“I had a great experience! Michele took wonderful care of Magggie and my home whileaway. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was comfortable at home and in great hands. Communication was excellent, everything was well taken care of, and I came home to a happy dog. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Great experience through and through from the initial meeting to the high level of communication and great pictures during her stay and even washing and drying the sheets from the bed she slept in. We arrived home to a very happy puppy too. We highly recommend!”
“Aly was awesome!! I knew she was a perfect fit when we met. Aly is kind, caring, trustworthy and so sweet! I felt that my pup was in good hands. It’s always so stressful leaving and Aly gave me peace of mind, thank you! We will definitely have her back in the future! Connor misses you already ??”
About: I’ve had the privilege to house sit, dog walk, and LOVE 💙, my friends and clients fur babies. I make sure all of their needs are taken care of. I’m currently working 4 AM to 1230 Monday through Thursday and Saturday, but as of April 16, I’ve decided the love and passion I have for caring for your babies excite me a lot more. I will be more available to accompany your needs while you’re away for work or on a vacation with your family, yet I have had many clients& their babies have no issues when I housesit/dog walk. I treat animals with love, care, and respect as if they were my own. I will follow your directions on how your fur baby likes to be cared for.
“Catilyn was an amazing sitter. Will for sure utilize her services again!! I needed someone last minute due to a cancellation and Catilyn responded to my message promptly, was able to do a meet and greet same day, and housesit for me that weekend. She is polite, professional, wonderful!!! I can home to a washed and made spare bed, home in great order, and happy pup!!!”
“Stepen and Amelie took great care of our 1 year old dog and our home. They took our dog on multiple walks, played with him and made sure he was comfortable. They were great about keeping us up to date with pictures, videos and messages about how our dog was doing. We came home to a detailed list of what our dog did each day, how much he ate, when he used the bathroom and when he slept. We were very impressed and would recommend Stephen and Amelie.”
“Jade did a wonderful job sitting for Angel thru the 6 days when we were gone. I felt Angel was in good hands, she was very caring toward Angel. I could see Angel was very comfortable with Jade from the pictures Jade sent to me when I was traveling. Jade sent me daily pictures of Angel along with videos. That I really appreciated. I would recommend Jade to anyone who is looking for a good dog sitter. Kirsten M.”
“The best experience ever. My precious pup just instantly loved her. She played with him and loved on him. She was prompt and just a very kind person. She even brought him special treats! I will use her again!”
“Katherine was amazing! She watched my dog in my home for 7 days and went above and beyond the entire time. She kept me updated every day, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog loved her, and I could tell she was well cared for and happy. I highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“And all I can say is outstanding! Cindy went above and beyond to make sure my pets for well taken care of! She sent pictures and was very responsive to my questions plus when I got home my house was cleaner then when I left!- I really could not have asked for more and would definitely have her back again!!!”
“Joey was fantastic. She took our dogs on multiple walks and played with them in the yard. Joey sent us multiple pictures throughout her time with the dogs and gave us updates regularly. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Dominique completed his second house sit for my two pups (6 nights) and we continue to endorse him as a qualified / reliable sitter! Communication again proved to be consistent. Water bowls were full and my house was just how I left it. My large dogs are prone to acting out if they do not get enough attention (especially over long periods). It was great coming home and not seeing any indication of unsatisfied pups. Fully recommend!”
“Kirstin watched our dog on short notice after another sitter had to cancel. She was so great! Our dog was recovering from being sick and Kirstin kept us updated and our dog taken care of. Piper enjoyed herself all weekend and Kirstin took great care of the house as well. We won’t hesitate to have Kirstin sit for us again in the future!”
“We have high energy dogs. Jeremy came over ahead of time for a meet and greet so they could get to know him. That was important because one of our dogs will nip if he doesn’t know you. He needs that introduction. They both took to him and snuggled in for Jeremy’s stay.”

“Rachel is fantastic! Not only is she great with our dogs, but when we went on a trip my husband forgot his medications and she went the extra mile and made sure they were shipped to us. Our pups love her and we won’t hesitate to have her dog sit again. She’s wonderful!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Genesee
Liz was a fantastic sitter for my sweet, nervous dog while I was away on a week long trip. She was patient with him and he really warmed up to her, loved all the walks and attention. He was happy and healthy when I got home, and my house was cleaner than I left it! I would recommend Liz for anyone who wants a responsible, conscientious house and dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Genesee is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $71 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,240 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 , 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.
