Top rated Genesee-Jefferson house sitters
“Alyssa was amazing! Otis can be a very picky, very eccentric dog; but he seemed perfectly comfortable with Alyssa and even asked for a snuggle in the morning. If he could talk, he’d probably rate her a 10/10. We would definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone with a more timid or anxious dog looking for an alternative to boarding, as well as anyone else!”
“Lavinia was amazing in every way! Amazing communication, maintained our dogs routine, snuggled our fur babies, and we came home to a well maintained house. Terrific!”
“I can’t begin to share how reliable and helpful Alicia was. This was a last minute house sitting for our pup and she was so helpful and kind. She’s walked her often and sent us pictures and even helped us take our trash out while we were out even though she didn’t have to. She’s a true gem and we cannot recommend her enough!”
“Ona is incredible and a dog whisperer. We have a highly anxious dog and Ona took the best care of her, got her to go outside and eat (which can be tough while we are gone). So thankful for her and highly recommended!!!”
“Draco spent some time with Bethany this past weekend. She was amazing. Communicated amazingly and sent a ton of photos which I appreciate. I was super nervous leaving him but it seem like it went really well and he was happy when we got back to get him. We will be leaving him for 10 days coming up and after this past weekend it has put me at such ease knowing he is going somewhere he is loved and cared for.”
“Good communication with Nikki, the house was neat & clean & Daisy well cared for with regular photos and updates. Only issue was our automatic lid opener on our trash can was somwehow not working properly when we returned.”
“Nikole was amazing! She house sat our two dogs and even looked after my cats while I was away for the holiday. She sent me pictures and kept me updated the whole time. She even took the pups out to the park which they love. Came home to my house perfect and the dogs happy and calm! She even left a sweet Christmas card, definitely rebooking for future out of town events!”
“Teri was wonderful, she made our first Rover experience easy and care free. We were a little nervous to turn over the care of our little guy to just anyone but Teri made it so easy with daily updates and photos! We would definitely book again when we go away on vacation”
“Rene was great. She did everything asked of her. The best thing is that she spent most of her time at my home with the dogs! Most sitters only had a few hours they could be available through the day, and then would just sleep here. Rene dedicated her time to being here with my fur babies, which was the most important thing for me”
“Emily was amazing! She was very communicative the whole time and sent lots of updates during the stay. It was so nice to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away, and it was even better to come home to happy dogs and a clean house! We would definitely recommend Emily!”
“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”
“Ricky did an amazing job taking care of our three dogs in our home! We have already booked him again for next month and as long as he wants to continue staying with our little pet family, he will be our first choice!”
“Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!”
“Daniel was a fabulous dog and house sitter. He went above and beyond in taking great care of my 16 year old spaniel and kept me up to date with reports amd pictures. I’ll be sure to contact him the next time I need help.”
“Anna was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and it was an extremely last minute situation — Anna was able to accommodate our needs and did a great job watching Chubb! She sent lots of updates with pictures and gave him all the love. We were admittedly a little nervous at first, again just since this is the first time we had a stranger watch our animal and stay in our house — but we could not have been happier with the outcome of this! She was also quite tidy and cleaned up very well, I will definitely be using this service / her again in the future :)”
“Suzanne did a really great job watching my pup! She met with me a couple of times before my trip, was patient with my anxious dog, followed instructions, took lots of notes, sent me great photos and updates, and left the house very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend her!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Since I was born, my family has had dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as a small farm. I believe pets deserve the love and care that make them feel like true members of the family. With seven years of experience working in healthcare, I know how to provide attentive care, affection, and the right support in any situation that may arise. I’m an active person who enjoys running, cycling, and racing sailboats, so long walks and playtime are never a problem. I believe in keeping pets engaged, comfortable, and happy—because a healthy, stimulated pet is one that enjoys a longer, fuller life. A little about me: I graduated from St. John Fisher and, while I don’t currently have pets of my own, that simply means I can give your furry friend my full, undivided attention. I would love the opportunity to work with you and get to know the four-legged members of your family. I’m currently seeking my next employment opportunity, which means I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. Whether it’s an overnight stay, a drop-in visit, or just a quick walk around the block, I’m here to help. With my background caring for both household pets and farm animals, I am confident in my ability to look after your beloved family member. While I do not currently have pets of my own or the facilities to board them, I am well-acquainted with local dog parks and experienced in safely managing animals, including keeping them separated if any agitation arises
“My dogs were excited to see us but not out of their minds. That means they were happy and content while we were gone. Everything went very well with the care of our dogs.”

I had a Rover cancel last minute and Lauren saved the day by being very flexible and communicative. I usually like to do a meet and greet beforehand but the timing wouldn’t allow it given our calendars and the short timeline. Lauren made herself available to text and I felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care. She sent pictures everyday and I came home to a very kind note. Hope to book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
It was such a relief having Hannah sit with our dog while in Rochester for an event which required our absence for long stretches of time. She was flexible with our schedule and sent us a video of how he settled in after we left. She carefully considered our requests and made suggestions based off of her knowledge of the area so that our dog would have an optimal experience - much appreciated! We are very happy with the care that she provided and will definitely request her again whenever we are in the area. Thank you again, Hannah!
Joey has that “Pack Leader Aura” that dogs gravitate to. I have a BIG Bully dog that is very particular about who he allows to handle him. The big guy LOVED Joey immediately upon introduction. Joey has genuine affection for dogs and is a natural caregiver. I highly recommend him and will use him frequently.
Ashlynn took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for a long weekend. She sent multiple updates each day with pictures and info about his day. She took good care of the house and left it tidy as well. I would reccomend her to anyone needing drop in or overnight pet care.
Thank you so so much Jada for taking wonderful care of our very high maintenance animals! Pet sitting for a diabetic cat, an elusive cat, and a quirky dog who only walks where and when she wants to is not easy but they are all doing wonderful. Thank you again!
Maria is amazing! We have been repeat clients because she always takes great care of our dogs, and they absolutely love her! She provides us with at least a couple check-ins daily and plenty of photos to show how happy and well taken care of they are while we are out of town ☺️
I can’t recommend Izzy highly enough! She took exceptional care of my dog and cat while I was away. My dog can be a bit reactive, but Izzy handled her with calm confidence—walking her two to three times a day and playing enriching games to keep her engaged. She also made sure my cat was well entertained (even using a tablet!) and administered her medication with no trouble. When my flight home was unexpectedly canceled, Izzy rearranged her schedule and stayed an extra night without hesitation. It was such a relief to know my animals were safe, happy, and not alone during what turned out to be a stressful trip home. Izzy is reliable, caring, and clearly has a deep understanding of animals. I’m so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
Nina was a great sitter for our three dogs. Even before the booking and meet/greet, she asked questions to get to know our dogs and their routines. She’s very thorough and detailed. Nina communicated throughout the stay with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She kept the house clean also. Would recommend and book again!
Anna has been an amazing dog sitter for us more than once! She is responsive and sends many pictures. Our animals are calm and excited to see her. She watched our pets few multiple days in our home and left our home clean - even helped with our plants while we were away. I would highly recommend Anna!!
Annaliese made an initial visit with Chester to get to know him. Chester is 14 and has mobility issues so we talked about his requirements while we were away for about six hours. We were impressed with her approach to Chester - he's sometimes protective when visitors come into the house. They got along great! It turned out we had to cancel our plans so we didn't need a sitter. However, I wouldn't hesitate having Annaliese as a pet sitter.
I have booked Emalee for overnight dog sitting a number of times now. She is my go to when I am out of town and I want to rest easy knowing my pup is well cared for when I am gone. Thank you for treating her like one of your own. Not to mention the updates are so reassuring to get. Emalee is so respectful of the house and the space going above and beyond to make sure things are left tidy!!
Rohila was super responsive and great with our dog, who unexpectedly got really upset we were gone and ended up being a handful. The cats--even our normally super shy and nervous one--seemed calm and happy when we got back. And I couldn't even tell someone had been staying in our house. Thanks so much for everything, Rohila!
Cassidy was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she really took her time to get to know them and their routines. She was very respectful of our home and gave our dogs all the love and attention while we were away. We have already booked her again for future trips.
