“Heather has watched my pets twice now and I will definitely be keeping her! She takes great care of the furries, leaves me detailed notes and asks questions. Love having her!”
About: Cause at the moment that's all I got. Looking to spend some time and make some extra $ helping you care for your pet when your gone. I work from home so I'm available all day to care for your loving pet. I work from home so I am available to take your pets for daily walks (multiple if required) and play with or check on them between my meeting. I would be coming to your home to care for your pets so the stress level will decrease for your pet. I am comfortable living in your space and keeping your pets routine for them and you.
About: I have had dogs the majority of my life, all sizes included! Worked at an organic pet store for 3 years and learned a ton about caring for dogs. I am pretty flexible at the moment, just would need a day or so notice for anything! Have my own car and currently not working so I have pretty open availability I care for them by trying to keep their routine as normal as possible! Making sure they are taken care of through feeding, water, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention! Also am a big communicator so love sending update pictures and making sure you know your fur baby is safe and cared for!
About: Experienced with fostering puppies, taking shelter dogs for days out on hikes, walks and to town! I have been pet sitting for about five years and have experience with dogs ages 7 weeks to 15 years old.I have a 3 year old field golden so I am used to needed to experience my pup and providing enrichment for her brain! If you have a young pup who needs some outdoors adventures like hiking or an older pup who needs love at home I am your person!

At your home, I will help out with whatever service needed! I am in an apartment so it might get a bit tight here with my own dog.
“Jessica was a wonderful caretaker for my aging Newfoundland and my Newfoundland puppy. She was very responsive and communicative, and a very pleasant person to work with. I would definitely ask for her help again, and I highly recommend her!”
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.

“Charlotte was a most excellent caregiver from start to finish for my elderly cat. She came by for a meet & greet with us before I went out of town which put me and my cat Dude at ease. During her check-ins she provided awesome updates and photos which I greatly appreciated & enjoyed. We will definitely reach out to her again. Highly recommend this sitter for your pets needs.”
“Katrina went above and beyond for my animal family! I had to take my kitty into the vet before leaving town and Katrina picked her up from the vet and made sure she was very well cared for the entire time I was gone. She also gave extra love and care to my senior dog and big dog who demands constant affection :) I will be booking her again! So glad we found her on here!”
About: Here’s a full “About Me” style experience section covering everything: I’ve been around animals my whole life – cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. On the dog side, I’ve spent time with Great Pyrenees, so I know what it means to care for a gentle giant who needs space, steady handling, and someone who isn’t intimidated by the size. I’ve also worked with high-energy breeds like Corgis who need real engagement, and small but mighty dogs like Chihuahuas who have opinions and aren’t shy about sharing them. Whether your dog wants to burn off steam on a long walk or curl up and not move for two hours, I match their energy – not the other way around. With cats, I’ve handled the full spectrum – chaotic kittens who need supervision and stimulation, seniors who want quiet company and a predictable routine, and multi-cat households where keeping the peace is its own skill set. Every animal is different. My job is to figure out what yours needs and deliver that – not a generic visit, but one that actually fits them. I am working part time from home so I have tons of time everyday to spend with your furry friends. I do a few big walks a day and would love your pets to tag along. I have a big back yard and lots of space to keep your furry friend occupied. I also love taking long walks with your friends.
About: I've taken care of many different animals. From bunnies all the way up to horses. I primarily enjoy being the caretaker to dogs and cats. I use to work as a Dog Musher in Minnesota. Where I was in charge of 20+ Huskies. I would make sure the were healthy and happy. I have worked with many different dog breeds: Springer Spaniels, Huskies, Pitbulls, Golden retrievers, and many more. I just really enjoy taken care of different animals. They each have their different personalities. I can work with older dogs that may have a condition. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Really well. I have a Job that is very flexible to where I can check on a pet 3 times a day. I also am comfortable house sitting while I'm at pet sitting. Feed the animals 2-3 times a day depending on the owners preference. Very important to know how the owner wants me to take care of them. If the animal needs anything special it is crucial to be exact about how it should be done. For the safety of the animal and person. Also be respectful of someone's home by keeping it the way you found it (if not better).
About: I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 20 years. I do have two cats but I can separate them away from pet. I am good with all types of different pets. I am home during the day and so I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pet. I have time to walk and play with dogs and spend time with cats. I have a large yard just outside my home where the pet can play. I live in a quiet area so the animals will not be disturbed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Genesee is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 13,245 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Genesee. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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.
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.
