About: With years of experience caring for pets, I’ve developed a deep understanding and love for animals. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own. My dog, adopted at 2 months old, is now 1 year old and I’ve trained her through all of puppyhood, and my cat is 4 years old, who I’ve cared for since she was 3 months old. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, and I walk and care for a dog for an elderly lady in my town multiple times a week. I also have experience with training dogs and providing attentive care for elderly pets, ensuring each one receives the special attention they need. My dedication and hands-on experience set me apart as a compassionate and reliable pet sitter. I currently work part-time and remotely with a very flexible work schedule. I am available almost every day to care for pets, and am very flexible with my hours. In my home or yours, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a pet-friendly, secure environment with constant supervision and plenty of affection. I follow all safety protocols, including secure leashes and harnesses for walks, and I ensure a clean, hazard-free space for your pet to explore and relax. Your pet will always receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs, ensuring a happy and stress-free experience. Trust that your furry friend is in capable and loving hands with me.

Lisa was absolutely amazing! Watson loved his time there. She has a large, fenced in backyard and Watson really enjoyed the ability to run around and get lots of exercise. Lisa played fetch with Watson and sent lots of pictures and videos of Watson playing. Lisa was attentive and provided me with thorough updates and feedback. She really loved on Watson and I could tell how much he loved being with her ?. He would run excitedly right up to her front door every morning and would be sad to leave in the eveninings. Thank you so much, Lisa!

About: I have always lived in a house filled with animals inside and out. We primarily had dogs for pets and would usually at least have 2, from puppies to seniors I’ve loved and cared for all sizes and would love to care for your fur babies as well! There is no size too big or too small, I adore all very much and know how worrying it is to leave your pet in someone else’s care, I assure you they would be loved very much while in my hands! I work from home so I have plenty of time and availability to spend and care for your fur baby while you’re away! I do have my step children every other weekend so communication will be key if your pet is not child friendly and if your schedule will work for me, but I am open to working with you as much as I can! I currently have 2 indoor dogs, both crate and (mostly) potty trained. I have a mid sized boxer and a small mix breed, they are both girls that are dog and kid friendly and as sweet as can be. I have plenty of yard space(not fenced), a quiet road to walk them on, and a runner for solo outside/potty time. I do live in a dog neighborhood with lots of distractions so your fur baby would be kept on a leash at all times when outdoors

About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.

We did our meet and greet last week with Jaylin and Charles and they were so kind and compassionate. Our sweet Oakley is a 6 month old rescue and super scared of people, noises and dogs. They made us feel so welcome. Today we took him back for his first daycare and she sent pictures of Charles hold him and him with another dog! I was so surprised that he opened up to them that quickly. You can tell their love of animals as soon as you meet them! Can't wait to have their help in socializing him and making him more confident and trusting. So glad we found them! Thanks to you both!

About: I began working in dog/cat boarding facilities at 16 years old. From grooming to training, I have done it all! I own a professional dog training business and have for been training for the last 12 years. I trial and compete with my personal dogs as well! I have experience with young energetic puppies- to seniors who need more advanced and personal care. I am home full time training and entertaining dogs 24/7. l start walks at 7am and then serve breakfast, throughout the day I walk as needed or every 2 hours, as well as offer frozen kongs, playing with the ball or another pup, or a walk around the neighborhood to get tired. Dinner is around 5-6 and last outside time is at 10pm generally! I care for pets in my own home. I have a fenced in back yard, with tires/a tire swing, 24/7 surveillance as well as plenty of toys and water always available. I provide blankets, bowls, toys, a tv with relaxing music, and daily pictures with updates! 🥰 My property is completely fenced, offering ample space for your pup to frolic and play freely! Indoors, they'll receive the same love and care as if they were my own pet. Unless you specify otherwise, your dog is more than welcome to join me on the bed or sofa during our downtime—because they're truly part of the family.

About: I am a compassionate warm hearted person. I have always adored animals and look forward to spending time with new ones. Animals are a huge part of my life and I would love to help others feel safe knowing that a true animal lover is watching over their pet. I have been away from my pet and understand the anxiety that comes from worrying about them. It brings me joy to allow you to enjoy your time away from home without worrying about that family member you left behind I have taken care of my own animals since I was a child. I have watched many of my friends animals. I will respect our arrangement, your home (if I'm taking care of your pet at your resident), and above all I will respect your pet. Why I love dog sitting I have always had a love for dogs. I have owned dogs since I was a child and have always took care of them. I have watched many friends and neighbors dogs while they were away. I look forward to watching your dog. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication given the proper instructions. I work from home and I am available to be with your animal for the majority of the time they are in my care. I am also naturally a home body so your pet will rarely be alone! I will respect are agreement and will treat your animal with the same love and respect I would treat one of my own. You can feel at ease knowing the person caring for your animal actually cares.

Julia and her husband and her father were FANTASTIC!!!! They are so kind and Pepper had the best time playing with them and their pup Sara Mae. We did not worry a bit about her while we were gone because we knew she was well taken care of. We will absolutely ask Julia to help with Pepper again!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Utica

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Utica on Rover is $43.29 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 270 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Utica. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Utica commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

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 SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 270 sitters in Utica, 83% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.
