“Angela was a lifesaver for our dog and cat when we were in a tricky spot on a vacation! She helped out so much when we were in need and was so kind and caring to our boys! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Emily has been wonderful!! Our kitties love her and she’s been reliable and so attentive. We love her notes and updates while we are away. The photos she sends are very sweet and we appreciate it so much! We love her!”
“I asked Audra last min if she could come let my dog out and she was more than willing which I was so thankful for. She was running a little late so she got there later than the time I selected but did the full 30 mins with him once she was there which I was fine with.”
“Emma was fantastic! She sent great messages and pictures of my cat while I was away for an extended vacation. She was super responsive and I felt very safe leaving my fur baby in her care. Will plan to book her again when I need a sitter again!”
“We asked Mia to drop-in last minute due to our regular walker having to cancel and she was very accommodating and quick to help! Would consider Mia for a regular walker if we needed it!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. I often dog sit for my parents and friends. I am very adaptable to the needs of any animal! I currently work full time day shift and always have weekends off. On the weekends, we like to take walks to the park to play or just stay home and cuddle up on the couch and watch movies. I have a fenced in backyard. I work 10 minutes from home so I am free to stop in and let dogs out throughout the day.
“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!!”
“Sheryl is a great sitter!! She was always in contact. She offer to visit us first so our cats get familiar with her. After that she attend everything we ask her!! Always kind and very friendly. I'll totally recomend her!”
About: I have been a committed volunteer at animal shelters since 2018, which has given me hands-on experience with a variety of pets and situations. I’m well-versed in dog sitting, dog walking, and house sitting, and I have a deep understanding of animals' needs at different life stages. Additionally, I have experience administering veterinary medicine, ensuring that pets under my care receive any necessary treatments or medications. I have a full time job that is Monday through Friday 9-5, but I am available for pet sitting during the afternoons and evenings on week days and on weekends. I have a cat at home with asthma and dental issues, so I have experience with using the inhaler, giving pills and with cat tooth brushing
About: My family has had 2-3 labs since I was born. I have been active in their care from feeding, bathing, walking and training since I was a teenager and have occasionally cared for other pets as well - dogs and bunnies. I am allergic to cats and will not be able to spend as much time in homes with cats, so please keep this in mind before booking services. My work schedule involves a rotating schedule of 3 12 hour shifts a week. Please message me if you have specific questions about my schedule and what I am able to accommodate! I am respectful of privacy and personal items when in someone else’s home. I pay attention to the dogs demeanor and respond appropriately. For example, if the dog is more energetic and playful I will make sure to walk and/or play with them until they’re tired. I will not force the dog to do anything that they don’t want to.
About: I am a stay at home parent with 2 small children & have a beautiful 11 year old Siberian husky who is our kid’s best friend. She was our baby before we had babies! I am currently in school to become a registered nurse with many of my courses online. My schedule is very flexible to meet the needs of my family as well as the needs of others. I absolutely love all dogs & would probably have 20 if my husband would allow it... haha. I believe in spending quality time with dogs throughout the day as they need interaction just as much as we do. I can not remember a time throughout my life that we haven’t had a dog in our family. When in our home, your dog will be part of our family as well. I offer dog sitting throughout the day with flexible pick up/drop off times as well as over night stays. I only host one client at a time to ensure that your pet/s are a priority & receive the necessary care & attention they deserve. We spend lots of time outside, especially during the summer but only with my supervision. I am a stay at home parent and have a flexible schedule to be able to incorporate lots of time into things I enjoy, such as hosting and taking care of fur babies. I have a large, fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play along with my husky to keep your pup company. I encourage clients to bring their pups food, bowls, favorite toy, and crate (if crate trained).
About: I’ve had pets since I was 7 years old. I’ve had many dogs in my life and now I have 2 boy cats. I love animals and love taking care of them. I do work full time, so I’m available after work around 3 or 4 pm. And open on weekends. My weeks change from time to time. I will keep your pets safe and follow any instructions you have. Just leave me a detailed list for me to follow to make sure we are on the same page.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and my very own pup for 3 years now! Being a crazy dog mom I know how important not only walks, but snuggles and photos for mom/dad are! I have a rotating nursing schedule, so my availability shifts but I work 8 hour shifts so could be available at some point any day. I would love to care for your dog however you prefer! My home has another dog that loves to play with other dogs and access to a fenced in park.
About: I have had dogs in my life since the age of 3. I have fostered dogs waiting to be adopted while also caring for my own. I work fully remote during and have schedule flexibility which allows for great availability for dog walking, drop in visits, and doggy daycare at my home. My preference is to have an introduction visit with you and your pets prior to me visiting with them alone. During this time, I’ll learn about your routines and how you would like me to care for them. This also helps them see me as a trustworthy human!
About: I had a wonderful dog, Charlie, for 15 years. He had his issues, but he deserved just as much love as other dogs. For Charlie, it was hard to find someone that would give him love and understanding the way I did. I'd like to give your animal the same love you do, just the way I wanted others to do for my dog. While I work during the day, I have the ability to leave work for lunch or sometimes work from home. I'm available evenings and weekends. If I'm not home, dogs are in a room with a large patio door, which allows for yard watching. When home, pets are out and about in the house or free to roam the fenced in yard. Walks during the evening are always a good thing to help with restful sleep. And playtime and snuggles are a must!
“VERY HIGHLY Recommend!! Mikaela was a joy to work with. She is sweet and gentle in nature, which takes away the fear factor of an older dog. She went above and beyond expectations to make sure my Havanese rescue, Luna was properly cared for & comfortable while I was out for the day. She cleaned up messes, as well as, changed dirty diapers without hesitation. I very highly recommend her! And will definitely call on her if I am ever in the area again!”

Bethany G.
“Bethany is a true dog lover. She’s so patient and cherishes every second spent with them. I’ve seen firsthand how much care and attention she puts into every walk, belly rub, and play session. She treats every dog like family—especially our Jordy, who is her true bff. If you’re looking for someone who will actually care about your pup and not just do the bare minimum, she’s the one. Your dog will be in great hands.”

Rochester dog parents share their Rover experiences
Taylor was truly amazing the entire time that she cared for our dog LuLu! We can’t say enough great things about her or thank her enough for all her time and efforts. She made us feel extremely comfortable and so much better/less stressed about being away. She did exactly what we asked of her and then went above and beyond to make sure that she spent more than enough time with her each visit. She was very responsive, sent pictures/videos, and kept us informed every day. We will definitely be using her again whenever we are away and highly recommending her to everyone we know!
Mikaela is one of the best sitters I have had. It is without a doubt that my pups had a great time with her. She is a great communicator and is prompt with her visits. She always made sure to keep an eye on my dogs and made sure they were always entertained when I was gone for long periods of time.
