Doggy Day Care Utica

About: I began working in professional dog boarding facilities at 16 years old, and animals have been a huge part of my life and career ever since. Over the years, I’ve worked in veterinary care, grooming, corporate doggy daycares, and professional dog training, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and needs. I have been professionally training dogs for the past 12 years and also trial and compete with my own personal dogs. I’ve worked with everyone from young, energetic puppies to seniors who require extra patience, medication, mobility assistance, or individualized care. Many of the clients I work with today have been trusting me with their dogs for 5+ years, which is something I’m incredibly proud of. Building long-term relationships with both dogs and their owners is one of my favorite parts of what I do. My background allows me to recognize changes in behavior, health, and comfort and provide a level of care that goes beyond simply feeding and letting a dog outside. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my priorities. Pet care is a big part of my daily life, not something I squeeze into my schedule. I work from home and am home full-time, so I’m able to give the dogs consistent attention, supervision, exercise, enrichment, and rest throughout the day. My schedule is built around their needs, with regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and individualized care. I keep my schedule intentionally flexible so each pet gets the attention and routine they need while they’re in my care. My property is completely fenced, offering ample space for your pup to frolic and play freely! Indoors, they'll receive the same love and care as if they were my own pet. Unless you specify otherwise, your dog is more than welcome to join me on the bed or sofa during our downtime. Because they're truly part of the family.

“Lisa was wonderful with our dog Minnie! She sent us pictures of her making friends with the resident pups and made sure to ask about care instructions, such as feeding and potty routines. We were very grateful that she offered to do a meet and greet so that Minnie could meet her dogs and get comfortable. We haven’t had our dog for very long and we were a little anxious about leaving her with a sitter for the first time, but we felt so comfortable leaving Minnie in her care and definitely plan to come back!”

“Our dog Leo loved his short stay with Madison on Thanksgiving Day. Communication was great and she was wonderful with Leo. He had a great time and would definitely recommend Madison.”

“This was the first “home” visit for Brandy. Roman and Jasmine made us feel secure in leaving her for several hours. This was also our first Rover experience. It is much more expensive than daycare in Charlotte but at least the option was available.”

Lisa M.

“Hannah was excellent! She has a large fenced in backyard that’s perfect for dogs (and kids!). Her communication was timely and efficient. I received nice pictures of my girl while I was traveling which was reassuring. I would definitely use Hannah again!”

About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.

About: Hi! My name is Audrey, and I’ve had a lifelong love for animals. I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. In middle school, I started my own dog walking and pet sitting business for neighbors, raising over $1,000 through reliable care and hard work. Since then, I’ve continued to gain experience by volunteering at the Spartanburg Humane Society. I currently work at Wild Hearts Equine Therapy, where I help care for horses used in therapeutic sessions and I’m on the feed team. I’m currently a psychology student at Clemson University, and I take pride in being responsible, compassionate, and attentive - especially when it comes to animals. You can trust that I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own! I’d love to care for your pets around my class schedule! I offer drop-in visits all week, with overnight stays near Clemson weekdays and anywhere weekends. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding, walking, playtime, litter box or potty breaks, and any other care instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and supervision while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I always treat every home with respect - clean, quiet, and dependable.

“Communication was excellent. This was my first time using Rover for doggie daycare. There were multiple people on site who were helping care for the dogs during the day. My dog was able to play with other medium-sized dogs. She definitely got enough exercise, and she is a higher energy dog breed (Husky). They also sent me a picture of her playing with some other dogs. And, they have air conditioned space available indoors for hotter days. We had a good experience and I would recommend them!”

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.

“Maggie was very excited to go to Ann’s house. We had a meet and greet the day before. Ann was very prompt getting back to me after my request and communicated very well. She kept us updated with photos and texts. We will definitely use her services again!”

About: My home is a dog-friendly, warm and inviting place where your special family member will be loved and cared for. I was a dog owner (lab rescues) for the last 12 years, but sadly my last guy recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a lot of love just waiting to be shared! I work from home so our time and availability is flexible! I love to take frequent walk and play breaks. And I am always up for some cuddle time! My yard is shady for dogs of all sizes. The neighborhood is pet friendly with lots of walking. I previously managed a pet sitting business within our Virginia neighborhood and can provide references.

“Ash did a great job with our Schnauzer, Jack. She walked him regularly, made homemade treats for him and let him chill on her sofa. This was wonderful while we spent the day with great friends and was a great comfort to us, knowing that Jack was safe and happy. Highly recommend. Call Ash.”
