“We couldn’t be happier with the care that Mary provides for our dog. Bodger aka Huevo absolutely loves her and it’s clear that Mary genuinely cares about the animals she watches. She has also been incredibly flexible and accommodating with our changing work schedules which has been such a help Because our dog is a rescue finding someone we could completely trust was extremely important to us. Mary exceeded our expectations and gave us peace of mind from the very beginning. Knowing Huevo is safe and happy and well cared for when we’re away is priceless. We highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a dependable and caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life—ever since I was a toddler, there was always a dog or cat by my side. I have a special soft spot for dogs and cats, friends and family have trusted me to care for their furry family members while they’re away. I have hands-on experience with senior dogs, including administering medication with patience and care. I work full time but on weekends I’m free any time to walk or stay overnight with your 4 legged family members. During the week Monday - Friday I’d be available to walk your pup between 10:00am-12:30pm. I’ll be sure to care for your kitty or pup and all of their needs are taken care of. I’d be happy to uphold any routines or necessities while you’re away. I’ll be sure to give them all the love and care. Also feel free to let me know of any quirks your fur baby has.
“Nick went above and beyond while watching our two pups while we were out of town!! They’ve never been so comfortable with a sitter before. Communication was fabulous and he always took the time to send detailed updates and pictures. I would 100% recommend!”
“Missy was wonderful! This was my first Rover experience and I was very nervous with my cats needing medication twice daily but Missy was on time and great with communicating. I really appreciated the cute pictures she sent with each visit and I would definitely schedule with her again!”
“Elizabeth has cared for my two cats twice now while out of town. Once for house sitting and most recently for drop in visits. My boys were calm and happy when I returned home from both trips. Not to mention she kept my home tidy and cleaned up after my cats. I HIGHLY recommended Elizabeth. She is simply the best.”
“Mitzi is absolutely amazing. She sent me pictures of my baby boy during visits. Which were always an absolute delight to receive. I know my baby boy is in good hands. She also provided some general observations for me to follow up on.”
About: Hello! I’m Caton, and I genuinely love being around animals. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I always try to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for every dog I care for. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands! I have a lot of patience for animals because I have a little Pomeranian of my own. Whether your dog is energetic or anxious, I’ll make sure I can give them all the care they need! I am currently working part time with a job that closes around 2PM daily. I am waiting on my new school semester; therefore, I do not have classes at the moment. I am pretty flexible when it comes to drop ins and sitting. I always strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. Your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and care while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions and will send regular updates/photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I am the biggest animal lover and I would agree that they love me just as much! I am a babysitter and I work as a substitute in the GCCS school system. (Requests outside of my radius may require a travel fee) I am a substitute teacher so with that I do not have to work every single day which gives me extra free time for pet care!

“This was our first time using rover and Joanna was the best. Our boys loved her and we felt they were completely safe in her care. She gave frequent and thorough updates along with pictures of them. 10/10 from us!”
“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”
“I am very pleased with Jonah’s care of my animals. He sent lots of pictures. I know my dog especially enjoyed his visits. He took extra care to let my older cat drink from the bathroom faucet. He was very responsive every time I texted. Very satisfied.”
“Eleanor was very communicative, warm, and took great care of my puppy! She was also very attentive to my puppy’s food needs and made sure she had everything she needed. I’m so lucky to have found such a great pet sitter!”
About: I've had dogs, cats, and rabbits but have also cared for guinea pigs, turtles and fish. Caring for your pet the way you do is most important. I am available most days and times.

Really big on taking hikes, and playing ball. Staying hydrated will also be priority.non smoker.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 559 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Utica. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Utica. On Rover:

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.
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 sitter.
