“Mike is really awesome! He took great care of our cats, even the one who is afraid of people, and he also fed our fish! We loved all the pictures and video he sent us while we were away. We will definitely look for Mike next time we need someone to check on our kitties”
“Kathy is my go to sitter! If you ever have the chance to have her take care of your animals you will be more than happy! She has a way of putting my cat at ease while I am away. She takes the time to play with her and interact with her! I am thrilled with the love and care she gives to my pet. I highly recommend her as being responsible and caring.”
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I started dog walking at 16 and have been volunteering at local animal shelters since I was 18, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to treat your pets with the utmost care and ensure they’re happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time so I offer all services, but for house sitting and house boarding, I can provide potty breaks between 4-8 hours. I always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own. While caring for your pets, I make sure their routines stay consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to details like keeping feeding areas tidy, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring your home stays secure while you’re away.

“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”
About: I have great experience with cats, I have had my cat since I adopted her at the age of about 2 months old and adopted my other cat at 1 year old! I often walk and play my sister’s 2 year old poodle I currently work a hybrid position where I only work in office 6x a month with only 1-2 meetings a day, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am able to drive to your house as well if you do not live within walking distance. I take care of my sister’s dog when she goes to work and I am comfortable with crating dogs as well. I often take care of my sister’s cats when she is on vacation so I am good with feeding cats and cleaning litter as well as giving them love and attention when they want it!
“Riley has been a wonderful help to our cat! She is communicative and does a fabulous job. We have re-booked with her multiple times. Thank you, Riley!”
“Danielle is excellent. I am very particular about my cat and how he is treated. I am also very particular about clearing his liter and the space around the liter. My cat was very happy when I returned and my house was as clean as if I did it myself. I would most certainly recommend Danielle and will absolutely use her again!”
“Kia was great. I was able to go away for an extended work trip without worrying about my boys. I came home to happy well-fed cats. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone.”

“Tamikia did a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we were away. She came at the scheduled time and did all that was asked of her and more. She made us feel very comfortable leaving our cat in her care. We enjoyed receiving the daily updates and photos while we were away. We would definitely hire her again!”
“Wojciech took great care of our dog Nutella while we were at a wedding. This was our first time having a drop in visit in our home. He was super responsive and kept us updated on how much she ate and made sure she went to the bathroom. Nutella definitely appreciated the long walk as well! We will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: As a current animal science student, I have a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, and overall well-being. Allowing me to provide more attentive and informed care. I’m comfortable with maintaining structure and trust, following specific care instructions, and making each furry friend feel safe and at ease! With my flexible schedule in the afternoon and all day on weekends, walks, check-in, and extended care are super achievable, providing dedicated attention! Making it easy to give your pets the time and reliably while you are away! Your pets safety, well-being, and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to closely follow all instructions and maintain a secure and clean environment. I believe trust is just as important as care, so I communicate clearly, provide updates, and make sure you feel confident while your pet is with me. I deeply respect boundaries and privacy for you and your pet, while still giving them the attention and affection they need.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Penfield
Angelica is so terrific! We especially appreciate how she takes initiative to do things that we haven’t asked her to do, but that makes sense to do, like taking in the compost pails as we intended to ask her but forgot. When it comes to the pets, if she thinks of something we haven’t asked her to do, she runs it by us first! We feel very lucky to have her taken care of our pets.
Our usual pet sitter fell through at the last minute before a trip so I needed to book someone on late notice. Evelyn was incredibly responsive and accommodating and even made time to do a quick meet and greet before we left for the trip. She was extremely kind and sent us some incredibly cute pics for cat updates! She was excellent and would absolutely work with her again. Thank you Evelyn for taking such great care of our cats!
Heather was absolutely amazing! We felt completely at ease traveling knowing our cat was in such great hands. The visit update/report was detailed, thoughtful, and reassuring. On top of that, Heather even helped brining in our mails and packages. We could not have asked for better and will definitely rebook in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Penfield is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 9,652 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Penfield. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Penfield. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
