“Madeline was awesome! She was communicative, sent wonderful photos, and did a great job! We were able to rest easy knowing our cat was in great hands while we’re away! Thanks, Madeline!”
About: I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always felt happiest when surrounded by animals! I have several years of pet-sitting experience caring for both large and small dogs, as well as cats. I enjoy long walks and am happy to follow your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, or simply having company, I'll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care while you're away. I work full-time for the University of Rochester and have a hybrid schedule, so I'm only in the office two days a week (Tuesdays and Wednesdays). The rest of the week, I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your furry family members! On weekends, my schedule is also very flexible. I enjoy golfing, but it's easy for me to adjust my plans to accommodate each pet's unique needs and routine. My goal is to make sure your pet receives the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routines, and preferences, so I take the time to get to know each pet and learn what makes them feel comfortable and secure. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, training, and household rules to ensure consistency while you're away. While I love giving pets plenty of affection and attention, I also respect their boundaries and individual needs. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your pet feels cared for and at home.
About: I’ve had a dog my entire life, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, though I’ve primarily grown up with small and medium breeds. I can handle daily routines, walks, playtime, and different personalities with patience and care. I’m open to caring for larger dogs as long as they are well-behaved and non-aggressive :).

“Joey is amazing with all my animals. My Cane Corso takes special introducing and not everyone I introduce him to takes the job. He liked Joey from the first day. I actually have a little farmstead with several types of animals, including a horse, a goat, an emu, over 50 chickens and other types of fowl. I even feed some of the wildlife! Joey does all of it. I get great pics and I'm always so happy with the detailed list he leaves of all the chores and extras that he does. He even remembers things that I forget to mention sometimes! Number one call for me all the time is Joey. Besides, he gave me a very reasonable farmstead rate. I highly recommend this sitter, especially if you have animals not listed on Rover!”
About: I have been breeding dogs since 2019 and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of various sizes, temperaments, and needs. Through breeding, grooming, and working closely with professional trainers and groomers in my network, I’ve developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, coat care, and handling techniques. I have groomed dogs through referrals and word of mouth and am very familiar with proper care, structure, and maintaining a calm environment. My background in the fire service has strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to community trust. I take dog welfare seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment in my home with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are always monitored, never left unattended outside, and introductions are done slowly and safely. I’m experienced with crate training and can crate dogs if needed or requested. Cleanliness, routine, and each pet’s individual comfort and safety are always my top priorities.
“Angelina is absolutely fabulous! She's friendly and our dog loves her. She's always punctual and really cares about doing a good job. We're so glad we found her. We very highly recommend her!”

About: I have taken care of dogs of many sizes, my own being 110lbs so i do have a lot of experience walking large & reactive dogs. I have also walked a cat!

I love sitting cats, as I grew up with them and have my own now. I am a school-based OT, so I available for drop ins and walks throughout the week usually late afternoon. I am available to the Spencerport area for short mid-day walks or drop ins during the week. I can easily care for your animal in their own environment, ensuring their safety while providing fun and quality care for them.

“Riley puts me at ease when I have to leave Spade (my 14 yr old Bombay male cat). She keeps me updated with photos and a narrative of what took place. She goes beyond and even cleans any mess he’s created. She is always punctual and attentive to his needs. I will recommend her with a glowing review and hope to book her on my next trip out of town. The best!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. My current dog, Koda, is a 75 pound rescue that required alot of training. I worked with professionals for months learning techniques to help him. I also walk him every day so I can handle large dogs. I promise he won't be too jealous when he smells your dog ;) I currently have a very flexible work schedule, and can make your schedule work for me! I would prefer to be done by around 5pm on weekdays. I love all dogs, and will treat your dog as if it were my own. You can be confident your dog is getting the care it needs and deserves in my presence.
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced dog lover with a special place in my heart for rescue dogs and high energy pups. As the owner of a high energy rescue myself, I understand firsthand the patience, structure, and attention these dogs need to truly thrive.

Emily is absolutely amazing. It’s clear she loves animals and she has a way with them! We’ve been trying to socialize our pup by having more people drop by and Emily was so understanding about the situation! She’s been great with our dog, Rigatoni. She’s patient, kind and knowledgeable!
I can’t say enough good things about Steph. She does a midday check-in for our 1 yo Australian shepherd a few days a week and he absolutely loves her. He can be a little particular about who he decides is part of the pack and Steph was able to warm him up very quickly, no doubt due to her extensive experience with animals. Steph’s communication is excellent, she’s willing to tailor her service to our dog’s needs and I have total peace of mind leaving our fur baby in her hands because she’s proven to be capable and dependable. She’s even brought one of her dogs and/or kids along sometimes to help us socialize him because I mentioned he struggled with those things. 10/10 would recommend booking Steph.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Penfield 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
