“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!”
“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!”
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 can’t that Erin enough for taking care of my lab Irie. It gave me such a piece of mind while traveling , knowing she was in good hands. She shared pictures and updates throughout her time with Irie which was very nice and reassuring. 10/10 times I would have Erin watch Irie and if you’re looking for a great pet sitter, look no further. Enjoy! ✌️”
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!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I am happy to walk, bathe, feed, play, and cuddle! Comfortable administering meds or any other special requests. I recently lost my soul dog, so trying to get some extra dog love <3 I work full time but have a hybrid schedule! Usually work 9-5 M-F. Happy to check on pets before/after work and on lunch break. I have a small unfenced yard that I can take a dog to on leash. Happy to provide a crate if needed. Have loads of toys
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and no two are the same. It’s my priority to care for your pet’s specific needs to ensure their comfort❤️ I mostly work evenings so I’m best suited for morning and afternoon walks. For house sitting, same availability applies but I can accommodate nightly check ins. It’s essential to me that your pet feels comfortable! It can be stressful for them to away from you so I’ll do my best to keep their routines in their home environment.
“We are so grateful we found Geeana! After our original pet sitter backed out at the last minute before our trip, Geeana happened to be available, and she turned what could have been a very stressful situation into such a positive experience. She was calm, kind, and reassuring even when I was feeling anxious at our first meeting, which immediately put me at ease. She took wonderful care of our two dogs, who each have their own unique personalities and quirks. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, brought in our packages, and kept our home so clean that it was ready for us to walk right back into after our trip. Most importantly, it was clear that our dogs were loved and well cared for while we were away. Trusting someone with your pets and your home is a big deal, and Geeana made that easy. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”
“Jade was a perfect house/pet sitter. She watched my dog and two cats in a last minute request and was very helpful and nice. She was also great at communicating and I appreciated all the picture updates.”
“Robyn was excellent, very communicative and responsible. She handled everything extremely well, and even helped with an Instacart order reception of delivery. Extremely responsive and I had no worries knowing she was there! 10/10 would recommend”
“I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone who wants the best care and love for their pets while they’re away! I liked Hannah from the moment I met her during our meet and greet. She listened to all of my concerns and anxieties that I had. Hannah greeted me the day of departure and return. She followed my instructions thoroughly and sent me many pictures of my pets while I was away, checking in daily. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! Thank you Hannah, we will definitely be requesting your services 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’ve had pets my whole life, my first being a cat when I was 8 years old. I’ve always had cats and on occasion dogs. I have often been the friend people call to check on their pets while they’re away. I'm currelntly between jobs, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I'll be happy to play with puppies, cats, kittens, or sit and pet a senior animal. My cats get plenty of cuddle time, and I am happy to cuddle any animals no matter their size. No animal is too big to be a lap animal!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We have always had at least one dog in the house if not more. In the past 6 years I have helped my parents to puppy train twice. I love dogs unconditionally, but I am not afraid to show a little tough love when needed. I’m currently going back to school and attend a lot of local sporting events but I still make it a priority to take my dog for a walk daily. Whether we fit in a walk before I leave in the morning or in-between class and a game, I know how much she loves her walks. I also make sure to give her ample play time when I am home. I make sure that whether the pet is in a fenced in yard or not I am always keeping an eye on them when outside. I always respect the clients wishes regarding their animal being on furniture, in what rooms, and such on.

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Henrietta is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night.

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 Henrietta 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 Henrietta 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 Henrietta 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.
