“Richard cared for our 16 year old cat that has chronic health issues. Our cat takes several medications twice a day and eats a prescription diet. He did a great job, was very responsive, responsible and would contact me if he had a question. We felt like we left our cat and home in good hands. I will hire Richard again in the future when we need someone to look after our cat.”
“Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with our Gabby! She was so patient and understanding with Gabby’s anxiety, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she looks after and goes the extra mile to make them feel safe and comfortable. Gabby was very well taken care of, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would definitely use Elizabeth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!”

About: Welcome! I just started an LLC if you want to check my Facebook out! You can find me at “Backwoods K-9 Boarding and Daycare LLC” Hi everyone!! We are going to be back Open June 2025 after being closed down for a few months for the birth of our daughter! I can’t wait to start back up, we will be doing this slowly and based on our family needs. I’ve been taking care of dogs/cats all my life to small animals to big animals I love them all! I am available anytime throughout the day and will always be home! This is my full time job! Your pets will love the fenced in yard and all the yard to run around! This is my full time job! So I have all the time to take care of your pup! We have a fenced in yard so your dog will have plenty of room to burn their energy off. We can take the dogs on walks as well. We have 3 very friendly pets Daisy, Toby, and Gracie they will help socialize with your animal and will love playing! All dogs will be boarded in my house and are allowed on the couch or bed! Also we can crate if needed. I wake up around 8a, let the dogs out then I separate the dogs for feeding time, after they ate I’ll let them out and they have all day to play. I offer Apple air tags as well for an extra measure of safety. For house sitting I offer daily check ups, I do not offer overnights.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. What even is life without a furry friend? Me and Archie are looking to make some new furends! We love to Netflix and chill but are open to going for longer walks & have tons of toys to play with! I work a normal 9-5 so I prioritize my mornings and afternoons for the furry friends. Just like we need our coffee, they need their morning walk and breakfast! I have a small but clean space, with a decent sized yard for playing & pooping! My space is pretty quiet too! No complaints from Archie.
“Sharon and James sat with our guys in home for a week, did great with the indoor pets and the poultry didn’t scare them off. Everything went well, they were very communicative throughout, and everyone was calm and happy when we got back!”
“Ella took great care of our two pups and home. It was a pleasure to come home from vacation to happy dogs, a clean home and blooming flowers. She sent us photos and communicated regularly so we had peace of mind on our vacation. We highly recommend Ella!”
About: I have a German Shepherd and walk him every night around Canandaigua. He loves adventures and it is quite clear that dogs love to travel. I love to make sure they are having fun and are being stimulated. Dogs are so smart. It is fun to interact and treat them like friends. I am available all the time and have experience taking my neighbor's dogs out once a day as she was away at work. This was a truly fun experience and has compelled me to seek out more opportunities like that. I wish to meet more dogs and like-minded people who appreciate how dogs provide unconditional love whether you are having a good day or a bad one. Endlessly, they love. It is beautiful.
“Heather was wonderful with our senior dog, Pippin. Though he doesn't have a complex routine to follow, he's a quirky guy that likes to be VERY close to his person, is forgetful, and sometimes barky due to his age. Heather "got" Pippin right away. We felt she genuinely understood his habits and his singular approach to life. Heather sent just the right amount of updates and photos. Pippin was in good hands with Heather. We are very grateful to her and highly recommend her!”
“Kylie came to our house to stay with Walter for a couple of days while we went out of town. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures, and the house was clean and tidy when we got home! I highly recommend using Kylie ☺️”
“Montana was great! On time and stayed in contact the entire time we were gone. She sent updates and pictures putting our minds at ease. Lucy seemed to take to her right away which spoke volumes. Will definitely use her again and again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We have always had at least one dog in the house if not more. In the past 6 years I have helped my parents to puppy train twice. I love dogs unconditionally, but I am not afraid to show a little tough love when needed. I’m currently going back to school and attend a lot of local sporting events but I still make it a priority to take my dog for a walk daily. Whether we fit in a walk before I leave in the morning or in-between class and a game, I know how much she loves her walks. I also make sure to give her ample play time when I am home. I make sure that whether the pet is in a fenced in yard or not I am always keeping an eye on them when outside. I always respect the clients wishes regarding their animal being on furniture, in what rooms, and such on.
About: As a passionate and dependable dog sitter, I provide loving care and attention for your furry family members while you’re away. With years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for your pets. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, meal times or play sessions ensure your dog’s routine is maintained and their needs are met. I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and compassionate, treating every dog as if they were my own. I work overnights at the hospital 8 hours a night and sleep until around 4 pm daily so please make drop off after that time. In my home I will give your dogs so much attention and love! I’ve always enjoyed spending my time with different animals, especially all dogs
About: Hello! My name is Jahlea and I have always had animals in my house, those with and without fur, including fish, axolotls, hamsters, guinea pigs, a medium-sized terrier mix rescue dog and 2 large labradors. I have cared for and have loved my pets with all of my heart and I plan to do the same for your big and little ones as well. I have over 12 years of experience caring for various animals including bunnies, bearded dragons, dogs, cats, and fish. My specialty is caring for dogs and cats including those that are needing medicine (by injection or pill), are seniors, or have special needs. I am also a frequent petsitter for foster dogs so I have lots of experience with dogs that have emotional and behavioral issues and the patience and care it takes while they learn what it means to be loved again. I look forward to setting up a meet and greet with you and your furry friends! I will make sure that your pets feel comfortable and safe just as you would and I cant wait to give them lots of love!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. My friends and family have been relying on me to walk and feed their dogs for years! Cuddles are also a must! May or may not talk to them like they are babies (which they 100% are) I currently work full-time at an elementary school, so this is only a weekend gig. That being said, I love going to watch and walk dogs of all kind!! Typically when I’m walking a dog, I make sure the dog goes at its own pace. It’s the dogs walk, not mine. That being said, I do what’s necessary to keep them from harm. I also will play with your dog whether it is just a walk-session or a full house stay.
About: I have been a pet sitter, and dog-walker for 3 years in Maine. I am extremely caring and detail-oriented when taking care of new furry friends. I have raised Double Doodle and Goldendoodle puppies, and am happy to work on positive reinforcement training with young dogs! I am available for dog-walks at night after 5pm as well as open on the weekends for house sitting and checking in on pets while the owner is traveling. I am happy to evaluate the space where the pet sleeps, eats, and where the best areas for walks are in the neighborhood. For house-sitting appointments, a designated space to sleep is preferred to be able to care for the animal overnight as needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Clifton Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 455 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Clifton Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Clifton Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Clifton Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Clifton Springs choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
