“Michaela took fantastic care of our fur child while we were gone on an extended trip! We were very lucky to find her last minute and she was super accommodating with our care requests!”
“We would definitely recommend! I really appreciated the communication we received during booking and later the communication + photos we received during Charlie’s overnight stay. It helped us feel reassured he was in good hands. In all the pics he seemed like he was having a great time. Drop off and pick up was also very smooth. I’ll definitely book again in the future when we need help with dog sitting.”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care she gave my Lola! Lindsay took her on regular walks, made sure she was comfortable and happy, and kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lola was in such loving and responsible hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely trust Lindsay with Lola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Took Shadow to Kathy for a couple of daycare visits prior to leaving him for a week. Shadow got along fine with Kathy and her husband. After those initial daycare visits, I knew she was the right person to take care of my furkid while I was on vacation. Shadow stayed with Kathy for 7 days, she sent pics, videos and narrative updates daily. He was happy as a clam in her care and I highly recommend Kathy!”

“Queeny always takes such great care of Kaju! We went away on a two-week trip and I don’t think Kaju wanted to leave Queeny’s - even running back to her for one last goodbye!

Your pup will be in great hands 😊”

“Emily did a great job caring for my pup while I was on spring break vacation. Her communication was timely, friendly, and clear. She provided complete information on what to expect while my pup was in her care- there was no second guessing and everything she said she followed through on. I would 100% recommend her to anyone.”

I was very nervous leaving my dogs and Elaine was so good with them that I relaxed and had a good vacation. I will definitely use her again.”
About: As both a lifelong dog owner and a healthcare professional, I bring compassion, responsibility, and attention to detail to every pet I care for. Growing up with dogs — and now being completely obsessed with my own — has taught me how important routine, safety, and genuine affection are. My background in healthcare means I’m dependable, highly attentive, and comfortable handling special instructions or medical needs. Your pet’s well-being and comfort will always be my top priority. Your dog will be treated like family, with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I currently have a hybrid work schedule I would be gone working Monday-Wednesday for up to 4 hours total in the mornings between 8am and 12pm but home with dogs the rest of the day after that. I work fully remote Thursdays and Fridays and then home all weekend. If I do have to leave or run errands I make sure dogs are not alone for too long and have never left my dog alone for more than 5 hours max. I have a large fenced in yard and 2 dogs who love to run and play. There is no furniture that is off limits, dogs are allowed anywhere they would like. Caring for the pet would mean working around the dogs schedule and routine. Dog would receive lots of exercise, treats and cuddles.
“I highly recommend Adam and will use them again. He is very knowledgeable in dog care and very observant. He had my two dogs personalities pegged perfectly. Loved that I was kept informed with pictures and notes and helped me feel comfortable leaving them. My doggies enjoyed spending time with his super sweet dog too. Will definitely book again.”
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.
“I couldn’t be more satisfied with Sarah! She and her husband are very nice people and made us and our puppy to feel at ease almost within 5 mins of our meet and greet. She was quick to respond and she provided daily pictures and updates on Pepper, who seemed to have a great time with her and her dogs (who also are super chill). Would book again.”

Pet 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!
