“We had an absolutely fabulous first experience with Ona staying in our home and watching our kitty Mira while we were in Bermuda for two weeks. What a great communicator!! And she was so willing to do all kinds of extras that come with a large home and land—including putting out corn for our wildlife friends and making sure our gardens didn’t wilt in the unexpected heat wave. Our kitty absolutely adored her, and she wants us to go away again soon so that she can snuggle and play with Ona again :) Thank you for everything, Ona. It was a joy to have you watching over our home.”
“Absolutely the best caretaker ever!!!! Joey was amazing with our dogs, easy to communicate with, and left our house cleaner than it was before he got there! We highly recommend Joey!!!!”
“Abby went above and beyond my expectations. She stayed at my apartment and looked after my best friend. She is reliable and I would definitely book her again! She took Frank to the dog park each day and updated me with pics. Very happy, thank you Abby!”
“We hired Komal to stay at our house for our two dogs - one of which is quite high energy and anxious and the other who is 18 and needs some special attention. We were very happy with how everything went for the long weekend away. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got back and the house was neat and tidy. I really enjoyed getting to know Komal in the visit and got a great vibe right from the get go. We loved that she has so many years of experience. She made the whole thing very easy and sent plenty of updates - including what has become one of our all time favorite photos. I would absolutely recommend her very highly to other folks.”
“Natalie was amazing. She kept us informed and was so wonderful with our pets. She sent photos and video. She also helped by bringing in packages and checking our house during a storm. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve been using Rover since 2020, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets🐾 I also worked with Puppy Yoga Club, caring for 6–8 puppies during weekend classes where I would keep them safe, supervised, entertained, and well cared for throughout the day. I’m very patient, responsible, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and safe while you enjoy peace of mind. 🐶❤️🐱 My schedule is pretty flexible, I currently work another job for about 8–10 hours per week, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week for walks, house sitting and pet care. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and work around your pet’s routine & needs. My goal is to make scheduling easy and convenient for both you and your furry friend! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for a pet in their home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could create a safety concern. I will also make sure food, medications, toys, and other pet supplies are handled exactly as instructed. I understand that being welcomed into someone’s home is a big responsibility. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and make sure pets are comfortable in their own environment.
About: Hi! My name is Cory and I am a lifelong animal lover. I’m the one you’ll find at the party sitting on the floor with the dog. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their fur babies while they are away. My husband and I live in Honeoye Falls with two 9-year old Cane Corsos and 3 cats. They are family to us and we know the importance of having someone you trust care for them when you can’t. I have experience administering medications if needed and understand each pet has their own unique set of needs and preferences. Does your dog refuse to eat if his bowl is on the hardwood floor and not the carpet? I get it. Does your cat need to drink from the sink, but only at the right water pressure? I get it. My goal is to build a relationship with you and your pets so I can provide the best care possible. I’m currently working full time, so evening drop ins and weekend care will be my primary focus for now. We can work together to find scheduling that fits your needs and I will be fully transparent with availability. I will require a meet and greet with you and your pet before accepting any new bookings. This allows me to see if my abilities match their unique needs, as well as your expectations and preferences.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and no two are the same. It’s my priority to care for your pet’s specific needs to ensure their comfort❤️ I mostly work evenings so I’m best suited for morning and afternoon walks. For house sitting, same availability applies but I can accommodate nightly check ins. It’s essential to me that your pet feels comfortable! It can be stressful for them to away from you so I’ll do my best to keep their routines in their home environment.
“I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone who wants the best care and love for their pets while they’re away! I liked Hannah from the moment I met her during our meet and greet. She listened to all of my concerns and anxieties that I had. Hannah greeted me the day of departure and return. She followed my instructions thoroughly and sent me many pictures of my pets while I was away, checking in daily. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! Thank you Hannah, we will definitely be requesting your services again!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was about 10 years old! Many different dog breeds and energy levels, many different cats with attitude. I have two puppies of my own that I have trained on my own, and have dabbled in light training for puppies that aren’t mine as well! I have a lot of patience for puppies that require a little extra love and attention. I am a wedding planner trying to break into the business. This gives me a lot of free time and the ability to work whenever and wherever I’d like, which leaves extra room for pet love! I was in the Marine Corps, so I may look small, but I am mighty in my own regard. I’m very good with dogs that pull, play a little rough, or require a little extra resistance. I am extremely patient with pets who have separation anxiety, as my pets deal with it as well.
About: I grew up with labs, one who lived to 14 years of age. After adopting my own dog, 3 years ago she was diagnosed with Addison's disease which requires a monthly vet visit and daily pill. If your dog needs medication while you’re away, I’m willing to administer it. I’m a single mom with shared custody of 2 kids, ages 3 and 1. Your dog must be comfortable with young children and another dog. It would be a pleasure for me to look after these important members of your family. I will be sure to send you many pictures and notes! I work full time M-F, however if you’re in my radius I would love to provide drop in visits during my lunch break during the week. If you would like me to board your pet, let’s chat! If you’re boarding with me, your dog must be friendly with young children (I have a 3 year old & 1 year old) and will be spending the day with my dog, Brinlee! I keep my own dog on leash and if we are comfortable meeting other dogs, I always ask the other owner first only if I know my dog is okay with it! My dog is welcome on my bed at night and sits on the couch next to me. If I’m caring for your pet, it’s important that I pass the sniff test. Let’s set up a meet and greet!
About: I’ve serviced the community with dog sitting and walking over the span of 4 years. Growing up, my family took care of foster dogs, giving me experience with a wide variety of canines. From stubborn old timers to anxiously attached pups, I approach each animal with patience and understanding. I also have experience caring for parrots! I'm a graduate student, so have availability throughout the entire week. I’m also available for overnights during the week and weekend (if I’m not already booked up). Shoot me a message if you have any scheduling questions! I strive to provide excellent and professional care when pet sitting in my clients home. I always leave my environment cleaner than when I found it and leave any closed doors undisturbed. I make sure that collars and harnesses are properly secured before exiting the home.
“I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fairport
We had Valerie stay with our two dogs this past weekend and couldn't have been happier. The dogs were well taken care of, happy, and clearly comfortable with her. She came to the house as promised, kept to their routine, and left everything clean and tidy when we got home. It was such a relief to travel knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
I was sent pictures daily from Regina which made me feel better. Ive never left them before so I was worried. She did an amazing job with them. I would highly recommend Regina to anyone. She stayed in my home which made it better than taking them to a strange place, you won't be sorry if you booked with her
Hannah is a great sitter who cared for our senior dog with genuine kindness and compassion. She responded quickly when our dog wasn't feeling well and kept us informed throughout. Also, she maintained our home beautifully. Hannah's responsibility, attentiveness, and professionalism exceeded our expectations! We were very pleased with her service and will definitely book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fairport is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $73 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.

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 Fairport 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 Fairport 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 Fairport 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fairport. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
