“Justine was a phenomenal sitter! We had a bit of a last minute need for a sitter and couldn’t be more happy with our experience. Justine was attentive, helpful, and incredibly friendly. We had so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog Violet got along so well with her Piper, and they definitely became fast friends. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Rebekah and her daughter were great with our pups. We could tell that they were so happy spending two weeks with the family. We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with them.”
“Kevin was great with our 2 dogs (lab and shih tzu) that were boarded for 12 days. He understands different dogs temperaments and how to handle them. We received pictures and updates regularly. I would recommend using his day or overnight services.”
“Total rock star sitter - could not recommend Kari any more highly! This was only Sadie‘s second time boarding in someone else’s home without me…I learned from my first experience that Sadie does not do great with other pets in the house… and, even though Kari’s was pet free, I was still trepidatious about trying another boarding situation in a strange (to my pup) home. My fears were immediately alleviated upon meeting and seeing Kari interact with Sadie and how she let Sadie explore around her wonderful home. Physical relief was all I felt when I left Sadie with her. Kari kept me informed each day with reports and pictures of what she and Sadie were doing, and I was never worried that Sadie was anxious or anything but completely comfortable. Seriously will make sure that Kari is available anytime I plan anything where I need to leave Sadie with someone for any reason! I think my girl had a great time and definitely was very well cared for. Cannot thank Kari and her family enough! ❤️❤️❤️”
“I can tell by how eager Splash is when she gets out of the car that she loves vacationing with Sergio. My girl is an abandoned rescue with lots of anxiety but loves hanging out with Sergio. Thank you so much!”
“Ruby had a blast with Amy and her crew. She came home happy, healthy, and tired. This was Ruby’s first overnight stay with anyone and Amy sent pics, stayed in contact, and made me feel very comfortable. We already have our next visit booked.”
“Seonmin is very responsive and sent photos and videos daily to me even without me asking! Lucky was so happy staying with her family and felt like he was home which even made me a little bit jealous, cuz Lucky really loves Seonmin’s husband! I definitely will come back to her again whenever I need to board Lucky again!”
“Having moved recently to New Bedford, we didn´t have any close friends or relatives to leave our Lhasa Apso Johann with. We are so glad we came accross Taylor and Tyler on the Rover platform. They responded to my first contact almost immediately and were very attentive in getting back to me so we could arrange our meet and greet. They took care of Johann for 5 nights and would send me pictures daily and keep me posted. Johann adapted very well and we could see he was being well taken care of and having a fun time! We are so happy and thankful we now have a place to leave him when we next have to travel without him!”
“Shatane and her family were absolutely amazing with my two dogs. They sent great updates of how they were doing and amazing pictures and videos. Have both my dogs plenty of exercise outside in the backyard and treated them as if they were their own. It made a week of travel less stressful to know my two were taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”
“My babies were so well cared for and loved by this family. I can’t say enough good things. If you want your fur babies to be treated like family Alysia is the way to go.”
“I am grateful to Marcia for taking such good care of my dog. Marcia has extensive experience with dogs and knows a lot about them. My dog was reluctant to leave her when I was picking it up. I am very happy with everything and would contact Marcia first if I need someone to look after my dog in the future.”
“Highly recommend!! This was our first time boarding our dog, Ellie, with someone we didn’t know. We arranged a meet and greet with Mike and his dogs and knew instantly that Ellie would be treated like one of their own. We received many photos of Ellie during her stay, she had a great time and we will be rebooking! ?”
“We had a great experience with Ciara. Hogan had never stayed with anyone but family and I was a little nervous since I was going away for 2 weeks. Ciara provided wonderful care and fun for Hogan and kept us informed of how he was doing and with texts, photos and videos. I highly recommend.”
“Michelle was awesome with both my dogs. I was nervous leaving them for so long but she made sure she sent plenty of pictures and updates to reassure me. She went out of her way to make sure they would be as comfortable as they would be at home. I will definitely be rebooking with her for any future trips I take!”
“Chloe had such a great experience with Debra! From the start, Debra was reliable, professional, and easy to communicate with. Chloe was well cared for and clearly comfortable in her care. It’s such a relief knowing I can leave Chloe somewhere she’s safe, happy, and loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Debra again!”
“Linda was fantastic taking care of our two Australian shepherds. She sent us several photos and videos during the stay and was very attentive to our dogs individual preferences. Recommend.”
“Jennifer was amazing. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your pet. Communication was flawless from start to finish, and she was always incredibly quick to respond to my text updates. I loved receiving the photos she sent throughout the weekend, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home. She spent time playing fetch—my dog's absolute favorite game—and was highly observant and adaptable when Daisy interacted with her own two dogs, ensuring all the pups felt safe and comfortable. To top it all off, she even sent my dog home with a toy she had fallen in love with during her stay. I will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Oscar loves Jessica, and her four-legged pack! He was a very happy puppy, when I picked him up. I’m very grateful that she didn’t shy away from watching such a young pup.”

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
89% of Rochester sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Rochester landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rochester 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 Rochester.
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.
You and your Rochester 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 MA 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.
