About: I’m a dedicated dog owner to my Miniature Poodle, Milo, so I understand the daily care, attention, and love dogs need. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, grooming basics, and keeping a consistent routine. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I’m very reliable with schedules and instructions. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a calm environment, I’ll make sure they are well cared for like my own. I am available daily. I feed my dog in the morning and at night. I’ll have to ensure that no dogs fights over foods. I’ll have to put one of the dog in bathroom and another dog can eat in a room until foods are done. They can be switched. I have a yard and I can put them in crate if needed. I’ll make sure everything goes well and safe. I ensure that pets have a safe, clean space to play, rest, and eat. I follow any specific instructions from the pet parent, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise needs. I supervise pets closely, making sure they’re never left in unsafe situations, and I provide plenty of love, attention, and mental stimulation.
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.
“I highly recommend Geeana to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate and attentive sitter for both their home and their fur babies. Our regular sitter was unavailable, and I was understandably a little nervous about entrusting our two dachshunds—and our home—to someone new on short-notice, especially since we would be out of state for a week. One of our dogs is nearly 16, and both require a lot of hands-on care and attention. From the moment Geeana stepped in, she gave them exactly that. She was incredibly caring, attentive and dependable, and she kept me updated every day—often multiple times a day—about how our girls were doing, whether they were eating well, taking their medications and generally how they were feeling. Those updates gave me tremendous peace of mind while we were away. I will always appreciate the genuine compassion and care Geeana showed our pups. She went above and beyond, and I wouldn't hesitate to have her care for them again. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your pets and your home, I wholeheartedly recommend Geeana!”
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!
“Christine took great care of our two dogs and our home for a full week. We received updates daily with pictures of the dogs enjoying their time with Christine and came home to the house in fantastic shape. We hope to have Christine again when we’re out of time next!”
“Camille was amazing!!! She took great care of our chihuahua while we were away. I never once had to worry about a thing as I knew my pup was in great hands! The photos that were sent to us were amazing and also gave us a sense of ease. Will definitely book with Camille again!!! 😄”
About: I’ve serviced the community with dog sitting and walking over the span of 4 years. Growing up, my family took care of foster dogs, giving me experience with a wide variety of canines. From stubborn old timers to anxiously attached pups, I approach each animal with patience and understanding. I also have experience caring for parrots! I'm a graduate student, so have availability throughout the entire week. I’m also available for overnights during the week and weekend (if I’m not already booked up). Shoot me a message if you have any scheduling questions! I strive to provide excellent and professional care when pet sitting in my clients home. I always leave my environment cleaner than when I found it and leave any closed doors undisturbed. I make sure that collars and harnesses are properly secured before exiting the home.

“Marty is amazing! We always feel so confident and comfortable when she stays in our home with our elderly pups. She is flexible, supportive and so sweet. Thank you Marty!”
“Edward did a great job for us. He and our dog Buddy got along famously, and he was especially diligent about keeping us informed about Buddy’s time with him. Edward stayed with Buddy for five days and kept us up-to-date throughout. Additionally, the house was left in perfect condition. We will certainly use Edward for our next trip away.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for all animals since I was young. Groomed, walked, played with, fed, cleaned, cuddled, and loved. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc. I currently work, but always have time for animals and caring for them. I have pets of my own that I care for as well. Evenings, weekends, and holidays, I’m available to assist, even on a last minute basis. I provide a calm, yet playful and welcoming personality to all animals I know, love, and just meet. Lots of love, attention, food and treats always keeps animals happy and comfy, especially when their loved ones are away. You can count on me, your loved pets will be safe and happy upon your return!
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs! I regularly babysit my boyfriends puppy and have a dog and 2 cats, and before that I had a golden retriever who unfortunately passed away from old age several years ago. I have also babysat my neighbors 2 dogs several times. I work from home managing my own business so my hours are very flexible, and I am available most days unless I have a previous commitment. I do not currently offer pet sitting at my home, but when in your home I will take every precaution to keep your pet safe and make sure they feel loved and are having fun!
About: I’ve had pet dogs since I was a kid and I’ve always loved animals. I now have a pet cat and my part time job is being a Pet Care Tech, which I love doing. I’m working Monday to Thursday and I’ll be able to take care of your dogs or cats on Friday’s and weekends by walking them , playing with them , feeding them , and I can also give your dogs a basic wash if requested. As a pet care technician and cat owner, I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. 🐾 I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and specific needs so I can provide care that works best for them. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I always prioritize their safety and comfort, and I’m happy to send photo updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing! My goal is to make every visit a positive experience and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring, responsible hands.
“Kylie came to our house to stay with Walter for a couple of days while we went out of town. She kept us up to date with texts and pictures, and the house was clean and tidy when we got home! I highly recommend using Kylie ☺️”
“Ranait was an incredible house sitter for my shy and nervous dog! She had last minute available to help us out in a pinch and was so thoughtful in her communications and updates. She took excellent care of the house and most importantly, my furbaby. We’d use Ranait again in a heartbeat!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Genesee Junction is $68 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $80 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 November 2026, there are 526 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Genesee Junction. 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 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.
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 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 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.

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.
