“I cannot recommend Irv highly enough! From the very beginning, his organized nature and flexibility made the entire booking and drop-off process a breeze. He made sure to keep us fully updated before the stay even began, which gave us so much peace of mind right out of the gate. During the stay, Irv’s attention to detail truly shined. He sent consistent, thorough updates and photos, showing exactly how well he was taking care of Daisy. It was clear that she was in fantastic hands, getting plenty of love, and having a great time. If you’re looking for a reliable, attentive, and communicative sitter, Irv is your guy. We would absolutely book with him again!”
“This is the 5th time Rahied watched Cobra for at least a week each time and every time he goes above and beyond! I absolutely love his family as well! They treats him like he's their pet! I hope they continue to be available for him because I can't imagine trying to find anyone better! 🥰🤗”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Kelly was happy to meet with me and my dog before we booked. She is so warm and friendly, and her dog Suzie is a such a sweetheart. All on my part, but I did not realize my young dog would have separation anxiety with a very upset stomach, and Kelly handled things like a pro. I called my vet after our stay to see what calming options I could use in the future, and she told me Kelly was an excellent Rover host if she was able to get my dog's stomach back to normal. Kelly went above and beyond, feeding my dog a bland diet and trying home remedies we discussed over the phone to get her back to normal. She sent photos and communicated with me daily. I would absolutely recommend her to others!”
“Nani had a longer stay with Cody and I had no concerns! He did a great job following additional instructions due to the longer stay and kept me updated throughout my trip. I feel confident in Cody and his ability to intervene and mediate between dogs in case any overexcitement or aggression happens. I feel comfortable leaving Nani with him knowing she’s in good hands!”
“Judith was great and very accommodating for a last minute request. Judith sent photos and videos of Scooby enjoying himself and making himself at home. Scooby slept for 10 straight hours after returning home, he had a lot of fun with the other dogs and kids in the home! Scooby made some new friends and would definitely bring Scooby back!”
“Brittany and her family were the perfect match for our 10 month old dog! Rory got a ton of love, attention, and fun with them and their own lovely dogs! Brittany was great about giving me a daily message to provide reassurance he was doing well while we were on vacation! She is definitely my “go-to” whenever I will be in need of daycare or boarding!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life. Personally I have always had a dog as a pet. I am always the person family or friends call when they need someone to watch their pets. I currently work a fully remote full time job. I am able to tend to your pet in the morning and evenings. Occasionally I am also able to take breaks at work where I could get a walk in. I am able to care for pets at your home or in my home for the day if your dog gets along with cats. They say dogs are the best judge of character and I've never met a dog that didn't like me!
About: I've been caring for dogs for 4 years and have a 5.0 rating from 24 reviews and 30 completed services on Wag!. Owners rebook me again and again, and several have made me their preferred caregiver. I'm comfortable with all sizes and energy levels, from calm seniors to active puppies, and I'm experienced with feeding, walking, medication, and keeping pets comfortable. I'm patient, reliable, and always on time. I'm a student with a flexible schedule, so I'm available for boarding, drop ins, and walks most days. I'm easy to reach and quick to reply Your pet's safety and comfort come first. I live in a safe home with a fenced yard and a park right behind it, and I have a small, friendly Shih Tzu named Choco. I follow your routine and instructions exactly, keep a close eye on every pet, and send photos and updates throughout the stay.
“Mackenzie and Josh were super nice and kept me updated on plan changes. They were quick to respond to all my questions and sent me lovely photos of my puppy. Alice had so much fun at their house and playing with Ben and Frank (their pups).”
“Mark was WONDERFUL with my pup Gordie. He sent me frequent updates with cute pictures which put me at ease during my vacation. He even took Gordie to work with him where he got plenty of love and affection! I will definitely use Mark for my pet sitting needs in the future.”
“Julie and Jason were just WONDERFUL! I brought them my 2 Chihuahuas (a 10 yr.old and a 1 yr old) They treated them with love, kindness and great care! I would highly recommend them to anyone and plan to use them again in the near future! Thank you again to Both of YOU!”
“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”
About: I grew up with cats and have raised two pups since they were around 10 weeks old. I’ve taken them to multiple levels of training classes and groom them at home. I treat my animals like they’re my children and would be happy to spread my love along to your furry friends! I work from home during the week, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to fit in pet care easily! I enjoy keeping busy, especially if it includes being around furry friends! I ensure pets receive adequate amount of food, playtime, attention and love each day. One of my pets was diagnosed with anxiety as a puppy, which has been a huge learning experience during walks and interactions with other dogs and people. I am a very patient person and would be happy to take care of pets regardless of their needs, personalities and behaviors. :)
“Angela takes such great care of our dog! She makes sure he is comfortable and sends us pictures every day. We have peace of mind when we are out of town knowing he is in good hands.”
“Kris took such great care of our little Bella. She was very accommodating, especially with helping to administer medication during Bella’s stay, taking her on many walks and making sure she slept comfortably. Our dog is used to lots of attention, and it was clear that she got it during the stay. Her home is warm and inviting, and we were able to get to know her and her family during a meet and greet, which helped us plan for the stay as well. We knew Bella was being well taken care of, and having a great time, as she sent many updates and pictures throughout the week. It felt like Kris treated her just like one of the family!”
“Over and beyond doesn’t even come close. We had a meet and greet and clicked instantly. Dianne took such great care of my fur baby Diesel. When I dropped him off they had a chalkboard that said, “Welcome Diesel”. He went on vacation when his mom did too! I received updates on his breakfast, walks, & snuggles and the cutest pictures each day. She replies so quickly to messages and takes such great care of my dog. When I came to pick him up they made two crafts with Diesels dog prints. I am so happy with her service and so glad I met her through Rover. She opened her home & her heart to us and I’m so overjoyed. Don’t hesitate and book her now! She’s the best! She makes you feel like family. I will be using her again in the near future. ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
We had a wonderful experience with Eunju! This was Foxy’s first time staying with her, and she was a little unsure of her new surroundings at first. Eunju was so patient and attentive, making sure Foxy felt comfortable and cared for. She listened to all of Foxy’s needs, sent regular photo updates, and took her on several walks, which Foxy absolutely loves! It gave us peace of mind knowing Foxy was in such good hands. We would definitely book with Eunju again!
I had a wonderful experience with her! She took such great care of my dog, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved. It was his first time staying with a dog sitter, and I’m so happy with how everything went. She is very caring, responsible, and trustworthy. I truly appreciate all the love and attention she gave him. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much! ❤️🐾
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!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Rochester is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $61 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 1,444 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Rochester. About 92% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
