemson University who has most afternoons/ evenings and weekend free to care for your pets! I am studying wildlife conservation so spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! Following instructions, I can care for your pet however you direct me to. I am comfortable taking your dog for walks/ hikes, playing indoors and outdoors, dosing medications, keeping up with training, and providing all the love and comfort your pet will need while you are away!

“Madison is great-takes Bruce for a long walk. He loves her.”

About: i have had pets since i was essentially born. i have 4.5 years working in an emergency veterinary hospital, and i currently work in cat rescue. i believe i am well equipped to recognize a medical emergency in cats & dogs. i also have experience with rabbits, fish, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, and select reptiles. i am currently unemployed, and i am able to care for your pet during the day through the week, and overnight through the weekend! i do have a 1 year old, so overnight stays during the week would not be an option for us. i will treat your babies as if they are my own while they stay in the comfort of their home. i am unable to board in my apartment, but i am open to pet sitting at your residence.

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had a dog in my life. I am always willing to make time for a four-legged companion, and because I'm athletic/energetic, I enjoy walking and playing with your dog. I have 20 years of sitting experience, five on Rover, and I've worked in professional pet boarding and training at a boutique kennel (Cuddly Critters in Greenville). I am a schedule oriented person who can easily adapt to other people's/animal's schedules. Pets always make the best companions, and I want to get to know as many as possible. I have had several fulltime jobs throughout my life, but I doubt any will be as fun as watching your dog. Recently, my career has revolved around higher education, so anything that can make a dent in my student loans is a plus! Happy to hear any questions/special requests you might have. Please feel free to contact me for anything. I'm currently working part time, but it is all remote work done via laptop. So all I need is wifi and I'm good to go. I can commit most of the 24+hrs directly to your dog. I always create a fun and safe environment whenever I'm around "our better halves" (lol). I know how to calm down anxious dogs, but also keep up with any sheep dogs you might have lol.

“Olivia is so good with our dog Remi! She’s friendly and understanding, very flexible with scheduling and helpful! We trust her completely with our fur baby. We highly recommend her!”

About: I’m retired and using my spare time to look after fur babies of all shapes and sizes. I love pets and have years of experience in animal training too! If you’re looking for full time, comprehensive care, this is it. 😊 As a retired veteran, this is my main source of income and I’m very dedicated to it. I am involved in pet care every day because I have a dog and cat of my own and I love them like family. Taking care of animals puts me at ease and helping others is my mission in life, so I’m very devoted to doing this job well. My complex is gated and I have created a special space in my home for guest pets. I have LOTS of toys and training tools available so the fun never stops! I follow instructions to the letter and do my absolute best to go above and beyond in all that I do. Animals are such a beautiful blessing on this Earth and I really treasure every opportunity to interact with them. It just makes me happy!

About: I have had dogs and cats as pets my whole life. I love taking care of animals and giving them the love they deserve! I have experience with walking, bathing, feeding, and playing with dogs and cats and I am happy to help! I am home for the summer so I will be available pretty much anytime of day throughout the week and weekend! Message me for more detailed info! I am a very neat and tidy person and always make it a priority to clean up after myself and the animals when I am pet sitting, doing check ins, etc!

About: I’ve cared for my own pets for years, so I’m very familiar with giving dogs the attention, patience, and care they need. My pets require lots of attention, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and keeping them comfortable and happy. I also regularly cared for three dogs each week for several months for a family from my church. That experience gave me even more confidence caring for multiple pets at once and making sure each one gets the individual attention they deserve. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s needs! I currently work a part-time job, but I’m able to request time off in advance when needed. I have availability throughout the week and on weekends and can be flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. With enough notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to accommodate walks, drop-ins, or longer stays. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure to follow any instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and will always keep a close eye on your pets, whether we’re inside, outside, or on a walk. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pets like they’re my own, while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and truly hands-on care I give every pet. I’m used to managing high-maintenance, high-love dogs, so I understand routines, health needs, and creating a calm, safe environment. I’m extremely detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medications, and cleanliness, and I’m always tuned in to a pet’s body language and comfort level. I have experience with: puppies, sensitive or anxious dogs, senior care, and daily photo updates - so you always feel connected. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine over Christmas break because I have a lot of free time and flexibility. I’m home with my three Frenchies, so I’m already in a consistent rhythm of feeding, playtime, walks, and attention throughout the day. Adding another pet into that routine is easy and natural. Since I’m not in classes during break, I’m able to give pets tons of time, structure, and supervision. Whether it’s sticking to a specific schedule, getting outside for exercise, or just providing comfort and company, I can be fully present and attentive. During the holidays, caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — I genuinely have the time and availability to make it a priority. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. At my home, pets join my three friendly Frenchies for supervised play, consistent feeding times, potty breaks, and plenty of attention—especially since I have lots of free time over Christmas break. In a client’s home, I follow your exact schedule and house rules so your pet feels secure in their familiar space. In both settings, I stay attentive, communicative, and treat every pet like my own.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have been helping care for them since I was three years old. People have relied on me to house-sit, walk, and take care of their dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in a variety of settings. I’m reliable, active, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping pets active while respecting their routines and individual needs. I’m comfortable helping with medications and following care instructions. You can also expect regular updates, photos, and quick responses while your pet is in my care. I will treat your pet with the same patience and affection I’d give my own! I’m a Clemson student with a flexible schedule, and I’m especially available on Tuesdays, Thursday’s and weekends. I’m happy to work pet care around my classes and can often accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. I love spending time with animals, so fitting pet care into my routine is something I genuinely enjoy! I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions, and I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety details are handled responsibly. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to your pet’s behavior and needs, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

About: i’ve had pets my whole life and even grew up with 4 dogs of various breeds and ages, as well as completed an internship at a local vet taking care of dogs and cats. I have done animals sitting since I was very young and am confident in my ability to ensure safety and fun for your pet. I am currently working part time and have most late morning to early afternoons free to dedicate to your furry friends for any services needed! I have lots of experience with dogs and cats of my own and their needs. Should your pet or you have any specifications or needs I am happy to do so. I love taking photos of animals and would love to share them with you if should wish during my time with your pet!

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of providing not only basic care, but also love, attention, exercise, and a safe environment where dogs feel comfortable and happy. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playtime, grooming, and recognizing a dog’s individual needs, I am dedicated to treating every dog as if they were my own. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals, ensuring they receive the highest level of care while you’re away. I work part-time at a pool, so I have a flexible schedule and extra time throughout the week. I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for my own, so I would love the chance to spend more time with them. Taking care of pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every dog with the same love and attention I give my own. When caring for pets, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I give pets plenty of attention and affection while also keeping their environment clean and secure. My goal is to make sure each pet is happy, well cared for, and feels at ease while their owner is away. When I had an older dog, giving medication was always needed, so if you have an older dog and need to know that they will be in good hands. I definitely will be the girl for the job!
