“Danielle was great to work with while my wife and I were away. She met us ahead of time, got to know the dogs, and was always responsive. Danielle spent time with the dogs, gave them walks, and fed them on schedule, and always shared pictures. We'll look forward to hiring her again.”
“Callie is great! She checked in with our dogs precisely on time and left great notes + photos. The dogs love her. One of our dogs is diabetic - Callie was experienced with observing signs of glucose inbalance and administering insulin. We recommend Callie and will request her service in the future.”
“Angela did a great job taking care of my cat as if he were her own pet. She was extremely diligent and avoided a vet emergency by promptly notifying me when she felt that something was wrong. I was on a flight when this occurred and she responsibly contacted my emergency contacts for guidance and was very patient in the process of coming up with a plan. My cat is perfectly fine but I appreciate Angela’s extra attention to care and problem solving! She even helped reset my cat’s automatic feeder when it got jammed, which is somewhat of a tedious task.”
“Andrea was great. Very attentive to my cat and thorough with daily updates and pictures. She made me feel at ease while being away. I will definitely use Andrea again.”
“Scott was able to come out on short notice, meeting Sasha the day before. They played outside, then spent some time relaxing indoors, giving me peace of mind while I was out of town. I highly recommend Scott and will be setting up more visits for next week.”
“Brittney was awesome with my cats! She was available on short notice, and even though the booking was for a short duration, the boys warmed up to her immediately! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated the entire time. I would recommend Brittney to everyone looking for a kind, caring, and attentive sitter!”
“Loryn is a lifesaver and checked on my pup, Fiona, during a weekend and I could immediately tell that she loves dogs! She sent timely and adorable updates on my pup and I felt very at ease that Fiona was in good hands, will definitely book again!!”
“Anne took excellent care of our kitty! She went above and beyond and even cleaned up a hairball that Pipa coughed up. We will definitely be booking her help again the next time we’re away.”
“Brittney is spectacular. She did pop-ins with my dog on short notice. Friendly, timely, and professional communications, with much appreciated pictures of the pooch. 10/10 Will use again”
“Gabrielle was the greatest to watch our dog. She was so patient with getting to know our dog and take care of her. She sent pictures every visit she had and our dog looked like she was having a great time! We would gladly have Gabrielle watch our dog again!”
“Andrea did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away on a business trip. She sent updates every day, including photos. When I came home I could tell my cat was very happy and had all of her needs met-she's a shy baby so she must have felt really safe with Andrea to have come out of her usual hiding spots for pets. Definitely recommend Andrea!”
“Mara was awesome!! The cats seemed to be comfortable with her immediately -- even our shy girl. Her drop-in pics made us smile everyday and she followed instructions perfectly as far as we could tell! Thank you Mara! You rock :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rochester
Anne was fantastic with my cats! She kept me updated throughout my trip with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. She was even able to win over my very shy, scaredy-cat, who not only came out to see her but even accepted some love and attention. It's clear Anne is patient, caring, and wonderful with animals. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!
Angela was AMAZING! She was super responsive, and i could tell from the first time meeting her that she has a deep love and care for all of the pets that she helps to take care of! We could not have asked for more updates, care, or attention for our cat! Nothing but amazing things to say about Angela!!
Callie was amazing! I submitted a last-minute drop-in request for both my dog and cat, and she was incredibly accommodating. She took the time to make sure both pets were cared for and provided updates that gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I appreciated that she also made sure my cat’s needs were met. It’s clear that Callie genuinely cares about animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I would absolutely book with Callie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsive pet sitter.
Anna was a great pet sitter! She was also incredibly flexible, I accidentally booked the wrong dates (I put May instead of April), and she kindly accommodated the change without any issues. Most importantly, she got along really well with my cat, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her!
Caroline was fantastic. She was dependable and when our Roomba unexpectedly moved our cat steps to their food, she let us know and put the steps back so our kids were still able to easily get to their food and water. She was kind and loving to our two cats each time she came. We highly recommend her!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rochester. On Rover:

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
