“Overall, great experience working with Bill. Communicative and easy to work with. Took great care of both my dog and cat at our home. We felt comfortable while we were in California for the holidays knowing our furry loved ones are comfortable at our home with Bill. They were taken care of and loved. We will be using him every time her on out.”
“Jared was wonderful! He was very communicative and reliable. The dogs loved him! He went above and beyond- vacuuming, picking up the yard, putting the sheets in the washing machine, medicating our dog, taking out the trash bins, and starting the dishwasher. We already want to book him 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 !”
About: I have been in the pet care business for 6 years and look forward to keeping your pet 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.
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.
“When we adopted our shelter dog, Tabi, two years ago, she came to us with severe separation anxiety. While she has improved tremendously, when we go out of town we struggle to find accommodations that won't make our dog a nervous wreck. We didn't think having a dog sitter in our home was financially feasible, that is, until we realized that there were several options on rover.com. Of course, the idea of having a stranger stay in our home is reason for pause, but we knew that for Tabi, this would probably be an ideal situation. Enter Danielle. She was quick to respond to my inquiry, answered all of my questions quickly, and came to meet with us before hand to see if everyone was a good fit. Upon meeting Danielle we immediately felt at ease letting this young woman stay in our home. And how did it go? Great! Tabi was very relaxed the entire time. Our cats (who we normally just let fend for themselves when we leave for a day or two) had a nice lap to sit on. And I found myself not feeling guilty for putting Tabi in a stressful situation since I knew she was home, where she feels most comfortable. Danielle was excellent with checking in to let us know how things were going, sending pictures, and even did the dishes and laundry before she left. We are so relieved to know that we have finally found the perfect solution for when we go out of town, and that solution is Danielle. We are so pleased with the care she provided. Thanks Danielle!”
“Jennifer is beyond communicative and helpful with my old guy. Knowing she was caring for Rex allowed me to relax and feel comfortable while leaving Rex alone. Highly recommend Jennifer!! Very responsive and sends lots of pictures”
About: I grew up with dogs as big as Saint Bernards, currently have a cat who is the love of my life, and have always gravitated towards the pet at the function. I feel that patience is the most important trait to have. With 15+ years of experience pet sitting/house sitting, I am generally the friend who is designated for this in the group and has often been recommended to strangers. Reliable, personal transport. I don't smoke or drink. Many years of commercial/home cleaning experience as well, making me a professional in your sacred space! I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of availability for you and your pet. There is flexibility so just let me know your needs/requests! I take the safety and comfort of your fur baby very seriously and make it my first priority. On dog walks I carry pepper spray and water and stay vigilant for other dog walkers. For cats I stay extremely careful with doors and windows to make sure they don't escape and monitor any catio excursions. I understand your fur babies are a part of the family and the actual lights of this life. I want to make sure you rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy while they are missing you!
“Ainsley is kind, communicative, understanding, attentive, and loving with our doggo. She went out of her way to accommodate our schedule and laundry list of info and instructions. She took care of our dog for several hours and sent us updates throughout the house sitting, putting our minds even more at ease. I’d happily recommend Ainsley to anyone who asks.”
“We felt as if our older Golden retriever was in great hands with Ryan. She was a few weeks out from acl surgery and she loved having him!! We will use Ryan again! He sent pics and regular updates.”
“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!”
“Excellent cat sitter! She did an excellent job taking care of my cat and was very attentive and reliable. She also left my home clean, tidy, and well organized, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing everything was taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my cat again!”
“Sora is a very caring dog walker and sitter. She provided daily updates and pictures to let us know how our dog was doing. She also took great care of the house and plants. I highly recommend her to others!”
“Georgia did a great job with our dog. We were thrilled that she was able to work from home and kept our dog to her schedule. We also loved that she sent us pictures during her stay!”
“Brittany was so wonderful to our pups! She did an amazing job following our instructions and communicating with both me and my husband. I will have her back in a heartbeat if we need another sitter! She works from home so she was able to be with our pups consistently which is super important for me. Thank you Brittany!!”

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!
Ben was fantastic! Ben stayed at our apartment to dog sit for ~2 weeks. He was very communicative the whole time, and left our apartment in great shape. Most importantly, our Gracie girl was in good hands - he was great with her, following all our instructions and taking her for plenty of long walks. We would love to work with Ben again soon!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Genesee is $65 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $124 per night.

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 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 , 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.
