About: Hi! I’m a registered nurse with a flexible schedule who loves caring for animals. I’ve spent years helping friends and family care for their dogs and cats by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and understand the importance of following routines and special instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior who needs extra care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. offer boarding in our clean, pet-friendly townhome in Troy, just outside of Rochester. Our community has plenty of safe walking paths, green space, and a dog park nearby for dogs whose owners are comfortable with dog park visits. As a full-time nurse, I work only three 12-hour shifts each week, so I have several days dedicated to pet care. On my workdays, my partner gets home earlier than I do, so pets are never left alone for long. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment, follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions, and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay. Your pet will be treated like part of our family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home where pets are treated like family. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and daily routines.

“Joshua watched Stella for 4 nights. He took wonderful care of her. We had a great experience. He sent daily updates and gave us such peace of mind during my daughter’s wedding week. Reliable, communicative and trust worthy, I truly appreciate all his help and would highly recommend him.”

“We had such a great support from Mayrannie. She sent us Dingdong's picture everyday and seemed Dingdong was also happy. Definitely we recommend Mayrannie. Fence wall is completely surrounded at her home and it's spacious so any energetic dog can be best fit. Mayrannie's dog Kiara is also very nice. We will ask her help again.”
“Very happy repeat customer! When we arrived at her place our dog’s tail started wagging. He was so happy to see her and her family and is very comfortable with them. Lots of videos, love, and attention.”
“My experience was awesome. This was my first time using Rover and Sogol v made this the best experience ever. She was friendly, showed my pup and myself love. I felt so comfortable because she went above and beyond with her selfless personality. She sent pictures and communicated with me daily. I would recommend her to anyone looking to use this service. You can feel the love she has for animals and people. I can't thank her enough and will use her again.”

Remain attentive, and responsible during all dog-watching hours.Treat all dogs with kindness and respect. Follow any special instructions provided by the owner.
“This was our 1st Rover experience & it was very positive. We've always relied on friends & family since we got him in 2021, but this time no one was available. We won't board him cause he is a rescue from the shelter. I did 5 or 6 different meet & greets & this was the best fit. I was super nervous to leave him with complete strangers, but they were so sweet & chill during the initial meeting, it just all fell into place. 3 of the highlights for me was their fenced in yard, they worked from home & their dog was very good with ours. Our dog is big, usually small dogs are intimidated by him. Not their doggy! He was so happy to have a buddy for the week. They sent pictures daily & allowed him to sleep wherever. I would absolutely book with them again.”
“Deb was amazing!! She took great care of my puppy Ryder. She made sure she knew Ryder’s needs and his schedule. She kept me updated and sent pictures too😊 I would recommend Deb to anyone- it is clear she is a dog lover!! :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs through personal pet-sitting and have developed a strong understanding of their daily needs, routines, and behaviors. I enjoy spending time with animals and am committed to making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I take pride in giving pets the same care and attention I would give my own! As a college student who’s currently on summer break, I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and regular check-ins while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention and affection. I can happily care for your furry companions most flexibly at times of 7-5 on week days and most of Saturdays and Sundays with plenty of room for overnights and weekly stays! I understand how important it is to trust somebody else with your pet, and I like to take that responsibility very seriously. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and special instructions given to me by owners to ensure the best possible care. Communication is crucial so I enjoy sending updates by phone to clients so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. When going outside, dogs will always be leashed with eyes on them AT ALL TIMES!
“It’s always hard to find someone to trust with your pets. Erin has watched our two dogs a couple of times now and they’ve come home happy! We especially appreciated her flexibility when we had a flight cancellation/delay and arrived home later than expected.”
“Briana is definitely comfortable taking care of dogs. This was the first time ever to leave my puppy with a "stranger" and other dogs. My energetic puppy instantly warmed up to Briana's small dog and Briana was so calm and helped my puppy quickly become comfortable with her bigger dog. My puppy had SO MUCH FUN at Briana's with her fun dogs and huge backyard (an Australian Shepherd's dream yard). I was and would be totally comfortable leaving my baby at her home!”
“My dog had a wonderful time. LaTasha sent updates, was very communicative and professional during my dogs stay. If we ever need a sitter again and she's and available we will definitely book again.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Rochester is $45

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!

There are 1,460 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.

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.
