About: I have worked with dogs for about 6 years now and love dog sitting for families. I am a reliable sitter and will take the extra time to make sure your dogs are comfortable and safe. I have experience with administering medication and help calm the animals during loud noises(fireworks) and thunderstorms. I absolutely love dogs and would love to help your furry friends be comfortable while you’re away! I have pretty open availability during the summer and am available for multiple night dog sitting sessions. I would love to spend some of my free time with your furry babies! While dog sitting, I like to spend time outside with the animals and let them exercise. I love to snuggle up with them and take them on walks. I am also able to aid in lifting senior dogs onto couches and beds. weight limit for lifting: 115 lbs.
About: I have taken care of various dog breeds throughout my life. I have experience taking care of 6-8 puppies at the same time; walking dogs as small as Pomeranians and as big as huskies and golden retrievers I currently work remotely and my schedule is flexible. i have plenty of time to schedule pet sitting, pet walking and more. I’m available for same day calls I am flexible and can adapt to any type of pet care is necessary. All depends on the requirements that the client asks and I will respect them and execute safely and responsibly for the dog.
“Jade was so helpful and took our dog on a walk and fed her dinner (which included a very long instruction list). We are so thankful as it made our wedding weekend so easy and smooth for us to enjoy without worry. Thank you!”

About: I am a dog groomer so I know how to handle dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments safely. I have worked in kennels with large numbers of dogs as well as grooming salons. Pet care is my entire career! As a dog groomer, I live and breathe dogs and dog safety. I work part time with Rover and part time at a grooming salon. Establishing a good relationship with your pet is very important to me! I will let your dog come to me and take time to get to know them. I understand dog body language and can handle dogs of all sizes and ages for walks and grooming.
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs for a good portion of my life. I have lots of experience with lots of different breeds and ages. I've also cared extensively with seniors. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to help care for your pets. I am also available for walks. I am an avid lover of Webster especially! But, I can travel up to 10 miles! From drop-in visits, to caring for your dog at my home which has a fenced in yard, or taking your dog for walks. I also have a dog of my own.
About: I grew up with cats and dogs! Very much a huge animal lover, and I’m the type of person to wave to any dog/cat I see on my walks around the city. I’ve always considered my pets to be part of the family. I’ve dog sat for many family members and family friends, and I approach it with a great deal of love and respect. Back in 2023 I had to put my best friend German Shepard down, and I haven’t found it in me to get a new companion yet. I’d love to give your dog/cat some love and attention! So I work 8:30-5 every day, but I am available to walk/check in/feed your pets anytime before or after work. I’m very flexible and am willing to do what I need to do to make sure your pets are taken care of. Although I’m unable to keep an animal at my apartment in Rochester, I have a lot of experience in walking dogs, taking care of all animals, and I’m very good at following instructions and taking care of your pets the way you want.
About: First, what sets us apart is that we can provide pet care for many animals, not just dogs and cats. If you are someone who needs care for all of your pets such as fish, birds, and small rodents. We are very comfortable with that and we think it would be fun to provide those services too! We have been dog sitting together for friends for over the past 7 years. Kate has been for over 20 years. We live in Rochester and are "all in" with pet care. James works at an elementary school and helps out at home in the evenings. Kate is a full-time student working on her dissertation. We are able to house sit at our clients house and we fit our daily routine with wherever we are at in the city. We always make sure that the area is “pet-proofed”. Meaning that there are no choking hazards or other things that they can get to. Keeping the home tidy and clean is very important to us.
About: I own a Husky mix named Prisma who is turning 3 this year. She is quite energic and also epileptic. She is my daily experience. However I have sat for dog a bit bigger and much smaller! That includes Shihztus, Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Corgis, and Border Collies. I'm patient and responsible. My goal in any work field, but especially with your loved ones and possessions, is being reliable and communicating. This is what I find in my experience to be key for providing the best care and peace of mind. I work full time as a receptionist Mon - Fri, 8 to 4:30. This provides a lot of morning visits and overnight potential. Evening walks would works great as well. For specific requests, I can even dip into PTO to make the right situation work if a mid day visit is required during the work week. My Saturdays and Sundays are fully open at this time. I'm very patient and observant when interacting with pets of different personalities. Once informed on how you'd like your loved one to be cared for, I will do so in that manner. An obvious statement, but you'd be surprised how important that is to be said. If unsure or uncertain of care, we can brainstorm together as well to make sure I'm the correct sitter for the job.
“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!”


“Geannie was a wonderful pet sitter. She took good care of Rusty and sent photos and updates. She was punctual and spent plenty of time with him and also helped with making sure our kitties had some attention and a clean litter box. Easily to communicate with. Hope to have her care for him again.”


About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.
About: When I was in middle school, my science teacher went to the Philippines for the whole summer. I took care of her mices, dogs, guinea pigs and more. Growing up in Iowa, I have been around many animals including dogs. Also I have had friends who traveled to Europe and they had to leave their poodles, black labs and many more and trusted their dogs in my care at their home for a month or two weeks if needed when I lived in Washington state before moving to Honeoye Falls. When I dog sat, I made sure I gave medicine as instructed to the dogs as needed. I played with them, took them hiking, the beach, cuddled on the couch and learned about what they liked and don’t like and what makes them happy. I made sure that their owners were happy as well. When I was asked to come and dog sit again, the dogs would be waiting at the window waiting for my arrival. These dogs were sure happy to see me when I came back to dog sit them! I have plenty of time to play with your pups 🐶I would be available for boarding on the weekends and week days after 4pm. I would be happy to give lots of love and attention/play to your fur babies! I have a fenced yard and have two fur babies who love to socialize. I also love to spoil your dogs too! I work from home twice a week and can pet sit on the weekends as well! As for dog sitting in the client’s home I would treat your place with respect, love and care. Anything you need I will make sure that your pets receive it. I will also communicate and send pictures!
About: I have experience of taking care of dogs of any age/size/breed/and energy. My current dog Lola is 16 years old and is very fragile and requires extra care and loving so I have a history dealing with older dogs. In addition my aunt has 3 yellow labs of different ages who I take care of and watch when she is not around. I consider myself in good shape so I can walk your dog however far they need. I am currently training to be a pilot and my schedule is very flexible. I can work around what ever schedule the pet owners prefer. People have entrusted me to pet/house sit before and I make sure to follow any rules the home owner has in place. I will leave zero mess and the only indication Ill leave that tells you I was at your house is a happy fur baby!
About: A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, I'm currently a flutist with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra! I've been missing my spunky dog Kora who lives back home and have always grown up with dogs, which is why I've been a sitter for Rover since I moved here in 2021. Since then, I have done dog sittings, cat sittings, and even bird sittings! I love going for walks/runs, just hanging out, or curling up in the couch at home-- hopefully your dog loves some of these too! I've been taking care of dogs in total for around 15 years now, so I'm used to taking them out fairly frequently, getting up early for a morning walk, and bathing them. I am more than happy to take your dogs on a walk, or drop in and make sure they're well-fed and happy. I'm most experienced in home-care and will happily take care of your furry friends and house in whatever capacity you need! I've raised my dog Kora from puppyhood and am very familiar with the training required for puppies and dogs with reactivity. I have also fostered a handful of dogs (small dogs and large dogs alike) over the last few years and have experienced shy dogs who take some time to come out of their shells :) As a musician, I have a few hours here and there scattered throughout my day that I can walk or stop by/watch your pup. I'm a very active person and love being outside! I am more than happy to be outside/in your home with them as well! I unfortunately cannot house your furry friends because of my housing situation.
About: My husband Jonathan and I have grown up raising and taking care of dogs. Until we are ready to get our own dog again we would love to host your dog in our home! We and our children will make sure your dog feels like a part of the family during their stay. Between walks, playtime, belly rubs and everything else in-between, you can be sure your dog is well cared for. I am a stay at home mom so your dog will get lots of love and attention throughout the day, especially from my kids. Our schedule is great if your dog is used to being home around people and being a part of a daily routine. Your dog will be able to go out as much as they want throughout the day and get a walk or two for exercise and sniffs. I do require a meet and greet before your first booking in order to ensure your dog's stay will be a good fit for everyone. I have a fully fenced backyard with adequate grass space for potty breaks and playing fetch. Inside we have hardwood and tile floor, and I only allow the dogs on the first floor of my home (although we do spend the great majority of our time on this floor). We do ask that your dog be okay with being left downstairs for short periods of time; I wouldn't want your dog to be anxious and then scratching or jumping on the door to the upstairs. We also do not allow dogs on our furniture so please consider if your dog will be able to understand staying off the couch. When we are out of the house we can accommodate them on the first floor of our home and make sure their favorite bed or crate is set up for them.
About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!
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!
About: I have been a pet sitter, and dog-walker for 3 years in Maine. I am extremely caring and detail-oriented when taking care of new furry friends. I have raised Double Doodle and Goldendoodle puppies, and am happy to work on positive reinforcement training with young dogs! I am available for dog-walks at night after 5pm as well as open on the weekends for house sitting and checking in on pets while the owner is traveling. I am happy to evaluate the space where the pet sleeps, eats, and where the best areas for walks are in the neighborhood. For house-sitting appointments, a designated space to sleep is preferred to be able to care for the animal overnight as needed.
About: I grew up with a great dane, and then my family adopted 3 dogs of different sizes after that. I’ve been surrounded by, and taken care of dogs my entire life growing up in Rochester. I have worked for local dog daycare and boarding facilities as well. My location provides a good place to socialize with other dogs as well if needed, just minutes from several parks and open land. A fIexible schedule allows me to work with people to meet their specific needs, and take the necessary time to be thorough. I enjoy the process of working with dogs and understanding their personality. I use positive reinforcement techniques to reward behavior and maximize dog comfort. I currently work afternoons, and am a night owl. I spend my mornings drinking coffee or walking dogs, and evenings helping friends with pet care who work late nights in health care, law enforcement, etc. While I cannot board dogs overnight in my apartment building, I have experience boarding within owners homes. I know the stress of finding a private care provider, and offer meet and greet beforehand to make sure pet parents feel at ease. I also provide normal drop in walking/care while owner is away.

About: I have always had a love for animals. My family is flooded with all different types of dogs, from tiny chihuahuas, to monstrous St. Bernard’s. I have been around all different sizes and kind of animals. I also love cats. Cats are always welcome too! I know how to take care of a pet in the safest way, while also making their experience with you away from home soothing and less stressful. I am a senior journalist at a nationally recognized and award organization. I lectured high schoolers on journalism, and train the next generation of current graduates on journalism. For sitting, I will always treat the house with respect and will make an effort to clean up any messes that your pet makes. Anything I need to know for house sitting can be arranged beforehand.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Pittsford is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 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 908 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Pittsford. 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.
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 Pittsford 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 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
