“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!”
“Dawn took fantastic care of my baby! She came home beautifully tired out from playing with Dawn's own fur babies. Dawn provided informative daily updates that kept my mind completely at ease. I highly recommend her!”
“Always an amazing experience. It is the second time that I used Vinata and I am always so happy. Vinata and the family took really good care of my pup and sent plenty of picts.. they did an amazing job and I am so grateful for this!”
“Brittany was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She would send pictures and updates during the course of the day. Her family and pets made him feel like he was a part of the family.”
“Kate is amazing! I am always a little anxious about leaving Downey with other people, but Kate made sure he had the best time. She is attentive and patient and answers quickly. She followed all the instructions well and sent videos and photos every day. Her availability and flexibility to take care of Downey for us again during the Holidays saved our lives after weeks of looking for an available and affordable sitter. As long as Kate is available, I'll not look for another sitter again. I 100% recommend her!!”
“Miranda and Erica provided a truly loving home for Honey. Always a good sign when your dog wants to stay and not get into the car. Having a fenced back yard was a real treat for Honey. But all the cuddles she got was the highlight. We will definitely book again.”
“Sarah was a great host for our dogs while we went away for 2 weeks. She helped coronate an initial meet and greet to make sure the dogs got along and we were comfortable leaving them. She was also incredibly responsive to all texts leading up to our stay and during, as well as keeping us updated with pictures the entire time. She let our boys make themselves at home, which we really appreciated. 10/10 stay, would use her and family as a host again! Thanks so much!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 12 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages and personalities, and I also regularly help care for my neighbor’s dog when needed. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and will always treat your dog with the same love and care I give my own. I work remotely, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention, potty breaks, walks, and playtime! I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at home. I’m happy to accommodate their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. My community also has a beautiful walking trail and a dog park, which makes it easy to get outside for some exercise and fresh air. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog will have lots of company, love, and attention while they’re with me.
“Erin was absolutely amazing with our 1-year old bulldog puppy. She provided updates and pictures that made it clear that our dog was getting a lot of love and attention in Erin's home. Erin also was super flexible and accommodating when our flight was cancelled, which meant we weren't able to pick her up on our scheduled day. We'll definitely be back!”
“Mayrannie took care of my 9 month old pup for 3 weeks, while I had to travel. She was wonderful in doing multiple meet-and-greets to slowly introduce him to her environment. She took great care of my pup, sending me pictures almost every day. I highly recommend Mayrannie.”
“We felt so confident that Georgie was having a wonderful time with Amy and her family and had a great time playing with Woody. It helps us feel better about going on vacation knowing he is well taken care of. Thank you so much Amy❤️”
“Dellisa did a wonderful job taking care of our 7month old lab/pit mixed puppy. She communicated very well and esponded to questions quickly. She was also very polite and kind. We recommend her to anyone!”
“Our rambunctious and mischievous dog Geordi was well cared-for and it seems like he really enjoyed his stay with Cara and Samuel. Communication was excellent, with good response times, proactive updates, and asking questions when needed. He found a new friend in their dog Rio and it seems like they really got along with each other. No complaints whatsoever - I would definitely be interested in hiring this kind and caring couple for pet sitting again in the future.”
“Noom and Lawerence were great hosts and Wrigley had a great time. They were very supportive and accommodating and more than happy to give Wrigley her daily eye drops. They also had a great space for Wrigley to run and play with their dog Leo. I’m certain Wrigley would be happy to go back.”
“What an amazing host family! Tanuja took all the appropriate steps to make me and spice feel welcome and comfortable with this being a first time host. We had a meet and greet so both dogs could get comfortable with each other and after that moved towards hosting. She kept me well informed and was very thorough with making sure she had everything to care for spice. I would definitely book again with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who asked.”
“Grant is a great guy. He treated my dog as if he was his own. Grant is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dog adores him and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see him interact with your dog that it is not just a business to him, it is his love.”
“Shanel Took care of hazelnut really well she kept me informed throughout the whole stay, hazelnut seem like she had a lot of fun staying with Shanel. I would highly recommend taking your dog there they will be well taken care of. Thank you for taking care of my dog”

Chip has stayed twice now and seems to fit right in as part of the family with Sarah. Communication and updates are great. Every time he comes back you can tell he was well cared for and got all kinds of extra attention. Can't say enough on how amazing the stays have been.
Kurt was awesome with my 3 cats. He was patient and understanding with each of their needs and personalities. He gave one her medication with no problems or complaints. I loved when he sent daily updates and photos and it was very clear he was a true good cat guy. Even my shy shy kitty came out for him from time to time. Two thumbs up!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Rochester on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,448 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rochester. About 93% of Rochester sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. 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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
