“William was amazing with all our animals, two of which are high energy GSP's. Even our wiener dog that takes forever to warm up to people, was barking at him to get more pets and attention even with us back! He was extremely respectful of our home and it was actually cleaner than when we left. We would highly recommend William and will definitely be using him again!!”
“Sara took great care of our many pets while we were on vacation. I love that she works from home so my puppy had someone home most of the time. She was also great about taking my puppy for puppy play dates next door and playing with him in the back yard so I didn't have to pay for walks. House was in great shape and clean when I got home. You can trust Sara with your pets she is great. Will hire again :)”
“Vincent did a great job watching my dog at my house this weekend . He left the place just like I left it and gave me lots of updates and pictures of my dog throughout the weekend. Easy to communicate and would definitely hire him again to stay at my place !”
“Lilou was great with Lola, especially during the 4th of July for a night of scary fireworks. She was communicative and responsive all week. She sent pictures of Lola playing and Lola seemed to have a great time.”
“Sarah was very professional and a clear communicator. She sent us really nice pictures of our fur babies and it was obvious how much fun they were having with her. She adjusted her schedule due to the high temperatures to make sure walks happened when it was cooler. Sarah is a very kind and caring person. We would definitely highly recommend her. Thanks Sarah!”
About: I have been in the pet care business for 6 years and look forward to keeping your baby safe and happy in your home while you are away. I love animals. I currently have a border collie, her name is Bailey. My reason for house sitting is to provide families with a sense of knowing that their animal will be loved and cared for while they are away from home in their own familiar environment. I spend most of my time outside working in the yard and playing with my dog. I will provide feeding, walking, bathing, medicine administration, playing and plenty of love to your pet in the comfort of their your home. Quality care will never be an issue. I look forward to making friends with your beloved pet. This is a new endeavor for me as my previous Rover care was in my home in North Glenn. I enjoyed that so much. I wanted to continue with caring for dogs in this way. I am currently located in Lakewood Green Mountain area and look forward to meeting you and your pet. Please be sure to check out my reviews and also photos from my prior pet sitting. Bailey loves to play frisbee and we spend several hours a day playing in my back yard. My back yard is the perfect place for pets. It is super shady and large enough for running and playing. I have several parks near by and a back yard that will provide plenty of exercise. I love to cuddle fur babies that like to be cuddled. We spend a large part of our day outside playing and throwing frisbees and balls.
“Mitch always does such a great job with Georgia and I can tell she is well taken care of with him. Thanks to Mitch as well for his flexibility when we had to adapt our plans from a major snowstorm!”
“Emily is terrific. We needed someone kind of last minute when we were going out of town so had to take a leap of faith with the app and Emily did such a great job with our pups. Gave us lots of updates and photos. The pups took more walks that they usually get which was awesome. We will use her again in a heartbeat.”
“McKenzie was great! She took fantastic care of my two pups and sent updates throughout the day. She left our place in great shape and even came back later in the day to check on them before I got home.”
About: I love both dogs and cats, I currently have a wonderful cat, Louise! I grew up with a golden retriever and a cavachon! I have dog sat for several different breeds, including wiener dogs, pitbulls, and other breeds. I would love to take your dogs out on walks drop in on your cats and give them the attention they need and deserve while you are away or you are unable to get to them. I cannot host animals at this time, but I would be happy to drop in and see yours while you are away on vacation, at work, or otherwise!
“We loved working with Bryan! Bryan is responsive, fun, caring, and knowledgeable. He sent photos and videos twice per day and kept us up to date on our pup's activities. Bryan house-sat for five days and we felt very comfortable knowing he was watching both our home and our pup! We look forward to working with Bryan again.”
“Megan was fabulous!! She took great care of our pup Arya with lots of walks and cuddles. She was very responsive and kept us updated while we were out of town. She also took lots of photos and left our home spotless!! We will definitely be having her again!!”
“Aurelia was patient with our anxious pup. She took her for walks and stayed in communication with us all night. She did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: Hi there! I'm Kat and would love to help you when you need pet care! I am an animal lover at heart, and I know how hard it can be to find care for fur babies. I can do dog sitting for dogs of all ages and needs. For boarding and house-sitting, all I ask is that your dog is friendly so that they get along with mine. I have a 5 year old lab-great dane mix, and he is such a gentle giant. For sitting, I am happy to come to you! For walking, I can walk dogs of all ages and needs, and am happy to also take your dog for a run! I will be sure to send lots of updates during your dogs stay :) I will update my calendar if I’m not available. I am taking care of my own dog everyday and would love to help you take care of yours! For boarding in my home, I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks. I also make sure to walk my dog everyday at least once a day, and would do the same for you!
“Morgan was a great sitter! She gave regular updates, took great care of the house, and both dogs seemed very comfortable and happy with her. She also was responsive and understanding when one of the dogs had an upset stomach. Overall was very happy with Morgan!”
About: I have had dogs for most of my life and have dog sat for friends and family over the years. My husband and I have a Westie who is 14 years old but still very spunky! I recently started using the rover app for dog sitting and dog walking and have been enjoying all the sweet pups I have been able to care for! I work part time and have a flexible schedule to be able to do walks during the day and throughout the week. Would love to take your dog for a walk! My roommate has a small dog, so I would only be able to take dogs overnight who do well socially with other dogs. I am open to house sitting/dog sitting at your home as an alternative.
“Emily was amazing with my quirky pup! I felt totally comfortable leaving him in her care with I was on a work trip! Super communicative and lots of pictures! Will definitely use Emily again!”
“Caleb went above and beyond watching our three dogs (2 Golden retrievers and pit mix) and our two cats. He made sure they were well taken care of and really took the time to make sure they were happy and healthy while we were away. If you are looking for someone to watch your pets, I highly recommend Caleb. I would give him 10 stars if I could!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Genesee
This was our second house sitting trip with Sora and quite a long one (10 days) and another fantastic experience! She really goes above and beyond— amazing updates, followed every supplement and medication note perfectly, multiple walks a day, and tons of attention and cuddles with our two dogs. She continues to make me feel so comfortable being out of town! I came home to a clean house and two very happy dogs :) Will be rebooking again, highly recommended!
Tenja took excellent care of our three dogs, all with various health care needs, and she did an incredible job. She was able to meet all of our dogs’ needs, provide TLC, and photos of the pups! She also left the house in great shape upon our return, and was a great communicator by text while we were away. I absolutely will be using her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Genesee on Rover is $62.63 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,592 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Genesee. 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 Genesee 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 Genesee 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 Genesee 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
