“I can’t recommend Tiffany enough! She was able to help us out with a last-minute request, and was super easy to work with. She came for a meet and greet and was so sweet to our cat. Charlie (the cat) has been anxious to be left alone for long periods of time since her sister passed last year, so I really needed someone to spend time with her and give her the attention we normally would. Tiffany did exactly that and then some! She sent lots of updates and pictures, and I knew that Charlie was being doted on so I could fully relax while away. Tiffany is clearly an animal lover and it shows in her care! She followed all of our instructions to the letter AND left our apartment in tip top shape. I will definitely be working with her again!”
“We had a very last minute trip that Nina was amazing in accommodating! She is so sweet and communicative, always making sure we knew our dog was safe and having fun while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jessie did wonderful watching our crew of animals. She is very experienced with a variety of different dog personalities and our animals immediately were comfortable with her(even our quirky one). She kept us updated on them throughout the days. She came and did a meet and great with them to make sure everyone was comfortable with her staying at our house. Thank you Jessie for making sure our minds weren’t stuck on if the animals were ok as we were fully confident they were in great hands.”
“Abigail was amazing with my 3 crazy pups! We needed someone last minute to watch our dogs for our wedding and Abigail did a meet and greet and my dogs loved her! My boy is very anxious and ended up loving her! We really appreciated her and will be using her in the future anytime we need someone!”
“Jen was such a wonderful pet sitter. Our three dogs loved spending time with her. She was prompt, professional, and took really good care of my house when watching our pets. She left the place cleaner when she left than when she arrived! We are looking forward to using Jen again in the near future.”
“Samantha was AMAZING! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to care for our dog and cat while we were away. She updated us frequently and sent us pictures. She is very trustworthy and thorough!”
About: I’ve always been a dog lover and have taken care of neighbors dogs, including dog walking since I was a little kid. I love being outside as I am a runner and absolute love having playtime with dogs outside! I just graduated from college and am working this job until my full time job begins this fall. So I will have plenty of time on my hands to hang out and be attentive. I usually wake up early in the morning to run so can take care of early riser dogs as well! I have had much experience taking care of dogs and therefore am able to handle different dog personalities and preferences. I am comfortable around dogs who love constant attention as well as dogs that would rather keep to themselves.
About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood, from growing up with 2-3 dogs at home to now caring for 11 pets of my own (exotics, two cats, and a dog!). For the past 6 years, I've been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, giving their pets the same love and attention I give my own. I'd be honored to help watch your pup and become their new favorite bestie! I work full-time, so I fit pet care in around my job, mornings before work, evenings after, and I'm flexible on weekends for boarding or longer visits. I check in throughout the day and always make time for walks, playtime, and cuddles, no matter how busy things get. When visiting your home, I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secured, and stick to your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and safe with me.
About: I’ve always been around dogs and cats growing up. My grandmother owned an in-home dog grooming business that I assisted with from a young age. I’ve had my own family dogs since the age of 7. Whenever friends or family have gone out of town, they trusted me to look after their dogs as well as cats. Currently I have a 3-year-old catahoula leopard / lab mix and an 8-year-old brown tabby cat. During the week I work 9-5 from home. I tend to have most of my meetings early in the morning due to time zone differences, meaning I have the majority of the day to look after your dog. On weekends my availability can start as early as 9AM. I am typically available I don’t ski or snowboard – so you don’t have to worry about me being in the mountains. 1. There are many outdoor parks near my apartment building, as well as a dog run in the apartment complex itself. My 3-year-old pup is extremely friendly and playful, meaning your furry friend will always have someone to keep them company, should they want a friend.
“Haley took amazing care of Reggie while we were abroad for a week and a half. From day one, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to his routine. She kept us consistently updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind being so far away. Reggie was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to a relaxed, content pup and a well-kept home, you can tell Haley truly cares. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Ciara was amazing as always! She stayed over with our GSD for the weekend and she gave us constant updates and pictures throughout the entire stay! I would trust her with my babies any day!”
“Maria is reliable, communicates clearly and often, and noted all the details we had left her to care for our pups. She handled them with care and learned each one’s nuances. The transition back home after our extended vacation was smooth and our pups were in step with their regular routine. We would highly recommend Maria to anyone!”
About: I have taken care of a range of different types of dogs, mainly smaller and medium sized dogs, and puppies as well! Whether your dog wants to be super active or sit in with cuddles, I'll be equipped to accommodate them! I deal with an anxiety disorder, and pet care as well as being around animals is my life, and has helped me overcome anxiety in so many instances. I love taking my time to get to know an animal, and I treat every animal as an actual being. Animals understand us!! I pay attention to their body language and will check in with owner if anything is off! I care for every animal equally, physically treating them as my own! I will follow pet owners responsibility list to a T while respecting your time and space!
“I found Izzy at the perfect time. We needed a last minute sitter and she made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent us awesome updates and loved on our sometimes selective pup. You could tell he felt so safe with her and we were able to relax knowing he was in good hands. Already telling everyone I know to book with Izzy!”
About: I was raised on a small family farm, and have cared for goats, chickens, ducks, pigs, and more while a part of that. As a child and teenager, I trained dogs through my local 4-H program, and later on started petsitting for family friends. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, cats, chickens, cows, pigs, goats, turtles, geese, canaries, ducks, and so many others, and I'm always willing to learn something new! I work full-time, night shifts during the week and mornings on weekends, but I'm typically only gone 8 hours max, so there's still plenty of time for me to provide plenty of care and attention to the pets! I typically stay overnight, and will either crate the pets if needed, or let them sleep with me, I wake up with them and spend my day hanging out with them, playing or just relaxing. I do my best to care for each pet as their owner would, to help minimize stress.
About: I am a full-time zoo keeper, so it is in my nature to take care of animals. I have also worked in a vets office, where I’ve had to administer medications, even insulin. I am very comfortable with doing any training that you want kept up with. I currently work full-time, but I am able to be there on my weekends all day, or be back at your house right after work for the rest of the day! I can do all of the basics, while also keeping up with any training you may need me to do. I can make sure your pets get all the exercise and attention they need. I will follow any instruction you give, if you like them out of certain areas or if they need to be crated when no one is home.
The median cost per night for house sitting in East Seneca is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - East Seneca
Hello, we booked a trip with Jonathan for our 8-Night trip to Florida. This was our first time using Rover and our first time being away from our pets more than one day. We have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I was a little leery using Rover and having a stranger in our home. After going through Rover we chose Jonathan, based on his history. Jonathan reached out right away. Prior to our trip Johnathan came over for twice, once for the initial visit and once a couple days before our final departure. During our trip Jonathan was very punctual and provided updates twice a day with photos. I did reach out to him during our trip and he replied quickly. Overall, Jonathan made our trip less stressful knowing I can rely on him to take good care our pets and our home. THANK YOU JONATHAN for making our trip a stress free one and fun knowing our pets/home were in good hands.
Colleen did a great job with our elder cat , Sadie. She was able to earn her trust quickly and was able to apply topical medication as scheduled. Colleen was flexible and was able to add on a last minute check in due to our late flight. We highly recommend Colleen.
This was only our second time leaving our dog with a pet sitter, but when we booked our vacation we were hoping Meagan was available again! Lucy was comfortable with her from the start, and she kept us updated throughout the week with how she was doing. Meagan also went above and beyond while she stayed in our home, bringing in our mail and keeping things clean and tidy. She will always be our go to when we need someone for our dog!
Our cat seems to love Jenna, and she takes 3 masterful pictures of him every time she comes by. She arrives punctually, all the chores get done, and the house has been in order the last few times we hired her. She has been our go to sitter since we found her. We would highly recommend!

The average cost of House Sitting in East Seneca is $75 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $58 and $94 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 565 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across East Seneca. 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 East Seneca 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 East Seneca 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.
Tip: 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 East Seneca 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
