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.

“Lynette did a great job staying with our dog and two cats! She was very responsive to my texts and sent several pictures throughout our trip. I could tell they were all well taken care of. Thanks, Lynette!”
“Emily went above and beyond in caring for our pets! She frequently communicated and sent pics. The animals looked well loved and happy giving us peace of mind. She also took care of unexpected problems with our pool and home without worrying us about it until she had found solutions to keep our stress low. She is the best!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We have always had at least one dog in the house if not more. In the past 6 years I have helped my parents to puppy train twice. I love dogs unconditionally, but I am not afraid to show a little tough love when needed. I’m currently going back to school and attend a lot of local sporting events but I still make it a priority to take my dog for a walk daily. Whether we fit in a walk before I leave in the morning or in-between class and a game, I know how much she loves her walks. I also make sure to give her ample play time when I am home. I make sure that whether the pet is in a fenced in yard or not I am always keeping an eye on them when outside. I always respect the clients wishes regarding their animal being on furniture, in what rooms, and such on.
“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!”
“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.”
“Alex and Bethany were fantastic with my 3 dog crew. Even at the meet and greet it was evident that my dogs would be in good care. They asked great questions to learn about the dogs. The pictures that we got were so reassuring. The communication was perfect. This was hands down the best experience we have had with Rover. 10 out of 10 recommend.”

I am comfortable administering medications and caring for animals of all sizes. Other animals I have cared for include birds, tortoises, and guinea pigs. I currently work a full-time position but am free most early mornings, overnights, evenings, and weekends! I have plenty of time to attend to your pets, just give me a warning! I will treat your home and animals as if they are my own. In addition to pet care, I am happy to water plants and bring in mail/packages.
“Elise is a treasure! She is very responsible, caring and my rescue pup loved her. She took very good care of the house including during a power outage. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa is a GEM. She loves our dogs and they love her. Extremely responsible with all aspects of caring for the dogs and some household responsibilities while we were away. Highly recommend!!”
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.
“Brittani went above and beyond to take care of our fur babies while we were out of town! She sent tons of pictures and we also came back to an even cleaner home than we left it! Your fur babies will be in safe and loving hands in her care!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life especially bigger dogs like German shepherds. But I recently got a black lab golden mix and would love to bring him over for a puppy play date:) I’m currently working full time but I can make a visit either before or after I get out to play with your pets and make sure they get the care they need! It would definitely brighten up my day as well before going in and give me something to look forward to after:) I have a friendly golden lab mix to help keep your fur babies company if you would like. He loves to play and is such a sweetheart
About: I’ve been around pets since I was born and am great with all animals. I love to take care of them and take them on walks and my friends have relied on me to take care of their dogs when they were busy at school My schedule is different each week but I am great at managing my time and have many days where I can take care of any pet or fit in a walk on my busier days. I have a huge yard, pet friendly home, a dog pen, and will walk your dog everyday. I will make sure they get lots of love, food when needed, and follow any guidelines in your house
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 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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Fairport is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $72 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 , 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.
