About: I have a long long history with dogs. I have had pitbulls all my life and I will forever hold a place for them in my heart! I love all dogs truly. I am open to cats if they are friendly 😅! I do work a 9am-4pm work shift and don’t get home usually until 4:45pm. I am open to drop ins and anything else that helps your travel time truly! I can do frequent walks as soon as I wake up, before I leave for work and any time after I am home from work. Weekends I am usually freed up with a lot of time so I don’t mind walks or anything needed for your pet☺️. I live in an apartment so frequent walks is something i’m completely okay with. I would say if you have pets that don’t work well with prolonged times not using the bathroom I wouldn’t be a great fit just do to my day to day work schedule. Weekends are completely free! I’m comfortable giving medicine on a schedule, long walks or baths or anything your pet may need so you can be worry free! I do have a son that has been around big and small dogs and i’m comfortable training or correcting if needed! Just know any dog or cat is in great hands with me☺️❤️!
“Amanda was a great choice for our new puppy. We ran into some health issues with him and she was very helpful through that whole process. I’d really love to use her moving on in the future!”

“We felt so confident that Georgie was having a wonderful time with Amy and her family and had a great time playing with Woody. It helps us feel better about going on vacation knowing he is well taken care of. Thank you so much Amy❤️”


“Juahn was so good to my Teddy and took pictures and sent me updates over the phone. He assured me there was nothing to be concerned about and I felt calm knowing Teddy was well cared for.”

“Tory was fantastic! She was available for us for a last minute stay and made time for a meet & greet before our Luna’s stay with her. She sent me pictures and kept me updated on how things were going. Most importantly, I felt like she really cared about how Luna was doing and that she had a positive experience. Highly recommend and plan to book again in the future!”

“Sydney was amazing! She took extra care in gathering information about our pup to ensure his comfort and care. I get anxious about leaving him overnight, but we felt at easy during his week long stay - we received daily updates/pictures and could tell our boy had a blast! Sydney also updated us when our dog's allergies started acting up and administered his medication. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a pupsitter 😊”

“Kate is amazing! I am always a little anxious about leaving Downey with other people, but Kate made sure he had the best time. She is attentive and patient and answers quickly. She followed all the instructions well and sent videos and photos every day. Her availability and flexibility to take care of Downey for us again during the Holidays saved our lives after weeks of looking for an available and affordable sitter. As long as Kate is available, I'll not look for another sitter again. I 100% recommend her!!”

“Shanel Took care of hazelnut really well she kept me informed throughout the whole stay, hazelnut seem like she had a lot of fun staying with Shanel. I would highly recommend taking your dog there they will be well taken care of. Thank you for taking care of my dog”

“Joan of Bark stayed with Anna and it was great - sometimes Joan gets nervous and doesn’t eat or drink well, but Joan felt comfortable and was eating all her meals and drinking early in into her stay!! We got tons of pictures and updates which always helps. We would highly recommend Anna!”

“Sogol was a kind and loving caregiver to my dog. She sent numerous pictures and updates while we were away and even went the extra mile of purchasing a doggy gate to install at her door to alleviate our concerns of our dog running outside. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She goes above and beyond for your dog”

“Katrina is excellent pet sitter. I was able to do a meet and greet before the sitting. She had good communication and flexibility to make that meeting happen. She was very patient and helpful with me and all the booking, since I am new to the system. During the sitting Katrina was very good updating us with the right amount of comments and pictures about how our dog was doing. Our dog came home relaxed and happy, clearly Katrina took well care of him. Katrina's own down is similar in size and breed to our dog, so the possibility to a playmate during the sitting was a nice surprise. We recommend Katrina 100% and we will have her in our roster for future pet sitting needs.”

I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m especially passionate about giving pets lots of attention and making sure they never feel overlooked.

“We were delighted to board our little Duncan with Anirudhh Sai T. We had made vacation plans at the last minute and they were so willing to help us out and take care of Duncan. Everyone at the house was so polite and pleasant. Anirudhh sent lots of photos and a few videos, too! I felt that Duncan was very well cared for and was happy in their home for the time he stayed there. We will gladly use their services again!”

“Kristen was wonderful with our girl Annie. This was our 1st time using Rover and boarding her in a private home. She was so much more rested and less stressed than the previous kennel we had used. Kristen kept us informed with pictures and updates. We will definitely book with her again.”

“Very happy repeat customer! When we arrived at her place our dog’s tail started wagging. He was so happy to see her and her family and is very comfortable with them. Lots of videos, love, and attention.”

“I had an amazing experience with Kadi! She was incredibly friendly, reliable, and showed so much love to my dog. Her communication was great and she sent regular photo updates which we loved. My dog came home happy and ready for a nap. I would refer her to anyone!”

“Jessica was amazing with our pups! We've never used Rover before but decided to for a 9 day trip. We are worriers with our babies so we were nervous, but I am so happy we did because they had tons of play time/attention, and it was SO much more affordable than a boarding facility. We received daily pictures, updates, and some videos along the way. We will definitely be working with Jessica again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Utica
We felt very comfortable leaving Mickey with Laura and her husband. They’re both very caring and you can tell they genuinely love dogs. Laura sent us photos and updates every couple of hours, which we really appreciated, and Mickey looked like he was having so much fun! Their dog Finley is also adorable. 🥰 We’d definitely be happy to leave Mickey with them again!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Utica on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,384 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Utica. About 93% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
