“Eunju was very caring for my senior dog Lemon and gave her TLC. She provided photos and updates and was understanding and accommodating. Lemon was in good spirits and very relaxed when we picked her up. I hope that Eunju will be available in the future to care for Lemon. Thank you, Eunju.”
“Shivambika was very responsive when our dog was with her for three days. We received updates daily and our dog was very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Carolina was absolutely amazing with Dixie. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing my dog would be in caring and capable hands. She sent regular updates, photos, and gave so much love and attention to my Dixie —it was clear she genuinely care about dogs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dogs and a tidy space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Carolina again!”
“Tory did a fantastic job with our dog, Jameson! He is very friendly, but can be very needy as he had never used a leash or stairs before foster care and he has only been with us for a few weeks. We noticed a remarkably improved difference with his leash training and going down stairs, which we attribute to Tory and her patience. Tory was amazing through the entire process from start to finish and went above and beyond. On short notice during a holiday weekend, Tory promptly responded with an early drop off and very late pickup staying in contact and sharing pictures. We would highly recommend Tory and plan on scheduling more stays with her in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m 30 years old and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up in a house full of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—my mom always had rescues and mixed breeds, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels. Today, I have my own adopted 16 lb mixed-breed dog, and caring for him has only deepened my love and experience with dogs. I’m confident handling puppies and energetic dogs, and I truly enjoy walks, playtime, and giving them attention and care. For safety reasons, I prefer not to work with dogs that are overly aggressive or difficult to manage. My experience is focused entirely on dogs, so I’m not the best fit for cats or other types of pets. I’m available to foster small dogs in my apartment. I work from home and I’m able to walk him/her 3/4 times a day. I’m also available for drop-in visits between 6 AM–8 AM and anytime after 5 PM. I live in an apartment with a fenced area, which is great for safe outdoor time. I’m also happy to take your dog on walks outside around the neighborhood. I can feed, play with, and walk your dog, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
“Laura and Joe were beyond my expectations! This was my first time having her stay with people outside my family and I couldn’t have had a better experience. They updated me throughout my weekend away and cared for her more than I could have asked. My girlie had a cyst on her tail that popped on her visit, and not only did they keep it clean, they wanted a follow up after. I wasn’t sure if Bella was going to want to come home after her visit… and my daughter even wanted to stay because they are that sweet and caring! I would recommend them over and over again!”
“This was our first time having Lia & Jonathan watch our dog, Ringo. His stay at their home exceeded our expectations. Ringo had a great time on their large property and went for walks regularly. There was daily communication with photos and videos so we could see how he was doing. It was a great immersive experience for him playing with the other dogs for the week, and he's definitely tired... in a good way! We have already rebooked!”
“Katie was amazing! She made me feel so at ease and comfortable knowing my Fiona was in her care. Fiona was so happy to get to Katie’s house and looked so happy in her pictures! I can’t thank Katie enough for taking care of my girl!!!”
“Cynthia took great care of our Goldendoodle Ollie! It was our first time leaving him and after the meet and greet we were excited for Ollie to have a fun weekend! Cynthia has a perfect property for dogs to enjoy and has made wonderful accomodations inside to make a pet feel at home! She sent many pictures and updates to set our minds at ease. It was evident from the pictures that Ollie was happy and content staying with Cynthia! She will be be our first choice for Ollie the next time we travel!”
“Christina kindly took Wilson in on very short notice, which I really appreciated. She has a beautiful home and yard, and Wilson was so excited to meet her dog and another pup she was caring for. I’m grateful she was available and that Wilson had a chance to play and socialize in such a welcoming environment.”
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with hands on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During high school, I worked at an animal hospital where I learned about animal behavior, handling techniques, and the importance of providing attentive, individualized care. In addition to my experience, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats through pet sitting and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or anything in between, I’m committed to treating them like family. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and regular updates throughout the day. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care in a safe environment. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I’m home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and attention. I can also easily accommodate your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure their needs are met. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“She is really awesome! It is my first experience and my dog needed boarding immediately because of my business travel. but she responded very quickly even if I requested about 7am. It was very appreciated. She also has a dog and cat. They were very nice to him.( Thank you guys!) Her house condition was good enough for boarding dog. Clean and organized. I am so happy to find perfect place at once. I think I am lucky.”
“Tiger was so comfortable and happy throughout his stay! We received lots of updates and communication while we were gone, and we would definitely book with Iris and Thomas again!”
“Linda watched my pup on such short notice (2 days after initial contact!) and she made our meet and greet a priority by adjusting her schedule. While Obie was there, she ensured that he was happy, healthy and comfortable; Linda sent pictures and cute narrations of them! We will definitely be booking with Linda in the future!”
“Exceptional Care for Luka: A Heartfelt Review for Vinata's Family cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided to Luka by Vinata's family dog. From the moment we dropped off our beloved furry family member, we knew he was in good hands. The level of attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction.Throughout Luka's stay, we received regular updates, including photos which truly eased our minds and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing he was happy and well-cared for. It was evident that the dog sitter went above and beyond to ensure Luka felt comfortable and loved, providing ample playtime, walks, and cuddles..Their patience and understanding truly set them apart.Returning home, we found Luka happy, healthy, and perhaps even a little reluctant to leave his newfound friends. It's clear that he formed a bond with the dog sitter and their family, which speaks volumes about the level of care and affection he received.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Vinata's family dog sitter to anyone in need of reliable, compassionate care for their furry companions. Their dedication to providing a safe and nurturing environment for pets is truly commendable, and we are immensely grateful for the peace of mind they provided during our time away. Thank you for treating Luka like a member of your own family!”
“Kristen is a 5-star sitter! As a first-time user and owner of a nervous Golden Retriever, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were communicative, caring, and made Katz feel comfortable immediately. Highly recommend for anyone with a “shy or anxious pup!"”
About: I grew up around animals my whole life. My friend had a farm growing up, and I loved to help out. I have always lived with dogs, bunnies, geckos, frogs, cats, you name it! I love pets and would treat yours no less then if they were my own:) Pets are family too! I am absolutely an animal lover and would love to take care of yours like they are my own. Since Bailey our dog, the last of our animals passed away two years ago I have been missing a furry friend in my life. At the moment I am training for the police academy and work part time at a gym that is close to my house. With that being said I have lots of free time; My weeks are completely open so I am happy to help anytime of the day or evening. I know animals need lots of love, attention, and exercise. I love to take walks and always enjoy a furry companion. Fresh water is important, enough potty breaks and definitely make sure they have a full belly! I'II make sure your fur baby is having too much fun to notice you're gone :) Also, I apologize if it says I have a low response time! When I first used the app a few years ago I did not click “away” when I stopped using the app, instead I just deleted it. I promise I will answer ASAP! At the moment I am training for the police academy and work part time at a gym that is close to my house. I work at the gym Monday and Tuesday from 5pm until 11pm and have Volleyball on Friday from 6pm until 11pm. With that being said I have lots of free time; My weeks are completely open so I am happy to help anytime of the day or evening. I live in a house that is on a dead end of a neighborhood which is very peaceful. There is a trail that is directly behind my house for easy walk access. My yard is unfenced but I will make sure to leash and supervise your pup if they are staying at my home! If your dog needs to be crated I ask that you please bring one as I do not have a crate of my own. There is no other animals in my home to worry about, I am willing to accommodate to any needs your dog may need.

When I drop Lemon off she doesn’t even look back at me because she knows she’s getting the utmost love and care. I enjoy the updates and photos of Lemon eating well, exercising/playing and sleeping with happiness in her body language. I always know that she’s in great hands.
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!

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.
96% 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 MI 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.
