“An amazing experience, Sophie was very attentive and helpful. It’s a great sign when you start to look forward to the check-in updates even while on vacation. I definitely recommend and will be having Sophie take care of Pine in the future!”
“I could not have been more pleased with Emily’s drop in visit on June 26, 2022. She was on time, responsive and competent. I felt totally comfortable knowing that my Piper was in her care. How wonderful to be able to have a good time and know that your precious dog is being well attended to. Five great big stars. Thank you, Emily!”
“I needed a last minute sitter over a holiday weekend and Matthew was great! He was quick to respond and took care with our dog Flynn. He was communicative during my time away and continued to provide quality walks even in the rain!”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat Tommy. She kept in close communication and updated us each day with a cute photo. We’ll definitely use her services again.”
“Aracely is doing a great job with our Goldendoodle, Luna! She’s on time, always walks her and refreshes her water among many other things. We appreciate her hard work and dedication!”
About: I have a large home with a large back yard, great neighbors with great pets of their own to play with. We recently lost our dog so we have some extra space in our hearts and home. I am currently working from home and would love some company while doing so. Come join me ***Please Note: All care will be given by me only. Other members of the house may play only I currently only have cats that will completely ignore any dogs coming in. I would take directions from you on how your fur baby likes to be cared for. As a 60 year old I have come to realize I am not equipped to board foster or shelter dogs.
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.
“It was a pleasure to have Jamie drop in for our dog while we were away. It gave us peace of mind to know she was there for him during our trip. I highly recommend her!!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7 years old. I always find the animal in the room and have gained a lot of knowledge over the years!! I have a Yorkie and a Golden Retriever myself. I trained my golden retriever myself as well. I’m currently a senior in college with a light schedule. I have a lot of gaps during my days. I am completely free on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (most often). I have enough knowledge to know what a pet needs in any moment. I will be able to keep an eye on them at all times. I am able to adjust to anything that a specific owner is more comfortable with.
About: New to Rover! I have 20+ years, like most of you, taking care of dogs (all ages & size) walking, training & loving. Raised in Rochester & know all the best parks & trails. I have an SUV and don’t mind taking the dogs places if requested. Night shift worker during the week, I make lots of time for my puppy at home and would love to make time for your dog during the day. I’m available all days of the week, unfortunately that doesn’t mean I’m available all the time but can make time each day of the week if necessary. Just reach out, your odds are high that I can help I know how important pets are to everyone’s family and will treat yours like you do at home, or better :) Learning your dogs behavior is a key to success, the more information the better (behavior around dogs, people, children, chewing, barking) to know if they are acting different in any way. I get excited each time I meet new parents of dogs, i wouldn’t trust some nobody with my dog unless I got to know them first, I am in my mid twenties and have lived in pittsford/penfield for most of life, I do not drink if that matters to you, I’d say based off appearance I look pretty clean unless it’s cold out then you may only be seeing what’s visible under my hood or hat. I’m well educated in the do’s and don’ts on what is safe and unsafe for dogs and puppies to accidentally eat. Coming from a family that has dealt with Lyme Disease I take precaution in where my dogs are roaming, and always checking my puppy and past dogs constantly for ticks
“Rachel was very flexible and punctual with my cats’ unusual schedule. She took good care of both of them, providing playtime for my energetic kitty and calm, quiet, care for my older cat. She made it easy for me to enjoy my time away!”
About: What sets me apart is my reliability, communication, and experience caring for others. As a youth sports director and coach, I am responsible for the safety and well-being of over 100 children, which has taught me the importance of trust, consistency, and attention to detail. I bring those same qualities to pet care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable and happy. Whether your pet is energetic and loves long walks, a young puppy working on routines and basic manners, or a senior pet that needs a little extra patience and care, I am committed to providing personalized attention. I am active, dependable, and highly organized, and I pride myself on keeping pet owners updated with photos, messages, and regular check-ins so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while you're away. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. As a coach and sports program director, I am highly organized and accustomed to planning my schedule around the needs of others. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so regular walks, playtime, and exercise are something I genuinely look forward to. I also understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine, whether that means feeding schedules, medication administration, potty breaks, or simply providing companionship and affection. I make it a priority to give every pet the attention and care they deserve and to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication administration (if needed), and any special preferences or routines. During visits, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy. I understand that pets can experience stress when their owners are away, so I focus on providing a calm, positive, and caring environment. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean and secure while I'm there. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can feel confident knowing their pets are safe and well cared for. Whether it's an energetic dog that needs extra exercise, a cat that prefers quiet companionship, or a senior pet that requires a little extra patience and attention, I adapt my care to meet each pet's individual needs.
About: I've had animals my entire life, with my first pet being a rabbit named Angel! For the past three years, I've worked professionally in animal care, gaining experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I'm also experienced in caring for a variety of small animals, including rabbits, rodents, reptiles, and birds in both a professional and personal setting. I am Fear-Free certified and have an in-depth understanding of canine body language and regularly work with dogs that have handling sensitivities, food or resource guarding behaviors, and stranger or dog reactivity. My experience also includes working in zoological settings, and I currently care for dogs, cats, and small animals in an animal shelter. I have a deep respect for every animal I meet and strive to provide compassionate, attentive care to everyone—from the tiniest mouse to the largest Great Dane. Reptiles hold a special place in my heart, so you can trust that I'll love and care for your scaly babies as if they were my own! I work professionally in animal care three days a week and would love to spend my extra time helping care for your fur, feathered, and scaly companions! I’m passionate about providing loving, attentive care to every animal I meet. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a Fear Free Certified animal care professional, I use low-stress handling techniques and adapt my approach to each pet's individual personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special behavioral or medical considerations, I'm committed to providing calm, compassionate care. I'll always follow your care instructions closely and keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible while you're away. You can also expect regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I require an in-home meet and greet with all new dog friends to make sure they're comfortable with me entering their space while you're away.
About: I’ve had a golden retriever, Toby, since I was seven years old and I love spending every moment with him! I’ve dog sat for my family members and friends many times and have dealt with dogs of all sizes and breeds! I’m currently in school right now so I am available any weekday after 4:30 and all day on weekends. I am very flexible with my schedule. I have an open back yard where my dog can roam and I can play fetch with him, I also sometimes talk him to the dog park and run with him there!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Penfield
This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little hesitant about leaving our animal house in someone else’s hands. But after meeting her, I immediately felt much more at ease. She took such great care of our dogs and cats (and fish!), checked in consistently, and sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She is so sweet, and we would absolutely have her back again!
Emily is a top notch dogsitter! My little Maltese means the world to me and I am always 100% confident that she will be well cared for by Emily. Emily is responsible, always on time, follows instructions to the letter and sends me the best pictures and notes. I cannot recommend her more highly!
Once again Amanda has come through for our three kitties. We had the longest ever trip away from them in Europe and she kept them happy and healthy. This was a bit of a challenge toward then end as the Canadian wildfires did not mix well with our allergic cat who was in a bit of a funk. We were in daily contact with Amanda and were able to change air filter settings and Hershey bounced back in time for our return home. What a relief, and everyone appreciated seeing our detailed report cards and photos as we travelled. We love working with Amanda!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Penfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
