About: Hi, I am a volunteer EMT and have a life long passion for dogs and all animals. On my spare time, my wife (Melinda) and I enjoy various aspects of the outdoors, no matter the season. We frequently pet sit for my brother-in law's German Shepard, who is full of energy, of which I have learned all the commands and public interaction techniques. This has been ongoing for approximately the past 4 years. * Melinda and I extensively clean and disinfect our house not only before and after each dog but also on a regular basis as well. We are excited to be part of your dog care needs and you can be sure your pets will be well taken care of with us as a smooth transition. Whether it is walking, playing, or pet sitting, we are here to help! Please message us as you know your plans. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to hearing from you! Conveniently I work very close to home and can come home to check on the puppy on my lunch break though that time varies from day to day. We have a long lead in our backyard that we can adjust accordingly and we are always outside with your fur-baby. We also have friendly neighbors and multiple eyes checking in periodically. My wife and I have a fleece-lined jacket 4 any puppy to help combat the weather. Additionally we have couch protectors, Memory Foam bed, a basket of toys, and food and water dish set up
“Alexandra is a fantastic dog sitter. She dog sat my 3 dogs at home, by dropping by. She send me fantastic pictures of my furbabies. You can tell the fun and happiness my dogs are having with her. I love all the photos she took and the best ones are the active shots she took of them. I had no stress and was worry free for a week on a wedding vacation. I definitely recommend her to take care of your furbabies.”
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).
About: I am reliable and flexible. I have taken care pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish my whole life. I currently have one dog and two cats.I also have a sixty five gallon fish tank where I have tropical fish. I have had to bottle feed and take care of special needs animals. I am a recently retired school teacher and I am available all day. I have reliable transportation and I am very flexible with my time.my day starts off feeding playing with and walking my pets. Through out the day includes playing ball and swimming with my dog. We eat dinner go out to play one more time before bed. I understand routines are very important for our pets. I will follow any particular instructions or routines that will make your pet feel comfortable with me.
About: I have had experience with animals for as long as I can remember! I have taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes from chihuahuas to great danes! I love big dogs and have plenty of experience with dog and human reactive pets! I will care for any animal as if it is my own and will be happy to share any updates or photos as needed or wanted! :) I am an emergency nurse so my schedule differs every week! I have four days off a week and every other weekend off to care for pets! While I am unable to care for other pets in my home, I am happy to come to your home and care for your pet in an environment that is most comfortable for them!
About: I have had 2 dogs since I was 8 years old. I've learned to feed them, clean them, and play with them. I love playing and cuddling with my dogs. I have filled in for my older sister who also dog sits. My family has taken care of multiple dogs at our home over the years. I am comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I look forward to spending time with your pups! I work full time (9:00 to 4:00) but if your dog needs to be let out during the day, I will find a way to check on them. Either taking a longer lunch or asking my retired mom to check in. I respond quickly to pet sitting requests. Whether your dog is energetic or chill, I love playing and cuddling with new furry friends. We will explore the neighborhood on a walk and then crash on the couch.
About: Hello! My name is Erin and I have spent my entire life caring (and loving) animals! I understand pets and owners need and will be sure to give your sweet pooch or little kitty all the attention they deserve. I offer dog walks most hours of the day and drop ins in the morning and early afternoons. I have experience caring for dogs between 4 lbs to about 90 lbs. aged from newborns to elders. Also I have experience with small kittens and adult cats who love play and the kitty who just wants to be left alone and chill. I have some experience in minor training such as sit, stay and come. My main focus is to keep your animal safe and happy. I would love to be of service to your and your furry friends this year so feel free to contact me at any time! I cannot wait to hear from you!
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and animals my entire life, from my own pets to those of cousins, friends, and neighbors. For over 15 years, I’ve been the go-to person to feed, bathe, walk, and love on dogs of all kinds. I have cared for a senior dog through his final years with patience and compassion, and now I’m raising and training a playful new puppy, giving me firsthand experience with both ends of the journey. I treat every animal like family, because I truly believe they deserve all the love and care in the world. Pet parents know they can rely on me to make time, follow instructions carefully, and give their pets the same attention I would my own. To me, they aren’t just animals, they’re our babies, and I’m committed to keeping them happy, safe, and cared for. I work part-time hours, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to caring for pets. My schedule allows me to adjust easily around walks, feedings, playtime, and any special needs. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine, and my weekends are usually always available, making it easy for me to give pets the attention and consistency they deserve. I know how important consistency and comfort are for pets, especially since I have a puppy of my own that I care for every day. Because of this, I take responsibility seriously and make sure to follow each pet parent’s instructions closely. Whether that’s feeding routines, potty breaks, playtime, or administering special care. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with respect and keep their pets’ environment clean, safe, and stress-free. My goal is always to give pets the same love and attention they would get if you were home, so they feel secure and happy until you return.
About: Lots of experience caring for fur babies. Past owner of Great Danes and experience with little ones too! I have been actively fostering dogs for a local rescue for 5 years and have experience with age puppy to senior. I also have 2 dogs of my own, Vizsla and a boxer mix. Open to any breeds. Can provide video chat time with your pet or text photos. Lots of love to give your pups as I am free weekends and summer weekdays (I am a teacher assistant in Kindergarten) and would love to take them for walks if they are able. I am willing to administer medications as necessary. Available weekends during the school year and full weeks in July and August. I am a teachers assistant and have summers off to spend with your pup! I am available for frequent potty breaks, walks and will follow your preferences on crate training. Love to provide daily updates on how your dog is doing.
About: Hi, my name's Anna! I'm a huge fan of both dogs and cats, as well as most other animals. I've been around dogs for my whole life, from Chihuahuas to Saint Bernards. Currently my family owns a Labradoodle but prior to that we had a Portuguese Water Dog. I've taken care of all sorts of animals for friends and neighbors, like cats, dogs, fish, chameleons, and more. I was on my high school's track team so I'm happy to run with dogs that need that over a walk. I am very good with dogs that have a harder time warming up to new people, my own dog gets very nervous even just going for walks sometimes, so I know many strategies to help dogs feel more comfortable. Additionally, I do have experience with older dogs that may need special care. I love all kinds of dogs, but I definitely have a soft spot for pit bulls and any type of sheepdog. I also love cats and really understand the difference in care they need when compared to dogs. I have a full time job, but I don't always work standard hours, so I'm happy to hang out with your pets during the workday when they need some extra attention! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, so I feel comfortable in tons of different situations. I feel comfortable crating dogs, adapting to dogs' specialized dietary needs and more. I've also been working with Rover on and off since I was in high school, so I'm very familiar with the app and the safety features they provide

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Rochester
I can’t say enough good things about Steph. She does a midday check-in for our 1 yo Australian shepherd a few days a week and he absolutely loves her. He can be a little particular about who he decides is part of the pack and Steph was able to warm him up very quickly, no doubt due to her extensive experience with animals. Steph’s communication is excellent, she’s willing to tailor her service to our dog’s needs and I have total peace of mind leaving our fur baby in her hands because she’s proven to be capable and dependable. She’s even brought one of her dogs and/or kids along sometimes to help us socialize him because I mentioned he struggled with those things. 10/10 would recommend booking Steph.

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.
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 East Rochester 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!
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 .

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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in East Rochester with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
