“Couldn’t recommend Sarah and Nick highly enough. Pepper stayed with them for 18 days and she seemed to have a blast! We got updates with very cute photos very often, which gave us a lot of piece of mind while we were away! Will book again for sure!”
“Abby always takes great care of my chihuahua. She’s very communicative and was super flexible and understanding when my flight got delayed and Buster had to stay longer than anticipated. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Craig as Barney’s pet sitter! Craig was an excellent communicator, providing daily updates along with adorable pictures. He took Barney on regular walks and made sure he was comfortable in his welcoming home. It was clear that Craig cared for Barney like he was his own dog. Barney had a fantastic time, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely recommend Craig to others and look forward to using his services again in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Kelly was happy to meet with me and my dog before we booked. She is so warm and friendly, and her dog Suzie is a such a sweetheart. All on my part, but I did not realize my young dog would have separation anxiety with a very upset stomach, and Kelly handled things like a pro. I called my vet after our stay to see what calming options I could use in the future, and she told me Kelly was an excellent Rover host if she was able to get my dog's stomach back to normal. Kelly went above and beyond, feeding my dog a bland diet and trying home remedies we discussed over the phone to get her back to normal. She sent photos and communicated with me daily. I would absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Nia sent pictures and a report of how my fur baby was doing everyday. She was quick to respond to any communication I sent her. She was caring and loving. Her home was very inviting and pet friendly. I would give her a 5 star review!”
“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!”
“Meredith was super kind, lovely and made my little Bichon Frisé felt totally at home. She updated me with videos and pictures constantly even describing how my little one was feeling each day. Definitely I’ll book Meredith again, she is the best!”
“Angela took great care of our dog. She sent multiple pictures each day with updates. Flexible with timing of drop off and pick up. Easy to communicate with. Will use her services again.”
“such a sweet dog sitter that made us feel comfortable leaving or high anxiety dog with her for the night while we went to a wedding. i would recommend booking with her!”
About: Here to help with all your pets needs. Love being around dogs and have enough room for yours to run around and have a great time. Been raising dogs for over 12 years! I have always had dogs in my life and love being around them. Friends bring their dogs over , family , my yard is over a half acre and there’s plenty of room to run! Working on finish fencing in my back yard for the ability to leave dogs outside for longer periods. They will always be supervised and will get a lot of running in while being over!
About: As both a lifelong dog owner and a healthcare professional, I bring compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. Growing up with dogs — and now being completely obsessed with my own — has taught me how important routine, safety, and genuine affection are. My background in healthcare means I’m dependable, highly attentive, and comfortable handling special instructions or medical needs. Your pet’s well-being and comfort will always be my top priority. Your dog will be treated like family, with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently have a hybrid work schedule I would be gone working Monday-Wednesday for up to 4 hours total in the mornings between 8am and 12pm but home with dogs the rest of the day after that. I work fully remote Thursdays and Fridays and then home all weekend. If I do have to leave or run errands I make sure dogs are not alone for too long and have never left my dog alone for more than 5 hours max. I have a large fenced in yard and 2 dogs who love to run and play. There is no furniture that is off limits, dogs are allowed anywhere they would like. Caring for the pet would mean working around the dogs schedule and routine. Dog would receive lots of exercise, treats and cuddles.
“We cannot day enough about Brittany and how wonderful she is. Our dogs had a blast running around playing all weekend. She picks up on their unique personalities and quirks which lets us know how attentive she is!”
“We left our 9 month old pup with Fandi for one week and we couldn't be happier with the care she provided. Fandi provided plenty of pictures and updates, which kept us at ease during our trip. Fandi is extremely professional and it's clear that our pup enjoyed his stay. We would rebook with Fandi in a heartbeat and highly recommend her for anyone looking for trustworthy care.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog while I was out of town. Charlotte is the sweetest and went above and beyond with her care. She stayed in constant contact and sent pics throughout the stay as well. If you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby as their own, charlotte is the one! I will definitely be using her for stays in the future. Thanks again :)”
“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 😊”
“Michaela was wonderful! She took amazing care of my dog, Penny, and kitten, Auggie. Michaela was very responsive, shared lots of photos, and I knew my pets were in great care with her. I’m already planning to book her again!”
“Colson seemed happy and had plenty of playmates. Amanda was a responsible pet sitter and boarder. He was boarded for two weeks while we were on vacation. Amanda was able to deal with Colson’s barking in an appropriate way. So far at home, his barking is not as big of a problem, although he’s awfully tired, too! We would use Amanda again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Utica
Laura was absolutely wonderful with Addy and Maddy! The girls settled in quickly, and the steady stream of pictures made it clear they were making themselves right at home. Meanwhile, I could relax, knowing they were in such loving care. She treated them like her own and was so thoughtful about their comfort, their surroundings, and how they fit in with her family pets. That kind of care means everything. My girls were spoiled with a capital S! I’m pretty sure they thought they were on vacation, too. Highly, highly, HIGHLY, recommend Laura! 🐾❤️
Morina was absolutely lovely to board with, she was very flexible and helpful at every step and my boy returned to me even happier and more spoiled than when he left. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone who will treat their pet like family :)
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.
Haley is the BEST. She was super accommodating, communicative, and so attentive with my fur babies. She sent pictures throughout the days I was gone alongside little updates and my dogs looked so happy and at peace with her. Took them for walks, kept them energized, loved on them during nap time - you name it. 10/10 not only recommending her, but using her again for any of our needs while we are away. Your animals are in AMAZING hands with her. :)
