“Krystle was so great and patient with my dog Dobby. He was really scared of going down her stairs, and it took over an hour to get him comfortable enough to go up and down with confidence. Krystle was patient and kept a positive attitude the whole time. I cannot thank her enough for being so good to him! Would recommend 10/10.”
“Lia and Jonathan came through like champs! I only gave them a 1 day notice and they were gracious enough to fit Rogue in for the weekend. The communication throughout the stay was once again fantastic, so many pictures and quick notes on how the days were going. Definitely our go to place for Rogue❤️”
“Kelly really rescued us when we were in a jam - taking in our pups at the last minute when power went out at our house. She was very accommodating and the communication was great - which is reassuring when you are 3000 miles away. Very grateful and would trust her with our pups again for sure.”
“My dogs Nimbu and Sona have stayed with Vicki and her husband multiple times and they always have the BEST time! They are so kind and respectful and always go above and beyond for us and our pups! They send the best photos and we absolutely love them! If you need to board your dogs you should ABSOLUTELY go with Vicki!!!”

“Kristen is a 5-star sitter! As a first-time user and owner of a nervous Golden Retriever, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were communicative, caring, and made Katz feel comfortable immediately. Highly recommend for anyone with a “shy or anxious pup!"”
“Very communicative with daily check-in and lots of pictures and videos. Also went above and beyond by allowing me to pick up my dog later than Rover allows due to a flight delay. She is my go to boarding person.”
“Roxxy was an absolutely amazing sitter! She had great communication, was incredibly detail-oriented, and our dogs absolutely adored her. She sent the best updates and photos and kept us updated throughout our entire trip, which made us feel so comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. We will definitely be using Roxxy again in the future and would highly recommend her to other fur families!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Madison did a great job communicating ahead of time and meeting us to make sure we were a good fit in her home. She sent pictures and communicated often about how things were going and this made us feel very confident that Ty was in good hands and comfortable in her home. Ty even got a bath while we were away and smelled great when we picked him up! That was extra special! Madison stayed up late after our flight was delayed so that we could pick up Ty upon our return same day! We will definitely use Madison again when we travel! Thank you Madison!!!”
“Maritza and Daniel took care of our dog Asuna while we were on a vacation. My dog Asuna got along with their pug Lupe during the meet and greet and they have a lovely home.”
“Thank you irv for looking after Enzo, appreciate the excellent communication and conversations we had. Irv insisted on a meet and greet to make sure our dog would get on with others, described in detail how our dog would be fed and walked. He also sent us videos and pictures during his stay. Irv is very knowledgeable and experienced and I would recommend him to others.”
“Shree was a total Gem her and Raul treated Zou like family ! My heart was filled with joy on the way they cared for him . The videos and messages were just enough to keep us engaged on his progress during his stay! He’s a puppy and still in the baby stages which is a lot but they managed him so well!”
“Sarah was a great host for our dogs while we went away for 2 weeks. She helped coronate an initial meet and greet to make sure the dogs got along and we were comfortable leaving them. She was also incredibly responsive to all texts leading up to our stay and during, as well as keeping us updated with pictures the entire time. She let our boys make themselves at home, which we really appreciated. 10/10 stay, would use her and family as a host again! Thanks so much!”
“Our cat Doja had a lovely stay with Audrey over the Thanksgiving holiday. I really appreciated the daily pics and updates. It's nice to have peace of mind when we have to be away from our furry family member! Planning to book again soon.”
“Rileigh was helpful, attentive, and sent lots of photos! Very accommodating of leeroy's many quirks and made scheduling/coordinating a breeze. Will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“I highly recommend Christina! She watched my 4 month old Havanese puppy and provided excellent care and sent pictures, videos and updates for us to enjoy while we were away from our baby for the first time 😊”
“Kareema is a very warm and welcoming young lady who was able to take my kitties on fairly short notice. She gave me updates and pictures of my happy kitties which helped my anxiety of having to leave them in someone else's care. My cats were happy and very well attended to under her care. When the time comes that I ever need to have my pets taken care of again, Kareema is my 1st choice. Thank you so much Kareema, Mr. Pickles, Chi-chi Michi, and we appreciate you 😊”

Miranda and her family were amazing! They sent pictures and videos with updates throughout Moose’s stay, which I really appreciated! Moose seemed to thoroughly enjoy his time at their house, and he seemed to be very loved and well taken care of while I was away. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch and treat them like part of the family! 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter. We will definitely be booking with them again!
Dawn is amazing!!!!! She was able to get my puppy in last minute and keep her longer then we initially planned for Send messages every day And our puppy came home better than when we dropped her off. Learned new tricks and is better with her name I honestly can’t recommend someone more . Thank you so much Dawn
Kathryn did an amazing job watching my dog! She was a great communicator throughout the entire process and was very attentive to the needs of my pet. I will definitely be going with her for dog sitting in the future and would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,391 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Utica. About 92% of Utica sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
