“Kate was great with our 2 dogs' second experience with Rover. Our smaller one is an anxious rescue who takes a while to get comfortable. Kate was patient and understanding with her. I definitely recommend boarding with her.”
“Rochelle was amazing! Took wonderful care of our puppy, send lots of updates and was very communicative! Put our mind at ease for our first time away and will definitely use her again!”
“Samantha and her partner are just amazing! Took care of Kiwi’s very complex medical needs and even made sure she was comfortable walking with her arthritis by layout out rugs for her to walk on she she doesn’t slip. She even made her own chart to keep track of kiwis meds to make sure she never missed a dose. She’s amazing and will be our go to as long as we live in the area! Cant recommend enough!”
“Ivy is a very shy dog so we were very nervous to leave her for the first time. Carol was reassuring in her kind gentle voice that she’d be fine. She sent daily notes and pictures. When I went to pick her up Ivy actually hid behind Carol. Hurt my feelings, but I knew she had bonded with Carol which is exactly what you want in a care provider. So thanks again Carol for an awesome job!”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs for 20 years. We currently only have one 10 year old mixed breed little boy but he is used to being with other dogs. I work from home in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for walks. I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m flexible and can take pets out as often as needed. I’m experienced with giving meds and injections. We can go for long or short walks, whatever works for your pet. My dog is crate trained but spends most of his time at my feet or laying in bed. I’m flexible with whatever your pet needs.
About: I've had pets in my life since the day I was born, and as a teen I spent several years working in an animal shelter, caring for animals and working with the health team. I'm experienced with puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with behavioral challenges, and visually impaired and deaf animals. I've also cared for dogs with serious health needs like cancer and diabetes. I'm not a vet or vet tech, but I'm comfortable with basic care like changing a bandage, and I know how to respond in an emergency and reach the nearest emergency care. I also sit cats, birds, small critters, and reptiles. For dogs, I like to start with a meet and greet, so I ask for as much advance notice as possible, though I'm flexible in emergencies. If you'd like, I can also arrange grooming and specialized training as an additional service while your pet is in my care, provided through a licensed groomer and trainer. Your pet will be treated like family. I work from home, so I offer daytime care during work hours as well as overnight boarding while you travel. Your pet gets plenty of one-on-one time and extra TLC when needed. All pet care happens in my home on a quiet street in the Village of Manchester. I work remotely, so your pet is never left alone for long. Dogs get lots of one-on-one time, and I'm happy to send updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I start with a neutral meet and greet to make sure everyone gets along with my dog Leo. I have a large backyard with natural tree lines and barriers, but safety comes first. Any dog in my care stays on a leash or tie out whenever they're outside, with no exceptions, even if a yard is fenced. I'm happy to take short walks into the yard, and if your pet prefers pet pads, I can provide those. Cats get a quiet room behind closed doors, separate from my own cats, and can stay in their crate, come out, or sit with me in my office. I know how to respond in an emergency and how to reach the nearest emergency care.
“Cara and Dan are the best. Goose settled in with them right away. They sent me lots of updates and pictures so I was constantly in the loop about her well-being. It was so nice to be able to leave town and have know that Goose was well-taken care of and in good hands”
“Excellent hosts! Even before I finished dropping off my 20lb Cavalier mix Lindsy was already figuring out what terms he listens to and how he likes to play. When I picked him up he wasn’t interested in water(meaning he had already had his fill), his eyes were clean, and he was that perfect level of tired that showed he had been played with well. I will be back and would suggest Lindsy and her home to anyone.”
“We took our dog to Debra while we went away for a long weekend and she was amazing. Our dog was very happy there and well cared for and she got lots of snuggles! We will definetly be booking with Debra again for future boarding.”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who knows that our pets our family. I am a senior dog owner to two puggles and they are treated like royalty. I provide reliable dog walking and pet sitting with plenty of care, patience and playtime. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra love while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm also comfortable feeding, light grooming (brushing), and giving extra snuggles if needed. I'd love to help you care for your furry friend like I do my own! I am currently getting a second masters degree online and I am home most of the time (info for pet parents who are looking for services). I take my dogs on lots of walks each day to get all of their sniffs in! I live in a townhouse and every time we go outside my dogs are on leashes. They go on about five walks a day. I would love to ensure your dog gets adequate exercise too!
“Our dog had such a great time with Jose! Jose was quick to get a hold of, flexible with setting up a meet and greet, and offers such a great rate for dog sitting. We will absolutely be returning!”
“Erin was incredible!! This was my first time in 14.5 years of having Brooklyn leaving her with someone who wasn’t a family member or friend and I was nervous! Erin made me feel so comfortable and eased all of my anxieties. She took great care of Brooklyn and provided great pictures with updates. Your pet will be in great hands with Erin!”
“Amy was lovely to work with and was very accommodating of our and our dog's needs. Her offer to pick up and return our dog took a stress off of a busy travel schedule. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Hannah did a great job with our dog Maisie! It was our first time using rover and being away from our dog so we were a little nervous but Hannah made Maisie feel right at home, and she sent many pictures, videos and text updates so we knew Maisie was in good hands! We will certainly use her again!”
“She watched over my cat for a couple of hours and was amazing. Updated me with pictures and videos making sure he was okay. He loved the pets and attention from her. Definitely would recommend!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Canandaigua
Rest assured that your dogs are in good hands with Dianna and Matthew! They are very friendly, professional, and sent us several updates with pictures on our dogs’ overnight stay. We aren’t from the area, so it can sometimes feel nerve wracking picking someone you don’t know to watch your pets- but I had zero concerns after meeting Diana. I think all their great reviews speak for themselves. The big fenced back yard was the highlight of our dogs’ visit. They loved running around playing. If we are ever in the area again, we will rebook because I know they’ll take great care of my pets! Thanks again!
It was with great trepidation that I booked an overnight for our wonder dog Xylo. You see he had never been left with a stranger before and I was very nervous about leaving him. However, we had an absolutely awesome experience with Kate! The communication was outstanding! When I sent a text to ask about him (within a hour after dropping him off) she replied within minutes with pictures. In the morning, I received an update with how he did overnight as well as a video showing him eating his breakfast. Xylo was happy and relaxed the entire stay and we were thrilled with the care that he received!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Canandaigua can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Canandaigua home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Canandaigua.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Canandaigua. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Canandaigua sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 NY 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
