I absolutely love dogs and would love to help your furry friends be comfortable while you’re away! I have pretty open availability during the summer and am available for multiple night dog sitting sessions. I would love to spend some of my free time with your furry babies! While dog sitting, I like to spend time outside with the animals and let them exercise. I love to snuggle up with them and take them on walks.

About: I have a large home with a large back yard, great neighbors with great pets of their own to play with. We recently lost our dog so we have some extra space in our hearts and home. I am currently working from home and would love some company while doing so. Come join me ***Please Note: All care will be given by me only. Other members of the house may play only I currently only have cats that will completely ignore any dogs coming in. I would take directions from you on how your fur baby likes to be cared for. As a 60 year old I have come to realize I am not equipped to board foster or shelter dogs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Rochester
This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little hesitant about leaving our animal house in someone else’s hands. But after meeting her, I immediately felt much more at ease. She took such great care of our dogs and cats (and fish!), checked in consistently, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She is so sweet, and we would absolutely have her back again!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 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 .
