Emily did a fantasic job taking care of our two dogs and our guinea pig while we were away. Her communicatiom was excellent. One of our dogs has a medical condition requiring daily vitamins and sometimes medication. Emily was vigilant in watching our animals for signs of health or discomfort. Emily went above and beyond with taking in packages and mail while we were away as well. We came home to very happy animals. We would gladly hire Emily again!

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and experience caring for others. As a youth sports director and coach, I am responsible for the safety and well-being of over 100 children, which has taught me the importance of trust, consistency, and attention to detail. I bring those same qualities to pet care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks, a young puppy working on routines and basic manners, or a senior pet that needs a little extra patience and care, I am committed to providing personalized attention. I am active, dependable, and highly organized, and I pride myself on keeping pet owners updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. As a coach and sports program director, I am highly organized and accustomed to planning my schedule around the needs of others. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks, playtime, and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine, whether that means feeding schedules, medication administration, potty breaks, or simply providing companionship and affection. I make it a priority to give every pet the attention and care they deserve and to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication administration (if needed), and any special preferences or routines. During visits, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy. I understand that pets can experience stress when their owners are away, so I focus on providing a calm, positive, and caring environment. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean and secure while I'm there. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe and well cared for. Whether it's an energetic dog that needs extra exercise, a cat that prefers quiet companionship, or a senior pet that requires a little extra patience and attention, I adapt my care to meet each pet's individual needs.

About: I was born and raised to love dogs. I grew up in a household that bred Rottweilers and I could not be anymore grateful for the lessons of love and care for animals it instilled in me. I began caring for other's pets when I was in high school. Over a decade later I have had experience in short and long-term overnight care/house sitting, day-visits, walks, and some medication administration for pets of all ages and sizes. I have a special spot in my heart for senior pets and giving them the extra love and care they deserve. I know that every home and pet has unique needs and ways to be taken care of. I believe with clear communication I am able to approach each new pet care situation with confidence that we can both feel when you leave your loved ones in my care! I am currently just working part time and have lots of flexibility/weekend availability. I love to take early morning walks with dogs, especially given that it's summer I keep the heat in mind and have availability during the cooler hours. I have reliable transportation to come to your home! I am a very organized and clean person so if I am welcomed into your home I assure it will be treated with respect and care. For walks I believe I am very observant and aware of my surroundings, ensuring safety for both myself and your pet(s).

Kelli went above and beyond to take care of my cat while I was out of town. I left an incorrect key to my building for her, and she found out what door the key did open and still made every visit. My cat is not very easy going and I appreciated all her care with my cat and communication with me.

Lindsey was great! Our meet and great went well and i felt right away that she was perfect. She has the experience and background that made me comfortable. Lindsey followed all of my crazy long notes and specifications. She did everything we asked and how we wanted it. I was able to be at work and not have to worry about the care my (fur)kids were receiving, I received good updates and detailed post visit notes. We are very cautious on who we let in our home and with our dogs. But I am extremely happy and confident with Linsey. We already booked her for our next two visits.

About: I've had animals my entire life, with my first pet being a rabbit named Angel! For the past three years, I've worked professionally in animal care, gaining experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I'm also experienced in caring for a variety of small animals, including rabbits, rodents, reptiles, and birds in both a professional and personal setting. I am Fear-Free certified and have an in-depth understanding of canine body language and regularly work with dogs that have handling sensitivities, food or resource guarding behaviors, and stranger or dog reactivity. My experience also includes working in zoological settings, and I currently care for dogs, cats, and small animals in an animal shelter. I have a deep respect for every animal I meet and strive to provide compassionate, attentive care to everyone—from the tiniest mouse to the largest Great Dane. Reptiles hold a special place in my heart, so you can trust that I'll love and care for your scaly babies as if they were my own! I work professionally in animal care three days a week and would love to spend my extra time helping care for your fur, feathered, and scaly companions! I’m passionate about providing loving, attentive care to every animal I meet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a Fear Free Certified animal care professional, I use low-stress handling techniques and adapt my approach to each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special behavioral or medical considerations, I'm committed to providing calm, compassionate care. I'll always follow your care instructions closely and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible while you're away. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I require an in-home meet and greet with all new dog friends to make sure they're comfortable with me entering their space while you're away.

About: Hello! I am a PhD student at UofR who enjoys spending time outdoors and caring for pets. I'm turning to Rover to find new clients after previously babysitting both cats and dogs in my apartment building, whose owners have recently moved away. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks and hikes, and have experience with many animals, having spent most of my life on a farm. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and keep them happy and active! I am happy to provide references. As a student, my schedule is busiest midweek, but I have plenty of free time on weekends and can easily accommodate mornings and evenings. Mondays and Fridays are also more flexible, making them great days for drop-ins, walks, or house sitting visits. I want to make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I do have a car and can transport larger dogs if needed, but I usually prefer caring for pets in their own home. I can do drop-in visits, house sitting, and taking dogs on walks in your neighborhood or mine (wherever they feel most at ease).

This is playtime, walk time, downtime for the pups, and/ or cleaning time for us! We understand plans might change and can accommodate if given prior notice! Our quiet hours are after 10 pm, meaning we do not allow pick-ups or drop-offs after 10 pm. *We do daily updates for stays less than 14 days, and every other day updates for any stays longer than 14 days!

Sophie is absolutely amazing! Definitely one of (if not the) best Rover sitters that we’ve had! She met with us beforehand to review everything, and kept in constant communication throughout the time we were away. Our cat was obsessed with Sophie from the meet and greet, and we could tell from the updates we received she remained throughly happy ☺️ We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Sari is a fantastic sitter for my somewhat shy and finicky older cat. She follows all the instructions I leave as well as providing a full accounting of each of her drop in visits. When I need a sitter for when I’m going to be out of town, I always check to see if she’ll be available first.

I only expected someone to stop in briefly to feed our two cats for a few days, but Rylee really did make herself their bff ! She was thoughtful with their feeding as one gets sick if he overeats and the other was on a new diet. She spent lots of time giving them attention and cuddles, and engaging them in play. She was respectful of our home and is an excellent and responsive communicator. From now on I can rest easy knowing who I’m going to contact for a friendsitter for Jet and Marvin—Rylee all the way. Thanks Rylee!

Kasia was great with our animals! Our dog is an anxious boy, and we've never left him with anyone but family for only a night or two. She took care of our animals over a week, and earned my dog's full trust! She's very patient and thorough, and went above and beyond to squeeze in an extra visit when we didn't have someone to help! Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Rochester on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 464 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Rochester. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Rochester. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.

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.
