“We can't recommend Emily highly enough. She stayed with our three dogs for a week while we were out of town. She sent photos of our dogs frequently and they looked very happy, relaxed, and generally at home with her. They were in excellent condition when we returned, as was our home. Thank you, Emily, for being such a thoughtful and excellent caretaker for our dogs!”
“Absolutely the best caretaker ever!!!! Joey was amazing with our dogs, easy to communicate with, and left our house cleaner than it was before he got there! We highly recommend Joey!!!!”
About: I have walked dogs and pet sat since I was 14. Currently, I am a guardian to 1 senior 10lbs dog and 2 11lbs cats. I am comfortable administering medications and caring for animals of all sizes. Other animals I have cared for include birds, tortoises, and guinea pigs. I currently work a full-time position but am free most early mornings, overnights, evenings, and weekends! I have plenty of time to attend to your pets, just give me a warning! I will treat your home and animals as if they are my own. In addition to pet care, I am happy to water plants and bring in mail/packages.
“We were so impressed with how Amanda took care of our 8 year old Bernese Mountain dog! Navi can be a bit of a puller and a strong personality on walks, and has a morning and evening medication regimen, and Amanda did great with everything. We loved the pictures and updates she sent us throughout our trip, and Amanda also left the house in amazing shape after a weekend staying with Navi in our home. 10/10, will book again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I am happy to walk, bathe, feed, play, and cuddle! Comfortable administering meds or any other special requests. I recently lost my soul dog, so trying to get some extra dog love <3 I work full time but have a hybrid schedule! Usually work 9-5 M-F. Happy to check on pets before/after work and on lunch break. I have a small unfenced yard that I can take a dog to on leash. Happy to provide a crate if needed. Have loads of toys
“Gianna is the absolute best. She was able to take care of BOTH of my crazy huskies on top of it being during the holiday season. It gave me peace of mind that she was also able to keep an eye on my house as well. Will certainly rebook with her again!!”
“If you’re looking for a trustworthy, reliable, tentative dog sitter, Kylie is your person! She did a phenomenal job at communicating throughout her stay in our home and gave our pups the best care. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and no two are the same. It’s my priority to care for your pet’s specific needs to ensure their comfort❤️ I mostly work evenings so I’m best suited for morning and afternoon walks. For house sitting, same availability applies but I can accommodate nightly check ins. It’s essential to me that your pet feels comfortable! It can be stressful for them to away from you so I’ll do my best to keep their routines in their home environment.
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: Hi! My name is Cory and I am a lifelong animal lover. I’m the one you’ll find at the party sitting on the floor with the dog. Friends and family have trusted me for years to care for their fur babies while they are away. My husband and I live in Honeoye Falls with two 9-year old Cane Corsos and 3 cats. They are family to us and we know the importance of having someone you trust care for them when you can’t. I have experience administering medications if needed and understand each pet has their own unique set of needs and preferences. Does your dog refuse to eat if his bowl is on the hardwood floor and not the carpet? I get it. Does your cat need to drink from the sink, but only at the right water pressure? I get it. My goal is to build a relationship with you and your pets so I can provide the best care possible. I’m currently working full time, so evening drop ins and weekend care will be my primary focus for now. We can work together to find scheduling that fits your needs and I will be fully transparent with availability. I will require a meet and greet with you and your pet before accepting any new bookings. This allows me to see if my abilities match their unique needs, as well as your expectations and preferences.
About: I’ve loved and cared for all animals since I was young. Groomed, walked, played with, fed, cleaned, cuddled, and loved. Dogs, cats, birds, fish, etc. I currently work, but always have time for animals and caring for them. I have pets of my own that I care for as well. Evenings, weekends, and holidays, I’m available to assist, even on a last minute basis. I provide a calm, yet playful and welcoming personality to all animals I know, love, and just meet. Lots of love, attention, food and treats always keeps animals happy and comfy, especially when their loved ones are away. You can count on me, your loved pets will be safe and happy upon your return!
“I would highly recommend Hannah to anyone who wants the best care and love for their pets while they’re away! I liked Hannah from the moment I met her during our meet and greet. She listened to all of my concerns and anxieties that I had. Hannah greeted me the day of departure and return. She followed my instructions thoroughly and sent me many pictures of my pets while I was away, checking in daily. I honestly couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! Thank you Hannah, we will definitely be requesting your services again!”
“Natalie was amazing. She kept us informed and was so wonderful with our pets. She sent photos and video. She also helped by bringing in packages and checking our house during a storm. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pittsford
We had Valerie stay with our two dogs this past weekend and couldn't have been happier. The dogs were well taken care of, happy, and clearly comfortable with her. She came to the house as promised, kept to their routine, and left everything clean and tidy when we got home. It was such a relief to travel knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
We were so impressed with how Amanda took care of our 8 year old Bernese Mountain dog! Navi can be a bit of a puller and a strong personality on walks, and has a morning and evening medication regimen, and Amanda did great with everything. We loved the pictures and updates she sent us throughout our trip, and Amanda also left the house in amazing shape after a weekend staying with Navi in our home. 10/10, will book again!
Emily took good care of our pets and home while we were away. There was a bit of a learning curve during the first few days as she became familiar with our pets’ routines and our expectations, but she was receptive to feedback and adjusted well. By the end of the week, she was following the routine consistently, providing helpful updates, and taking good care of the house as well. We appreciated having someone who got to know our pets and their individual routines.
Mary was an absolute joy to work with!! This was our first time having someone stay with our two dogs while away. Mary was amazing with them and made us feel so comfortable about the process. She was open to meeting our dogs prior to her stay and immediately showed how kind and wonderful she is with pets and people! She sent multiple messages and pictures, daily, which was so comforting. She showered our dogs with affection and attention. She took great care of our home and was so easy to have as a guest. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Mary. I think our dogs were sad when it came time for her to leave! We look forward to using Mary again in the future!
Amy stayed with our dog for 6 nights and took amazing care of him. I was very nervous leaving our dog for one of the first times longer term but by the end of the first day I knew I could relax knowing he was in good hands! Highly recommend and am grateful for all she did for our dog.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Pittsford is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $128 per night. 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 523 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pittsford. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Pittsford walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Pittsford maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pittsford. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
