“Tara is amazing! Tara stayed with our two puppies for 4 nights at our house. Tara is so kind and a great communicator. We got lots of pictures and updates. The puppies were so happy and well taken care of. Our dogs were for sure disappointed when their time with Tara ended.”
“Sam took excellent care of my dogs and home. I was happy to get pics and updates, as well as to come home to a clean house. He even washed the bedsheets ? I recommend Sam for both house and pet sitting!”

Please feel free to reach out to discuss your pet’s needs—I’ll always do my best to accommodate when possible! At this time, I do not have the means to board pets at my house for an extended stay but am looking into it in the future.
About: I’ve always been the designated animal lover in my family and the person everyone calls when they need a trusted pet sitter. I’ve cared for dogs for a week at a time on many occasions, so I’m comfortable taking on the responsibility that comes with extended care. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I currently work two jobs, but I often have free evenings and pockets of availability throughout my week. I’d love to use that extra time doing something I genuinely enjoy! Whether you’re working late, have plans after work, or simply need someone to stop by and let your dog out, I’m happy to help I know how important it is to feel comfortable with someone caring for your pet in your own home. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that keeps your pet safe. I’ll treat your home with respect and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away.

“Sydney did everything she promised to do while watching our dog for a week. Our dog is very shy and very sensitive and she was respectful to his needs. She provided pictures daily (per my request) and was very easy to reach whenever I texted her. When we returned you’d never know anyone was here! Everything was neat and in order. We will definitely use her again!!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have experience caring for pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! Whether your dog is big, small, energetic, or loves to cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care. I know how important your furry family members are, and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them in my hands! I’m currently in college so my schedule looks like dog-sitting Friday afternoons - Monday mornings, potty breaks/drop ins are best during the week from mornings - noon! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable and happy in their familiar environment! I make sure to follow their normal routines, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always adjust my care to what works best for them. This also includes any specific kind of care or action my client chooses for their own dog behaviorally. I also respect my clients’ homes and make sure to keep everything clean and tidy.

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Stephen and Amilie were very communicative to us about how our animals are doing. We felt very comfortable with them and they took great care of our animals! We would no doubt use their services again!”
“Riley took great care of our GSD! On top of that, she was extremely flexible and considerate when we had to modify the dates and times due to a family emergency. Shadow was well loved and cared for, and we received clear and honest updates while we were away. Thank you, Riley!”

“Myah was great at communicating with us ( including sending pictures) while we were gone and asking questions about a health issue with a dog. We had no doubt our dogs were in good hands! Highly recommend her services and wouldn't hesitate to rebook with her.”
“Fatima was amazing to work with. I booked her on short notice before the holiday when my original plans fell through. She offered and made it a priority to come do a meet & greet on days notice. I’m always a little nervous when using a new sitter especially when they stay at mine, but my mind was at ease immediately when I met her. I could tell she has a big heart and really cares for animals. She followed all instructions and she went above and beyond spending time with Diesel doing his favorite activities (walks, playing fetch, swimming, etc.). She was incredibly communicative and sent a lot of pictures and videos which was much appreciated. As a former Rover sitter and a frequent user of Rover’s services, I can confidently say that Fatima is one of the best sitters I’ve come across. I will definitely be using her in the future and have already recommended her to others looking for sitters. Thank you Fatima!!!”
“Allison did a superb job with our multiple dogs and cats! We got daily pics and updates from her which helped ease our worries about the care of our pets. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs. We will definitely be using her again and already reserved her for our next trip. Thank you Allison!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Genesee Depot is $40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $40 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 1,228 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Genesee Depot. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
