“Cindy is very trustworthy! She makes sure to utilize the full minutes you paid for and is great at taking care of cats! She just does not only makes sure your pet is well-fed, she also makes sure they’re happy while you’re away! ❤️”
“Cory was amazing and available at the last minute, which was an absolute bonus for us, considering I had forgotten about making sure the dog was set up for while we were away for the day :-)”
“Elizabeth was fantastic with our boys. We (boys included) knew as soon as we met her, she was a perfect fit. This was our first time using Rover but Elizabeth really put our mind at ease. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Sharon & James took great care of our two dogs while we were away! They sent lots of pictures and updates after every visit, which we really appreciated. Communication was great from the meet-and-greet through the last drop-in. We had some pretty nasty storms while we were gone, and they went above and beyond by bringing our packages inside, keeping us updated, and making extra efforts to get the dogs outside. We came home to two happy pups and look forward to booking with Sharon & James again. Highly recommend!”
“Jennifer is incredible!! She came and helped me very last minute and my dogs absolutely loved her. She is kind and caring and played very well with the pups! Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Stephanie was very open and responsive to information about the history and strategies we've used with my anxious/reactive dog and we're looking forward to visiting with her again soon.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of various kinds since I was 10. Friends, family and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. Currently I work on a 10 month contract. Therefore I have summer off so I have plenty of time to provide pet care to those in need of such services. I am a very trustworthy person who has tremendous respect for other people’s property and belongings. I especially respect pets with their needs and desires.
About: I am a responsible and dependable dog lover with several years of experience caring for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a teacher and mom, I am patient, attentive, and organized, and I understand the importance of providing pets with consistent care, exercise, and companionship. Whether it's drop-in visits, walks, feeding, or playtime, I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a teacher, I have a structured schedule and am very organized and dependable. During the summer, I have flexible availability for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. During the school year, I am available before and after school and on weekends. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, making pet care a natural and rewarding part of my routine. I provide loving, attentive care while keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their regular feeding, exercise, medication, and potty schedules, provide companionship and playtime, and ensure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away.
“Victoria is AMAZING! She took care of all three of my creatures while we were gone for a few days. She is excellent with animals, even challenging ones. She is prepared and communicative. She also gave great recommendations for what was needed while we were gone. She is trustworthy and I highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we are happy with our experience with Shaunna! Definitely going to rebook her the next time we need a dog sitter! She was so kind when we met her in person, my dog and my little daughters liked her. Shaunna was communicative throughout the whole week we were gone, she took pictures and went above and beyond. She brought Estee out to use the restroom, went on walks, gave medication, refilled her water bowl, and gave her lots of cuddles. We are very thankful for her taking care of our sheltie Estee!”
“We keep rebooking with Maria because she is reliable, trustworthy, and takes great care of our 3 kitties. She keeps excellent communication and we never have to worry. We’ll rebook again next time too! Thank you Maria!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and even bunnies! I’ve taken care of young animals and senior pets. From calm to rowdy and energetic, I’m always here for the experience! I love animals of all kind, and I am excited to take care of your pets next! I’m pretty much available whenever I’m needed. I’m currently only working part time, so I have plenty of time to hang with your pets!! I’m also available for ANY holidays. When caring for your pet in your home, I can adjust to any schedule/routine and follow it exactly. Pets can get stressed if their routine changes, so I’m just here to ensure their time away from you is as comfortable and easy (and fun) as possible. When caring for a pet in my home, I have a big backyard to run and play on a quiet street. I do have a couple cats so as long as your baby is okay with cats, they’re okay with it too!
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong work ethic and a drive to airways continue learning. Most of my animal experience lies with horses, BUT I also have prior experience working at an animal hospital that provided boarding services for many smaller animals! (Dogs, cats, even some reptiles and bunnies) I primarily took care of boarders and assisted staff with handling and restraining patients for treatment. I handled scheduled play times, feedings, potty breaks, patient check-ins, etc. I have hands on experience with giving oral medications to dogs and cats, some experience in reptile care as well. Lots of special needs and senior dogs that needed a lot of care and medications. As long as there's a detailed note to follow, I can get it done. I am very cautious and take my job as an animal caretaker very seriously. As a horse and cat owner, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your fur-family in the care of someone else! I will always make sure to do the best I can to leave your fur-babies safe, happy, and comfortable. Animal behavior and training is something I've always been interested in, so I'm always looking to learn more about up to date training methods as well as the best ways to take care of my pets and the ones in my care! I'm currently working Saturday-Monday 7-7 so my schedule stays pretty flexible on my days off (Tuesday-Friday). Tuesdays I can offer limited availability (7am-1:30pm) Wednesday-Friday I can make just about anything work as long as it leaves time during the day to visit my horse :) Any time I'm caring for a family dog or any pet, I'll freshen their water, make sure they've been fed (and that they ate all their food) and that their behavior is normal. If I Iet them out to use the bathroom I'll keep an eye out to make sure everything looks normal and healthy and that they're not acting unwell. If they're interested, we'll play a little bit before I leave. Same routine for cats, except instead of taking them out to go potty I'll clean their litter box.
“We really like Alicia! Alicia is very responsive and easy to work with. They sent us a report after the visit with a video of our kitties and took care of everything we requested. We’ve already booked Alicia for house sitting next!”
“Peggy did a great job caring for our cat while we were on vacation for a week. She took daily pictures and gave us small status updates to reassure us that our cat was doing fine in our absence. We worry about her because we work from home so she’s used to constant company, and knowing that Peggy was dropping by to give her some love, playtime, and her food was wonderful!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and my families dogs since I was 11 years old. I have trained all of my dogs starting at a young age. I have taken care of multiple senior dogs and helped them live their last days comfortably. Extremely flexible scheduling to fully care for and love on your animals, including walks, in-home pet sitting. I welcome animals of all shapes and sizes. Rest assured your animals will feel nothing but love from me the entire time. I am available to come for a quick visit whether that means a short or long walk, feeding, and/or potty breaks, feedings, etc. If prior discussion, I can stay while you are away. I will happily handle anything that your loving pets may need during your absence.

This is the second time Maria has checked in on my cats while I was away and she has been fantastic!! She always gives me an update about what she’s done and how the cats are doing. She also sends lots of pictures, which I love! I would definitely recommend her and will hire her again the next time I go away!
Cindy is a good kind person and someone I felt very comfortable with taking care of my cat when I was away. She followed instructions explicitly and kept me informed whatever she came by via text and pictures. I was so happy that I chose Cindy and will certainly do so in the future as well.
Hailly is the main reason we can get away and leave our mischievous high energy orange cat alone for a few days - we rest easy knowing she’s there to take care of him! She’s dependable, communicative, and flexible! She even made an emergency second trip one day for us - thank you Hailly you are the BEST and Henry Tunamac loves you 🥰

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Canandaigua on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 889 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Canandaigua. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Canandaigua stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
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.
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.
