“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!!! 😄”
“Joey was fabulous! We set up a pre setting visit, and our dogs were immediately smitten with Joey! That set the stage for an amazing engagement with Joey. He sent daily updates and the cutest photos with clever & funny comments! Joey is a natural with dogs & we would highly recommend him!!!”
“Ricky "petsat" our elderly dog and 2 cats in our home for 4 nights and they were well taken care of. Our dog requires multiple medications and Ricky was comfortable with administering. He didn't balk at cleaning up little cat puke! He is quick with communicating and sent us photo updates. I felt comfortable that our fur babies were being well cared for. Thank you Ricky.”
“Emily was a fantastic sitter for our two cats and dog. This is our second time having her stay with our furbabies and we always know they are in good hands when she’s with them. She’s very communicative and provides us updates, which is so appreciated! She’s our go to Rover when we are out of town!”
About: My family has had pets since I was a baby; rabbits, hedgehog, cats, dogs to name a few. I have two dogs of my own that I take care of Tony and Jorge. I love all animals and taking care of them and getting to know their personalities. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the week. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship, and I can easily work around your pet’s usual routine. I am open to whatever the client needs for their furbaby, as everyone has different preferences for their pets. Lists are appreciated, and anything detailed is helpful. I like to do the best job possible.
“Laurie was amazing with our 4 furbabies (2 cats and 2 dogs). She even dealt with the drama of the 4th of July. She sent pics and updates everyday so we missed them less. Highly highly recommend Laurie!”
“Eric helped me when I was really in a pinch. He was kind, communicative, and dog-centered. Took my pup on a long walk and tired her out in a great way. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Nikki stayed at our home with 3 of 4 of our pets for a full week. Our dog was still on a special diet for a recent illness and our one cat is diabetic so she learned to do his shots. She even helped with one of the feral cats that I feed by giving him some medication after a recent dust-up. She sent updates and photos every couple days and reached out when she had questions. We returned to a clean house and the pets were all happy. We would definitely use her for pet sitting again.”
“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”
About: I am an animal lover at heart! I'm attentive, playful, affectionate, and kind. Animals tend to get comfortable with me extremely quickly and I love to be silly and have fun with them! But it is my utmost priority to provide a safe and individualized care experience for them, based on their personality and needs! I am available outside of my medical school course schedule (various) to care for your pets! I am happy to further discuss your needs and how they fit into my schedule :)) I’m happy to come to your home and provide pet care or pick up your furry friend for a long walk! Ensuring that animals are kept safe and healthy when in my care is a top priority of mine, as is respecting your home! I value building trust with my clients.
About: Hi there! We’re Gigi & Nate! I work from home full-time, and together we only take a few dogs at a time, so every pup gets lots of attention in a comfortable, home environment🤍 We carry our own private pet care insurance (not just Rover’s standard protection). We also keep a consistent routine so everything feels easy for the dogs. We care for every dog together as a team. My husband Nate works at a local school and gets home early, so one (and often both) of us is home throughout the day. We help dogs get comfortable using our dog door so they can go in and out freely and keep their usual routine. We’ve worked with puppies as well and can help reinforce things like potty training, crate time, and settling into a new environment. We keep things relaxed and typically have up to 3 dogs at a time, so every dog has space to feel comfortable. We do a quick meet & greet beforehand to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. Our setup works best for small to medium dogs. We have a fully fenced yard with a custom-built dog door, plus added safety features like anti-dig guards and front porch fencing for extra peace of mind. We also have cameras covering the backyard and main dog areas so we can keep a close eye on everyone. Inside, things are clean, cozy, and dog-safe, with floors and common areas kept clear so dogs don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. There’s also a fully enclosed indoor play area if separation is ever needed. ⸻ 🐾 Your pup will enjoy: – Small group – 24/7 dog door access to fenced backyard (fresh water always available) – Clean, dog-safe spaces (no kitchen access) – Separated during feeding to avoid conflicts – Daily walks or runs in a quiet neighborhood – Photo/video updates – Plenty of playtime and supervision (Healthy snacks like yogurt, berries, or pumpkin if you’re okay with it 😊) ⸻ We’re located right off the highway—Rochester’s last exit before Buffalo/Canada, only about 10 minutes from ROC Airport. I’m always quick to respond, and can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We do ask for booking at least a week in advance so we can schedule a quick meet & greet 🤍 I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day for walks, playtime, and regular check-ins, and can let dogs out frequently as needed while keeping a consistent routine. We have a fully fenced yard with a dog door, so pups can go in and out easily. Inside is clean, dog-safe, and set up for a calm, well-managed environment.
About: Im used to being around different dogs my whole life I’ve had my own dog for three years. I’ve also taken care of dogs for my friends and family. Right now I am not working since and I’m only 18 so I’m available whenever you need me unless it’s when I’m busy and doing something. I care for my pets by having a lot of toys so if they want to play with there toys they can also I walk them so they get the exercise they need.
“Maria was great! She took wonderful care of our boy and our home. Definitely put my mind at ease while we were away for the weekend knowing our dog was being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future.”
“Parker is the most wonderful house sitter! He took wonderful care of our two Great Danes and our house. He provided lots of great updates and pictures. I know our dogs will miss him as much as we appreciate having him to look after them. It is such a relief to have someone you can trust to look after your pets and house. Can't wait to book with him again!”
“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!!!”
“This was our second time using Kenan. He's really responsive and provides regular updates. Our fur baby got a bee sting while on a walk and Kenan let us know right away and kept an eye on Ruckus to make sure he was ok and didn't have a reaction”

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!!! 😄
Mackenzie did a great job with our German shepherd puppy and our two cats! She even watched our house for us while we were gone creating a worry free vacation for us! She brought in our mail and packages, left us a beautiful hand written note and washed the sheets! She went above and beyond. Our puppy got plenty of walks and socialization. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos.. we can’t wait to go on another vacation and use MacKenzie again!
Our cat Lily loved Corinne and so did we! She has the sensitivity needed to work with animals. She was very responsible, communicative, and I swear that our place was cleaner than we left it! She has earned our trust and will always be our first choice for cat sitter in Rochester.
Marina is simply fabulous! She keeps my dog safe, happy, and is very responsive and flexible. She sends pictures regularly and keeps me up to date on how things are going. When we had a mix up and picked him up two hours late, she was flexible and forgiving. I would recommend her to anyone!
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!
Whitney did a great job with my very anxious and timid Lily. She kept me up to date and sent photos. She was a last minute sitter and I am so thankful I found her! Whitney said she had a pup like Lily in the past so she knew how to care for Lily. Lily appears well cared for and happy! I would definitely ask Whitney to sit again for Lily!

FAQs for House Sitting - Genesee Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Genesee Junction on Rover is $69.15 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 558 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 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.
