“I cannot say enough positive things about using Joey as a dog and house sitter. If you are considering booking him, just do it. Prior to leaving town, I had to change my booking dates more than once and Joey handled it very professionally. While away, I received hilarious pictures of my very happy dog having a great time. My dog and booking can be “a lot.” We have acreage with many critters and a strong dog who loves to hike and swim. All went well and then some… Joey left the house immaculate, my dog tired out and my bird feeders filled. I couldn’t have come home from a long vacation to a better situation. I can highly recommend Joey and will definitely be rebooking him.”
About: I’ve had a dog my entire life, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, though I’ve primarily grown up with small and medium breeds and have had experience with larger breeds as well. I can handle daily routines, walks, playtime, and different personalities with patience and care. I treat every dog with love, respect Baths are available upon request for $15. I work full\-time Monday through Friday from 6:45 AM to 3:15 PM\. However, I’m available for weekday overnight house sitting, as well as drop\-ins and walks after work hours\. I’m also available on Wednesdays and Thursdays after 5:00 PM\. I can provide care before and after work and am happy to spend evenings and nights with your pets, making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and cuddles. I care for every pet as if they were my own and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles, while making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and pets who need medications or extra attention. I keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they know their pet is happy and safe while they’re away.
About: I have walked dogs and pet sat since I was 14. Currently, I am a guardian to 1 senior 10lbs dog and 2 11lbs cats. I am comfortable administering medications and caring for animals of all sizes. Other animals I have cared for include birds, tortoises, and guinea pigs. I currently work a full-time position but am free most early mornings, overnights, evenings, and weekends! I have plenty of time to attend to your pets, just give me a warning! I will treat your home and animals as if they are my own. In addition to pet care, I am happy to water plants and bring in mail/packages.
“Absolutely wonderful experience. Gigi was punctual (early actually) and bonded with my dog instantly. She provided lots of updates and pictures which made it so easy to have an absolutely worry free trip. My dog has separation anxiety and often won't eat at all for a sitter but he actually ate his meals basically how he normally does for us which was a wonderful surprise. 12/10 experience. All happy animals and happy owners here! Will without hesitation book Gigi for future house sitting as well”

“Nikki was awesome with mg two dogs!! Very attentive and loving! Also very helpful around my house; watering my plants while I was away!! Highly recommend and will book Nikki again!!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs! Very much a huge animal lover, and I’m the type of person to wave to any dog/cat I see on my walks around the city. I’ve always considered my pets to be part of the family. I’ve dog sat for many family members and family friends, and I approach it with a great deal of love and respect. Back in 2023 I had to put my best friend German Shepard down, and I haven’t found it in me to get a new companion yet. I’d love to give your dog/cat some love and attention! So I work 8:30-5 every day, but I am available to walk/check in/feed your pets anytime before or after work. I’m very flexible and am willing to do what I need to do to make sure your pets are taken care of. Although I’m unable to keep an animal at my apartment in Rochester, I have a lot of experience in walking dogs, taking care of all animals, and I’m very good at following instructions and taking care of your pets the way you want.
“Patricia was fabulous with my puppers. She sent regular updates, and pictures, and was just overall great. I look forward to booking her in the future to help with my doggos”
“Katrina accommodated a last-minute house-sitting request to watch my puppy for an evening so my husband and I could attend a family party. Katrina was quick to respond to my messages when booking and during her stay. She arrived on time and my poodle seemed to have had a good time with her.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life especially bigger dogs like German shepherds. But I recently got a black lab golden mix and would love to bring him over for a puppy play date:) I’m currently working full time but I can make a visit either before or after I get out to play with your pets and make sure they get the care they need! It would definitely brighten up my day as well before going in and give me something to look forward to after:) I have a friendly golden lab mix to help keep your fur babies company if you would like. He loves to play and is such a sweetheart
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 40 years and currently share my home with three cats. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, and small pets, including senior pets and those with medications or special routines. I’m calm, dependable, detail-oriented, and believe every pet deserves care tailored to their individual personality and needs. I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to offer dependable morning, afternoon, and evening visits throughout the week. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. I treat every home with respect and carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, and any special instructions. I’ll keep your home secure, clean up after your pet, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
About: I had a cat for 20 years and cage aninals when i was young. I have owned a dog with anxiety so patience was key. He needed Medication for that and his hips. I own two cats and a hedgehog. My cats come to a whistle, know how to sit and lay down, go to their blanket where ever it is. My older cat is great in the car and the younger cat I am currently training. I cut their nails and bathe them myself. Both are leash trained. I handle my hedgehog daily so that he is well socialized. My cats never bothered the rats or the hedgehog when let out of the cages. They would sleep woth the dog when no one was home. I work 12 hour over night shifts for my regular job. I am looking for day time and, when off night time or overnight opertunities to fit my shifting schedule. I work in Macedon and live in West Henrietta so I am flexible with locations. I am a quiet private person. I have two cats and a hedgehog. I previously owned rats, a dog, leopard gecko, and other caged animals Cages, boxes, bowls and, other cage items are cleaned daily as well as deep cleaning every 4 to 5 days or as needed. I enjoyed taking the dog as well as my cat for a walk! I have patience with animals with anxiety. I walk or handle pets that friends have such as snakes and birds.
“Leslie took Momo on last minute and did a fantastic job with him! She was prompt and clear in her communication, and sent me many photos throughout her care for him :)”
“Kelsey was wonderful with my diabetic dog. He was clearly well taken care of, and Kelsey respected the space she was staying in well. Very trustworthy and will definitely request as a sitter again!”
About: I’ve taken care of small to medium dogs since I was 10 years old, didn’t start to officially dog sit until 5 years ago. I grew up with two small senior dogs in my family, so I have a soft spot for senior pups :) I’m currently working full time but WFH on Fridays, so I have my weekends open and weekdays after 5:30 PM! If this aligns with your schedule, I would love to spend time with your pup. I do have a small apartment in Red Hook but my neighborhood has a bunch of parks with shade and lots of grass, so we could spend a lot of time outside!
“I felt very comfortable leaving our 2 pups with Karibian while she stayed overnight. She hand fed one of our dogs and gave meds to our other dog who got sick right before we left. She also kept the house clean because we had someone come in to look since our house was on the market for sale. I would highly recommend Karibian and we’ll be calling on her again!”
“Sierra once again took care of my old dog, Sammy. She gives him all his medicine on time. She is flexible with the schedule. This is the third time I’ve use her. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter”
About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Genesee Junction is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Genesee Junction
You can't find better than Parker! He is very kind and attentive. I had anxiety about leaving my senior cat and he made me feel relaxed immediately. He gave me lots of updates and I felt like he put in a lot a effort to bond with my shy cat. He's wonderful, I hope to book him again when I travel.
This was my first time leaving my house and dog with Cullen. He exceeded all expectations. He played with and exercised my border collie often, sending me photos after each outing. He left the house cleaner than when he arrived, including washing the sheets. I will absolutely use Cullen again. Paul
She was wonderful during our entire trip. We truly feel like she gave our dogs a vacation while we were on vacation. She did a wondeful job communicating daily and providing updates. We will 100% be using her moving forward. Our dogs loved her and she was comfortable and confident.
Bella was AWESOME!!! Highly recommend!!! My wife and I were nervours at first because this was the first time using Rover and finding someone we did not know to watch our fur babies. She agreed to come and meet us and our furbabies prior to the actual date. Our dogs (dogs are the best judges of character) loved her from the moment she entered the house. Bella was in constant communication with us, sending text messages and pictures. She is a sweet and kind person. Very responsible. I would definitely use her again in the future.
Cassidy was great with our 5 month old puppy for a house sit while we had to be out of town for a few days. She sent pics and took him for walks and had plenty of playtime. She also left our house tidy - couldn’t even tell she was there. We’ll definitely have her back again!

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 Junction 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 Junction 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Junction 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.
