“We would definitely recommend Steven for his pet sitting services. He watched our two kittens for a week that needed a little extra care. He sent pictures and videos frequently so we wouldn’t miss the babies too much. Steven has a lot of knowledge and experience with animals and we would absolutely book with him again. Thank you!”
“Deena is a great care taker and did a marvelous job with my Morgan. She asked great questions and clearly connected with her and was good about providing updates and pictures.”
“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❤️”
“Judith was great and very accommodating for a last minute request. Judith sent photos and videos of Scooby enjoying himself and making himself at home. Scooby slept for 10 straight hours after returning home, he had a lot of fun with the other dogs and kids in the home! Scooby made some new friends and would definitely bring Scooby back!”
“Always a perfect stay for our older lab. Kristen is incredibly attentive and communicative which is why we continue to come back to her at a every opportunity we can. Thanks, Kristen!”
“Shivambika took care of my dog like her own. She sent me timely updates and kept me informed about my dog’s wellbeing. My dog was a little sad and wasn’t eating very well but Shivambika tried different things to make sure she eats well and she succeeded too. Her house is very clean and beautiful. I would definitely leave my dog there again.”
“Katrina is THE BEST! My Coco was taken care of so well! I received videos and pics everyday from her while I was on vacation and that made me very happy and comforted. Katrina deserves five stars! Thank you for all of your hard work. Definitely will recommend Katrina to anyone who wants their fur baby pampered and loved.”
“Sogol was nice, kind, thoughtful helpful, caring.... I could go on and on. She not only took great care of O.C., she sent pictures regularly and informative updates almost hourly! "Thank you" is not enough. Sogol is wonderful.”
“Monica watched our dog during the Christmas holiday for 2 wks. We had a family trip overseas & our usual sitter was away. So we were just appreciative that Monica was available! The meet & greet went very well. She has a fenced backyard which is a necessity for our dog who is very fast! Monica only takes 1 dog at a time which is great. Our dog loves to get all the attention & I’m sure she got it! Monica sent pics & communicated with us often which was wonderful since we missed her very much. That was the longest we’ve been away. I would definite recommend Monica and trust her to watch our dog again.”
“Britnie and her fiancé boarded our two dogs two times in a month for a week each time. After the first stay, there was no question Dixie and Yoshi would be staying with them again. Britnie sent an update with tons of pictures every day and I know our pups got the love and attention they needed. I didn’t feel I had to worry at all about them while enjoying vacation. I would highly recommend Britnie’s services and will definitely plan on using her again in the future.”
“What an amazing host family! Tanuja took all the appropriate steps to make me and spice feel welcome and comfortable with this being a first time host. We had a meet and greet so both dogs could get comfortable with each other and after that moved towards hosting. She kept me well informed and was very thorough with making sure she had everything to care for spice. I would definitely book again with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who asked.”
“Samantha & Zach are amazing. They’re are amazing with their communication about your furry friend. My dog Titus always gets excited going there would definitely recommend their services.”
“Hali was amazing with my dog! I felt very comfortable leaving him in great hands, and Hali was sure to provide lots of updates and pictures. My dog made fast friends with her pups and came home absolutely exhausted so I know he got in lots of playtime and will be excited to go back!”
“Kayla was so amazing with our cat! she communicates very quickly and sends lots of updates :) I felt so at ease and safe leaving our little kitty with her ❤️ Will def be rebooking in the future !!!!”
“Anna did a great job was little Maizie, she is only 7lbs, but Anna’s Ruby was so sweet to her 🥰 Anna was really attentive to Maizie’s eating habits - she is a picky eater and was able to eat her full meal by day two, would love to rebook with Anna again.”
“Latara was so sweet and took care of my dog that takes extra care. She was such a blessing and I was comfortable on my out of town trip knowing Milo was in excellent hands. Because of his stay at Latara’s hime, Milo know knows how to use a pee pad, he just couldn’t get the hang of it at hime. Thank you again and again”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Utica
Dawn was absolutely wonderful with Bentley over the 4th of July holiday! He was a bit timid staying in a new place, but Dawn was incredibly accommodating and made him feel right at home. She gave him the perfect amount of attention to help him settle in and stay comfortable. Bentley also needed daily medication, and Dawn handled his dosage schedule perfectly without any hesitation. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care for those 5 days. Highly recommend!
Laura and Joe were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Fozzie, while we were away on a 12-day trip to Ireland. Leaving your dog for that long is never easy, but they made it so much easier with thoughtful daily updates and plenty of pictures that gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that Fozzie was not only well cared for, but genuinely loved and happy. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup, which says everything about the care and attention he received. We would wholeheartedly recommend Laura and Joe to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitters. We wouldn’t hesitate to book 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.

There are 1,428 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.

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 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.
