“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!!”
“My husband and I always feel anxious to leave our dog in others care, however Mitch eased our worries from the start and allowed us to have a worry free time away! Georgia warmed up to him immediately and that does not happen often. He sent photo updates each day and seamlessly dropped her off at her boarding place for the last two days. Also he left the place so spotless it didn’t even look like he was here! Very nice to come back to a clean home. We hope to use Mitch again in the future!”
“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.”
“Emily was fantastic watching Rosie while I had to travel for work. She took great care of her, made sure she got her two walks in a day and kept her company while I was out. She kept me well updated and was flexible to stay a little later when my flight was delayed. I would definitely use Emily again, she took great care of Rosie, she was diligent, kept the house very clean and was a great communicator.”
“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: 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!
“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 !”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies!! Our dogs don’t normally love new people, but they loved Michael! He is so gentle and loving toward any dog. Additionally, he gave us daily updates with pictures and kept us in the loop with everything while he house sat for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AGAIN!!”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“Maddy took great care of our elderly pup and cat. She sent so many photo updates and the pets seemed so comfortable/happy. She took great care of our house as well. Thanks Maddy!”
“Mary Sue deserves more than 5 stars. She went above and beyond for our 3 hounds! We will definitely be rebooking for our future needs! She kept us updated multiple times throughout each day and gave us picture updates to ensure our dogs were in great hands! Our place was clean when she left and our dogs were beyond happy which is everything we wanted after coming back home from a long trip! Would definitely recommend Mary Sue and he will use her again in the future!”
“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 :)”
“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!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for nearly 25 years, with 15 of those years in professional settings. I have three large breed dogs in my home at the moment, and grew up with 5 Rottweilers, a Jack Russell, an American bulldog, & a German Shepherd, leading me to rescuing as an adult. Along with our pack, we also did rescuing through Cody‘s club, which is a Rottweiler rescue in Pennsylvania. I have rescued and rehomed over 1000 dogs of all temperaments and feel I have the patience for any personality. I have worked in chains like Petsmart as an animal caretaker and am well-versed in many species. If you select me as a sitter, I will be happy to be the bonus best friend your animal didn’t know they needed! I am currently a stay at home, dog mom. I go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I am available any other day of the week. I am willing to stay for a week at a time if needed, but will leave the house to go to school. All in all I have plenty of time to spend with your pet and ensure they are getting all of the love and support they need while you are out of the house. I have dogs of all ages with various needs and specialized diets. My animals adhere to a feeding schedule, so I have no problem with ensuring that your pets are fed in a timely manner according to your everyday schedule. I know pet CPR and know where the closest ER vets are in case of extreme emergencies. My oldest bully has seizures, so I am aware of how to handle medical situations and have the ability to remain calm. My oldest dog was also reactive, and I have spent the last 2 years integrating him into his pack. He was our first dog and now lives with a female Doberman and a male American bulldog who are both larger than him with absolutely no issues. I state this because I want to make you aware that I am confident in working with reactive dogs, especially fear aggression towards other dogs. Not all dogs are the same, but I have gone to classes to develop the skills to keep your reactive dog safe on walks. I have a vast background with hundreds of different dogs and want to reassure you that your pup is in the safest of hands with me.

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.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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.
