“Shayna was great and took excellent care of our furball. She was prompt and quick with responses leading up to and during the service. It was our first time using Rover and she made it easy and straightforward for us.”
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 me working with dogs 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. I’m also willing to do dog daycare at your home. I take care of my cat by brushing him, feeding him, giving him fresh water , making sure he has his shots and insurance, and giving him treats. I also try to play with him when I can
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and size since i was 8 years old. Growing up I always wanted to work with animals and eventually I did. I worked at Verona street animal shelter and helped not only dogs but cats,bunnies,turtles,hamsters and more. I’ve dealt with really aggressive dogs and really scared/hurt dogs so i have knowledge on both.I took care of the dogs, trained, groomed, snuggled and loved on each and every dog of every kind. I am currently working full time at the moment so boarding will have to be on the weekends. But during the week there will be times i have a day off and sometimes there won’t but i will be able to have a couple hours to snuggle your fur baby :) Caring for the fur babies in their home i just follow the schedule and routine they have and snuggle up with them and play. In my home i have a 4 year old who loves animals as much as me and enjoys having fun, going for walkies and snuggling up by our electric fireplace.
About: I grew up with labs, one who lived to 14 years of age. After adopting my own dog, 3 years ago she was diagnosed with Addison's disease which requires a monthly vet visit and daily pill. If your dog needs medication while you’re away, I’m willing to administer it. I work 10 minutes from home and look forward to visiting my dog on my lunch break. She could use some company while I’m at work. I’m a single mom with shared custody of 2 kids, ages 3 and 1. Your dog must be comfortable with young children. It would be a pleasure for me to look after these important members of your family. I will be sure to send you many pictures and notes! I work full time M-F, however if you’re in my radius I would love to provide drop in visits during my lunch break during the week. If you would like me to board your pet, let’s chat! If you’re boarding with me, your dog must be friendly with young children (I have a 2.5 year old & 1 year old) and will be spending the day with my dog, Brinlee! I keep my own dog on leash and if we are comfortable meeting other dogs, I always ask the other owner first only if I know my dog is okay with it! My dog is welcome on my bed at night and sits on the couch next to me. If I’m caring for your pet, it’s important that I pass the sniff test. Let’s set up a meet and greet!
About: Have a puppy? I’m well-versed in puppy pee pads and the fun game of find the poop. Have an older dog? A slow meander or a quick circle around the yard and sit on the front porch are just as enjoyable as a fast paced walk. How about a bully breed? I’m used to the house hippo slamming into you when you enter the door. We have one of our own. Ever had your knees taken out from under you because a chimpmunk ran by? I have. Ever wrestle a house hippo afraid of water into a tub? Yup. That’s me. Bad listener? We’ve got one of those. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members. …and, yes, I always pick up the poo 🤓 I work from home with flexible hours, so I’m available during the days, in the evenings, and over the weekends. I am only able to take kid and pet friendly pets into my home, but am able to get to yours. It all depends on a pet’s need and the owner’s preferences. if they need exercise during the day or in the evenings we can take walks or play outside. If there is a mess, you can trust I’ll clean it up. Poop? I got it. Outside playtime? Absolutely. I can stop by once or several times a day depending on your pet’s needs.

“Jennel is wonderful! Great communication and personality. Felt great about my cat receiving wonderful care while we were out of state. Will definitely be booking with Jennel again! Thank you!”
About: We have a secure fenced backyard for supervised play and potty breaks. Dog hangout and sleep in the living room so they are always near people and part of the home. I’ve raised my own dog from a 2-month-old fluffball into a grown German Shepherd, which has given me firsthand experience caring for dogs through different stages of life. I also trained him to be friendly with my 3 cats, so I understand the patience and socialization it takes to help dogs & cats feel safe, comfortable, and happy at home. Available to check in on pet care every 2-4h daily on weekdays and weekends. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, playtime, and drop ins. Your fluffy friend will stay in a clean, calm house with a secure fenced backyard for safe potty breaks and supervised outdoor time. Inside, I have extra rooms that can be used to create separate space when needed. Safety and comfort come first!

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I grew up with a variety of pets, including goats, a horse, several dogs, and a hamster. From an early age I helped to care for them. The thing I enjoy most about animals is their unconditional love. I currently have a wonderful cat, Oscar, who I love with all my heart. I have cared for dogs of all sizes. I have past experience volunteering for the SPCA of Ulster County, NY, as a dog walker. More recently, I have gained experience in caring for cats, through having cats of my own, and through volunteering. I currently volunteer with Rescued Treasures Adoptions, caring for the cats at the Pet Supplies Plus stores. I absolutely love it. As a pet sitter, I will treat your pets like my own, making sure that their needs are met, that they are happy and safe. I look forward to meeting you! I currently work full time for a school district, so would be available early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I have a lot of availability on weekends and many holidays. I am available for walks, drop in care, and overnights in your home. While you are away, I will keep in communication with you, sending photos, updates, whatever is needed. I want you to know that your pets are ok and in good hands.

“Valerie was wonderful with my dogs! She worked with their quirks and their schedule and sent wonderful updates that made me feel so at ease having to leave my dogs behind. I would highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Stephanie came through when my sitter had to cancel last-minute. She was a life-saver!!! She was able to fit in time to meet the cats before I left, and provided excellent care. Beyond grateful!”
About: I love all types of animals, I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, horses, and even small pets such as rats, guinea pigs and hamsters. I can’t wait to take care of your pet I work part time almost everyday around 4-7 hours a day. The rest of the day is my free time. Weekends I can do any time needed, for example 8am-12am I play with pets inside and out, feed them, give clean water, and take nice long walks. I can even take your pet to the park!

Rebecca and Justin were fantastic. They were super great with our two German Shepherds. We have one dog who is a senior and one who is a picky eater and they were so caring and went the extra mile the entire time. We are extremely grateful and look forward to having them watch our girls again.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Irondequoit 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!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .
