“Tara was amazing! I highly recommend her services. This is the first trip we were able to relax because we knew the dogs were in great hands. I loved the frequent updates and photos.”
“We have two elderly dogs that need kindness and someone to lay around with them. Vonnie was perfect! She was able to be with them. We will definitely book with her again..”
“Susana was amazing! Our three pets can sometimes be a little shy, but they warmed up to her very quickly. She kept in touch with us sending lots of pictures which we really appreciated. She even vacuumed. The house was very clean when we got home. Highly recommended!”
“Barbara was an amazing Rover. She was very communicative, accommodating. and demonstrated a true caring for our puppy. We grew to trust her implicitly with his well-being as well as taking care of our home. Our dog Duncan was a little spicy. He is a 10 month old puppy who definitely kept her on her toes, kept her up at night, but she never lost her positive attitude and ability to see him for the adorable rambunctious little guy he is. We cannot recommend Barb enough for your needs, and we will have no hesitation to use her in the future.”
About: I've lived with animals my entire life. Growing up, we had five dogs, four cats, bunnies and guinea pigs, snakes and lizards, fish, and chickens. Currently, while living at home in the summers, we have snakes, lizards, spiders, a cat, and three dogs, one of which is mine. My dog Winston is a service dog in training that my mom and I are owner-training. While I'm in no way a professional trainer, I can help with teaching or maintaining the basics with any dog. I'm currently home for the summer from school and waiting on an application for a part-time job. I am free most of the day right now, as I haven't started working yet. So, I can come over and take care of any pet's needs most any time. I can take care of your animals' needs any time, whether it's taking them on a walk, letting them outside, feeding, cleaning up, or playing with them. My dogs at home are crate trained, so if your dog also stays in a crate at certain points of the day or night, I can easily crate them.
“My experience in working with Taylor was excellent. Great communicator and most importantly cared for my 10yr lab while out in a work trip. Taylor went above and beyond what was required as she left the house spotless, and washed bedding and bathroom towels before leaving.”
“Amber is fantastic! Very reliable, sends photos of our fur babies and updates throughout her stay. She is a great house sitter and leaves our home as it was when we left. I highly recommend Amber if you are in need of a caring, considerate, and excellent communicator to watch your dogs. 🐕 🐾🩵”

About: Hi I’m Josie and animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I currently work in the boarding department at a veterinary clinic, where I care for dogs and cats by feeding, administering medications when needed, monitoring their health and behavior, cleaning kennels, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable during their stay. I’m also attending school to become a veterinary technician, which is expanding my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and proper care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I currently work in the boarding department at a veterinary clinic and am attending school to become a veterinary technician. My schedule allows me to provide reliable pet care before or after work, on weekends, and during many weekdays. I’ll always communicate my availability in advance and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Because I work in a veterinary clinic, I have experience recognizing changes in behavior and caring for pets with different needs. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines you provide. I’ll treat your home with respect and your pet like one of my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Brandi is outstanding, I highly recommend! She is always sweet and kind to both our adorable furry family members. Our two dogs are medium sized and one is extremely shy. Brandi is patient and always wins them both over with her special touch and love. Did I also mention how reliable she is? I am always grateful knowing she is at home with our dogs while traveling.”
“Our Chunks loved hanging out with Rowan! He got lots of excersize, love, and play time and is now sleeping peacefully because he had so much fun! Definitely will be using her again!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. when I was a kid I would bring home abandoned kittens and feed them with a dropper. I’ve had a total of 5 dogs throughout my life that were great and loyal fur babies. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were mine. I will work with your routine and what needs to be done for them. Im here to make sure that a beat isn’t missed while you’re gone. I will work around their schedule to make sure everything is done for them correctly. As I mentioned earlier I will work around your animals schedule to make sure they are taken care of.

About: Hi! My name is Marinda and I chose to be apart of Rover because I have always loved animals. I serve as a manager at a local veterinary hospital and have years of experience when it comes to dog watching. I’m hoping this is an opportunity I’ll be able to take care of others dogs! I have always enjoyed all types of dogs and seem to get along with them all as well. Hope to be able to be apart of your pets life! I am a full time employee who would love to have a second job but doesn’t have the time for it, so, I fill in my easy days with Rover! It’s easy to manage with my own hours! First and foremost I read about the pet and what the owners have to say about them. This will give me a good idea for what I am getting into when I enter the owners house. I will already know how the dogs are going to act and I will be prepared. I never leave the doors unlocked/open unless advised by the owner. I will do exactly what the owner has said to do. I will always double check a dog is secured with their leash when going outside, I will also be aware of the weather and how that might switch the dogs needs when going outside.
About: I have a beautiful Russian White kitty, & live with a Maltipoo & Goldendoodle. I fostered a Huskador for 2 years & cared for her 9 puppies. Growing up, we had 3 Schnauzers & 2 Chow-Chows. I've also had birds, reptiles, & hamsters! Rover makes it possible for me to make some fun money doing what I love; I can't wait to meet you, & look forward to looking after your fur baby🐾 My schedule is very flexible! I just moved to the area & am working on piecing together a full-time schedule for myself. Currently, the only time i'm not available is on Tuesdays, 9am-1pm. My #1 priority when it comes to caring for your animal is bonding. When i'm comfortable, the owners comfortable, & the pet is comfortable, that's when I can provide my best care. This is why I like to do meet & greets prior to me caring for your pet! Side note- I am completely comfortable with & have experience with big dogs, even play wrestling with them!
“Kendra was amazing with my dog Winter! She was a great house guest and cleaned up after herself and beyond. I got several pictures of Winter and prompt replies when I would check in. I will definitely use her every time I need someone to come stay.”
“First time user of Rover, and we love Sydney! Our dogs loved her, which one of our dogs is not a fan of strangers. But he approved so much that he jumped up and cuddled next to her immediately. Which DOES NOT happen! She was thorough with asking questions. We will be using Sydney again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Genesee Depot
Mary was an absolute gem! She cared for our dogs, Kemah and Ginger, with such warmth and dedication that we knew they were in the best hands. From regular updates to thoughtful attention to their routines, Mary went above and beyond. When we returned, both pups were relaxed, happy, and clearly smitten with her. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and genuinely loving—Mary is truly a dog whisperer, and we’re incredibly grateful for her care!

FAQs for House Sitting - Genesee Depot
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Genesee Depot on Rover is $40 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,298 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Genesee Depot. 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 Depot 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 Depot 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 Depot 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.
