“Eunju spoiled our labrador completely! She took her to various parks for long walks and puppy adventures. Eunju makes it easy to travel with peace of mind, sending daily updates & taking care of our dog so lovingly.”
“Ilona watched our dog at her house for a week. We are extremely happy with the care and love she and her family provided our pup and highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog sitter. I felt like they treated him like he was a member of their family and gave him so much love and attention. Ilona sent lots of pictures and videos and asked a few questions when she wasn’t sure of Jimmy’s routine. Jimmy came home happy and relaxed and knowing a few new tricks! Thank you guys so much!!!”

I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Carolina again!”

Snickers seemed completely at ease with her, and I could tell he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

They offer a really welcoming space for your pets and you can tell that they care about every one that they take care of.

I was slightly offended but so happy they enjoyed their stay.”

That was so appreciated from this new dog mama! We are truly grateful for Amanda’s patience and attentiveness. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
Sarah and her family are absolutely amazing! We feel so lucky to have found such a loving and caring home for our boys while we were away. Our boys had a wonderful time, and Sarah kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. I’ve been using Rover for over 6 years, and I can confidently say that I’ve never had such an incredible experience with any other sitter or family. The love, warmth, and care Sarah and her family showed our boys truly meant so much to us. I cannot recommend them enough! If you’re looking for a home away from home for your fur babies, where they’ll be treated like part of the family, look no further. Thank you, Sarah and family, for taking such wonderful care of our boys!
Tory watched my senior dog over my wedding weekend and I can truly say I did not have to worry about him at all. I felt so at peace dropping him off and receiving updates throughout the weekend of him safe and comfortable. He takes a few medicines and Tory did a great job administering them when needed. Highly recommend Tory, it was my first time using Rover and I am so happy I did!
Andrea took very good care of my dog Sadie. Treated Sadie like she was her own fur baby. Sent photos every day to show how happy Sadie was and how things were going. I would definitely recommend Andrea as a pet sitter for your fur baby. I plan to use her again in the near future.
If we could give Mary 6 stars, we would! Our dog truly looked like she was living her best life at Mary’s house. She sent so many fun pictures and updates throughout the weekend, putting our mind at ease. She even took our girl on multiple walks to get her energy out and she came home soooo happy! So glad we found Mary, she is incredible!
Hongjun was incredibly friendly and made us feel at ease right away. She sent us lots of photos during our dog’s stay, which really reassured us. In the photos, our dog looked so relaxed and comfortable — it was clear that she was cared for like a family member. Our dog is quite picky and preparing her meals can be a bit of a hassle, but Hongjun handled everything so thoughtfully, which we truly appreciated. On top of that, her husband is a great animal photographer and even gifted us a wonderful photo of our dog! We would absolutely love to ask them again in the future. Highly recommended!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rochester home-away-from-home, packing:

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.
