“I have a 2 1/5 great dane who suffers separation anxiety. I am so very glad that she was under Joey's care! I didn't worry about her, not even once on my 11 day trip in Europe. We had a meet & greet at my house prior to his stay. I had my son come up to get a second opinion. At first I thought oh no, both my son & I thought Joey would be good to stay & watch my girl. When Joey said even though he was willing to watch he didn't think it was going to be a good fit. Both my son & myself explained that she has to check out new people from a distance & on her own terms, she just needs feel safe. Once she knows she's fine she'll bring them a toy to say here's a gift & you are now my friend. He received his gift, along with a new friend who is a 130 lb lap dog with very long legs! Joey kept us updated daily, along with photos of Aphrodite. I was able to enjoy my trip without any worries about my girl. I am very grateful to have found the perfect dog setter who stayed at my home with Aphrodite. I highly recommend Joey & will most definitely use again. He was the perfect match for her & he respected my house.”
“Beverly did a great job taking care of my two high anxiety dogs at our home. She stayed for 3 nights and sent lots of pictures and updates. She left the house exactly as we left it. No problems at all! She was very sweet and professional when I met her for a meet and greet and in all of our correspondence. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★”
“Short notice trip. Regular sitter was on vacation. Found Emily on Rover. Phone interview followed by meeting at the house to introduce dogs. Emily was PHENOMENAL. Constant updates and photos. She's a keeper!”
“Parker is the best pet sitter!!! He took great care of our 2 dogs and our cat while we were away for a week. One of my dogs was suffering pretty severe separation anxiety and refusing to eat. Parker communicated with us and we worked together to find a way to get Mooney eating again. Though still anxious, Mooney remained safe and healthy throughout our time away. Parker showed so much patience and kindness and kept us updated with texts and pictures. He took great care of our house and, when we got back, it truly looked like he hadn’t even been there. I’m so grateful we were able to book Parker for the week as he seriously went the extra mile. Of course our animals were happy to see us, but I think our girl dog misses her snuggle buddy!”
“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!”
“Kate did a great job caring for our dog, cat, and house! She was reliable and communicative, with lots of photos. One thing that stood out to me was that she shared “bad” news like when my dog didn’t eat a meal. This is typical of my dog, and didn’t alarm me, but it built trust knowing that she told me everything that was going on instead of just saying “he’s great!” We will definitely try to hire Kate again.”
“Ricky did amazing! I have two dogs we rescued, little dachshunds. One of the boys we have can be loud, and aggressive. My partner and I were very anxious going into this fearful of any lash outs or boy could have. Ricky handled the my boys with tenderness and loving care. By the last day I was told my naughty boy was excited to see him come through the door for their daily walks. You’re amazing Ricky!”
“Mia was dig- whisperer with my new rescue, Remy. He barked incessantly when they met and was kissing her by the Time I got home. She took great care of the menagerie and sent great pics.”
“Ona is wonderful. We were gone for about 2 weeks and she was wonderful for all our critters including (one large dog with some separation anxiety, one large dog who can be bit of a handful on walks). She communicated with me daily. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our home and beloved pets were in such good hands.”
“Gigi was fantastic. I went on a 5 day trip and I didn't worry about my pets at all. She took plenty of pictures and videos to put me at ease and show that the pets were well taken care of. She followed every instruction I gave her. She left the house as clean as it was when I left, which isn't easy to do in the winter with a German Shepherd that likes to play in the snow and mud. My neighbor even messaged me to say that she was doing a perfect job taking care of the pets. I definitely look forward to hiring Gigi in the future for my travels!”
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’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have two Beagles of my own. I have years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as dog sitting for friends, family, and other pet owners. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I’m happy to keep up with regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to make sure your dog feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend most of the day with the pets in my care. I can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I have a spacious home with a large, mostly fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely get outside and play. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep pets’ routines, comfort, and safety a priority. I also have two friendly 20-pound Beagles who enjoy gentle play and would provide company for dogs who are comfortable around other dogs.
“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!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Henrietta on Rover is $44.79 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 526 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Henrietta. 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 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 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.
