“It was with great trepidation that I booked an overnight for our wonder dog Xylo. You see he had never been left with a stranger before and I was very nervous about leaving him. However, we had an absolutely awesome experience with Kate! The communication was outstanding! When I sent a text to ask about him (within a hour after dropping him off) she replied within minutes with pictures. In the morning, I received an update with how he did overnight as well as a video showing him eating his breakfast. Xylo was happy and relaxed the entire stay and we were thrilled with the care that he received!”
“Absolutely the best dog sitter I could have asked for. She took care of Mona like she was her own, and kept us updated including pictures everyday. I highly recommend using Sam for your dog sitting needs.”
“I highly recommend Daniel for watching your dog while you’re away! He watched my very needy husky Apollo and took great care of him. He sent me plenty of updates and made my husky feel like home with undivided attention. Thanks Daniel! Will definitely be keeping Daniel in mind for my next trip!”
“Dianna and Matthew were so accommodating and wonderful with our dog Reese! They sent consistent updates, wonderful photos and took great care of her. I was nervous to leave my dog somewhere unfamiliar but they were so patient with her and I would 100% consider leaving Reese with them again if we’re in the area. I appreciated how they made me and Reese comfortable and her safe while in their care.”
“Lourdes was so attentive to our pet and kept us updated perfectly. Our pet has special needs and Lourdes provided us such peace of mind with her living care of our pet. We are so grateful and highly recommend Lourdes as a pet sitter. Thank you, Lourdes. You are very special to us.”
“Kikka loved her weekend with Maxine. She was well taken care of and Maxine was very quick to respond to questions and sent plenty of pictures and updates! Highly recommend!”
About: I have been walking dogs and taking care of cats and dogs for years. I give cats and dogs some attention and play with them. I am currently available on weekends and week nights for walking dogs. I am flexible with the times on weekends. I can take dogs for more than 20 minutes to give them more exercise and an enjoyable time. If you need your dog (s) to stay at my house overnight or during the day on weekends, I can look after them, play with them, and walk them. I have a large fenced yard.
“5 stars isn’t enough! This was 10 yo Kramer’s first time away from home. His older brother died last month and they were never apart. This has been a very rough time of adjustment. Tammy is wonderful with Kramer! She has a warm heart, a dog friendly home and fenced yard. Kramer was extremely well cared for!”
About: Hi, fellow animal lovers! 🐾💕 I’m Olivia, and I’ve loved having furry friends in my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with dogs, and one of my favorite things is getting to know each pet’s unique personality, whether they’re a playful little goofball, a professional napper, or a shy sweetheart who needs a little extra time to warm up. 🐶🐱 I work a full-time hybrid job and am home most days, with availability that is primarily evenings and weekends. I like to plan ahead with pet parents so we can make sure your pet’s needs, routine, and care schedule are a good fit. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I take your instructions seriously and believe communication makes all the difference. I’m happy to share photo updates and little check-ins so you can see how your bestie is doing while you’re away! 📸💗 I no longer have a pet of my own, so getting to spend time with other people’s furry friends is something I genuinely look forward to. I love building relationships with both pets and their humans, and I’d be thrilled to become a familiar, trusted face your pet gets excited to see! Whether your kitty needs some company while you’re away or your pup needs a cozy place to stay overnight, I’d love to meet you both. Let’s make your pet’s next little adventure a happy one! 🐾 I currently work a full time hybrid job where I am home most days with a pretty flexible schedule. Due to recent life changes, I no longer have my own pet and am really missing having a buddy at home. I currently live in a first floor apartment, but there is a fenced in dog area right behind my building and love to take walks around the neighborhood. I have always been around animals and have a strong love for them all. A family member also a top Rover sitter in the Canandaigua area that I have assisted with as well for several years.
About: I love taking care of animals full time! I've had my own cats and dogs for over 17 years. Bella, a rat terrier mix (Bella passed in June of 2018) and Marley, a lab/greyhound who passed in 2025. I used to volunteer with Another Chance Pet Rescue fostering puppies and dogs until they found their Forever Homes so I’m familiar with all types and breeds of dogs. I've had experience with puppies, training and the needs of older pets as well as helping those who are anxious, scared or have come from so not so good homes. I just recently moved to the village of Lima but am familiar with all surrounding areas of Rochester. I enjoy walking, playing and taking hikes with dogs. My availability is flexible to fit your needs. I've had experience with a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua, Dachshund to Huskies and Pit Bulls. I also take care of small animals including cats, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, chickens, etc. and have recently expanded into Horses and goats ❤️ Pricing: Pricing is noted for dogs and cats only and is Per pet. I am flexible with adjusting rates depending on your needs and how many pets you have so please contact me. Walking and visits: This entails at least a 30 minute visit with your pets and I also send you a report card at the end of the visit with photos, potty breaks and what we did. House Sitting/Overnight visits: These entail 4 visits per day. Generally my times would be morning/breakfast, lunch, evening/dinner and once again before bed. If you need more visits I can adjust my schedule and rates to fit your needs. I do not spend the night with your pets unless for reasons it’s necessary or requested. I send daily photos and communicate how your pets are doing throughout the day. I will also bring in your mail and water plants:) I am currently pet sitting full time and taking care of my beautiful 10 year old daughter who occasionally helps me. My schedule is very flexible to fit your pets daily routine. I feel pets do better in their own surroundings and sticking to their daily routines. I’ll be watching your pets in their own home, making sure they are safe, comfortable and most important happy while you’re away!
“Lori is simply amazing!! We have an elderly chihuahua and Lori takes wonderful care of her when we’re away. With Lori we know our pup is being spoiled and we have zero worries. Lori is awesome!”
“I left my fur baby with Matt for a two-week span, and it couldn't have worked out better. Matt immediately connected with my pup, asked a bunch of questions about his routine and likes/dislikes, and was extremely communicative throughout the stay, sending photos and video updates of their walks and playtime. He even helped unload and set up my dog's crate, bed, and belongings! Matt is conscientious and caring, and I am so glad to have found him!! Highly recommend.”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
90% of sitters in Potter can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Potter home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Potter.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Potter. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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.
You and your Potter sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
